This Wednesday is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the Christian season of Lent. We know it is also Valentines Day, so we'll be sure our service has all the trappings of a good date night: dim lights, flickering candles, communal reckoning of our own mortality and the human condition...

Come spend some quiet time with us up at our sister church, Mt. Crawford UMC, as we ponder together what it means to really live and what it really means to die.

Wednesday, Mt. Crawford UMC, 7pm

While we stay off the icy roads today, let's join together in reflecting on the story of the Magi visiting young Jesus, God's promises to the exiles from the prophet Isaiah, and the blessed difficulty we have when we try to find ourselves in the prophetic parts of the Bible.

Dear friends,

Earlier this week a family in our community lost their child after a battle with illness. The family would like to take the time they need to process and grieve together, but cannot afford to take the time off of work, and they've asked for our help. Could you take a moment and help them out?

With Dawsen being sick recently and on hospice, we’ve lost so much time at work, and are beh… Nicole Curry needs your support for Family Support-Dawsen Curry

It's not every day that a church will tell you to go somewhere else on a Sunday, but then again, it's not every day that our bishop is preaching just down the road! We'd love to have you join us at Mt. Sidney on December 10th, but the bishop is a phenomenal and challenging preacher so we wouldn't blame you if you went down to Staunton either.

It is a joy and honor that the Bishop of the Virginia Annual Conference will be preaching at our church December 10th. Mark your calendars.

This past weekend several United Methodist congregations in our neck of the woods had their disaffiliations approved and will soon be leaving the denomination. If you're a member of one of those congregations who wishes to remain United Methodist , or if you just need time to rest and get your bearings after a tense season, we're here for you. Worship and serve with us for as long as you like, and go wherever God may be leading you next. In the meantime, you will be supported, seen, heard, and prayed for. Even if our paths never cross, know we are praying for you.

Please share with anyone in the area who you feel needs to hear.
