Holy Week at AHUMC

You're invited to join us on a journey that begins with the triumphant entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, continues with the Journey to the Cross, Maundy Thursday, and Good Friday, and concludes with a celebration of the resurrection on Easter Sunday.

 

We hope everyone takes time throughout the week to commemorate the significance of these events, recognizing that we can only get from Palm Sunday to Easter by walking through everything the week holds.

EASTER FLOWERS

Order now until March 22nd

 

Each year we adorn the Sanctuary and the Christian Life Center (CLC) with Easter flowers. Plants and flowers in our worship spaces are not included in the yearly budget, so we rely on your generosity to provide them. 

 

Flowers can be given in memory or in honor of a beloved family member or friend. Envelopes for giving will be available at the reception desk, at the entrances of the Sanctuary and the CLC, and in the pews of the Sanctuary.

 

Completed envelopes can be put in the offering plates on Sunday, or left with the receptionist during the week, or mailed to Leah Jayne at the church.
