HOLY WEEK EVENTS

Holy week begins with Palm Sunday and ends with Easter.

Please consider joining us for our Holy Thursday and Good Friday worship services. Both of these servies are at 6:30 pm in our sanctuary.

The Holy Thursday service is a communion service held in remembrance of Jesus' Last Supper. Maundy Thursday is an alternate name for Holy Thursday, the first of the three days of solemn remembrance of the events leading up to and immediately following the crucifixion of Jesus.

In the United Methodist tradition, the FUMC Good Friday service is a solemn occasion focusing on prayer, reflection, and remembering Christ's crucifixion and suffering.

What does a Typical Service Look Like?

Traditional Worship at FUMC includes congregational singing from the Methodist Hymnal and performances from the piano, organ, choir, and wind ensemble. We also use the Methodist liturgy, or order of worship.

Our Modern Service includes a live contemporary Christian music band and maybe some children dancing up front. The Modern Worship also has a more casual order of worship than the traditional service. The Modern Service has people of all ages, but it's especially popular with young families.

How do I join a small group?

Our adult Sunday school classes meet every Sunday from 9:45 to 10:45 am. You can find out more about each class on our Small groups page. If you would like a recommendation for a group to try, please reach out to our Associate Pastor, Rev. Val Stewart.

What do I wear?

Each service has its own personality. Folks attending our traditional worship usually dress in their "church clothes" ranging from business casual to Sunday best.

Our modern worship service is more casual and you'll see folks in shorts. We welcome you to come as you are!
