Worship is…

 

Gathering with others, praising and enjoying our relationship with God.

Worship is also a time to remember and to consider God’s blessings in our life and to feel God’s presence in a real way.  It is a time to praise God for what we have freely received from Jesus Christ, alongside of others who are on this journey of life with us.

It is something we do each week at 9:00 am on Sundays.

You are welcomed to join with us as we worship our Lord!

Sunday, December 28, is the First Sunday after Christmas. 

 

We rejoice in the news that Jesus was born in Bethlehem.  Our Savior has been born in David’s City – and he is Christ the Lord!  Rejoice! Glory to God in Heaven!  This is Good News for all people!

 

But there is also some bad news.  Jesus was born into a world with sin, jealousy, and evil intentions.  And Herod, a pathological, paranoid, homicidal king, is searching for this baby Jesus, this newborn king who is a threat to him…

This morning is the First Sunday after Christmas.

Merry Christmas!

 

We joyfully greet our members and their loved ones and all our guests this Christmas Eve! 

 

We remember together, with awe and gratitude how God shone his light into our darkness on that first Christmas.  We pray that we may be bearers of his light to all who languish in the darkness of poverty, illness and fear. 

 

May we share with the world the light that shines from the face of our Lord Jesus Christ.

This is our worship service for Sunday, December 21, 2025.

 

This morning is the Fourth Sunday of Advent. 

 

We delight that this morning is a special day because our Children will tell us the story of the birth of Jesus, “Long Ago, On the First Christmas Night.”

 

We also hear about Joseph… and his faith that helped Christmas come to be. 

 

And we ask what we should do when we find ourselves in complex, competing faith questions.

This is our worship service for Sunday, December 14, 2025.

 

This morning is the Third Sunday of Advent. 

 

We hear the disciples of John the Baptist ask Jesus if Jesus is the one for whom the people of God have been waiting… or if they should be looking for another Savior. 

 

And we ask ourselves if we believe Jesus is the One who the prophecies foretold.

This is our worship service for Sunday, December 7, 2025.

 

This morning is the second Sunday of Advent. 

 

We continue to get ready for the arrival of Jesus as we prepare the way of the Lord.  And we ask, how can we prepare ourselves for Christ’s coming in final victory?

Sunday, November 30, is the First Sunday of Advent and we start to get ready for Christmas and the coming of Jesus.
 
This morning we also welcome Chaplain Jeramy Girard.  Jeramy is a United Methodist Licensed Local Pastor appointed to serve as a Chaplain at Mayo Clinic – Rochester, where he lives with his wife Lauren and their two daughters. We are pleased that Jeramy is with us and leading our worship today!

This is our worship service for Sunday, November 23, 2025.

 

This morning we celebrate Christ the King Sunday.  As we consider what kind of King Jesus is, we can’t help but think of the rulers of the earthly realm – and see why Jesus is King of all kings.

This is our worship service for Sunday, November 16, 2025.

 

This morning we hear Jesus predict the end of the world as we know it.  The good news is that Jesus also tells us how we can make it through times like this…

 

We are to hold fast and keep the faith so that we will gain abundant, eternal life.

This is our worship service for Sunday, November 9, 2025.

 

This morning we welcome Tim Droogsma from Gideons International. 

 

Tim will share with us the ministry of the Gideons and how the Word of God can change lives.

This is our worship service for Sunday, November 2, 2025.

 

This morning we celebrate All Saints Sunday and remember those who have died this past year. 

 

We will be hearing about this Blessed Communion of which we are a part.

This is our worship service for Sunday, October 26, 2025.

 

This morning we hear the ending of the final letter the Apostle Paul writes to Timothy, the young preacher.  Paul reflects on his life and is able to say, “I have fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith.” 

 

Will we be able to say the same thing?

 

And we hear of the surprising benefit of living such a life.  (Or for some of us, it’s not a surprise at all.) 

This is our worship service for Sunday, October 19, 2025.

 

This morning is Laity Sunday in the United Methodist Church.  Today we celebrate the ministry of all Christians and all that you do! 

 

We also take the advice that the Apostle Paul writes to Timothy, the young preacher, to heart in our own lives. 

This is our worship service for Sunday, October 12, 2025.

 

This morning we continue looking at the Apostle Paul’s Second Letter to Timothy – a young preacher in the early church who is dealing with people who are ungodly and causing conflicts.  Paul tells Timothy to focus on what is the foundation of our faith, Jesus, and not engage in battles over words that are not helpful and only serve to destroy.

 

How about us? We can live in a spirit of unity, or in a spirit of divisiveness. 

It’s our choice. 

 

This is our worship service for Easter Sunday, April 20, 2025.

 

Today we rejoice in the wonderful world-changing news of the Resurrection of Jesus!

This is our worship service for Sunday, April 13, 2025.

 

Today we hear the story of Jesus entering Jerusalem in triumph among those who are waving palm branches –

 

And we rejoice in the arrival of the Messiah who came to save us.
