Celebrating progress - this is the 70th anniversary of women's ordination in our tradition, and HUMC has proudly been led by amazing clergy women over the years!

Long before ordination was formally granted in 1956, women were already doing the work.

They preached in the early Wesleyan movement. They led class meetings and missionary societies. Women like Sojourner Truth, Anna Howard Shaw, and Helenor Davisson shaped the Methodist church from the ground up, without official recognition and often without credit.

This year, The United Methodist Church marks 70 years since that recognition finally came. And the General Commission on the Status and Role of Women is honoring the milestone with something the whole church can use: a free downloadable worship resource celebrating the legacy and leadership of clergywomen across the connection.

The resource features voices of women from around the world and is designed for use in local congregations, annual conferences, and ministry settings of all sizes. It's available in English, Spanish, French, Chinese, Korean, and Swahili. There is also a large-print edition.

For United Methodist congregations looking for a meaningful way to mark this anniversary, this is a beautiful place to start. And for anyone who has been shaped by the preaching, prayer, and pastoral care of a woman who answered God's call, it's worth a moment to say: we are grateful.

Worship is the moment when human lives open themselves to the living presence of God. One way to describe this mystery is simple and profound: worship brings human creation together with the divine being. That meeting place, where human longing and divine grace touch, is the heart of worship. Join us on Sunday as we create that meeting place together.

Before you plan a single song or choose a single scripture for Sunday, have you ever asked your team what you believe worship is actually meant to do?

It's a question that rarely gets spoken aloud. Most worship teams inherit patterns and preferences. They discuss hymns or praise songs, screen fonts or candle placement, the length of the pastoral prayer. All of it matters. But beneath those decisions lives a deeper question that can quietly shape everything.

Worship, at its core, is not about the program.

It's about an encounter. A moment when human lives open to the presence of the living God. When longing and grace meet in the same room. When weary people remember they are beloved, when anxious hearts rediscover hope, when ordinary lives are touched by something they didn't manufacture on their own.

That understanding changes how we plan. It moves the conversation from preferences to purpose. It softens the edges of what some call "worship wars," because what often look like style disagreements are actually theological questions that were never given space to be asked.

When a worship team pauses to name what they believe together, creativity tends to follow.

If this is a conversation you'd like to have, our new post is available here.

God doesn't discard what's broken. God weaves our brokenness, our threadbare souls, and our mismatched threads into the beautiful fabric of our lives.

Julian of Norwich spent twenty years writing about what she called "showings," glimpses of the love of God so specific and so strange she couldn't stop returning to them.

And what she kept landing on was this: nothing is wasted in God's economy. Not even what has been broken.

That's not a platitude. Coming from Julian, it's a testimony. She had looked at suffering, grief, and confusion and come out the other side with this conviction: God does not discard what is broken. God redeems it. Works through it. Holds it.

As you plan worship this week, think about the broken things in your congregation. The marriages that are fraying. The faith that has gone quiet. The person who shows up anyway, even though they're not sure why anymore.

Your worship is a chance to say, with Julian: "This is not wasted." God is here. God is working. Nothing, not one cracked or painful thing, is beyond redemption.

That is the gospel. And it's worth saying out loud on Sunday 🕊️
