The Journey to Easter

March 31, 2019 By TUMC Church

Beginning with Palm Sunday, we spend Holy Week exploring the depth, meaning, and perspective of what God has done for the world through Jesus. The core of the week continues with the three-act unfolding of Easter. Act One is Maundy Thursday. Act Two is Good Friday. Act Three is the Easter morning.

This unfolding is Christ’s journey, and our Christian journey is enhanced, if not transformed, by following his footsteps day by holy day. Experiencing the entire week puts us on a common path and gives us a shared experience. Woven together through worship, we bring ourselves to Sunday and throw open the doors of hospitality to all who come to sing in Easter joy. As a community of Christians, we are made ready for resurrection by taking the journey through the cross.

Palm Sunday Worship

Sunday, April 14
8:30, 9:30, 11:00AM in Sanctuary

11:00AM in Fellowship Hall

When Jesus rode into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey, a large crowd of people hailed him as a conquering king, waving palm branches and laying their cloaks on the ground before him. At each of our Palm Sunday services, worshipers will receive palm branches to wave as we ponder together how we follow King Jesus on the road to the cross. Childcare is always available for our Sunday morning worship services.

Children are invited to meet on the Front Lawn before each service to participate in the processional waving of palm branches during worship.

Holy Week Prayer Experience

Monday, April 15
Noon–3:00PM in Fellowship Hall

Tuesday, April 16
Wednesday, April 17
11:00AM–7:00PM in Fellowship Hall

Come and go as fits your schedule to walk the labyrinth in meditation and prayer. As you journey through this self-guided prayer experience, you are invited to focus on the last week of Jesus’ life and his great sacrifice upon the cross for us.

Maundy Thursday Services

Thursday, April 18
Noon in Chapel
6:30PM in Fellowship Hall

Remember the last meal that Jesus ate with his disciples at our Maundy Thursday Services. These services will take us to the Upper Room and the Garden of Gethsemane as we journey through the last night of Jesus’ life. Childcare will be available at both services.

Good Friday Services

Friday, April 19
Noon, 7:00PM in Sanctuary

Reflect on the significance of the cross at our Good Friday Services. These experiential services will engage the whole family in an encounter with God’s grace through story and song. Our evening service will be a service of the shadows, signifying the gathering darkness that entered into the world as Jesus drew his last breath. Childcare will be available for both services.

Easter Sunday Services

Sunday, April 21
7:00, 9:30, 11:00AM in Fellowship Hall
8:30, 9:30, 11:00AM in Sanctuary

Celebrate the new life offered to all of us through Christ’s resurrection at one of our six Easter services. Begin the day with a sunrise service led by our youth, or come to our more traditional services in the Sanctuary and Fellowship Hall. Holy Communion will be offered in each of the Fellowship Hall services. Childcare is always available for our Sunday morning worship services.
