Holy Week

Palm Sunday Brunch - March 29th after the Worship Service
Palm Sunday Potluck, Ham will be provided. Please bring a side dish, salad or dessert to serve 10.

*April 2, Maundy Thursday Soup and service in Waddill Hall at 6:00 pm
During holy week, we will journey from the table of grace to the cross, drawing us into Jesus’ path of suffering, service, and stubborn love that will not let us go. On Maundy Thursday, we will share a simple dinner service in the fellowship hall, gathering around the table to remember Jesus’ last supper with his friends, his washing of feet, and his command to love one another as he has loved us. As we eat, pray, and listen to Scripture, we will encounter the story of love in new and different ways.

*April 3, Good Friday Service at 7:00pm
During holy week, we will journey from the table of grace to the cross, drawing us into Jesus’ path of suffering, service, and stubborn love that will not let us go. On Good Friday, we continue this journey, moving with Jesus through betrayal, injustice, and the weight of the world’s pain. In a quiet, contemplative tenebrae service, we will hear the passion story, encounter the cross of Christ, and carry home reminder of God's love as we wait in the stillness for the hope of Easter morning.

Easter
April 5, 2026 at 9:30
Easter Sunday invites us to rejoice at the end of the road we’ve been walking with Jesus and to begin a new one. From the shadows of the cross, we arrive at an empty tomb and a risen Christ who meets us on The Way with resurrection hope. In this celebratory service, surrounded by music, Scripture, and gathered community, we’ll proclaim that love is stronger than death, that nothing can separate us from the grace of God, and that Christ now walks beside us as we continue our journey into a future made new.

Current Monthly Mission

March's Mission focus is UMCOR

For more than 80 years, the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) has alleviated the suffering of individuals, families and communities affected by both natural and humanmade disaster.

UMCOR journeys with communities throughout a disaster’s cycle. It focuses on disasters that overwhelm a local community’s ability to respond, such as storms and flooding, earthquakes, fires, volcanoes, war and civil unrest.
Through a strong network of worldwide partners, UMCOR quickly assesses needs in the wake of disaster. UMCOR comes alongside communities at their invitation and encourages their involvement in and ownership of their recovery. UMCOR works collaboratively with local partners to connect survivors to the help they need to rebuild their lives.
From initial relief efforts such as distributing food, water, clothing and hygiene items, to long-term recovery projects like home repair, case management, psychosocial support and restoring livelihoods, UMCOR’s partners select beneficiaries based on need and vulnerability as opposed to other categories such as gender, race or religion.
In 2024 and 2025, UMCOR provided US relief with the Northwest and Los Angeles wild fires, hurricanes Helene, Ernesto, Debby, and Beryl, as well as flood and tornado recovery in Missouri and North Georgia. UMCOR has additionally provided disaster relief in the Philippians and Africa.
UMCOR’s ministry would not be possible without the support of others who give generously of their time and resources. Donations to UMCOR allow them to respond quickly and effectively to disasters as they arise. Your gifts this month will help underwrite UMCOR’s administrative and operating costs. This offering allows UMCOR to use 100% of all funds given to humanitarian response and recovery efforts directly to communities in need.
Together, we can alleviate the suffering of those affected by disaster, bringing hope and healing to communities worldwide.

On March 15th we will have a "Hands on Mission” putting together children's Comfort Kits.

Often, the children spend hours sitting in a hospital, police station, courtroom or come into Tessa with nothing. These kits will offer them things to do during these long waiting times. The kits cost $5 each and will include mini-coloring books, crayons, a squishy toy, mini-playdough, a finger puppet and a mini-story book.

If you would like to donate to buy "Comfort Kits" please include the words Comfort Kit in the memo line of your check, on your envelope or designate the account for your online giving. Thank You in advance for your generosity in giving these kids a touch of normalcy in their lives.
