Advent 2023

Gift Exchange

Christmas is a time of giving, but so often we find ourselves receiving what we do not need and wishing for an exchange. In the arrival of Jesus in Bethlehem, God allows us to offer up the brokenness of our world and receive the wholeness of God’s presence instead. Throughout this special time of year, FUMCR will be discovering the ways God exchanges things we do not need for gifts we could never have imagined.   

We invite you to scroll through the special opportunities below, and choose some that will help you experience the season and make special memories this Christmas.

Maundy Thursday Worship

Maundy Thursday Worship

Mar 28, 7 pm, Sanctuary + Livestream

Maundy Thursday (also called Holy Thursday) is the first of the three days of solemn remembrance of the events leading up to and immediately following the crucifixion.

Childcare will be available for ages 3 and younger.

What does Maundy mean?
Maundy is derived from the Latin word "mandatum," or commandment, and refers to Jesus’ mandate to his disciples in John 13:34 to "Love one another as I have loved you."

Good Friday Worship

Good Friday Worship

Mar 29, 7 pm, Sanctuary + Livestream

Our Good Friday service will commemorate Jesus's last earthly day with scripture, special music, and pastoral message.

Childcare will be available for ages 3 and younger.

What's good about Good Friday?
“Good” Friday is likely an alteration of the Germanic word, "Goddes," meaning "God's" or "Holy." Only in English and Dutch is it called Good Friday. It is called Holy Friday in nearly all other languages in the world.
