A Note From Pastor Robyne
Hello Friends,
Each year the United Methodist Church selects 6 Sundays for special offerings. One Great Hour of Sharing, previously known as
UMCOR Sunday is March 30.
Originally founded in 1940 in response to displaced and vulnerable populations in the wake of World War II, The United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) is a ministry of The United Methodist Church through the General Board of Global Ministries. Their goal is to assist the most vulnerable people affected by crisis or chronic need without regard to their race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. We believe all people have God-given worth and dignity.
There will be a basket to collect an offering to support UMCOR. This offering taken on Sunday (you can also give online through our website) enables the United Methodist Committee on Relief to reach out through worldwide ministries of food, shelter, health and peace. This once-a-year offering covers all the administrative costs for United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR). That means, when you write a check out for $50.00 and earmark it for Haiti, 100% percent of your $50.00 goes to Haiti. Many organizations earmark a percentage of your money to cover their overhead costs, not the United Methodist Church. They take great care and pride in not only helping people, but also in being good stewards of your offering. Please be generous and support “The One Great Hour of Sharing on March 30.
Sunday our message is, "I'm Fixed Upon it" and the scriptures that support the message comes from Matthew 16:21-23 and Psalm 107:1-3,17-22.
Join us Sunday at 10am in person or online.
God bless you
Pastor Robyne

UMH #400 "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing"
Prayer of Illumination
Holy God,
For generations people have bowed their heads,
have prayed the Psalms,
have asked for your presence in their lives.
For generations people have whispered,
“May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart
be acceptable and pleasing to you, O God.”
For generations we have gathered here,
we have quieted our minds,
we have prayed to feel your presence in our midst.
So once again, just as the generations before,
we turn our hearts to your Word.
Still our busy minds so that we might truly comprehend
what you have to say to us today.
With joy and hope we pray, Amen.

UMH #95 "Doxology"
Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heav’nly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen
Prayer:
Holy God, we bring our gifts to your altar this morning, remembering that Jesus told us that if we were truly to be his disciples we would need to “deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow.” It’s tempting to try to follow, without taking the cross; or to try to follow, without denying ourselves. More often, we seek to simply take the name of “Christian” without the denying, the taking of the cross, or the following. Guide us, Lord, on this journey of discipleship. Use these gifts, and use us. In our Savior’s holy name, we pray. Amen.
Closing Song: UMH #341 "In the Garden"

Lenten Sermon Series
This Lent, we are focusing on the life and faith of one of Jesus’ most famous disciples. In Peter, we see a person who is both steadfast and unsteady, a dear friend and a betrayer, a follower and a wanderer. In Peter, we often see ourselves. By following Peter’s journey, we watch the story of Jesus unfold through the eyes of a very normal human trying to figure it all out—just like us
