Advent 2024

More Than Sunday Podcast Season 11

Mar 12 - Apr 23

This season is a companion to a church-wide Lenten study and worship series. We discuss Adam Hamilton's book, Wrestling with Doubt: Finding Faith with the author and other special guests from the FUMCR community. 

Easter Story Walk

Apr 13-18, Playground Plaza

Bring your family during Holy Week to prepare for Easter morning! Walk through the story, The Mystery of Easter, to help your children understand the events around Jesus’s resurrection. You will experience the story of Easter and gather items to help remember and retell this important day of our faith. 

Maundy Thursday Worship

Apr 17, 7pm, Worship & Arts Center + Livestream

Maundy Thursday (also called Holy Thursday) is the first of the three days of solemn remembrance of the events leading up to and immediately following the crucifixion. Join us for a special experience of Communion, music, and worship. Childcare will be available for ages 3 and younger.

A special Family Holy Week Service will be held in the Worship & Arts Center at 4:30pm. We’ll start with a short family worship time, then travel through the story of Holy Week with your very own Holy Week Passport. At each stop, fun, hands-on activities will help you experience the story in a way kids will love!

What does Maundy mean?
Maundy is derived from the Latin word "mandatum," or commandment, and refers to Jesus’ mandate to his disciples in John 13:34 to "Love one another as I have loved you."

Good Friday Worship

Apr 18, 7pm, Sanctuary + Livestream

We invite you to experience a Service of Tenebrae (darkness) to remember the final moments of Jesus’ life. The service will include Gabriel Fauré's Requiem by our Chancel Choir, leading us through the journey to the cross. Childcare will be available for ages 3 and younger.

What's good about Good Friday?
“Good” Friday is likely an alteration of the Germanic word, "Goddes," meaning "God's" or "Holy." Only in English and Dutch is it called Good Friday. It is called Holy Friday in nearly all other languages in the world.

Easter Volunteering

We'd love for you and your family to join us in serving as a greeter on Easter Sunday. A friendly smile and 25 minutes are all that is needed to make this a memorable Easter for all those who join us on campus.
