The Easter Sunday Worship Service at Thorndale United Methodist Church will be Sunday March 31, 2024 at 9:15am in the Worship Center.

What is the meaning of Easter?

In God’s great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” At Easter, we as Christians celebrate ‘this most important day,’ the resurrection of our Saviour Jesus Christ. This event is central to our Heavenly Father’s plan of happiness.

For Christians, Easter is not just one day – it’s a season of 50 days, a week of weeks, derived in its length from the fifty days between Passover and Pentecost (which means fiftieth) in Judaism. Easter season begins at sunset on the eve of Easter and ends with Pentecost, the day we celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit and the birth of the Church.
