United Methodist celebrates Holy Week

March 26, 2013
The congregation at United Methodist Church, located at Lincoln and Denver Streets in Bonners Ferry, began their Holy Week celebrations with a palm processional last Sunday, but they have several more special services on tap through Easter Sunday.

A simple remembrance of Jesus' last Passover night with his disciples takes place at 7 p.m. on Holy Thursday, March 28. On Good Friday, March 29, they'll observe the Stations of the Cross, also at 7 p.m., remembering the last days of Jesus' life. As this is a powerful and dramatic service, it's not recommended that young children attend.

The first service of Easter takes place at 7 a.m., with a community Easter celebration on the parsonage lawn, 6706 Denver Street, which is just up the hill behind the church.

A potluck breakfast will follow in the Fellowship Hall, and after that, kids will set out on an Easter egg hunt.

Easter Sunday services will begin at 10:15 a.m., with the combined band and choir leading in traditional and contemporary hymns. A special Easter coffee hour will follow the service.
