There will only be one worship service offered at 10:00 a.m. in the Sanctuary.


Maundy Thursday Dinner and Worship: Thursday, April 2nd. 7:30 p.m. in Friendship Hall

On this day, we remember Jesus sharing the Last Supper with his disciples, washing their feet, and giving them the commandment to “love one another as I have loved you” (John 13:34). During worship we will hear and see the story anew.  Participants will have the opportunity to wash one another’s hands and share the Lord’s Supper with one another gathered around community tables. Worship will end in silence as we prepare to enter Good Friday.  The service will be in-person only and not live-streamed. 


Good Friday Passion Walk: Friday, April 3rd. Two sessions: 7:00 to 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 to 4:00 p.m. Both sessions are in Grace Chapel.

For the third year in a row, we are continuing the FRC Passion Walk! On Good Friday, Grace Chapel will be set up with a self-guided meditation walk through the story of Christ’s Passion, complete with different stations of reflective art, interactive and sensory prayer prompts, and meditative music. Come anytime from 7:00-9:00 a.m. or from 12:00-4:00 p.m. on Good Friday to spend some time entering into the story of Jesus’ amazing love in this immersive experience. This is a great opportunity to enter the story and is accessible to children and adults alike.


Good Friday Ecumenical Service: Friday, April 3rd. 7:30 p.m. at First Reformed Church of Pompton Plains.

This Good Friday, we will join with other local Reformed Churches to remember the story of God’s amazing love. The worship service will be held here at First Reformed Church of Pompton Plains. We will be joined by Preakness Reformed, Pompton Reformed, Ponds Reformed, and Pequannock Reformed churches. A joint choir from the participating churches will help lead worship. Join us as we experience the darkness of Good Friday, making our hearts ready for the light and resurrection of Easter.
