On Holy Thursday, step into the Labyrinth as we remember Jesus’ commandment to love one another. In the soft quiet of this evening, walk with intention, reflecting on humility, service, and the courage it takes to live love in action. May this walk prepare our hearts to follow Christ on the path of self-giving love that leads to justice and hope.

You are invited to a solemn and meaningful Good Friday walk through the Labyrinth. As we remember Christ’s journey, we contemplate the weight of injustice and the depth of God’s love. Let each step help us consider how we, too, can bear witness to healing, hope, and justice in our world. The path today is both reflective and resolute—a walk toward resurrection promise.

Because the Kalamazoo Marathon will be taking place downtown on Sunday, April 26, we will gather for a special evening worship celebration instead of our usual morning service.

You are warmly invited to join us for Potluck Worship on Sunday, April 26 at 6:00 p.m. We will share in a time of meaningful worship, fellowship, and a shared meal around the table.

Bring a favorite dish to share—all are welcome, whether or not you’re able to bring food. Come as you are, and join us for an evening of community, gratitude, and the joy of being together.

We invite you to gather in loving remembrance of Susan Mumma on Wednesday, April 29 at 3:00 p.m. at First United Methodist Church of Kalamazoo. Susan’s life was a radiant testament to kindness, courage, and the quiet strength she shared so generously with all who knew her. Her bright spirit, gentle compassion, and joyful heart touched family, friends, and our community in lasting ways. As we come together to celebrate her life and the light she leaves behind, all are welcome to join in this sacred time of gratitude and remembrance.
