PALM SUNDAY
APRIL 10
9:00 A.M. | SANCTUARY
11:00 A.M. | SANCTUARY & LIVESTREAM
Like those who greeted him at the city gates 2000 years ago, we welcome Jesus in triumph, waving palms to welcome him into Jerusalem—the Holy City—and then we will continue with him on his journey toward the cross.

MAUNDY THURSDAY
APRIL 14
7:30 P.M. | SANCTUARY & LIVESTREAM
The word “maundy” comes from Latin, meaning mandate or command. On this night, we celebrate Communion, the Holy meal and last supper, which Jesus shared with his disciples on the night before he died, the meal he “commanded” them to share in remembrance of him.

GOOD FRIDAY
APRIL 15
7:30 P.M. | SANCTUARY & LIVESTREAM
Experience Christ’s crucifixion through Tenebrae, a service of shadow and darkness, with Scripture readings that share Jesus’ final acts on the Cross and music from the FUMC Austin choir.
