Our Church
Here at Grace United Methodist Church, we are all on a journey of faith. Some are just beginning, some are along the path a ways, and most of us are somewhere in between. We all have a common goal - to grow closer to Jesus. As disciples, we seek to share his love with a world in need by being the hands and feet and voice of Jesus.
Sunday Mornings
Worship at 9:00 am
Like most churches, there are sure to be things we don't do perfectly. As God's people a part of the Wesleyan tradition, we hope to grow in grace throughout our lives. If you come on Sunday, feel free to wear a dress or suit, or simply comes in a t-shirt and jeans. Come as you are. Our worship music is a mix of traditional hymns and contemporary songs.
If you're new, we'll try to not put you on the spot, but feel free to visit with our pastor or let us know if you need anything. We hope our words and actions convey that you are welcome, accepted, and loved. During our worship service we'll praise and thank God for through prayer and song. If folks have burdens or struggles, we'll also lift those up in prayer, and encourage persons to open up with one another (as they're comfortable) throughout the morning. At about 9:15 we offer Children's Church to those in preschool through sixth grade.
​
Sunday morning is an opportunity to gather together, to worship together, to rejoice and weep together, to receive forgiveness and extend grace together, to learn and be challenged together, and to experience the grace of God together, to be shaped into faithful disciples of Jesus, together.
​
You are also invited and encouraged to come to our Adult Sunday School class at 8:oo am and to join us in Fellowship Hall after worship to enjoy a time of connecting and getting to know one another.

"Stories That Matter" - April 12 - May 17, 20206​
​​
​
The season of Easter, or Eastertide, is a time of embracing the promise and hope of Resurrection. It is a time to lean into the stories that matter in our journeys of faith. Come and gather around the stories of those who wrestled with the Easter event and some of the words of preparation that Jesus gave to help us live the reality of eternity now. It is clear from these stories that Jesus wanted to equip us to thrive as we live out the Easter promise. This season, we hope you’ll engage in stories that matter.
​
Unless I See - April 12 - John 20:19-31 and 1st Peter 1:3-9 - In John 20, Thomas reminds us that the power of Resurrection is inseparable from its reality. In worship we seek to engage all of our senses — sight, sound, touch, taste — to notice Christ’s risen presence among us and within us. Peter connects to the eternal – to the hope that is our inheritance that comes through genuine faith in Jesus Christ.
​
Astounded Us - April 19 - Luke 24:13-35 and 1st Peter 1:17-23 - In Luke 24, the risen Jesus walks with two downcast disciples, explaining God’s life-giving and enduring word. In the end, they see and understand that he is Jesus as he breaks the bread. In life we find this same joy as we live into the astounding news that love has conquered death.
​
Knowing That Voice - April 26 - John 10:1-10 and 1st Peter 2:19-25 - Like sheep, we learn to recognize the Shepherd’s voice together. This is important as there are many other voices in this world. As the flock, we find life to the full in Christ. And in moments of suffering and trial and in those times when we go astray, we turn to Jesus, the sinless one who heals us and calls us back into the community.
​
You Know the Way - May 3 - John 14:1-14 and 1st Peter 2:2-10 - In John 14, Jesus declares, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” This simple truth invites us to unite belief with holy living, exploring how faith shapes our daily choices and communal witness. Peter explores our firm foundation, encouraging us to place our faith in the cornerstone, Jesus Christ, so that we can live as God’s people in the world.
​
The Story Abides - May 10 - John 14:15-21 and 1st Peter 3:13-22 - In John 14 we are reminded that the Spirit abides in us, preserving and weaving our shared story as the body of Christ. Peter also writes of the Spirit bringing the presence of God into our lives. As we intentionally choose to be guided by the Spirit, we will experience the ongoing narrative of God’s love being lived out in our community.
​
So That They May Be One - May 17 - John 17:1-11 and 1st P. 4:12-14, 5:6-11 - Jesus prays for our unity and glorification in him in John 17. Because this is not always easy, we will wrestle with what it means to live as answers to Christ’s prayer for oneness in the world. And at times, the world brings trials as the devil is ever on the prowl. Peter reminds us that Jesus will restore, empower, strengthen, and establish us in these battles.​
