🙌🏾 Basta Ya!
(enough already)
Basta ya, God is saying to us in this moment! It’s time for a revival-and not some typical church revival, we need a pentacost people power revival!

Today is Palm Sunday.
What does it mean this Sunday? Under the tentacles of authoritarianism?
It means the same thing as when it started. Because for Jesus this day was a protest, not a parade.

We invite you to experience the full depth of Holy Week through four distinct services:
🌿 Palm Sunday (Apr 13 @ 10:30am)
🍷 Maundy Thursday (Apr 17 @ 7pm)
🕯️ Good Friday Service (Apr 18 @ 6pm, at @St John’s)
🌈Easter Sunday (Apr 20 – Breakfast @ 9am, Easter Egg Hunt @ 9:45am, and Worship @ 10:30am)
You are invited to walk the sacred journey of Holy Week with us—
from the palms of protest
to the quiet of the upper room,
from the shadow of the cross
to the joy of resurrection morning.
Each service is a stop on the path from heartbreak to hope.
Come as you are, and find yourself in the story.
