    Touch Grass: Part 3 (Graduation Sunday)

    As we begin summer, it may be time for many of us to “touch grass” again. This Gen Z phrase usually means stepping away from the noise and reconnecting with reality. Together we will explore the five emotions often connected to grief: anger, denial, acceptance, bargaining, and sadness to consider how God meets us in those feelings. Consider this a spiritual invitation to step out of the doom-scrolling and return to what is real and life-giving: to God’s presence, to honest emotion, to meaningful relationships, and to the beauty of creation in summertime. Week by week, we will discover that the gospel does not shame our grief or rush us past it, but meets us right in the middle of it, with love and hope.

    Living Into Community--Living Truthfully

    In a world reshaped by isolation, digital distraction, and division, how do we "do" community well? Join us this Sunday as Pastor Fred Vanderwerf continues his four-part series, "Living Into Community." Drawing from the work of Christine Pohl and the Methodist tradition, Fred explores how community serves as a vital "means of grace" that transforms us. Having already explored gratitude and promise-keeping, this week’s message, "Living Truthfully," dives into the power of integrity and the hidden costs of duplicity. Come flex your community muscles and discover how Christ works through us when we choose to live authentically together.  Text NEW to 507-575-4222 to connect with Hilltop United Methodist Church.
