From the Grave to the Sky
Sermon Series

The ascension. Myth? Legend? Fabrication? Or the intended consequence of the resurrection? Perhaps even more important: What does the movement of Jesus from the grave to the sky mean for my life?

This sermon series will grapple with these questions and so much more as together we dive into the implications of our Lord’s resurrection, ascension, and ministry both in between and beyond. Are you struggling with confusion, fear, or doubt? Jesus comes alongside of those who love him. Do you need a fresh perspective on life? He wants to give you his own perspective of himself, yourself, and the world around you. Do you feel alone in your efforts to sort through the labyrinth of your circumstances? He knows firsthand what you are going through and fights on your behalf.

Easter has come and gone. So now what? As people whose lives are hidden with God in Christ, what does it mean that we have died with him, been raised with him, and have moved with him From the Grave to the Sky?

Good Friday Tenebrae Service
News

You are invited to join EMC for our Good Friday tenebrae service on April 14th, 2017 at 6pm. The word ‘tenebrae’ is Latin for shadows. The purpose of the service is to rehearse the betrayal, abandonment, and agony of the passion of Jesus Christ. It is intentionally left unfinished because the story isn’t over until Easter Sunday morning. By the reading of key passion texts of Scripture, combined with the progressive extinguishing of candles until achieving total darkness, tenebrae services recreate the emotional aspects of the passion story, therefore they are by nature somber. Experiencing the tenebrae provides participants with a poignant reminder of the cross of Christ, while preparing the heart to anticipate Easter.

Come join us for this unique service of worship in the chapel of Evangelical Methodist Church.
