What's Happening at Main Street
Lenten Bible Studies
Remember - God's Covenant and the Cross
Tuesdays, Feb 22 - March 31
God’s covenants throughout the Old Testament show the character of God’s promises to the people of Israel. In this book, Susan Robb leads readers through the covenants with Noah, Abraham, Moses, and David, followed by the new covenant established on Maundy Thursday. The Lenten story culminates with an examination of the cross as another example of God’s promise for a new world. To learn more or get involved, please reach out to Pastor Rich or Holly Richardson.
Women's Weekday Study - Sacred Stillness: A Lenten Devotion Journal
Thursdays, Feb 19 - March 26 at 11:00am
Find calm and meaning in this Lenten season with the Sacred Stillness devotional journal. Created especially for those seeking a pause in their busy lives, this forty-day journal invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with your faith daily. Every day, you are led through a theme, a focus scripture, a reading or reflection, a short prayer or spiritual practice exercise, and writing prompts based on the day’s topic. We will meet weekly to discuss our journey, and to share quiet, “sacred stillness” together. Contact Holly to sign-up or for additional information.
2026 Stewardship Theme
With a new calendar year comes the opportunity to re-evaluate and re-focus our ministry efforts here at Main St UMC, and after careful consideration the Stewardship Team has chosen to adapt the new denominational vision statement released by the United Methodist Church as our own congregational theme for 2026.
"Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we will love boldly, serve joyfully, and lead courageously in our local communities and across our worldwide connection"
Open Sanctuary Hours
Every Wednesday of Lent, 12:00-1:00pm
We will have the sanctuary open to the general public every Wednesday during Lent as a time for midday prayer and reflection. Come experience God in the space as we journey through the Lenten season. If you’d like to help offer hospitality on these days, please contact a staff member.
