Tenebrae
good friday service
Join us for Tenebrae, a powerful and unique Good Friday service that helps us step into the weight of Jesus’ sacrifice. Tenebrae means “the darkening,” and throughout the night, we’ll walk through the story of the cross with dramatic elements, moving music, and heartfelt monologues. As the light fades, we’ll reflect on the incredible love that led Jesus to give everything for us. This is a night to pause, remember, and sit in the gravity of what He has done—so that we can fully embrace the hope of Easter.
This year we will be having TWO Tenebrae services. One at 5:30pm and one at 7pm - Childcare for ages 0-8 years old will be available at the 5:30pm service. All others are encouraged to join and experience Tenebrae! Please register for which service you will be attending here!
Egg hunt party
Join us for the ultimate Egg Hunt Party—a free, family-friendly event packed with fun! Kids and teens (ages 0-18) can enjoy exciting egg hunts, games, crafts, snacks, and plenty of candy. Plus, don’t miss the chance to win amazing gift baskets donated by our generous community! This is the perfect way to celebrate Easter, connect with other families, and make lasting memories. Everyone is welcome, so bring your crew and let’s have a blast!
We will have different egg hunts for each age group to ensure that every child has a fun experience and gets plenty of candy and eggs! Have more than one child? We will space the egg hunts out by about 10 minutes so that you can watch or help each child at a different time. Egg hunts will start promptly at 11am so make sure to get there by 10:45am to get your child to the right location before their hunt starts!
All children welcome to participate in a hunt, 0-18!
(We have a special twist for our older, youth aged students.)
Bring your own Easter basket, or there will be extras for you available if you don't have one!
Parking available on both sides of the church, and additional parking available at the Mountainview School further down Hendrickson Ave. We recommend that you try to get here between 10:30-10:45am, in case you need to park further away! We don't want you to miss your child's egg hunt time window!
We will be outside hunting for eggs, rain or shine! In case of rain, we will have tents set up for you to stand under while watching your child or while waiting for their turn. The egg hunts will only last about 20-30 minutes outside, then we will have most activities indoors. That being said, please dress your child appropriately! Bring coats and boots, April in the PNW is always unpredictable! The big field with majority of the eggs can get muddy.
Would you like to partner with us on this event? We need volunteers, candy, plastic eggs, and donation baskets! Email csteele@wnla.church to get connected.

Here is an intro to our children's programs:
Nursery-age children are welcome to be dropped off by a parent at the start of service. The nursery is located in the kids hallways. Please make sure to check in your child with our self-check stations in the foyer! All parents are required to show their matching sticker to pick up their child. There also is a space available for nursing mothers or moms with small children that still would like to watch the service.
Seedlings are welcome to be dropped off by their parent at the start of service. The Seedlings classroom is located in the front hallway with the large windows on your way to the gym. Please make sure to check in your child with our self-check stations in the foyer or in the Seedlings hallway! All parents are required to show their matching sticker to pick up their child.
WNLA Kids will stay in the sanctuary during worship, then be dismissed to the foyer to be led to their classroom with their teachers. When picking up your child, their classroom is in the back hallway on the way to the gym. Please make sure to check in your child with our self-check stations in the foyer or in the Seedlings hallway before service! All parents are required to show their matching sticker to pick up their child.
