After careful discussion, the Administrative Council of WGUMC and Pastor Doug have set a resumption of in person worship and Sunday school for Sunday, January 24, 2021. We will continue proper social distancing, and encourage all who are able to wear masks throughout the worship service, and that if you are exhibiting any symptoms of Covid19 (Fever or chills, Cough, Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, Fatigue, Muscle or body aches, Headache, New loss of taste or smell, Sore throat, Congestion or runny nose or Nausea or vomiting) to please stay home and seek medical attention.  Also, if you are in a high risk category, please stay considering staying home and watch the service online.

As I talk with people, one question I seem to be running into over and over again is:  "What do United Methodists believe?"

I come up against this in many ways, though maybe not as overtly as those words themselves.  It happens in the hallways, in Sunday School classes, in the parking lots after worship.  One of the problems in the UMC narrative, is that through our own doings, the message of Methodism has become watered down. 

We're the church that believes everything.  Our founder, Mr. Wesley, would argue against that, to be sure.

There's been a dearth of less-than-Wesleyan teaching across the board in our United Methodist Church, so Pastor Doug going to the source of our denomination's founder to seek out what we really believe.

For each Sunday, there's a scripture and a  featured sermon by John Wesley (which is also the title for the message of the day).
