Worship Ideas and Resources

A playlist? For the season of Lent? A Lenten playlist? What an odd idea. Many of us, however, find music a helpful tool for contemplation. So, we offer this playlist as another tool for your worship experience this season.

Discipleship Ministries wants to help you raise your congregation’s awareness of our collective responsibility to care for the creation God has entrusted to us.

Learn how fresh expressions make disciples and multiply through intimate community, a space where Jesus spent most of his time.

Hope in Action

We are called to respond to others with extraordinary grace. UMCOR Sunday is an opportunity to extend extraordinary grace by supporting the work behind this vital ministry.

The UMCOR Sunday special offering ensures that 100% of donations designated for a specific UMCOR project go directly to that cause, with no portion used for administrative costs

UMCOR extends critical aid to communities and individuals through local partnerships. By giving on UMCOR Sunday, we sustain this life changing ministry and make a lasting impact. Your gift turns hope into action.
