A Final Service of Worship and Gratitude ⛪️🙏✝️🙌

On Sunday, March 16, at 9:00 AM, Ozawkie United Methodist Church will hold its final worship service.

Since 1967, our church has stood atop the hill in “new” Ozawkie, serving as a place of faith, fellowship, and community. As the only church within the city limits, we have been blessed to share in the joys and sorrows of our small lakeside town, offering a home for worship and discipleship.

Like many churches across the nation, we have faced challenges, and after much prayer and discernment, the decision was made to close our doors. While this chapter is coming to an end, the spirit of our church -- our faith, love, and shared commitment to Christ -- will live on in each of us.

“For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” - Matthew 18:20

A church is not just its building -- it is the people, the faith we carry, and the love we share. We invite you to join us for one last worship service, as we come together in gratitude, reflection, and hope.

All are welcome. Let’s gather as a church family one more time.

A Message from Pastor Melinda:

Delaware Valley Parish Christian Friends - Welcome to Lent 2024

This Lent, we are following a theme of UP! Instead of what we might “Give Up” for Lent may we consider what we might “Start Up.”

Making time to nurture your spirit may require that you sacrifice other, less vital activities. The more time you commit to soul-nurturing activities, the happier and more relaxed you will become. The time you devote to enriching your spirit will rejuvenate you and help you create a more restful life.

This year we will try meeting virtually either on your computer or phone or tablet, or by calling in. You will need to use meeting ID for the session you attend. There will be two times each Wednesday 3:00 pm and 7:00 pm.

Zoom is an online platform that supports both audio and video as well as call-in participation. If you haven’t ever tried a ZOOM meeting give it a test. You will need to install the Zoom Application on your computer or device. It isn’t hard, though it takes some time, and you will want to have it set up and ready to go BEFORE trying to join a Zoom meeting.

Additional information for these services are included in the comments below.
