join us on this lenten journey
I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. — Isaiah 43:19
Lent is a time of reflection, and there’s nothing like a pilgrimage to conjure that up. Making intentional journeys has been a ritual of humankind across time and traditions. Inspired by passages in the scriptures that talk about the journeys, roads, and pathways of life, we will make our way together through this season.

Because we know many of our families will be traveling for Spring Break, which falls during Holy Week this year, come join us for an early Holy Week Experience on Wednesday, March 25 from 5:00PM.
All are invited to the Sanctuary to experience the celebration of the triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, the humility and servanthood of Maundy Thursday, and agony of the cross on Good Friday in a one hour service created especially for families. The children’s music ministry will help to lead us on this experiential journey as we wave palms, wash hands, receive communion, and end at the foot of the draped cross. All are welcome!

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.
