Sermon, June 22: Pastor Heather Connor leads a 3-week series, “Flourish.”


Every calling, every story, every season of growth begins with a “seed.” As we begin our ministry together, I’ll share glimpses of my own journey: from childhood wonder with dandelions to a vision of God’s kin(g)dom, wild and flourishing. God is always planting something beautiful that often grows where it’s least expected. May our beginning together be filled with the Holy promise of surprising seeds.

UMCG is Staying United Methodist

Across the nation and around the globe, The United Methodist Church –one of the largest Christian Protestant denominations with twelve million members worldwide- is starting to look more un-tied than united. Hundreds of local churches are voting to leave the denomination over key cultural and doctrinal issues – primarily over LGBTQ rights and inclusion. Read the rest of our statement here.

CARING FOR CREATION

In our commitment to work to be more sustainable, UMC of Geneva has replaced our aging HVAC system with a geothermal one. But that’s not the only thing we are doing!
