easter celebrations
Christ is risen, he is risen indeed!
Easter is a time of celebration. 1st UMC invites you to experience the joys of this special day as together we celebrate the risen Christ.
It all begins at sunrise with a special service on the front lawn of the church where people gather to be the first hearing the "good news".
From there, the celebrations move inside for 8:15 am and 10:30 am traditional worship services filled with the sounds of an orchestra, the chancel choir and a special Easter message. Downstairs in Asbury Hall at the 10:30 Contemporary Worship service, praise God and his good news with uplifting songs and the good news that Christ is risen, he is risen indeed!

And now begins Holy Week …
On the night of Maundy Thursday at 7:00 pm we hear again the story of the foot washing and focus on the words, “I give you a new commandment.” We also remember the “Last Supper” as we gather at the table.
On Good Friday, there will not be a noonday service. You are invited to come during the hours of 9:00 am and 6:00 pm to Wesley Hall to walk through the Stations of the Cross. There will be artwork and meditations. Come whenever is convenient for you and spend as much time as you need.
On the night of Good Friday, we will meet in Asbury Hall at 7:00 for our Service of Darkness (or Tenebrae). Rev. Sarah Slack and Terry Wilson will lead us as we meditate on Psalm 22. This will be an acoustic, quiet, and reflective service.
