Holy Week
Holy Week (March 28 – April 2) is the last week of Lent. Holy Week is an intentional journey between the joyful celebrations of Palm Sunday and Easter, to focus on the suffering, humiliation and death of Jesus. To truly understand the light and hope of Easter, we must be willing to walk through the shadows and darkness of Holy Week and Good Friday.
 
We invite you on this Holy Week journey by participating in the following:
  • Morning devotions from 6:45 am until 7:30 am Monday through Friday at our Midtown location (4550 N. Illinois Street) and at the Pike YMCA on the west side (7114 Lakeview Pkwy. West Dr.) The focus of these devotions is “Evil” and “Resurrection.” 
  • Good Friday service at our Midtown location on Friday, April 2 at 6:30 pm. Limited childcare will be available for toddlers through first grade by registration only. The registration deadline is March 26. Register for childcare here.
