Maybe life got busy, or the pandemic changed the landscape of your worship. Whatever the reason, we'd be happy to have you back with us! Here's a simple rundown to get you back in the swing of things! What's New This Lenten Season, Pastor Chris will lead an exploration entitled "Together on the Way." "The Christian faith is often thought of as agreeing to a set of beliefs, or doctrines. Not that our words are unimportant, but what it is really about, at its core, is trusting in and following a way of life in the world. A way of life handed on to us by Jesus. This Lenten season we’re going to explore some tools for catching onto this way of life. What might that look like here at LUMC? Let’s find out…Together on the Way." Learn More Here What's the Same We are an inclusive and affirming congregation. Everyone is welcome to worship and actively participate in the life of our church.

All are welcome to participate in Lent at LUMC. From discussions to sacred services, there are many ways to commemorate this special time... A Lenten Message "The Christian faith is often thought of as agreeing to a set of beliefs, or doctrines. Not that our words are unimportant, but what it is really about, at its core, is trusting in and following a way of life in the world. A way of life handed on to us by Jesus. His early followers actually called it The Way, and they saw it as something worth dying—and truly living—for. This Lenten season we’re going to explore some tools for catching onto this way of life. If it is, indeed, a lifestyle that is “caught, not just taught,” then there are likely some things we can build into our lives, personally and as an extended church family, to help us live it…and to show the world around us how and why it is worth living." -Pastor Chris Lenten Schedule We welcome everyone to our church to celebrate the Lenten season with us!
