JOIN US FOR A JANUARY SERMON SERIES: 

“Holding On and Letting Go”

January 11 – February 1, 2026

As we begin a new year together, we’ll spend four weeks reflecting on what to hold on to, and what to let go of.

This series is about discernment, how God calls us as individuals, and as a church, to cling to what gives life, release what weighs us down, and trust the work God is still doing in us and through us. We’ll explore the things worth keeping, releasing what holds us back, facing our fears and obstacles, and seeing the growth that is possible when we live that way.

Wherever you find yourself, you’re invited to journey with us. Come as you are. 

(If you know someone who you might want to invite, feel free to pass this on.) 

We’re Joyfully Welcoming New Members!

Membership Classes: Sat, Jan 31 • 10:00 a.m. and Sat, Feb 7 • 1:00 p.m.

Membership Classes are coming soon! Join us to learn about the United Methodist Church, our core beliefs, and the meaning of membership and baptism as you discern your next step in faith. Speak with Pastor René or just attend.

New members will be received in Worship on Feb 8th.

Next Thrift Shop Gathering: Join us JANUARY 30TH at the Wesley House at 10 AM. We will continue organizing the shop, finishing small projects, begin training on the cash register and more! All are welcome to attend. We have a lot of fun, too!

ALTAR FLOWERS

Honor a loved one or give thanks by placing flowers on the altar. The cost is $60, and you may take the flowers home after the service. Envelopes and forms are available on the door across from the sanctuary—please place them in the offering plate and sign the poster.

Many thanks to all who donated the canned fruit for our Monday morning breakfast. For now, we have enough to last us for the upcoming breakfast for a few months. I would like the donation to turn to boxed cereal. These we could send with them when they leave. The preferred cereal would be Cheerios because it can be eaten without milk. Some have no milk. Cheerios is a good healthy snack or for breakfast.

It is heartbreaking to see people hungry and once again THANKYOU!!!
