- **Event Description**: You are invited to experience Holy Week in a meaningful and reflective way at Wesley Chapel UMC’s Journey to the Cross.

This interactive event invites you to walk through the final 24 hours of Jesus’ life as he made the journey that would lead to the cross. Along the way, you will stop at several stations that encourage you to pause, reflect, and prayerfully consider what Jesus experienced—and the depth of his love for us.

Each station offers a chance to enter into the story, reflect on Jesus’ faithfulness, and consider how that same love and faithfulness still meet us in our lives today.

This experience is appropriate for adults and children of all ages and is meaningful for the whole family. Many who have participated in past years have found it to be a powerful and deeply moving way to prepare their hearts for Easter.

Event Times:
Maundy Thursday – April 2 | 5:00–8:00 PM
Short community worship and meditation services will be held in the sanctuary each hour on the hour. You are welcome to walk through the stations before or after the worship times.

Saturday – April 4 | 10:00 AM–3:00 PM
The Journey will be open for self-guided participation.
