Pastoral Transition Sermon Series - "Grace in the Changing Winds"

 

Grace in the Changing Winds Series Image.jpg

“Change is good… You go first!” It's human nature to resist change. Our instincts seek stability, but the sacred story reveals that transformation is at the heart of God’s work. Change is how God grows gardens, shapes prophets, and even forms communities like ours. As we enter a new chapter in our church’s life, we lean into the wisdom of Scripture and the guidance of the Spirit to become more resilient, faithful, and open-hearted. Through this three-week series, we’ll discover how God meets us in change, not just to help us cope, but to help us flourish.

Trinity Sunday

 Sunday, June 15 | â€‹FUMC Sanctuary | 10:00 a.m. 

"Learning to Let Go"

Guest Speaker Robby Cain

Romans 5:1-5; John 16:12-15 (NIV)

61525 Sermon Title.jpg

On Sunday we honor the sacred mystery of the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—and the transforming power of divine relationship. We begin our series with a hard truth: all growth requires letting go. Even Jesus told his disciples there was more truth to come—truth they weren’t ready for. Change can unsettle us, but the Spirit guides us into deeper truth, and grace sustains us in the letting go.

Children's Sunday School Lesson

"Philip and the Ethiopian"

Press the play button to view this week's Sunday School Video!

This month we'll learn about the Holy Spirit and how it guides the followers of Jesus. This week's story is about a man named Philip. The Spirit led him to a road heading to a place called Gaza. While he was on the road, he met a man from Ethiopia. Why do you think the Spirit led Philip to go where the Ethiopian was?

Today's Blessing:

Dear God,

Thank You for the Holy Spirit. Help me to feel how close You always are to me. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Childcare is available on Sunday mornings for ages birth to 4 years & Kinder to 5th Grade
