MEANING OF EASTER

Palm Sunday commemorates Jesus Christ’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem, an event mentioned in the four Gospels - Matthew 21:1-11, Mark 11:1-11, Luke 19:28-44, John 12:12-13.

 

As Jesus rode into the city on a donkey, the crowd waved palm branches to greet and honor Him. These palm branches symbolized His arrival in peace rather than as a war-waging king arriving on a horse.

 

At APC we celebrate Palm Sunday by distributing palm branches to the congregation prior to our worship service together.

The Last Supper is the final meal Jesus shared with his disciples in Jerusalem before his crucifixion. Christians cemmemorated this on Holy Thursday, also known as Maundy Thursday. The Last Supper provides the scriptural basis for "Holy Communion."

 

At APC we commemorate Maundy Thursday (the Last Supper) we will fellowship with a meal while we worship together. Please register for the potluck meal!

The Easter Egg symbolizes new life and rebirth. The hard shell of the egg represents the sealed Tomb of Christ and the cracking the shell symbolizes Jesus’ resurrection from the dead.

 

At APC we celebrate the new life and rebirth granted from Jesus’ death through an Easter Egg Hunt & Potluck Breakfast. The Easter bunny will making an appearance this year! Be sure to register in the Welcome Center!

Easter celebrates Jesus’ resurrection of Jesus Christ from the tomb, occurring three days after His crucifixion. This event fulfills the prophecy of the Messiah’s persecution, death for our sins, and resurrection, as foretold in Isaiah 53.  Without Jesus’ suffering we have no hope for a future resurrection.

 

At APC we celebrate and declare the good news during two worship services. Following the second service there will be an Easter fellowship time together.
