current sermon series

April 12 to May 10

Believable is a sermon series that explores some of the most extraordinary claims of the Christian faith, truths that may seem unbelievable at first, yet are deeply rooted in Scripture and experience. Together, we’ll examine the evidence that invites us not just to wonder, but to trust. We invite you to wrestle with big questions, engage your doubts, and discover why these foundational truths are not only believable but life-changing.

Coming up in worship

Mother's Day Musical

Friday, May 8 at 6:00PM and
Sunday, May 10 at 10:30AM

Grace Children’s Music Ministry will present STORMS by Mark Burrows on Mother's Day weekend. We all go through storms in our lives. Some storms are physical, like floods, tornadoes, and blizzards. Others are more figurative, but no less real: fear of loss, insecurity of being "good enough", worry over a friend or family member struggling with illness, anxiety about daily life, and the reality of bullies. STORMS features a group of children who wonder if they have what it takes to overcome storms of their own. Through heartfelt songs, authentic dialogue, and a healthy dose of humor, the children discover that they can, with God's help, weather the storms of life.

This musical was chosen amid one of those storms in the loss of "Miss Shelly" Drescher, who was mom to choir members Isabelle, Miranda, and Alex, and also served as one of the directors of our children's choirs. We will dedicate this year's Mother's Day worship offering to her memory. All are welcome!

Summer Outdoor Worship

Sundays July 5, August 2, & September 6 at 9AM

Join us for outdoor worship in the field with Music, Holy Communion, and God's Great Outdoors! There will be no 8:00AM worship on these Sundays. In the event of inclement weather, we will gather at 9:00AM in the Sanctuary. We will also have worship at 10:30AM in the Sanctuary and on livestream.

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.
