“And He who was seated on the throne said, ‘Behold, I am making all things new.’” — Revelation 21:5

What a powerful promise.

Jesus doesn’t say, “I am making all new things.” He says, “I am making all things new.”

That means He doesn’t discard what is broken and start over. Instead, He redeems. He restores. He gathers up our broken dreams, broken relationships, broken circumstances, and broken lives, and He makes them new.

There are moments when we cannot see around the corners of life. We don’t know what comes next or how God could possibly bring beauty from the pieces. Yet the same God who spoke creation into existence is still at work today—repairing, mending, and renewing.

We may not fully understand the lengths God goes to in making all things new, but we can trust that He sees what we cannot. He knows what we do not know. And in the end, His promise remains:

“I am making all things new.”

From Mother’s Day Out and Vacation Bible School to graduation and beyond, Sunday was a beautiful reminder of the lifelong impact of a church community.

During Graduate Sunday (May 31st), Lily and Sophia shared heartfelt reflections on their journeys at Grace UMC. Lily recalled growing up through the Children’s Development Center, Sunday School, and VBS, where she learned about faith, friendship, service, and God’s love. Sophia expressed gratitude for a congregation that believes in its young people, invests in them, and encourages them as they grow.

Scholarships were presented to 20 students pursuing higher education, and each graduate received a copy of "Every Moment Holy: Rites of Passage" as a reminder that God’s presence accompanies them through every season of life. The service concluded with Amber Forrest reading a prayer from the book, offering a blessing for the journeys ahead.

As both Lily and Sophia shared, Grace has helped shape who these young adults are becoming. We are grateful to be part of their stories and excited to see where God leads them next.

Congratulations to all of our graduates and scholarship recipients. May you continue to trust God, serve others, and reflect Christ’s love wherever life takes you.

Through Proverbs 3:1-12 and Matthew 28:16-20, we’ll explore what it means to choose God’s way and place our trust fully in Him. The key to the wise life is not found within ourselves, but in God.

Rev. Dr. John Newell will be preaching at the 8:30 am Traditional Worship service and LifeSong.

At 11:00 am, we will celebrate Graduate Sunday and honor this important milestone in the lives of our graduates.

On Pentecost, the Holy Spirit arrived not in silence, but with the sound of rushing wind and the power of God’s creative breath. The same Spirit that moved at creation now fills the hearts of the disciples — and fills us still.

God no longer chooses to walk only beside us, but within us, reminding us that we are never separated from the love of Christ. Pentecost is the promise that we are empowered, connected, and forever held by the presence of God.

In observance of Memorial Day, the Church Office will be closed on Monday, May 25.

Today we pause to remember and honor the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their courage, sacrifice, and devotion will never be forgotten.

As we gather with family and friends this holiday weekend, may we also take time to reflect with gratitude and prayer for those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

We wish everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day.
