Holy Week Events

This week starts in Hallelujah! and ends in the unthinkable. Just to show the depths to which divine love is willing to go on behalf.

You are invited to come and experience what it might have been like for Jesus to enter in Jerusalem that Palm Sunday morning and continue that journey as he drew ever closer to the cross. A dramatic reading of the Palm to Passion story will be offered this morning, including an interactive procession of the Palms, followed by interspersed offerings of music and dramatic narrative readings that carry us into the Passion story.

Welcome

Eudora United Methodist Church is a growing congregation with a wonderful mix of newer attending younger singles/families and older adults that have been part of the church's rich history.   We're a mission and service-oriented church that is constantly striving to grow in understanding God's love for us and in our response of sharing that love with others.  We experience and share the presence of God's spirit in an intentionally blended music worship on Sunday mornings and in a variety of Spiritual Formation opportunities for all ages.  Various Fellowship Groups also bring the congregation together for fun activities that meet through the year.
