In the United Methodist Church (UMC), Holy Week is a week of observances and services commemorating Jesus’ suffering and death, and to prepare for the celebration of Easter Sunday, when Christians celebrate Jesus’ resurrection

Holy Week events

Palm Sunday: A day of worship that commemorates Jesus’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem. It’s also known as Passion Sunday.

Spy Wednesday: In the Methodist tradition, Spy Wednesday is a day of meditation and prayer that commemorates Judas’ betrayal of Jesus. The day is also known as Holy Wednesday.

Maundy Thursday: Maundy Thursday commemorates Jesus’ Last Supper, including the foot washing and institution of the Eucharist, emphasizing service and love.

Good Friday: Good Friday is a day of prayer and reflection on the crucifixion of Jesus.

The fifth Sunday of Lent in the United Methodist Church (UMC) is a time to reflect on the death of a loved one, and to consider how to find hope and transformation in God. It’s also the beginning of Passiontide, a deeper time of Lent.

The “Fourth Sunday of Lent” is also known as “Laetare Sunday,” which means “Rejoice” in Latin, signifying a day of slightly more joyful celebration during the otherwise penitential season of Lent, marking the halfway point between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday.

The “Third Sunday of Lent” marks the middle point of the Lenten season, often focusing on the story of Jesus encountering

the Samaritan woman at the well, serving as a reminder to reflect on our own spiritual thirst and need for renewal,

while also highlighting the importance of reaching out to others with God’s love.

It’s often considered a time to re-evaluate one’s faith and commitment to living a Christian life.

In the United Methodist Church (UMC), the “Second Sunday of Lent” signifies the Sunday during the Lenten season where the focus is on the biblical story of Jesus’ Transfiguration, typically read from the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, or Luke, highlighting Jesus’ divine glory and serving as a glimpse of his future resurrection.

Quadragesima Sunday is the first Sunday in Lent, occurring after Ash Wednesday.
The term Quadragesima is derived from the Latin word for “fortieth”, as there are exactly forty days from Quadragesima Sunday until Good Friday.

Lord God Almighty, in whose name the founders of this country won liberty for themselves and for us and lit the torch of freedom for our new nation. Grant that we and all the people of this land may have the grace to maintain our liberties in righteousness and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Trinity Sunday is celebrated on the Sunday after Pentecost, reminding us of the three different ways we experience the one God whom we worship. We worship God the Creator; we worship Jesus who experienced the life of a human; and we worship the way that God works within us – the Holy Spirit.

Our Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God; And yet they are not three Gods, but one God. Praise be to God.

Luke 24:1-7

This Sunday we celebrate Easter in praise and adoration of the risen Christ.

We celebrate Easter with heartfelt thanks to our risen Lord and Savior and share his love and peace with others.

Our joyful voices ring out in praise; Jesus’ words of forgiveness from the cross remind us that we, too, are forgiven.

We hope to see you this coming Sunday.

Blessings your way.
