LENT & HOLY WEEK SERVICES

Holy Thursday Service
On Holy Thursday, March 29th, Forest Park United Methodist Church invites its congregation to a deeply meaningful service at 6:30 pm within the tranquil setting of the Chapel.

As dusk descends and the solemnity of the evening settles, worshippers gather to reflect upon the profound significance of Maundy Thursday. With reverence and humility, attendees embark on a spiritual journey, commemorating Jesus Christ's Last Supper with his disciples and the poignant moments preceding his crucifixion. Through scripture readings, meditative hymns, and symbolic rituals, the service invites participants to engage in contemplation and self-examination, embracing the solemnity of the occasion. Amidst the flickering candlelight and the gentle strains of music, the congregation is united in prayer, drawing strength and solace from their shared faith. This service offers a sacred opportunity for individuals to deepen their connection with the divine and to reaffirm their commitment to embodying Christ's love and teachings in their lives.

Easter Sunday Services
On Easter Sunday, March 31st, Forest Park United Methodist Church eagerly prepares to welcome worshippers to two special services that celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The day begins with Traditional Worship at 9:30 am, offering a timeless and reverent atmosphere where hymns of praise and scripture readings retell the story of Christ's triumph over death. As the congregation gathers in unity, the sanctuary is adorned with lilies and symbols of new life, evoking a sense of awe and wonder.

Following this, at 10:45 am, Contemporary Worship provides a dynamic and engaging experience, blending modern music and heartfelt messages to resonate with worshippers of all ages. With vibrant worship songs and relevant teachings, this service embraces the spirit of renewal and hope that Easter embodies.

Both services offer a sacred space for individuals and families to rejoice in the resurrection and to renew their commitment to living out the transformative message of Easter throughout the year.
