Pastor Kim will be at Gnazzos Food Center, 73 East St, Plainville from 9am - 1pm. She will be imposing Ashes for anyone who wishes to receive them. All are welcome Wednesday 2/18/26!

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the 40-day Lenten season, acting as a solemn call to repentance, reflection, and spiritual renewal in preparation for Easter. It emphasizes human mortality and sinfulness, often through the optional imposition of ashes in the shape of a cross to symbolize confession and God's mercy.
It is a time for believers to confront their human frailty and need for God's grace, focusing on turning away from sin and toward a more faithful life. It initiates a 40-day period (excluding Sundays) of fasting, prayer, and spiritual discipline, mirroring Jesus' time in the wilderness.

We are offering a Lenten Bible study on “Simon Peter: Flawed But Faithful Disciple.” The study will offer a dive into the life, faith, and character of Simon Peter, one of the most significant persons in our Christian gospels. Simon Peter left everything to follow Jesus, but struggled regularly with doubt and fear. His story takes us right into the heart of the gospel story and all the way to the cross.

Our study will begin on Tuesday, Feb. 17, at 7 pm. All sessions will again be on Zoom. There will be six sessions.

Please let Pastor Kim know if you are interested in attending.

Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

As a people called United Methodists, who proclaim God’s justice, peace, and care for all people, we lament the ongoing government shutdown in the United States and the harm it is causing to countless families, workers, and communities. Many individuals are without income, vital social services are being disrupted, and many who are already living in vulnerable situations are being placed in greater distress. This moment calls for our collective compassion, advocacy, and prayerful action.

This government shutdown is not only affecting families and communities in the United States but also impacting people and partners across the world who depend on the stability and aid of the United States.

“We urge those elected or appointed to public posts or holding other positions in government to act as responsible leaders and stewards of the authority and resources entrusted to them. We call on all government officials to aspire to the highest standards of professionalism, honesty, and integrity. Furthermore, we urge all governments to adopt policies and practices that guarantee accountability and transparency in fostering and maintaining the trust of the public.” (UMC Social Principles ¶163, The Political Community).

We call on members of the United States Congress and all elected leaders to set aside partisanship, seek common ground, work together toward a just resolution and act responsibly for the sake of the welfare of all people who they have been elected to serve.

We call on the people of The United Methodist Church to join together in prayer —for our elected leaders to act with wisdom and courage, for individuals and families whose livelihoods are at risk, and for justice and compassion to prevail.

Finally we reclaim our call to be attentive to the needs of people within our communities. May we respond with tangible acts of compassion and kindness to those experiencing hardship during this time.

Scripture reminds us: “Let each of you look not to your own interests, but to the interests of others” (Philippians 2:4). May this be our ongoing collective witness as a people of faith and hope—trusting that God is able to bring unity out of division, justice out of oppression and peace out of chaos.

Yours in the name of Jesus the risen Christ,

This is your Invitation - Please Join US on Sunday September 21 @ 10:00 am.
We are coming together to help people rediscover the heart of the Church—community, faith, and hope. Whether you’ve been away for a while or never stepped into church before, this day is for you.

Please accept our invitation to experience the hope of Jesus. You can expect a warm welcome, a relaxed environment, and a meaningful experience. Every church is unique, but all will share a message that connects Scripture to real life and offer opportunities to find genuine community—for you and your whole family. Come as you are—no pressure, no judgment, just a place to belong and find hope.

Life isn’t meant to be lived alone, and faith isn’t meant to be experienced in isolation. Jesus promises to be present when we gather together, and that’s why the Church isn’t just a building—it’s a community where we can find encouragement, purpose, and hope.

Dear friends,
We join our neighbors in Plainville in mourning the death of Firefighter Raymond Moreau, who died while battling a fire in Plainville early Sunday morning. Our community is what it is because of heroes like Raymond, whose brave sacrifice made it possible for others to live.

May we all give thanks for his life of service to our country and community, and hold in our prayers his family, fellow firefighters, friends, and medical personnel who tried to save him.

There will be a variety of opportunities to remember him. The first one will be a Memorial service for the community this evening at 7 pm at the high school football stadium. There will be visiting hours at the Plainville Funeral Home this Friday evening.
Other arrangements will be publicized as they are known.

Blessings,
Pastor Kim
