Tuesday, April 30: Jane Graner, Senior Pastor at Trinity United Methodist Church in Duncanville, Texas and Greg Neil, Senior Pastor at Grace United Methodist Church in Des Moines, Iowa give a wrap up of their 2nd day at the United Methodist General Conference. They talk about several very important items on the Consent Calendar that got passed today. One was the lifting of a prohibition of a rule that prohibited the funding of LGBQ+ missions, affirming ministries of any kind including with food and clothing assistance and teen suicide prevention among other things.  Other regulations were overturned like the ability to file a complaint against a Bishop for performing an ordination of and LBGQ+ person.  They also give us a look a issues being considered at tomorrows conference.  Stay tuned for more updates to come.

It’s thought by many that to be a good Christian or believe in the Bible means we have to reject the findings of modern science, or if you’re a person of science,  there’s no way you can believe in God.  But what if God speaks to us in both the revelation of faith and and in the wonder of the natural world?  We’ll explore this and other questions in our next sermon series, “A Total Eclipse of the Sun: Science in the Service of God”  Starting April 14 at 11 am.

Today we welcome guest preacher and international missionary Erin Duplechin. Erin also happens to be Jane’s niece. Join us for the message “Bearing Fruit: Moving From Doing to Being.”

Often when we walk through a forest amongst the trees, we can feel the Creator’s presence. Each tree tells a story. Three trees in particular can reveal to us the story of God’s love, mercy, and grace—which is the story of Easter.  Join us for the message “A Tale of Three Trees.”
