Worship Sundays at 9:30 am in-person (sanctuary), online, or by phone, 888-650-5835.
Lent is a season of prayerful listening and faithful action. We listen for the message of Jesus and we seek to live it out any way we can. As disciples, our faith has always been in our hands, and this is our season to do something with it. This is a powerful season, as we reflect on powerful stories from the ministry of Jesus and move from the shadows of Ash Wednesday to the miracle of Easter Sunday.
HOLY WEEK WORSHIP AS RICHFIELD UMC
April 13 — Palm Sunday, in the Sanctuary at 9:30 am
Arrive early to receive a palm branch to wave during the gathering hymn processional. This service includes not only the palm procession and celebration but also preaching and a turn toward the complexities of the week ahead.
April 17 — Maundy Thursday, in the Heritage Room around tables at 7:00 pm | In-Person Only
We sing and pray together at tables remembering and re-enacting Jesus’ Last Supper with his friends, as we too wash hands and/or feet in blessing and celebrate the sacrament of Holy Communion.
April 18 — Good Friday, in the Chapel at 7:00 pm | In-Person Only
Gather close in the beauty of the chapel for a Tenebrae service of descending darkness as we stand somber witness to the falling away of friends as Jesus approaches and faces execution. Hear the story laid out in scripture and music as the silence grows and the light fades.
April 20 — Easter Sunday, in the Sanctuary at 9:30 am
Come together in the sanctuary to declare it: He is risen! Come to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus! Amazing music (bells, brass, cello, choir, organ, timpani and voice!), a confetti-filled Time with Children, an altar area becomes a garden of flowers, and inspiring preaching awaits you. This powerful worship service concludes with a congregation-wide singing of “The Hallelujah Chorus” and the perennial favorite organ piece, “The Widor Toccata.”
