Easter | 9:00 Classic Worship

  • First United Methodist Church 219 East 4th Street Bloomington, IN, 47408 United States (map)

Easter Sunday, April 17 | 9:00am | Sanctuary

Classic Worship is our traditional hybrid (in-person and live-streamed) service in our historic Sanctuary. This service normally takes place at 9:30am but will begin at 9:00am on Easter Sunday, April 17. There will also be Communion in the Columbarium at 10:30am and a second identical Classic Worship service at 11:00am in the Sanctuary.

Last year, the Schubert-Nowling family was obsessed with the swarms of Brood X cicadas that droned like jet engines and cast their shells everywhere. The empty tomb of Jesus is like the cicada shell with the slit down its back. The living being that had once been inside is gone. The Risen Jesus has outgrown his tomb. He’s among the living, with people to see and things to do. He appears four more times in John’s Gospel, each time helping people to have real-life encounters with their Risen Savior. Each time we encounter him, we become wiser, kinder, and more daring, and hopefully, more like him.
