Hey Watermark, Easter weekend at Watermark is right around the corner and we want to celebrate with you.

We're hosting a good Friday service on Friday, April 18th at 12 p.m.

And we will offer four Easter services this year on Saturday, April 19th at 3 and 5 p.m.

And on Sunday, April 20th at 9 and 1115 a.m.
