This week we begin a series called "A Method to our Madeness."  Each week we'll focus on one compelling piece of United Methodism and why it's relevant to our life and world today.  This week's focus is on grace.  What does it mean and who gets it?   We'll also talk about how baptism fits into our understanding of grace on this Sunday when we celebrate the Baptism of the Lord. Our scripture readings this week are Isaiah 42:1-9 and Matthew 3:13-17.

This Sunday we continue our series on United Methodism. The way care for one another is at the heart of our faith.  In our practice of faith it's not just "Jesus and Me," it's "Jesus and us all."  The practice of caring for everyone in society has always been a foundational piece of Christianity and also Methodism.  Join us on this MLK Jr weekend for a reflection on how and when we are called to stand up for those on the margins, yesterday, today and tomorrow. Our scripture readings this week are Psalm 40:1-11 and Acts 10:34-43. Permission to podcast / stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE, License A-734781. All rights reserved.

Join us this week for Epiphany Sunday!  As we bring to a conclusion the seasons of Advent and Christmastide, we acknowledge that sometimes it feels as if the world has still not changed, even with the birth of Christ.  When the temptation is to give up, let's take some wisdom from the Magi who visited Jesus.  They model for us what it looks like to be led by hope, moving through fear without letting it paralyze us.  Taking a cue from the Magi, this Sunday we'll receive star words for 2026.  A star word is a prayerful nudge from God to be open to new possibilities.  Additionally, if you had a star word from 2025 that was impactful to you, you can share about that during our joys and concerns time.Our scripture reading this week is Matthew 2:1-12, 16-18.  Permission to podcast / stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE, License A-734781.
