New Rhythms: Making Space for Grace
Sunday, September 13 through Sunday, October 18
Your calendar may be full, but your life can still make space for peace, purpose, connection, and grace.
Fall can feel like a fresh beginning—and a return to overloaded calendars, constant demands, and little room to breathe.
New Rhythms: Making Space for Grace is a six-week worship and small-group journey for people with full lives and tired souls. Through biblical stories, honest conversation, and accessible spiritual practices, we will learn to remember God’s faithfulness, listen for the next faithful step, become present in difficult places, release what we cannot control, receive life-giving limits, and choose the practices that shape us. Groups are designed for longtime Christians, people returning to church, and those who are simply curious. You do not need a perfect schedule or a polished faith. Bring the life you actually have.
There are four small group opportunities from which to choose:
-
Sundays at 10:30AM with the Hearts on Fire Group
-
Sundays at 12:30PM with Pastor Sophia
-
Mondays at 1PM with the Sisters Group
-
Mondays at 6PM with Pastor Kim and Glen Neace
communion
Communion is served once a month. All are invited to receive Communion; you do not need to be United Methodist or a member of this congregation, and there is no age requirement. It is the Lord's Supper, not ours, and it is Christ who invites you. Typically, small pieces of bread are broken from a common loaf, dipped in a cup, and given to those partaking in Communion. We are sensitive to the needs of our congregation; we use grape juice instead of wine, and have gluten-free elements available.
