The Ark | Rend Collective Live Concert
REND COLLECTIVE LIVE CONCERT
March 26 | 5:00pm - 11:00pm
$30 (before March 1)
We’re heading to a Rend Collective live concert, and it’s going to be a great night of high-energy worship and community. Rend Collective is known for their joyful, folk-style worship and songs like Build Your Kingdom Here, My Lighthouse, and Counting Every Blessing—the kind of music that makes it really hard to stand still. We’ll leave from the Ark at 5:00pm, so eat dinner before we go. We should be back at the Ark around 11:00pm.
Registration and payment must be completed on our website by March 1. If you sign up after March 1, the price increases to $35, and your spot won’t be guaranteed, as the event may sell out.
The Ark | Passover Seder
PASSOVER SEDER
Wednesday, April 1 | 5:30pm - 8:30pm
The Ark | Auditorium
Join us for a Messianic Passover Seder, where we will walk through the same meal Jesus shared with His disciples the night before His crucifixion. This interactive and meaningful evening will guide us through the traditional elements of the Seder, revealing how each part points to Jesus as our Passover Lamb. Together, we will share in the four cups of the Seder, the breaking of matzah, and a shared meal as we remember God’s deliverance of Israel from Egypt and celebrate our redemption through Christ.
This family-friendly event is open to all, and scholarships are available—don’t let cost be a barrier to attending. The cost is $10 per person or $25 per family (3 or more registered together). Come prepared for a rich evening of tradition, scripture, and worship as we remember God’s faithfulness and the ultimate fulfillment of Passover in Jesus.
Please register so we know how much food to prepare!

Let’s link arms across generations and make this school year one covered in prayer! Sign up now!
