Livestream via BroomfieldUMC.org/watch
This holy day celebrates Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem, riding on a donkey while others placed palms on the road welcoming Him with shouts of “Hosanna!” It is the beginning of Jesus’ final week as He journeys to the cross and beyond.
Community Time Sunday, 4/13 at 10:15am will include an Easter Egg hunt for kids.
Maundy (Holy) Thursday - April 17, 2025
7pm The Living Last Supper in the Sanctuary
Childcare and livestream available
Livestream via BroomfieldUMC.org/watch
The Thursday before Easter is known as either Maundy Thursday, or Holy Thursday. Maundy is derived from the Latin word for "command" and refers to Jesus' commandment to the disciples to "Love one another as I have loved you." It commemorates Jesus washing the disciples’ feet and the Last Supper with His disciples.
Good Friday - April 18, 2025
7:30pm Tenebrae Worship in the Chapel
Childcare available
“Good Friday” is the Friday before Easter, and it signifies the day Jesus was crucified. It is called “Good” because it led to the Resurrection of Jesus and His victory over sin and death.
"Tenebrae" is the Latin word meaning "darkness” or “shadows”. The service involves reading Matthew’s account of the trial, sentencing, execution, death and burial of Jesus. After each segment of the story is read, a candle is extinguished. After the eighth reading, which confirms Jesus’ death on the cross, the Christ candle is removed and a loud sound is heard, symbolizing the earthquake that happened when Jesus died. The Christ candle is later restored to its place, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil.
