On Pentecost, we remember the coming of the Holy Spirit — like wind and fire — filling the disciples with courage, hope, and the power to share God’s love with the world. The Spirit is still moving today, bringing new life to the Church and to our hearts.

Join us for worship at 10:45 am as we celebrate Pentecost together!

As the disciples watched Jesus ascend into heaven, the two figures in white asked, “Why do you stand looking up toward heaven?” (Acts 1:11)

The Ascension reminds us that faith is not only about looking upward — it’s also about moving forward with hope, purpose, and trust in what God will do next.

Join us this Sunday as we reflect on Acts 1:6–14.

On Sunday we were reminded that sometimes the strongest sermon is the one we preach without saying a word — and that our lives can reflect the hope, grace, and presence of Christ each day.

The Veterans Celebration may be at a new and exciting location this year — Century Village at Fryer Park — but you’ll still find Harrisburg United Methodist Church there serving up some of your favorites! Stop by for biscuits & gravy, coffee and donuts in the morning, plus lunchtime favorites and special craft items and breads throughout the day.

We’re honored to once again be part of this wonderful community event celebrating our veterans and military history. We hope to see you there!

This morning, the Chaffin Brothers and Buddy Smith blessed us with music, laughter, and a heartfelt Mother’s Day celebration.

But one of the sweetest moments came after worship, when the next generation stepped up. The “Laing Brothers” got the chance to try out the steel guitar and electric guitar while learning a few tips from some seasoned musicians. Watching music, encouragement, and a little good-natured fun being passed from one generation to the next was something special.

Maybe we just witnessed the opening act of a future reunion concert.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the women who nurture, encourage, protect, teach, pray, and love with steadfast hearts.

In today’s scripture, 1 Peter 3:13–22, we are reminded to “do good,” to respond with gentleness, and to keep hope alive even in difficult times. So many mothers, grandmothers, and mother figures live out that quiet kind of faith every day — showing strength through compassion, grace through patience, and love through selfless care.

Today we give thanks for the women who have helped shape our lives and reflect God’s love in countless ways. We invite you to bring your mom, grandmother, family, or a friend and join us for worship this morning at 10:45. We’re also happy to welcome back the Chaffin Brothers along with Buddy Smith, who will be sharing 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰 as we celebrate Mother’s Day together.
