This event is for special needs children only, ages 0 - 13.
As we approach Holy Week, Palm Sunday marks the beginning of a week that is both joyful and solemn.
On April 13, 2025, Northridge United Methodist Church will kick- off Holy Week with a Church Breakfast. Come and enjoy mini pancakes, sausage and more!
The breakfast will be followed by a special service that includes the Choir and Handbell Choir offering a piece together entitled “Palm Sunday Processional,” with the waving of palm branches in remembrance of Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem.
The service will begin with the reading of Zechariah 9:9, which describes the procession of the king into the city. This will be followed by the Gospel reading, taken from Luke 19:28-42, which recounts Jesus' entry into Jerusalem on a donkey, while crowds of people welcomed him by waving palm branches and laying their coats on the ground.
During the service, Pastor Karen Crawford will deliver a message titled "The Coming King," reflecting on the lengths that Jesus went to redeem us. The message will inspire us to reflect on our own spiritual journeys and consider how we can create meaningful memories that honor our faith.
Join us on Palm Sunday at Northridge UMC as we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, and begin our journey towards the Cross and Resurrection. All are welcome to attend this special service and experience the joy and solemnity of this holy week.
Join us on April 17, 2025, for Maundy Thursday as we remember the last supper of Jesus Christ with his disciples.
Maundy Thursday is a significant day in the Christian calendar, marking the night of the Last Supper, where Jesus gathered with his disciples to share a final meal before his crucifixion. In honor of this sacred event, Northridge United Methodist Church will be holding a service on April 17th. The service will feature reader’s theater of the Disciples around the table in the Upper Room.
Come and reflect on the meaning of Jesus' sacrifice and the lessons we can learn from his life. Please join us for this special evening service as we remember the events of this historic night.
Join us for a solemn and reflective service as we observe Good Friday on April 18, 2025. Pastor Karen Crawford will be leading a Tenebrae service of the extinguishing of the lights as we hear read and sing about the last 7 Words of Christ upon the Cross.
This powerful service reminds us of the sacrifice that Jesus made for us and the immense love that He has for us.
As we come together in scripture reading, prayer, and song, we will also have moments of quiet centering, allowing us to reflect on our own shortcomings and seek forgiveness.
The service will culminate with a benediction and we will depart in silence, carrying the weight of this solemn occasion with us until we meet on Resurrection Sunday to worship together.
Do you ever wonder what it was really like to be at the Passion of Jesus? The Stations of the Cross is one of the simplest, yet powerful, ways to prayerfully walk alongside Jesus and encounter Him like never before.
There are fifteen Stations of the Cross. Each is an invitation to contemplate and experience a pivotal moment from Jesus’ sentencing to His burial, and then to His Resurrection! They are a powerful way to step into some of the most significant moments in human history and encounter Jesus like never before!
For over 1000 years, Christians have been devoted to praying the Stations of the Cross. And for over 1000 years, this deep spiritual exercise has been transforming lives. Dive into this ancient and powerful meditation on the sacrifice of Jesus and it will change your life too!
How Many Stations of the Cross Are There?
You will experience fifteen Stations of the Cross. Each station represents a different moment in Jesus’ Passion and Death: Jesus is Condemned to Death, Jesus Carries the Cross, Jesus Falls for the First Time, Jesus Meets His Mother, Simon Helps Jesus Carry His Cross, Veronica Wipes the Face of Jesus, Jesus Falls a Second Time, Jesus Meets the Women of Jerusalem, Jesus Falls a Third Time, Jesus is Stripped of His Garments, Jesus is Nailed to the Cross, Jesus Dies on the Cross, Jesus’ Body is Removed from the Cross, Jesus is Laid in the Tomb, Jesus is Resurrected
Walk and read at your own pace. Sit in a pew and pray. Walk through it once quickly and then go back to certain stations you want to reflect on more…the beauty of this Spiritual Discipline, is that you make it what you want it to be for you.
There will be quiet music playing, but other than that, the walk is in silence, so that we are respectful of anyone else in the sanctuary while we are walking.
Come and be blessed in this sacred journey!
Come and try it out this Holy Week!
