Good Friday three-hour service: Noon to 3 p.m. (Church).
This service commemorating the passion and death of Jesus includes the rector and members of the clergy staff offering five meditations on the meaning of the crucifixion in our own time. Each meditation is part of a fabric of worship and reflection that includes hymns, scripture, prayers and silence.

Signs and parking attendants will direct you.

Stations of the Cross – A Journey Through Pasadena: 6:00 p.m. (Quad Lawn)
We journey through Pasadena and recreate events that encompassed Jesus’ journey carrying his cross from the Hall of Pilate where he was condemned to death to the site of his execution on Golgotha, reflecting, and praying at each station. This is a Bilingual Spanish/English service.

Tenebrae — God in the Darkness — 7:30 p.m. (Church) This ancient candlelight service commemorates the somber in-between-time of waiting, offering an opportunity to grieve Jesus’ death and sense a glimmer of hope of the resurrection. Coventry Choir Renaissance Singers offer music of Croce, Handl and Franco. Parking is available at Plaza Las Fuentes.

First United Methodist Church

Good Friday – April 3, 7:00pm
The disciples thought this was the end. They had no idea what was to come. We enter into the pain and sorrow of their experience as we acknowledge that which is dead in our own lives; giving voice to our own betrayals, denials and desertions of one another and of the Holy. Our Chancel Choir and Orchestra will guide us through this Service of Shadows. It ends in utter silence as we go out into the night mindful of the magnitude of this night.

Easter Sunday – April 5
9:00am: Easter Family Celebration – Families and children are invited to come to the Colorado Blvd. Patio this morning for a faith-filled time of breakfast, bible stories and crafts as we celebrate Easter. Come and go as you need to for choir rehearsals.

10:00am: Easter Worship Celebration – We gather in join and jubilation as the great good news that hope is stronger than despair, forgiveness more powerful than hatred, love greater than fear and life will overcome death. Join as we reclaim our ‘Alleluias’ and celebrate the abundance of God’s never-ending love.
