“Journey to the Cross” is an opportunity for personal reflection, communal worship, and spiritual preparation as we approach the culmination of Holy Week. Through scripture, prayer, and the act of communion, we will remember the Last Supper Jesus shared with His disciples, His agonizing path to the cross, and the sacrificial love that led Him to lay down His life for us. This evening is a call to all who desire to draw near to the cross, to remember the cost of our freedom, and to meditate on the love that Jesus demonstrated. It’s a time to prepare our hearts for the sorrow of Good Friday and the joy of Easter Sunday.

Experience “Jesus in the Seder,” a special Seder Dinner on Good Friday, from 5:30-7:00 PM in the LJPC Fellowship Hall.

In the shadow of Good Friday, a profound truth whispers through the ages: “Sunday’s Coming.” This video is not just a retelling of events; it is a visceral reminder that from the deepest darkness, the brightest dawn emerges. As we approach Easter, let it rekindle in us an unshakeable faith in resurrection and renewal. The promise of Easter isn’t just that Christ rose, but that in our darkest moments, resurrection is always on the horizon. Watch “Sunday’s Coming” and embrace the dramatic hope of Easter.
