The conversation has begun!
It is hard to believe that we are already in June and that the retreat we have been talking about and preparing for over the last several months is now behind us! This past Saturday, June 13th, members of Groveville and Crosswicks gathered at St. Mark UMC to begin an important conversation about what the future of our ministries might look like over the next seven years.
Memories, fire of the Spirit, and hope
On Memorial Weekend's Sunday, our two communities, Groveville UMC and Crosswicks UMC, shared together a beautiful and meaningful Joint Memorial & Pentecost Sunday Service. It is difficult to fully describe everything we experienced together, because every part of the morning carried its own spirit of reverence, honor, beauty, and hope.

A letter from a brother…
I had the joy of getting together with some of friends at a church in Groveville yesterday morning. They had collected clothes, blankets, socks and spent the morning assembling hygiene and blessing bags for us to distribute on the streets.
What a beautiful time of fellowship!
Last Friday, March 7th, 2026, we shared a beautiful and meaningful evening of fellowship, learning, and hospitality as we welcomed our brothers and sisters of the Muslim faith for our Interfaith Iftar Dinner.
Let us get ready for Lent together!
It’s hard to believe, but Lent is already around the corner! It feels like we just packed away the Christmas decorations and now the Church is gently inviting us to slow down again and prepare our hearts for Easter.
Lighting the Tree and Sharing the Season in Groveville
This past Saturday, December 6th, Groveville UMC held our traditional Christmas Tree Lighting for our extended community, and it was a very special night. While we gathered outside in the crisp December air, we were reminded that we are called to be light in a world that seems to be covered in shadows.
We celebrated our 103 Thanksgiving Breakfast!
This Thanksgiving morning, our church family gathered once again for one of the most beautiful and enduring traditions of our community: our 103rd Thanksgiving Breakfast. When you stop to think about it, one hundred and three years is more than a number. It is a testimony of faith. It is the story of generations who have woken up early on Thanksgiving morning to cook, to welcome, to pray, and to share a meal that has become part of the very heart of our church.

When People Search for God in Their Phones
A few weeks ago, The New York Times published an article titled “Finding God in the App Store.” It described how millions of people around the world are turning to chatbots and religious apps to find guidance, comfort, and forgiveness. These tools, trained on sacred texts, have become digital companions for those who seek hope, prayer, or understanding at any hour of the day or night.

Spiritual Maturity
We continue our series on spiritual maturity, focusing on how it relates to leadership and service in the church.
Interestingly, in our context, maturity is often mistaken for longevity in the church, holding important titles, or having theological knowledge. Some believers, especially those with influence, seek recognition through power or title roles like pastor, prophet, or leader. But this mindset promotes a culture of status rather than service.
