Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday. During worship, we wave palm branches as we remember Jesus riding into Jerusalem as a king from a different kingdom.
Kids are invited to join us for processionals and wave palm branches in the 8:30 AM Chapel service or the 10:30 AM Sanctuary service.
Each Maundy Thursday, we remember Jesus' final night with his disciples and participate in the very same acts they did: foot washing, communion, prayer, and singing. A service of music, reflection, and experiential stations will begin at 6:15 PM in the Sanctuary/online.
We would love for you to join us for dinner in the Fellowship Hall prior to the service from 5:00-6:00 PM. Cost is $13/adults, $7/kids.
Childcare on Maundy Thursday
This service is kid friendly and nursery care will be available for 3 and under during the service. A family room is located off the narthex with rocking chairs and a changing table.
This Good Friday we are joining in an ecumenical community worship service with Gordon Memorial UMC, West End UMC, Iglesia Metodista Ebenezer, McKendree UMC, Christ Church Cathedral, Music City West, and Lillian Chapel.
The service is organized around the 7 last words of Jesus and features liturgical offerings from each church in addition to short reflections from each pastor.
Worship will begin at 6 PM at Gordon Memorial UMC at 2334 Herman St, Nashville, TN 37208 and will be live streamed for those who want to attend virtually. The service is typically 2 hours in length.
There will be a light reception and time of fellowship prior to the service at 5:00 PM.
On Easter morning, we have three worship service opportunities!
At 6:30 AM, we have a beautiful sunrise communion service in the narthex of the Sanctuary. The rising sun, stillness of the morning, and quietness of the space create a meaningful worship.
At 8:30 AM and 10:30 AM, we have identical services in the Sanctuary and online featuring the Belle Meade Choir, timpani, organ, brass, and robust hymn singing. These are upbeat services full of energy.
At 9:30 AM, we will have coffee and donuts on the front lawn for a time of fellowship!
Your children are always welcome as their full selves in worship. During the 8:30 AM and 10:30 AM services, nursery care is available for children 6 weeks - 3 years. Children’s church for kids 3 years - 1st grade is also available following the children’s message in worship. The children who leave for Children's Church will return to the Sanctuary following the sermon to participate in the closing of worship. A family room is located off the narthex with rocking chairs and a changing table.
