Maundy Thursday, April 2nd

Maundy Thursday is the first of the three days of solemn remembrance of the events leading up to and immediately following the crucifixion of Jesus. On the night before his betrayal and arrest, Jesus gave his disciples a new commandment: to love one another as he had loved them (John 13:34).

We honor this night with a special communion service to remember Jesus' Last Supper.

Good Friday, April 3rd

7:00 pm Sanctuary

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.
