7:00 – 8:00 pm  |  Sanctuary

Good Friday is the day we remember our Lord’s death. It is so easy to take the significance of the cross for granted because we hear about it often. We see the image of the cross everywhere. This service is a chance for us to slow down and truly reflect on what Jesus’ sacrifice means. This will be a somber time of reflection and thankfulness as we consider what Jesus did for us.

Join us at Golden Hills Community Church, as we worship through singing, the reading of scripture and prayer.

We do not recommend that young children attend this service, as it will be dark and quiet. We are offering childcare for your children for this service. Please use this link to register your child. Registration is required at least 3 days before this event (March 25) for staffing purposes.

The church is located at2401 Shady Willow Lane in Brentwood. For more information about Holy Week visit www.goldenhills.org.

7:00-8:00 pm in the Sanctuary

Holy Week is the period leading up to Resurrection Sunday (you may know it as Easter Sunday). From Palm Sunday through the rest of the week, important events were taking place that set this week apart from any other normal week. This space is dedicated to providing resources to help us learn more about these days so we can reflect on and appreciate the work Jesus has done for us!

Maundy Thursday is a day where we remember the night Jesus instituted the Lord’s Supper and taught His disciples about being a servant when He washed their feet. This is a time for us to reflect on what it means to be a servant, love others, and remember what Jesus’ sacrifice is all about.

Join us as we worship through singing, the reading of scripture, prayer, and partaking in the Lord’s Supper together.

Holy Week is the period leading up to Resurrection Sunday (you may know it as Easter Sunday).

This space is dedicated to providing resources to help us learn more about these days so we can reflect on and appreciate the work Jesus has done for us! We will be having services on Thursday and Friday, in addition to our regular Sunday services, so we can gather and learn together about these specific days and respond as a church.

You are invited to join us at Golden Hills Community Church as we see what Jesus accomplished and how He is the fulfillment of all God has promised. Everyone is welcome at 8:30 or 10:30 to worship the Lord with us! Our kids will be joining us for our annual Palm Parade!
