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.

"Journey's End" - Easter 2026 - March 29 - April 5, 2026
​
Welcome to the roller coaster we call Holy Week. We begin with a parade and then attend a dinner party that is followed by a trial and condemnation, an execution, and a burial. Then, there is an unimaginable surprise. Whew. Hold on to your hats. Even though we have been here before, we make this journey because he made this journey for us. We watch and we listen, and we follow at a distance because that is the best we can do. We shout and we sing; we weep, and we rejoice, because to make this journey is to embrace being alive with all the passion and the promise life offers. We make this journey because, once again, we need to learn how to begin again. Join us for the end and the beginning.
​​
"Marching Orders" - March 29 - 9 AM - Even as we face the truth about the sin and evil of our world and the violence and harm brought, we turn to Psalm 118 to sing of God’s steadfast love. In Matthew, there is a decision to be made: Do we follow Jesus’ words, joining in the dangerous parade? Or do we stand on the roadside as he passes by, maybe waving a branch, saying, “Hosanna!”
​
"Eat and Run" - April 2 - 6 PM - The mandate of Maundy Thursday is: “love one another.” It was love that guided the first Passover in Exodus 12. It is love that guides us as we gather at the Lord’s Table, drawing upon Paul’s remembrance in 1st Corinthians 11. At the table, we are prepared to eat and run – into a world that needs to know God’s love for them too.
​
"Reaching the Destination" - April 3 - 6 PM - This night feels like it is the end. Jesus has reached his final destination. That is what Good Friday felt like long ago. Isaiah foretold the story. As we read the story from John’s gospel, we remember the arrest and the denial, the trials and the whipping and mocking. We recall the cross being carried, the crucifixion, and the burial. The end.
​
"A New Start" - April 5 - 6:30 AM and 9 AM - The angel is straight-forward the Mary’s: Jesus isn’t here. He is risen; he is alive. They seek the living among the dead. This is what Jesus invites us to as well: to be the living amongst the death and brokenness of the world, to be love and life – abundant, full, empowered. Living this new life, we serve with grateful hearts, filled with joy and hope.​
