On Holy Saturday, we gather around the tomb of Jesus and remind one another that God is powerful; God can do anything; God is amazing. We believe God can bring new life to any situation.
This worship service contains a variety of video stories, created by members at Church of the Cross.
Gather the biggest bowl you have in your house, enough water to fill it (Don't fill it yet!), perhaps a candle or two, and prepare to hear about God's saving acts in ways you never imagined.
Begin with the audio recording above. It will guide you through the worship service and direct you to the various story videos at the appropriate times.
Blessings and peace be with you as you worship!
Remember, God has redeemed people from all sorts of danger, trouble, and despair. God will redeem us, too!
