Hello all! In an effort to make sure everyone can access our worship livestream, we are moving it to YouTube so people do not need to create an account to see. We will still have the link shared on our Facebook, but this way it’s easier to access. Here is the link to the page where we will have our livestream:

We are so grateful for First United Methodist Church, Hickory and Pastor Paul and Pastor Carson for supporting us today in helping a local individual get moved into a new apartment! It's powerful when churches work together and we can see signs of the United Methodist Connection and indeed the connection that all churches have across space and time in Christ. May all of you who see this post find connection and support from others today!

“Not by might, not by power/ By Your spirit God, send Your spirit God” (Your Spirit—Tasha Cobbs Leonard)

Today we celebrate the day of Pentecost, that day 2000 years ago when God’s Spirit was poured out upon the Church! In a practice of being open to God’s empowerment we each painted flames on this canvas, recognizing that the ways that God touches us individually brings us together into the beautiful mosaic that is the body of Christ.

This Pentecost Sunday may you know that God loves you deeply in all your unique ways and invites you to let this love carry you into community with others!
