Lighting the Tree and Sharing the Season in Groveville

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!

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.

A Taste of Love and Fellowship

A Taste of Love and Fellowship

Sharing food with one another is a sign of friendship, and also a spiritual practice. Around the table we find Jesus, who broke bread with his disciples and welcomed all to join. This is just the beginning of greater unity and connection between our two congregations. United we are stronger. United and connected we are more resilient, and together we can dream even bigger dreams.
Creativity, Canoas, and Parting Oceans

Creativity, Canoas, and Parting Oceans

One of the things I admire most about God is how creative God is. Remember the story of the Israelites escaping Egypt? Pharaoh’s army was chasing them, and right in front of them was the sea. They didn’t have ships. They didn’t even have a single canoa. Still, God didn’t say, “Sorry, there’s no way forward.” Instead, God opened the sea itself. Yes, the sea! That always makes me smile. God doesn’t need a boat when there’s imagination and power at work.
