Celebrate Easter With Us

The Easter season is an opportunity to encounter Hope, Peace, Love, and Joy. This year we explore how Jesus is seen in different ways in, “Who do you say I am?”

Easter Egg Hunt at 10:40 am
Our Easter service is filled with joy and music. Organ, orchestra, and choir will lead us in hymns and special music. The sermon offers a relatable look at what the Easter Story means for our everyday lives. Children’s Time includes a visit from one of our puppets and we conclude the service with the Hallelujah Chorus.
Whether you worship regularly or attend on the holidays, First United Methodist Church’s Easter services are a meaningful and engaging way to celebrate life.
And what is Easter morning without an Easter Egg hunt?!? We invite you to join us as the children hunt for eggs in-between morning worship services at 10:40 am. And we won’t just load your kids up on chocolate- we also throw in some healthier surprises.
We can't wait to have you join us!
