Our Mission:
Christ United Methodist Church exists to bring people to a personal saving relationship with Jesus Christ and to bring all believers to maturity in Christ through worship, study, training, and to place them in ministry both within and without the congregation.
Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion – it is a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.
Christ Works!
Thank you to all those who helped with the Chili Cook-off last Sunday. Because of your generosity, $873.00 was in the free will offering, it was a great success.

I am sharing a series on Covenants in the Bible and this week I am looking at Jacob. Jacob is a bit of a scoundrel. He has cheated his brother out of his birthright and his Father’s blessing, and he is on the run from his angry sibling. This is the moment he has a vision and meets God in an unlikely place. God speaks to him about his continuing covenant with his family. The covenant God made with Abraham, Jacob’s grandfather, and Isaac, his father is being passed to Jacob. I want to look at Jacob’s response to his encounter with God and I want to look at how we respond when God reaches out to make a covenant with us.
This Sunday, we will have regular Worship and Sunday school will be available for the children. Childcare and Kid’s Worship are available this week. The adults and membership age youth are invited to meet in the Fellowship Hall for the Town Hall meeting. We continue to offer multiple Worship options, including in the Sanctuary, Chapel, and the Parking Lot 4 Praise. There will be Sunday school for all ages. By Monday night each week the service is available online for those who cannot attend in person.
I hope you can be in worship this Sunday.
Rev. Mike
