MHUMC – Morgan Hill United Methodist Church

Join us for in-person worship services, 10am Sunday mornings.

We are called to gather as God’s beloved community. We are sons and daughters of our wonderful loving and forgiving God, and we are disciples of Christ. Morgan Hill United Methodist Church is a reconciling congregation, so we are open to all, because all are children of God.

You are invited to join us in worship in this historic church, where generations of people called Methodists have used John Wesley’s four ways of understanding God’s message: scripture, tradition, experience, and reason. We acknowledge that none of us have “all the answers” and respectfully and thoughtfully work together to even understand the questions.

Our worship services are at 10am Sunday mornings.

Holy Week Schedule and Events

Palm Sunday— April 13, 10am

We celebrate Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem. The crowds waved palms and sang “halleluiahs.” We will have a parade with the children to recall that entry. This day begins the last week of Jesus’ earthly life.

Maundy Thursday—April 17, 7pm

We will experience 12 witnesses to the crucifixion. Holy communion will be served as we remember Jesus’ last supper with his disciples.

Good Friday—April 18, 2pm-6pm

On the day that Jesus was crucified we recall the event by walking the stations of the cross. The church will be open from 2 pm to 6 pm for individual meditation, and everyone is invited to come and reflect of the path to the cross.

Easter—April 20, 10am

Alleluia! Christ is Risen! Our worship service tells with story of Jesus’ resurrection in song and word.

Easter Egg Hunt and Fellowship—April 20, After Worship

Our children come together for a traditional Easter egg hunt in our courtyard, after the worship service. Refreshments will be served at the fellowship.

Leadership Team sets 2025 goals
On Sunday, January 12, after the worship service, the Leadership Team will meet to set goals for 2025. Everyone is invited to attend; if you can’t attend but have a recommendation for a goal, please send it to Pastor Linda or a member of the Leadership Team.

Our goals follow the “SMART” approach:
• S = Specific – What, why, when, where
• M = Measurable – may include milestones
• A = Attainable, achievable
• R = Realistic, relevant
• T = Time-bound
As an example, a goal would be like this: Do (something specific, achievable, and relevant) as measured by (measure), by (target date).

Prayer Shawl Ministry: This ministry is ongoing. If you are interested in knitting or crocheting a shawl, please contact Janet Braslin for the how-to. If you know of someone who would benefit from a shawl, contact Pastor Linda or Denise Melroy.
