SUMMARY:Easter Sunday Worship
DESCRIPTION:Whatever this season has held for you\, Easter is an invitation to something bigger — the ancient\, life-changing announcement that hope wins. \nJoin 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. \nYou don’t need to have it all together to walk through our doors. You just need to show up — and we’ll celebrate together.
