GREEN MEADOW
UNITED METHODIST CHURCH
Counterculture
October 5 - November 2
Our world is full of messages about success, security, and status. We’re told to hold tightly, accumulate more, and measure our value by comparison. But what if the way of Christ leads us in a completely different direction?
​
This fall, we will launch a four-week series called Counterculture — a call to live generously, love deeply, and root our identity not in the world’s expectations, but in God’s transforming grace.
​
Rooted in the Wesleyan and United Methodist tradition, this series will challenge us to resist the pressures of consumerism and scarcity-thinking. Instead, we’ll explore what it means to be people of compassion, humility, action, and generosity. Each week, we’ll look at scripture that highlights how followers of Jesus are invited to live by a different standard — one shaped by God’s love, not by cultural norms.

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.

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!
