Reflect, Repent, and be RENEWED!

Lent and Easter at Aldersgate United Methodist Church

Hope and healing can be found in the reflection and repentance of Lent as we prepare ourselves for the wonder of the Resurrection. Come and experience the good news of resurrection this Easter with us.

Reflect, Repent, and be RENEWED!

Come and See About Jesus, Our Savior

At Aldersgate United Methodist Church, we invite you to join with our community in self-reflection, find hope and healing in a renewed relationship with God, study and learn about Jesus’ journey to the cross, and realize the RENEWAL that is available to all through faith, love, and mercy.

Gather at the Table

Maundy Thursday

Maundy Thursday, also known as Holy Thursday, remembers the Last Supper as Jesus broke bread and shared wine with his disciples before his betrayal and arrest. We remember Jesus’s love and grace for all. There will be prayer, anointing, soft music, and sharing communion. Maundy Thursday worship takes place April 2nd in Aldersgate’s Meinhart Fellowship Hall at 7pm. Communion is open to all, regardless of denomination or belief. Simply come. All are welcome.
