It is easy to think of faith as something private — just between you and God. But Methodists have always believed that what happens on the inside has to show up on the outside too. The book of James puts it plainly: faith without action is just words.

This week, we're exploring what it looks like to grow as individuals while also showing up for the people and communities around us. Join us this Sunday as we wrap up Methodism 101 and ask the big question — what kind of people are we becoming together?

Most people have heard the word "grace," but for Methodists, it is more than a nice idea — it is the whole foundation of how we live. God's grace starts working in our lives before we even realize it, drawing us toward something bigger than ourselves. It meets us at our lowest point, lifts us up, and then keeps walking with us every step of the way. This week, we're unpacking why grace isn't just a gift we receive but a way of life we practice toward every person we meet. Join us this Sunday and discover why grace might be the most radical idea in the room.

Patriotic Music Sunday is a long-standing tradition here at FUMC!  It's our chance to celebrate our nation's birthday together and highlight the work of our incredible musicians.  Worship will take place at 8:30 am and at 11:00 am.  The modern worship service will join the traditional worship at 11:00 for a combined worship experience. See you on Sunday!

We have no trouble asking God to forgive us. It is forgiving the person who hurt us — or wronged us, or disappointed us, or maybe just got under our skin — where things get complicated. This week, we land on the final lines of the Lord's Prayer and wrestle with what it really means to pray them honestly. Because a posture of grace toward others is not just a nice idea. According to Jesus, it is inseparable from the grace we ourselves have received.

We ask for daily bread — but if we are honest, most of us are living like we ordered the buffet. Somewhere between the original prayer and our modern lives, "enough" got replaced by "more." This week, we sit with one of the simplest lines in the Lord's Prayer and let it ask us a surprisingly uncomfortable question: what would it look like to truly want only what we need — and to make sure our neighbors have the same?
