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. Throughout the Gospels we see how Jesus constantly paid attention to those whom society often overlooked: the poor, the sick, the lonely, and the forgotten.

On February 18th, we began our Lenten journey together. Early in the morning we offered Ashes to Go at Crosswicks, and later we gathered for our joint Ash Wednesday service at Groveville. It was a beautiful time of reflection, prayer, silence, and repentance.

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.
