We are praying for Wilma Ramming and her family. Charles Ramming passed away on March 13. His memorial service will be in our sanctuary on Monday, March 30 at 2:00 pm. A short reception will follow.

On Maundy Thursday, April 2, the sanctuary will be open from noon till 2:00pm. Seven different prayer stations will be available, along with a printed guide to point the way. The stations can be visited in any order. These are the stations:
John 13: Washing the Disciples' Feet
Mark 14: Anointing at Bethany
Matthew 26: Thirty Pieces of Silver
Luke 22: Peter's Denial
Luke 23: Reflections on the Cross
Mark 14: Communion

You may spend as much time at each station as you wish. Guided prayer exercises will deepen your experience of walking the road to the cross with Jesus. Please come and share in this special time of reflection and prayer.

On Good Friday, April 3, at 7:00pm, we'll gather in the sanctuary for worship. This is the day Jesus dies on the cross. Our time of worship will be somber and reflective. Our choir will sing a special anthem over us. We'll have seven devotions at the foot of the cross. As we hear about Jesus' last breath, darkness will descend. We'll depart in silence.

Throughout Lent, we are partnering with other area United Methodist congregations to support Rise Against Hunger, a global ministry committed to ending hunger by providing nutritious meals and sustainable food solutions to communities facing food insecurity. Thanks to your generosity so far, we have raised $7,000 toward our $10,000 goal! This is a wonderful testament to the spirit of prayer, sacrifice, and generosity that defines this season.
 
There is still time to participate! Whether it’s giving up a daily coffee, a meal out, or some other small thing, please consider directing those funds to this truly life-changing mission. I am so excited for our May 3rd meal packing event, where we will be volunteering to package over 21,000 meals for communities around the world. Let’s keep the momentum going and meet this need together!

Spring Break Mission Dayz 2026…when God’s plans are bigger than yours!

Our group spent our entire 4 days living out the focus verse for day 1, Galatians 6:2, “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” We did an afternoon shift at the Urban Mission in OKC, lifting their burden of sorting, shelving, and bagging groceries for the next week’s food distribution. We also helped the Bolivian Mission team sort and package medicine for their upcoming Medical Mission Trip. We not only lifted the burden of hours of work, we also gave them an uninterrupted space for 3 days. And last but definitely not least, we assisted a family in clearing out their mother’s belongings from her apartment at Legacy.

We didn’t just clean an apartment. With every box and every piece of furniture removed, we lifted their burden. We met the daughter and son-in-law of longtime member Dot Turman the day after their final goodbye, in the midst of their grief, the pressure of a deadline, the uncertainties that go along with living far away, and the helplessness of feeling overwhelmed. It wasn’t on our carefully planned project list, nor were we prepared for the task at hand. But after being suggested as a group that could give a little help, and after meeting them and seeing the impossible task ahead of them, we committed to clearing out the entire apartment!

And that we did! Result? They gave us everything with the suggestion to sell it all and keep the proceeds. What a generous gift! We’re thankful and are going to make the most of it. Big praise to our youth who worked so hard and so generously!

Dot had an estate sale 5 years ago when she moved from her home into Legacy. What we have is the most valuable of her fascinating and valuable furnishings, art, and collectibles. She was a prolific professional artist; she was also a collector. The Turmans (Dot & E.J.) were an integral part of this church for many, many, years.

We encourage you to come by and take a look! We’re figuring things out as we go. We want to liquidate items quickly but don't want to squander this wonderful gift! If you’re interested in looking or buying, Janelda and Gabe will be upstairs FLC most of the day Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Contact us if you plan to come by or have questions!
