Whatever this season has held for you, Easter is an invitation to something bigger — the ancient, life-changing announcement that hope wins.
Join us for a Celebration of the Resurrection at First United Methodist Church of Park Ridge. We’ll gather with uplifting music, a message of hope, and the shared table of Holy Communion. Kids are invited to participate in a festive Easter Egg Hunt during the service, and everyone is welcome to stay afterward for fellowship in the Parlor.
You don’t need to have it all together to walk through our doors. You just need to show up — and we’ll celebrate together.

As Jesus says to his disciples the evening before his crucifixion: “Can you not stay awake and pray with me one hour?” This is an overnight prayer vigil leading into the Easter celebration. The church building is left open throughout the night if you’d like to pray in the Prayer Room. Alternatively, you can pray at home. Please be sure to signup for an hour slot to pray. Our goal is to fill all of the slots.
