Worship at Epworth UMC

 How do we know what is true? Did God speak thousands of years ago, and then stop? Is God still speaking? Join us as we hear the message of God's prophets in the Bible, and see what they have to say to us today.  

We want deeper relationships with God and with each other, and the rich, full life that comes with it, but we feel like we just don't have the time, energy, or resources to devote to it. Join us to confront and overcome our "buts', and find the abundant life Jesus promises.

It's a time when we prepare our lives—hearts, minds, and spirits—for the coming of the Christ child. We sweep out the corners of our hearts, cleaning up the clutter, to make space for God's hope, peace, joy, love, and presence. Inspired by the book by Beth A. Richardson.

Methodists seek out answers about God, ourselves, and the major questions our day using Scripture, tradition, reason, and experience. Also, baseball!

Epworth teams up again this year with the historic Fallon Theatre to show free movies! And then, on the following Sundays, we talk together about each movie as a modern day parable. This year's movies are Star Wars: the Last Jedi, O Brother Where Art Thou, Disney's Tarzan, and Field of Dreams.

The Bible and our lives today are full of broken people, restored, repurposed, and redeemed. What can God do in your life?

Outcasts welcomed. Broken made whole, Righteous humbled. Powerful challenged.  Lost ones found. Jesus' life and ministry builds a Kingdom completely different from what people then and now expected.

A Biblical guide to loving one another.

Christianity, Judaism, and Islam all come from the same root. This series explores how we are similar, how we are different, and what we can learn from each other.

Modern parables are all around us! Watch the movie, and then in worship we talk together about where God shows up.

Second only to Jesus himself, Paul is probably the one person who played the most significant role in establishing the Christian faith. Using the book of Acts and Paul's own letters, we travel with him and learn about his life, his conversion, his faith, and what we can learn from him today.

 The Resurrection is only the beginning. As he did when he appeared to his disciples to comfort, inspire, heal, and love them, so Jesus does for us. Join us to go beyond the motions, beyond appearances to deeper faith, greater hope, fuller life.

Follow Jesus' ministry told in the Gospel of Mark, and reawaken to the extravagant, overflowing, unreasonable 

love of God.

"For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength." 1 Corinthians 1:25

From the very first sentence, Mark's Gospel is a story of beginnings. Explore with us the ways Jesus breaks into our story, and makes everything new.

The arrival of the Magi, and a special guest sermon about the God's great love in Jesus Christ.

As we wait with hushed anticipation for the birth of the Messiah, we tell that old, old story once again and give thanks for hope, joy, love, and peace.

A little bit of history, a little bit of theology, a little bit of music, and a whole lot of celebrating food, fun, and friendship as some of the best parts of a family of faith.

With Rev Robert Fulghum's book as our inspiration, the simple biblical truths that form the foundation for a whole, healthy life.

Life is so much better when we have a community of mutual love and support around us. This sermon series explores the best ways to develop those blessings in the present, and into the future.

Prepare the ground. Plant the seeds, Nourish and water them. Watch them grow, and produce fruit, to make more seeds, to plant more trees! This series explores what happens in us and in the world when we follow God and cultivate our faith.
