Friends, our latest Sunday Worship Service is now available at blaineonline.org!

What am I carrying?
What hurt, resentment, fear, or memory might God be inviting me to release, and what would it look like to place it in God’s hands?

Where have I received grace?
How has God’s forgiveness and grace changed me, and where might God be calling me to extend that same grace to someone else?

What am I passing on?
What am I teaching the next generation — through my words and especially through my example — about forgiveness, faith, compassion, and hope?

All-Church Clean-Up on Saturday, Sept. 12, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The Board of Trustees invites everyone to our biannual All-Church Clean-Up on Saturday, Sept. 12, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., followed by lunch.

Our campus is used by many groups and hosts numerous events throughout the year, and it needs some extra care beyond what our weekly janitorial service provides. A variety of activities will be available to accommodate all skill levels, energy levels and time commitments.

Some of the areas we will focus on include gardening and cleanup around the courtyard and steps, as well as cleaning the sanctuary, social hall and social hall kitchen. The church will provide some supplies, but if you have your own gardening gloves or tools, please bring them.

We would greatly appreciate everyone’s help and hope you can join us! A sign-up sheet will be available in the social hall, or you can contact Ron, Tim Ikegami or Jason Lew so we can get an approximate headcount for lunch.

Thank you, and we look forward to seeing everyone there!

Friends, check out our latest Sunday Worship Service at blaineonline.org!

Consider these Sermon Reflection Questions:

Is there someone I need to approach with honesty and love, rather than talking about them to others? What is keeping me from taking that first step?

How can I practice both truth and grace when dealing with conflict, correction, or hurt within my relationships and church community?

What would change in my relationships if I truly believed that Christ is present whenever we gather in His name — even in difficult conversations?

This Sunday, we will reflect on Matthew 18:15-20 (CEB) and Jesus’ teaching about relationships, reconciliation, and Christian community. We are reminded of the importance of speaking the truth in love, practicing forgiveness, and seeking restoration when relationships are broken. Most importantly, Jesus assures us that Christ is present whenever we gather in Christ’s name.

Friends, our latest Sunday Worship Service is at blaineonline.org!

What can the animals in our lives teach us about God’s love and the gift of creation?

How might our understanding of “God saw that it was good” change the way we see and treat the creatures around us?

Where do we see God’s presence and goodness in creation…in ways we notice and in ways we often overlook?

What is one way we can respond to God’s gift of creation by becoming more compassionate and faithful stewards of all living things?

You are invited to join us for worship tomorrow, Sunday, Aug. 30, at 10 a.m. in the Blaine Courtyard for our Blessing of the Animals worship service.

Whether you have been part of the Blaine Memorial family for many years, are visiting for the first time or are joining us from another place, you are welcome here.

If you are unable to worship with us in person, we invite you to join us via our YouTube livestream:

We’ll gather outside in the courtyard for a special time of worship as we celebrate and give thanks for the animals who bring so much joy, companionship and love into our lives.

Bring your beloved pets to receive a special blessing. If your pet isn’t able to join us in person, you’re welcome to bring a photo instead. We’ll also have a small altar where you can place a photo of your animal as part of our worship, as well as special treats for our canine and feline friends.

Rev. Karen invites you to slow down and notice the beauty of God’s creation. We’ll reflect on Psalm 104:10-15, 18, 24-25 (NRSVUE) and Genesis 1:20-25 (NRSVUE), which remind us of a God who creates, provides and fills the world with life and wonder.

Since we will be gathering for this special Blessing of the Animals service, there will be no Church School or BYG Youth Group on Sunday. Instead, we invite everyone to participate together in worship as we celebrate and give thanks for God’s creatures.

Friends,

Our latest Sunday Worship Service is now available at blaineonline.org!

Eugene Onishi, one of Blaine Memorial UMC’s lay leaders, preached last Sunday. His message was grounded in the day’s lectionary readings from Exodus 1:8-2:10 (CEB) and Matthew 16:13-20 (CEB).

In addition to serving as a lay leader, Eugene is our Music and Choir Director and co-chair of the Board of Ordained Ministry Interview Team for Provisional and Full Candidates for Ordained Ministry in the Pacific Northwest Conference.

With Eugene preaching, Leann Onishi led us in music, with Kathy Onishi accompanying on piano. It was truly an Onishi family affair! We were grateful to have the Onishi family share their gifts with us through music, leadership and the Word.
