Easter Services Schedule

Observe Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday at these Fairfax City churches. Did I miss a service (or two)? Let me know in the comments below.

Christ Presbyterian Church

Friday, April 22, Good Friday Tenebrae Service at 7:30 p.m. Join us as we reflect on what has transpired between Palm Sunday and Good Friday. Through the use of symbolic candles we will move from the light and hope of Palm Sunday and enter into the darkness of the crucifixion. In particular, we will remember the suffering of Christ as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

Sunday, April 24: 7:00, 8:30 & 11:00 Worship, 9:30 Breakfast

•  7:00 a.m. Sunrise service on the front steps

• 11:00 a.m. Traditional Easter worship with special musical offering by the Sanctuary Choir

Everyone is invited to bring a flower to add to the resurrection cross on our front lawn. The flower doesn’t have to be fancy – it can be anything growing around your yard. Our resurrection cross is a beautiful way for our church to express its Easter Joy to the community.
