Each week while we practice social distancing, we post a video worship service. For Sunday, May 10th, Pastor Kim’s message reflected on John 14: 1-10 that starts with “Do not let your hearts be troubled.” Within the message, she talks about UM ARMY, which stands for United Methodist Action Reach-out Mission by Youth, the summer week-long mission project our church has done the previous ten summers.

For Maundy Thursday and Good Friday, Pastor Kim offered an online worship service for safe at home observance of Maundy Thursday, Good Friday or both.

During this 27 min service, we encountered through art and dialog four people who had front row seats in this incredible real-life drama of Jesus last hours: Mary, sister of Martha and Lazarus and friend of Jesus; Judas; a Roman soldier; and Salome, one of the inner circle of women disciples who followed Jesus. We sing two hymns, “Were You There” and “Servant Song”, and have time for silent prayer.
