Good morning. Thank you to everyone who joined us for Maundy Thursday service last night. This evening, our Good Friday service will be held at the same time at 7:00 PM.

Jesus left the throne of heaven, took on flesh and dwelt among us, knelt to wash his disciples' feet, and surrendered himself to the cross. He showed us first what it looks like to love by descending — as God who became human, God who became servant, God who became death on the Cross. On this Friday night, I want to invite you to stay in that grace, to remember it together, and to worship.

I look forward to seeing everyone together this evening for worship.

Easter at Incarnation - Palm Sunday & Holy Week Schedule

03/06/2026

Good morning everyone :)

Just last week when I checked the forecast, I thought Friday would be warm and pleasant, but it's raining quite heavily! Still, this rain is essential for new sprouts to emerge and for us to see more green around us. But the gloomy skies and thunderstorms aren't exactly the kind of scene I'd want to greet on the first Friday of March.

And... our tears feel a bit like that too. We know they're necessary, but it's not a feeling we want to face too often. Today's devotion invites us to reflect together on precisely that point. I invite you to join us. Who knows? It might just be a time when, along with the falling rain, we shed tears of healing.

Have a grace-filled Friday,
and see you later in the afternoon if you join us with FMSC!

Peace in Christ,
CJ Woo

Good morning!

Today is Ash Wednesday, and it marks the beginning of our Lenten journey together. I'm so glad you're joining me this morning. Whether you're listening at home, in your car, or wherever this finds you, I pray that these few minutes bring you a moment of stillness and reflection as we enter this sacred season.

United Methodist Church Bishops Condemn Violence in Minnesota
1/26/2026 - Bishop News
January 26, 2026

Grace and peace to you in the name of Jesus Christ.

In recent days, events in Minnesota and beyond have caused deep grief, concern, and alarm across our connection. The use of lethal force in public spaces, the detention of naturalized citizens, members of our indigenous communities, children, documented and undocumented immigrants, and the treatment of other vulnerable persons have weighed heavily on the hearts of many in our church. These actions have unsettled communities, strained trust, and intensified fear among those already living at the margins.

Scripture reminds us that “when one part of the body suffers, we all suffer with them (I Corinthians 12:26). As a Connectional church, we are reminded that we are one body that cares for and needs each other. The whole body is suffering, right now, today! The violence being perpetrated on our streets, the loss of safety, and the inhumane treatment of God’s children, are hurting us all. We cannot stay silent in the face of the evils of our day.

The United Methodist Church deplores the use of violence, fear, separation, and intimidation as a means of creating social order. Such means do not build beloved community. We reaffirm our longstanding commitment to the sacred worth of every person and to the way of peace taught and embodied by Jesus. We stand against the separation of children from their families. We detest the inhumane, evil actions that are perpetuated by governmental authorities.

Our Social Principles are clear: “We reject governmental use of threats, extortion, unlawful detentions, extrajudicial killings, and other forms of coercion to silence political opponents and those objecting to unlawful or immoral government policies and practices.” They further affirm that the church has both the right and the responsibility to educate and equip its members to be advocates for justice in the wider world (¶163D).

This is a moment that calls for prayerful courage to speak against actions that are bringing harm to our neighbors. This is our time to have an effectual faith that stands with those who are suffering. This is our faithful response to our baptismal vow that summons us into what is required of us “to act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with our God” (Micah 6:8). We must continue to work for justice to help heal the brokenness in our communities and in the world.

We ask you to pray for peace and for justice. And we ask that we work together with our communities so that we can create a world where the sword is turned into plowshares, and the lion lays down with the lamb. May we be faithful disciples of Jesus Christ, who empowered by the Holy Spirit, do our part to bring comfort, just practices, and healing for all God’s suffering people.
In Christ’s peace,

Bishop Tracy S. Malone
President, Council of Bishops
The United Methodist Church

Due to severe weather conditions and extreme cold, we have made the difficult decision to postpone Jim Lyons' Celebration of Life Service originally scheduled for this Saturday, January 24 at 2 PM.

The safety of all attendees is our primary concern.

We will announce a new date as soon as possible. We look forward to gathering together to honor and celebrate Jim's life.
