We need volunteers the day before the concert for set up and various tasks the day of the concert. Sign up here!


Tenebrae and Taizé Service

Good Friday, April 18th, 7 pm

Through the reading of scripture and the successive extinguishing of light in the Sanctuary, you are invited to enter into the dramatic narrative of Jesus’ betrayal, arrest, and crucifixion. Join us for a service of music, scriptures, shadows, darkness, and silence, reflecting the solemn mood of this day. The Zoom link can be found here.

Easter Celebration

Sunday, April 20th, 10:15 am

Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Join us for an Easter service filled with guest musicians, choir voices, spoken words, songs, baptism, receiving of new members and prayers. This Easter, we are excited to share our church’s refreshed vision and branding of Lake Merritt United Methodist Church – a new expression of who we are and where we are headed as an inclusive Christian community. Please bring fresh-cut flowers for the children to decorate the Easter Cross, and plan to stay for fellowship after Worship. Your Easter offerings will help support our siblings in Wadi Foquin and at the Safie Koroma Preparatory School in Sierra Leone. During worship, we will have an Easter egg hunt and activities for the children.



If you would like to submit an announcement for our weekly e-blast, please adhere to the guidelines found here. All submissions are due Wednesday by noon.
