The strange way of Jesus | Part 2

... Some began to see the one they had called the “King of the Jews” as a disappointment. How could he ask them to forgive Rome? How could he speak of loving enemies when the people were suffering under oppression? A disappointed crowd can easily become a dangerous crowd, especially when religious leaders know how to manipulate emotions...
A Lenten opportunity to care

A Lenten opportunity to care

Today I would like to invite you to remember that Lent is a season that calls us to pause and look again at our faith and at the world around us, because we believe that following Jesus is about prayer, and reflection, but also about love in action.

New Every Morning | January 2026

New mercies, not just on Christmas, or New Year’s, but each and every morning.  “Happy New Year.“, I whispered to my husband as I quietly crept out of bed  at 7:30. Going to the window and opening the curtains, I was looking forward to peeking outside and greeting this special day.

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.
