Easter & Holy Week at Messiah Church
Join us this Easter season as we journey together in faith, reflection, and celebration. From the joyful worship of Palm Sunday, the solemn reflection of Good Friday, and the triumphant celebration of Easter Sunday, to a special Easter Egg Hunt for the kids on Easter morning, there’s something for everyone. Come and experience the hope and renewal of Easter — there's a place here for you!

Easter Egg Hunt
Sunday, April 5

All kids are invited to an Easter Egg Hunt on Easter Sunday between worship services. We'll gather in the atrium first (near the sanctuary doors), then the hunt begins at 9:45 am, followed by Easter crafts and activities in Heritage Hall. During both worship services, there will be a special message just for kids too, along with an Easter gift for every child who attends.
Holy Week Services

Palm Sunday
Sunday, March 29
8:45 & 10:30 am CT
On Palm Sunday we’ll wave palms during our opening song as we remember Jesus’ triumphant but humble entry into Jerusalem during the last week of his life. We’ll end each service with communion and the presentation of a life-sized cross as we prepare our hearts for His death and resurrection.

Easter Offering
Each year, Messiah Church selects two organizations to receive our special Easter Offering. Your 2026 Easter Offering is a gift to Bloom Early Learning & Child Care and Messiah's Emergency Fund.

Bloom Early Learning & Child Care is a non-profit early learning center located here at Messiah Church, with a special mission to make the highest quality childcare, programs, and curriculum accessible to the entire community. Your Easter Offering supports the Shirley Robinson Scholarship Fund, which provides tuition assistance for children of low-income families, allowing parents to work while their children receive otherwise unaffordable quality care. For more information on Bloom, visit www.bloomearlylearning.org.

Messiah’s Emergency Fund provides support for our neighbors in need. In November 2025, this fund was created to address the gap in SNAP benefits. Then, in December, we pivoted to care for immigrant neighbors sheltering at home. Since then we have been able to provide 125 boxes of food to 26 families! We've also provided rent and utility assistance, helping families close the gap and maintain housing stability. Your Easter Offering help ensures this ministry continues for the current need and beyond.
Give throughout the month of April, online (below) by selecting “Easter Offering,” or by mailing a check (indicate “Easter Offering” in the memo) to: Messiah Church, 17805 County Road 6, Plymouth, MN 55447.
Our goal is to collect $xxx for each of these organizations.
Gifts are distributed evenly, unless designated otherwise.
