Palm Sunday Family Fun Day

Palm Sunday was the day of Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem and marks the beginning of Holy Week for us.
We will hold worship at our regular service times that morning at 9 am (Traditional) and 10:30 am (Contemporary). All are welcome for worship that day followed by a special event for the whole family.
Sunday, March 24, is Palm Sunday Family Fun Day here at Puyallup UMC! Everyone is invited to join us that day from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm for egg hunts, games, and more! Check out our Palm Sunday Fun Day page to hear more about it.
Maundy Thursday
April 17 @ 7 PM (off-campus event)
Maundy (or Holy) Thursday is when we remember Jesus’ washing of his Apostles’ feet and the Last Supper on the night before the crucifixion.
All are welcome to come hear the story of the Passion of the Christ through the beautiful exposition of song. On Thursday, April 17, at 7 pm, our Faith Singers choir will be performing in a Joint Choir Cantata at the First Presbyterian Church of Puyallup.
Their church is located at 412 W Pioneer Ave; Puyallup, WA 98371.
Good Friday
April 18 @ 9 AM
On Friday, April 18, we invite you to come down to the sanctuary (between 9 am to Noon), go to a park, or find a quiet place at home and utilize this contemplative prayer resource as a prayer guide. Take a moment for yourself to reflect on God’s love and the meaning of the cross.
You can also join us later that day as we march with other Christians downtown for the annual community Cross Walk at 4:15 pm. The starting location will be in the lot at 3rd St SW & W Pioneer.
Come share the gospel as the Cross is carried through the streets of town with three stops at First Presbyterian Church, Peace Lutheran, and All Saints churches. There will be special speakers with a social justice focus at each church.
Easter Sunday
April 20 @ 6:30 AM, 9 AM, & 11 AM
The community is invited to join us on Easter morning, Sunday, April 20, as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus and the breaking out of hope! This story of God’s enduring love and the ultimate triumph of life over death is central for us as Christians. It is a message with the power to change the world.
We hope to see you at any one of three Easter services: 6:30 am (sunrise service outdoors around the fire pit), 9 am, and 11 am that morning. Visit our Easter page for more specific details.
Can’t be there in person? Join us at 9 and 11 am via live stream or watch the recordings later online.
Worshiping with US FOR THE FIRST TIME?
Puyallup United Methodist Church is a faith community that welcomes all people, beautifully diverse as God created them. If this is your first time joining us, we want you to feel welcome and blessed by worship together. Some people dress up for Easter, others dress more casually—you choose! Our church is accessible and inclusive, but not pushy or perfect—nobody is, right?
Children are always welcome to join you in the sanctuary at any of our services. Nursery care is always available on Sundays and will be offered during the 9 AM and 11 AM services on Easter.
Our church is located at 1919 West Pioneer Avenue in Puyallup, Washington (98371). Click here for Google Map Directions.
