Times are particularly difficult in the Korogocho Slum. Our friend George from Kenya is doing everything he can — as always — for those at greatest risk. Please help if you can.

This Sunday, we will celebrate Hymn Sing Sunday, and we would love for our worship to be shaped by the hymns that have been especially meaningful in your faith journey.

Is there a hymn that has encouraged you, comforted you, or drawn you closer to God? We invite you to share one hymn that holds a special place in your heart.

Please email one hymn selection from The United Methodist Hymnal, The Faith We Sing, or Worship & Song to [email protected] by tomorrow (Friday). Since we have limited time during worship, the first seven hymn requests we receive will be included in Sunday's service.

07/09/2026

Our summer schedule is in effect until September 13th. Then Sunday services will begin at 10:30am again.

Sunday School is not just for kids! ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASSES
The Adult Sunday School class has been meeting for years with various people and approaches and topics. Typically, we focus on a chapter a week of a book we read, study a book of the Bible, or consider in depth topics such as the Methodist Hymnal or the Beatitudes. It’s led by those who attend, and it’s informal, supportive, and full of thoughtful conversation. Might you like to join us? We meet Sunday mornings, 9:00-10:15am in the downstairs library (or via zoom). [NOTE that we are NOT meeting next Sunday, May 17. Too many of us will be busy with graduations and other events. We WILL be meeting the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, May 24.]

We have just finished a study of the Gospel of Matthew and are ready to choose a new topic. What kinds of topics/approaches have you liked best? What’s on your heart that you’d like to explore further? Email Betsy Comstock ([email protected]) if you’d like more information or have topic suggestions. If you’d like to consider joining the class, just come. There’s no long-term commitment required and we’d love to have you.

Sunday's prayer was written by David Adam. The poem is used as the lyrics for a choral piece by Eleanor Daly called “Come, Renew Us.” Let us be in prayer.
Come Lord. Come to us. Enter our darkness with your light.
Fill our emptiness with your presence.
Come, refresh, restore, renew us.
In our sadness, come as joy.
In our troubles, come as peace.
In our fearfulness, come as hope.
In our darkness, come as light.
In our frailty, come as strength.
In our loneliness, come as love.
Come, refresh, restore, renew us.
Come, refresh, restore, renew us.
Amen.
