Good Friday service, March 29th at 7pm

at Truckee Lutheran Presbyterian Church (11662 Hope Court, Truckee)

Good Friday is considered one of the most solemn days in the Christian calendar, as it marks the sacrifice of Jesus for the redemption of humanity's sins. Despite its somber nature, it is also called "Good" because it is believed to be the day when Jesus' crucifixion led to the eventual victory of life over death through his resurrection on Easter Sunday.

Please note, it's going to be a joint service of Church of the Mountains congregation and Truckee Lutheran Presbyterian Church congregation at the TLPC location (11662 Hope Court, Truckee).

We are hoping for a good representation from our congregation!
