Last summer, a group of FUMC Denton adults and youth traveled to France to experience the prayer services of the Taizé Community.

Now, you have the opportunity to experience the beauty of Taizé worship for yourself. Join us for a Taizé Prayer Service on Sunday, February 16, at 10:15 AM in Cole Chapel and discover a fresh and contemplative way to pray.

We invite you to gather for a heartfelt observance of All Saints Day. This sacred day, often overlooked in the liturgical year, serves as a poignant reminder of the faithful souls who have walked alongside us in our journey of faith, their legacies intertwining with our own. All Saints is an opportunity for us as a community to pause and remember those in our collective history—the thinkers, the dreamers, and the silent leaders—who continue to inspire us in myriad ways. Their stories remind us of the tradition of the church, a glorious tapestry enriched by each individual thread, each life well-lived. 

On this day, through reflection, song, and shared testimony, we will celebrate the vast legacy that has shaped not only the United Methodist Church but also our individual hearts. Let us come together as we light candles in memory of those dear to us, symbolizing their light still guiding us despite their physical absence.

We will read the necrology— the naming those who have left us— during our morning worship services. In the evening, in the sanctuary, our choir will offer the ethereal sounds of Maurice Duruflé’s Requiem in a special service for All Saints. The evening service will also include the reading of the necrology. The choir will breathe life into this timeless composition offering a musical journey of solace and celebration.

Join us as we honor the precious memories of those we’ve lost—welcome the solace of music, and embrace the strength found in our shared remembrance. Together, we transcend sorrow and uplift one another, recognizing that all saints, seen and unseen, continue to shine their light upon us.

Despite what you may have heard, questions aren’t a challenge to our faith, they are the channel by which our faith grows deeper and stronger. Jesus asked his followers questions that inspired new thoughts, challenged old assumptions, and brought to life a view of the God who invites us to love with our heart, soul, and mind.

Share your big questions using the button below, then join us April 7–May 26 for a worship series where we let these questions lead us on a quest for a wider, truer view of God, wisdom for real life, and a faith that grows deeper and stronger.

Join us on Easter Sunday for a joyous celebration of new life, renewal, and resurrection—God’s grace at work in our world and in us. The ancient call and response of the people bears witness to that grace: Christ is risen! Christ is risen indeed! Together we celebrate our shared hope with glorious song, hopeful good news, and joyous life. Invite friends, strangers, neighbors, and families as we celebrate the powerful love of God in Christ! We’ll have opportunities for both in-person worship and online worship on this day.

Easter Schedule:

7 am Sunrise Service - Crouch Garden (on Sycamore Street) / Rain plan: Cole Chapel

7 am Jesus Fuente de Vida - Ivey Garden (on Locust Street)

9 am Mosaic Worship – Flinn Hall (on Sycamore side of church, porch with rainbow doors)

11 am Open Worship - Flinn Hall (on Sycamore side of church, porch with rainbow doors)

On this evening, we will remember the story of Jesus’ sacred sacrifice of love made on the cross. In a service of song, scripture, and silence, we will reflect on the hardship of that day and the way darkness seemed to drown out the light. The solemnity of Good Friday is an important part of the rhythm of Holy Week. Because, even in this important, poignant experience, we look to the hope of Easter—that God’s life and love triumphed over the grave. In the midst of the pain and the loss of Good Friday is a profound paradox: what seemed final was simply not final. The grave is empty. Death has indeed lost its sting.

Join us for worship on Good Friday at Noon in Cole Chapel and 6:30 pm in the Sanctuary. You can also join us online for the 6:30 pm service here at fumcdenton.com/live or on Facebook. Our Good Friday worship this year will be a stations of the cross service. The choir will present Taylor Davis’ Return to Me, a new choral setting of the stations service accompanied by George D’Ascenzo on cello. Join us for this poignant service as we commemorate Christ’s death and prepare for the celebration of his Resurrection on Easter Morning. 

Join us for Maundy Thursday worship where we will commemorate Jesus’ last night with his disciples and gave them the mandate (mandatum in Latin which is shortened to “Maundy”) to love one another. The service will be in the form of a stations service where you will be invited to move through different spaces in the church with the opportunities to participate in communion, prayer, service, and song at your own pace. We will begin in the Sanctuary at 6:30pm. All are welcome!

Join us at 10:45 am in Ivey Garden for our 3rd Annual Palm Sunday Parade! We will sing together and then wave our palms as we enter the 11:00 worship services.
