Holy Week is a special time in the life of the church. Throughout these days we will have the opportunity to celebrate the high of Palm Sunday through the somber moments of Good Friday. Then, on Easter Sunday, we will rejoice again in the Resurrection of our Lord. We hope that you will make plans to be part of each of these special opportunities to deepen your faith as we move through this very holy time.

Palm Sunday: Sunday, April 10, is a big day for our church. In the morning we will remember Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem with our children of all ages processing through the aisles of our Sanctuary. Then in the afternoon we will host children from across our area at Sealy’s P&BW Park for our annual Eggstravaganza!

Good Friday: Our Good Friday Service of Darkness will begin at 7:30 pm on Friday, April 15, before sundown. We will gather with singing and prayer, and then we will read and sing our way with Jesus from the Garden of Gethsemane to the garden tomb. Along the way our young people will strip our chancel area of all decorations and we will dim our lights. We will leave in silence and darkness with our Lord buried in his tomb.

Easter Sunday: This joyous day begins with the 80th Annual Easter Sunrise Service at Stephen F. Austin Monument Park on FM1485 in San Felipe at 7 am. In case of inclement weather, the service will be held inside the San Felipe United Methodist Church. We will continue our worship with a Service of Holy Communion in our Sanctuary at 10 am.
