Welcome
You are invited to join us for Sunday School at 9:15 a.m and worship at 10:45 a.m. every Sunday!
We extend a special welcome to those who are single, married, divorced, gay, filthy rich, dirt poor, yo no habla Ingles. We extend a special welcome to those who are crying new-borns, skinny as a rail or could afford to lose a few pounds.
We welcome you if you can sing like Andrea Bocelli or like our pastor who can’t carry a note in a bucket. You’re welcome here if you’re “just browsing,” just woke up or just got out of jail. We don’t care if you’re more Catholic than the Pope, or haven’t been in church since little Joey’s Baptism.
We extend a special welcome to those who are over 60 but not grown up yet, and to teenagers who are growing up too fast. We welcome soccer moms, NASCAR dads, starving artists, tree-huggers, latte-sippers, vegetarians, junk-food eaters. We welcome those who are in recovery or still addicted. We welcome you if you’re having problems or you’re down in the dumps or if you don’t like “organized religion,” we’ve been there too.
If you blew all your offering money at the dog track, you’re welcome here. We offer a special welcome to those who think the earth is flat, work too hard, don’t work, can’t spell, or because grandma is in town and wanted to go to church.
We welcome those who are inked, pierced or both. We offer a special welcome to those who could use a prayer right now, had religion shoved down your throat as a kid or got lost in traffic and wound up here by mistake. We welcome tourists, seekers and doubters, bleeding hearts … and you!
Announcements
February 7th, 2021
Welcome to the online worship experience; click on the link below for the service. Today we will partake of holy communion; remember to prepare your elements before you begin the worship service. After the sermon, we will start with the communion, the Table of Thanksgiving.
February is Black History Month, and I invite you to check out and embrace the many resources for learning that are available through television, documentaries, books, and social media. Black History is American History, and without it, there would be no American History. My prayer is that you will find these resources valuable as we strive to guard and preserve unity.
Grace and Peace

He is a part of Church Anew, an ecumenical ministry dedicated to the power of leaders gathered around the promise of sharing faith in new ways, especially in this age of Covid-19.

Good Evening!
Gracious God,
With joy and thanksgiving, we gather as your people. We have come to hear again the timeless story of Christ's birth. In the excitement of this night, quiet our hearts that we may know the peace and fullness of this holy time. Shine, O Light, in the darkness of our world. Sing, O angels, in the stillness of our hearts, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those God favors." This we pray in the name of the Child of Bethlehem. Amen. (UMC Discipleship)
