Holy Week is a sacred time within the Christian year and KUMC is offering additional opportunities to worship.
Maundy Thursday: Join us Thursday March 24th at 6:30pm for a service focusing on the servanthood of Jesus. The title “Maundy Thursday” gets its name from the “new commandment” (mandatum novum in Latin) that Jesus gives in John 13:34 (mandatum novum in Latin). On this night Christians commemorate the supper Jesus shared with his disciples before his crucifixion, when Jesus washed the disciples’ feet and instituted the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper. The service will include a light meal.
Good Friday: Join us Friday March 25th at 7:00pm for a service focusing on the seven last words of Jesus. Good Friday is the starkest day in the Christian year. We focus intently on the Passion: the suffering, desolation, and death of Jesus. The altar is bare, and the candles which represent the light of Christ are slowly extinguished throughout the service.
Easter: Join us Sunday March 27th for Easter in which we celebrate with joy the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ! Matthew 28:6 says, “He is not here; he is risen, just as he said.” On Easter, we celebrate and worship a risen Lord who has conquered death to reconcile humanity with God.
Service times are:
6:30 am: Sunrise Service at Carnegie Lake with Kingston Presbyterian Church; followed by a breakfast at KPC.
9:00am and 11am: Services at Kingston United Methodist
We look forward to worshipping together this Holy Week.
