Fourth Sunday in Lent
Psalm 137:1-6 | John 11:23-25
Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People?
It is difficult to understand how God could allow the pain and suffering we see in the world and in our own lives. Jesus is Emmanuel, "God with Us". Jesus reminds us that a better question to ask ourselves is, “What can I do to help those who are suffering and in pain?”

Fifth Sunday in Lent
Psalm 103:8-14 | Matthew 6:9-15
How and Why Do I Forgive?
Forgiveness frees us from resentment and turmoil. God, who knows us inside out, sees where our mistakes and failings come from. God loves us through it all, offers forgiveness as a gift, and shows us how to extend it to others.
We Aim to be Open and Welcoming
Even to the Smallest People...
In the back of the sanctuary, we have children's bulletins, paper, crayons, and books for children to use during worship.
We also have a moment in worship that is child-friendly called "Wondering Time." Anyone who wishes to get a closer view during our time to wonder about things is welcome to come sit on the front pew.
Recorded Services
YOU ARE WELCOME HERE ...
Whether you label yourself a "Christian," or are uncertain whether you believe in anything anymore, you are welcome to worship at Green Meadow United Methodist Church. Single, married, partnered, divorced, gay, rich, poor, USAmerican, or immigrant, you are welcome here. Burned out on religion -- whether organized or disorganized -- bedraggled and hungover, addicted or in recovery, just out of jail,
you are welcome here. Have no idea about Holy Communion, hymnals, or when to stand or sit? Don't worry, we all have to begin somewhere. The most important thing is to begin.
We're glad you're here!

God's mission of love.
