• Ash Wednesday is observed by Christians as a solemn day of self-reflection and repentance. The name for this day comes from the ancient church custom of applying ashes to foreheads as a reminder of our sinfulness and our appointment with death. Ashes are applied in the shape of a cross to remind us of God's cure for our sinfulness.


    6:30pm Dinner - Our traditional soup and bread dinner will be hosted by our Deacons in the Fellowship Hall.  


    7:30pm Service - Our worship service will include the tradition of applying ashes to foreheads as well as partaking in the Lord's Supper. Like all of our worship services, children are welcome and encouraged to participate.


  • We are excited to have two online studies - one for men and one for women - during Lent on Wednesday evenings. Once every year, the church calendar calls us to walk through the events of the final week of Jesus’ life. We celebrate Palm Sunday with exuberance. We weep through Good Friday. We eagerly await Easter Sunday. Many of the events of this final week will be familiar to you. But you will find it helpful to gain a perspective from each of the four Gospel writers, learning what God was doing in that week that changed our world.

    Join us as we gain insight and wisdom from following the path to the cross—the path that Jesus, King of all kings and Suffering Servant, walked for us.


  • Palm Sunday also known as Passion Sunday, is a celebration that honors Jesus Christ's victorious entry into Jerusalem. It is an event that is mentioned in all four Gospels. It was a joyful occasion as Jesus rode into Jerusalem as a conquering King, and the people shouted his praises and worshipped Him as he deserves.  


    Our 10:45am Worship Service will open with our children parading in with palm leaves and shouting Hosanna!  Our Next Gen Praise Team will also share a special song during our service.


  • Good Friday commemorates the suffering and death on the cross of Jesus Christ. Many Christians spend Good Friday in fasting, prayer, repentance and meditation on the agony and suffering of Christ.  It is observed on the Friday before Easter Sunday.  


    Our 7pm Worship Service will include special interactive stations where you can nail your sins to a cross, partake in the Lord's Supper and pray with our Elders and Deacons.  Childcare will not be provided.


  • Easter is the annual celebration of Jesus Christ's resurrection to life after His crucifixion and death. The day is also called Resurrection Sunday. The word Easter is related to the word east, which naturally points us to the sunrise, to new days and new beginnings.


    Our Worship Services will be held at 9am and 11am as we celebrate the resurrection. Our 11am service will be livestreamed on our Facebook page at facebook.com/neelsville.   


    Children are encouraged to worship with their families in the Sanctuary on this special Sunday. Nursery care will be available at both services for children 2 years and younger.


    Between the services, join us for fellowship with an Easter Brunch in the Welcome Center.


  • The Next Generation Ministry is excited to host an Egg Hunt on Easter Sunday after our 11am Worship Service on our front lawn. We hope many children can join us as our volunteers and staff direct them in the egg hunt. 


    In preparation for the egg hunt, we are collecting candy donations through March 29. We will have a drop off for candy in the Narthex (lobby in front of our sanctuary). If you have any questions or would like to volunteer for the egg hunt, please email our Next Gen Ministry at kids@neelsville.org or students@neelsville.org.
