Walk Through Holy Week with Prospect UMC!

As the Holy Season of Lent comes to a close, end your journey by joining Prospect UMC for special services and opportunities for fellowship throughout Holy Week.

The celebration will begin during worship on Palm Sunday (April 13) by remembering Christ's triumphant arrival to Jerusalem through a Parade of Palms and Gifts. Two special worship services — held at 7:00 PM — will recount the events of Maundy Thursday (April 17) and Good Friday (April 18).

Then, on Easter Sunday (April 20), we will rejoice in the risen Christ at a Sunrise Service at 7:00 AM and Easter Service at 9:00 AM. All also are invited to join us for an Easter Breakfast following the early service before gathering for an Easter Egg Hunt at 9:00 AM.

Interested in Participating in the Youth Summer Canoe Trip?

A summer canoe trip to Voyageurs National Park in Minnesota is being planned for July 12–19. Interested individuals should email Lisa for more information or to reserve a spot.

Spots will be filled first by collage-age young adults, high school youth, and junior high students who have an adult accompanying them. Any remaining spots will be open to all members.

 According to the Voyageurs website, the park "is a mosaic of land and water, a place of interconnected waterways that flow west, and eventually north as part of the arctic watershed of Hudson's Bay. It's a place of transition, between upland and aquatic ecosystems, southern boreal and northern hardwoods forest types, and both wild and developed areas."
