SUMMARY:Sunday May 10 Worship Service
DESCRIPTION:The past four weeks have examined the new Vision for the United Methodist Church which reads: The United Methodist Church forms disciples of Jesus Christ who\, empowered by the Holy Spirit\, love boldly\, serve joyfully\, and lead courageously in local communities and worldwide connections. On this last Sunday in the series\, we will turn to Romans 12:1-8 and Matthew 28:16-20 to consider the transformative power of God at work within us\, and the commission of the risen Christ to go and make disciples of people.

SUMMARY:Sunday May 17 Worship Service: Ascension of the Lord
DESCRIPTION:While he was blessing them\, he withdrew from them and was carried up into heaven. ~Luke 24: 51 \nAs we come to the close of Eastertide\, we remember Christ’s Ascension and celebrate the promise that the risen Jesus does not leave us without blessing\, hope\, or purpose. Our worship will be an offering of blessing from beginning to end as we receive God’s grace\, lift our voices in praise\, and pray honestly for our world and one another. Renewed by the gifts of God that gather us in and send us out\, we go forth to bless others in Christ’s name through our thoughts\, words\, and actions. Let’s experience\, celebrate\, and share God’s love.

SUMMARY:Sunday Worship Service May 24 - Pentecost
DESCRIPTION:Come\, Holy Spirit. On this Pentecost Sunday\, we welcome the fire\, wind\, and breath of God to awaken the Church and send us out in love. We are invited to step into the story of Pentecost and participate in the pouring out of God’s Spirit upon the people. The prophet Isaiah proclaims\, the Spirit of God hovers upon God’s anointed\, bringing gifts of the Spirit. Come\, as the Spirit fills our hearts\, steadies our minds\, guides our choices\, and gives us strong faith as we root ourselves in a renewed reverence for God’s creating ways. Come\, Spirit\, Come.

SUMMARY:Sunday\, June 7 - Worship Service with Children's Musical
DESCRIPTION:First Beats will present their annual musical in worship today\, directed by Jacqueline Stilger. This year’s musical is entitled “Storms” and was written by composer Mark Burrows. It features the Bible passage of Jesus calming the storm. It also explores the idea that we all go through storms in our lives. Some storms are physical: like floods\, hurricanes\, and tornadoes. Others are more figurative\, but no less real: fear of illness and loss\, insecurity of being ‘good enough’\, fear of being bullied\, and other anxieties. “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. They even grow empowered to follow Jesus’ example by being there for others going through times of storm. During the show\, we will take up a collection for flood relief. This is in support of our church’s Mission of the Month for June. \nThere will also be bell ringing for child volunteers!
