Weekly Gatherings after Worship

Each week after worship we meet in the Gathering Area outside the Sanctuary to enjoy some delicious homemade goodies and beverages.  Many thanks to those who make this happen each week. 

Please join us for that time of fellowship. 

       New Roof

       Information on roof replacement is on the bulletin board in the

       hall outside the sanctuary. Funds from the Albree account are

      targeted to pay for re-roofing during the month of June.

     Congregation members may also help by contributing to the

     maintenance fund – “Roof”.

We welcome Reverend Gerald Davis to TUMC!

The Holy Spirit at Work in Your Life………..

Where is the Holy Spirit today?

When we recognize the Spirit evident in love, we begin to see a witness to the Spirit across our United Methodist connection. We observe evidence of the Spirit in our practice of the three General Rules: To do no harm, do good, and attend to the ordinances of God.

Often, the Spirit prompts us to do something. When we feel a pull to check-in on a neighbor, we might attribute that to the work of the Spirit. Or when we spontaneously lift our voices in prayer for a hurting loved one, we call that a movement of the Spirit. But the Holy Spirt might also call us into inaction: inviting us to love by not participating in systems of harm.

In the same way, we witness the Spirit moving us towards acts of goodness. The compulsion we feel to feed a stranger’s expired parking meter might be evidence of the Spirit. So, too, is the shared support received by United Methodist disaster relief workers at work in hurricane-ravaged areas.

Here’s to the bridge-builders, the hand-holders, the light-bringers, those extraordinary souls wrapped in ordinary lives who quietly weave threads of humanity into an inhumane world.  They are the unsung heroes in a world at war with itself.  They are the whisperers of hope that peace is possible. 

Look for them in this present darkness. Light your candle with their flame.

 And then go. Build bridges. Hold hands.  Bring light to a dark and desperate world. 

Be the hero you are looking for. Peace is possible.  It begins with us.

                                                                                                      ~L. R. Knost~

Jesus said to them, “The light is with you for a little longer. Walk while you have the light, lest the darkness overtake you; he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes. 36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.”
