You are invited to join with University Christian Church as we draw near to God during the holiest of weeks — as we wave palms in jubilation on Palm Sunday; as God gathers us around the Table and Jesus shows us how to love one another on Maundy Thursday; as we grieve Christ’s death on Good Friday; and as we celebrate the empty tomb on Easter Sunday. Read on for details about each service and opportunities for prayer and fellowship.
Palm Sunday, April 10
Worship, 10:50 a.m. in-person and online
On this day, we will begin Holy Week together by remembering Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem.
Maundy Thursday, April 14
Worship, 7:00 p.m. in-person and online
During this evening service of remembrance, prayer, and love, Jesus’ commandment to love one another will be the focus. Join us for this simple service of scripture, music, and Communion.
Before and after the service, you may choose to visit the prayer stations in the narthex and the sanctuary.
The chapel will also be open for silent prayer and meditation.
Good Friday, April 15
Worship, 12:00 p.m. Online only; email us for the Zoom link. You may also watch the service on our Facebook page.
Through prayer and sharing the story of Jesus’ arrest, crucifixion, and burial, we will give space to grief, sorrow, and loss.
The chapel will be open for silent prayer and meditation from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. this day. There will be some prayer resources available on the back pew.
Easter Sunday, April 17
Potluck Breakfast, 9:30 a.m.
Please email us to RSVP and, if you’d like, to sign up to bring a dish.
Easter Egg Hunt
This will take place immediately after the breakfast. All kids are welcome!
Worship, 10:50 a.m.
We will rejoice that Christ is risen! Come participate in this festive service that will include special music and beautiful altar flowers (note: there will be no lilies in the sanctuary, partly to be loving to those with lily allergies).
Coffee Fellowship, after worship
All are invited to enjoy coffee in the courtyard after the service.
The floral cross will be outside. You may choose to bring freshly-cut flowers to add to the cross before or after the service. The floral cross makes for a particularly pretty photo opportunity for your Easter pictures!
