To be formed like Christ we must travel with him the whole way. westlake-umc.org/easter Maundy Thursday at 7:00 PM - Join us for a special Holy Week Pilgrimage. The journey begins with light Mediterranean fare in our gym. As we travel to the sanctuary we will celebrate Holy Communion and reaffirm our Baptism as we remember God’s story of redemption through song, scripture readings, prayer and ritual. Good Friday at 7:00 PM - Experience Gabriel Faure’s Requiem, performed by The WUMC Chancel Choir and Chamber Orchestra. Interactive altars will be setup in the narthex. Easter Sunday at 9:00, 10:15 & 11:15 AM - We invite you to celebrate Easter at one of three worship services on Sunday morning. Join us at 9:00 AM in the worship center for our contemporary service. Children First!, a worship service designed especially for families with young children, begins at 10:15 in the Gym. Our traditional Easter service is at 11:15 in the worship center. We can’t climb out of the water and hike down and around the most turbulent chunk of the river. If we would be shaped by the love of Christ we must follow him through the rapids. Our Lenten journey takes a turbulent twist beginning on Palm Sunday that carries us through Maundy Thursday and Good Friday before we can arrive at Easter Sunday. Without the full experience of Christ’s suffering and death it’s impossible to fully experience the joy of his resurrection. So be here. Dare to brave the harsh and turbulent waters that flow into Jerusalem, drifts through an Upper Room, languors in the Garden of Gethsemane, only to rush into the houses of politics and religion that compel Jesus to stumble along the path that leads him to Golgotha…cross in tow.
