Palm Sunday Worship

Sunday, March 29
Both campuses of Redeemer Lutheran Church

When Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey at the beginning of Holy Week, the crowds sang His praises and spread palm branches before Him. Join us as we sing His praises in worship at the 8:00 am traditional service and the 10:45 am contemporary service.

Maundy Thursday Worship

Thursday, April 2
Both campuses of Redeemer Lutheran Church

Thursday of Holy Week was a monumental day in the ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ. On that day He washed the disciples’ feet and commanded us to do the same. He instituted the Lord’s Supper, named His betrayer, prayed in the garden and was arrested as a criminal.

Come worship the King who washes our feet. Maundy Thursday worship in Nixa is at 6:30 pm and in Springfield at 3:30 and 7:00 pm.


 

Maundy Thursday Prayer Stations

After Maundy Thursday worship, stay for a time of personal prayer and meditation. Prayer Stations will be in place around the sanctuary as we remember Jesus’ desire in the Garden of Gethsemane for His disciples to “watch and pray” with Him.

Good Friday Tenebrae Service

Friday, April 3
Both campuses of Redeemer Lutheran Church

Friday of Holy Week is the day Jesus died – and darkness covered the land. Tenebrae means “darkness”.

Our worship this day is somber and filled with awe as we contemplate the dreadful price paid for our redemption. At the same time, we are filled with joy at the depth of Christ’s love for us and the value He places in us. He willingly sacrificed His life so we could be His.

Come worship the King who left His throne and gave His all for us. Good Friday services start in Nixa at 6:30 pm and in Springfield at 3:30 and 7:00 pm.

Movie Night: The King of Kings

Saturday, April 4 (Springfield campus only)

A father tells his son the greatest story ever told, and what begins as a bedtime tale becomes a life-changing journey. Through vivid imagination, the boy walks alongside Jesus, witnessing His miracles, facing His trials, and understanding His ultimate sacrifice. The King of Kings invites us to rediscover the enduring power of Christ’s hope, love, and redemption through the eyes of a child.

This free community showing of The King of Kings will be presented at the Springfield campus on Saturday, April 4. Doors open at 5:30 pm and the movie starts at 6:00. Children must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
