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"

Community Movie Night - "The Way"

February 22, 5:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m.

It’s time for another quarterly movie night, and we’ll be going with something a bit different this time around in preparation for the Lenten season. We’ll be watching “The Way” (PG-13)* and enjoying a taco dinner together - and everyone's invited! For more info, contact Andy Millman. Click here to register for the screening.

*The film is rated PG-13 for themes about grief and loss, and for brief scenes of on-screen drinking and smoking. Children under 13 are welcome, but must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

SUNDAY MORNINGS

We gather every Sunday at 8:30 and 11:00 am to worship God. The morning service is held in the Sanctuary that is filled with light coming through 14 breathtaking stained glass windows. Our services are traditional, with a progressive, modern feel.
