Holy Week at Christ First UMC

Join us as we remember Jesus’ death and celebrate his resurrection!

Maundy Thursday Cantata - Thursday April 2, 2026 6:00pm Watch on YouTube

Come to Christ First United Methodist Church for the story of Holy Week and Easter in song. “Come to the Cross and Remember” is a cantata about Christ's journey to the cross with images of Jesus’ love for us: the Palms, the Cup and the Bread, the Nails, the Crown of Thorns, and more. 

Experience the journey illumined by the haunting Go to Dark Gethsemane, the spine-tingling Judas, the mournful Surely He Has Borne Our Griefs, the transportive You Will Be with Me in Paradise, and the majestic Every Knee Should Bow. 

On this Maundy Thursday night, we will then celebrate communion, the meal Jesus shared with his disciples the night before he was crucified. The table is open to all. Everyone is welcome at Christ’s table.
