We live in confusing times, don't we.  We're living during a devastating pandeminc that has affected the whole world, and witnessing unrest and violence as poeple across our country protest the recent killing of George Floyd.  In the midst of all this, it is no wonder why people are asking the question, "Where is God?"  Where is God when your world falls apart? That's a question Habakkuk wrestled with 2500 years ago.  On June 7, Pastor Doug will us lead through the struggles of, Habakkuk who was dealing with the same question in his own time.  Let's join him on his journey as we learn to have faith in God when even life itself makes no sense.

     June 7:  "When God Doesn't Make Sense" Hab. 1:1-11

     June 14:  "Questions for God". Hab. 1:12-2:4

     June 21:  "The Just Shall; Live By Faith"  Hab. 2:4, Romans 1:17

     June 28:  "Choices" Hab. 2

     July 5:  "When You Feel Like Quitting"   Hab. 3

The lead team of WGUMC and Pastor Doug has reviewed the recommendations given to churches from the West Ohio Annual Conference of the UMC, and local health officials. We have set a resumption of in person worship for May 24, 2020. In. order for this this to happen, we will, for a while, go to 3 worship services -- 8:00am, 9:30am and 11:15 am, and no Sunday school.  We will aslo continue with a Facebook live service at 10:15 am.  For a time, there will be some important changes to worship services, and it is important to review these recommendations and guidelines before attending an in person worship service. We are aware that many of these changes might seem "strange" and "unusual" however it is important for us to follow them for personal safety, mutual respect, and liability reasons.

If you plan to attend, it is important that you review these guidelines and do your best to adhere to them to the best of your ability. If we are not able to hold in person meetings within these guidelines we maybe forced to have to discontinue in person services until a later date. We understand there are rather strong opinions on the social restrictions we have had to endure during these days, however as an organization we have to follow certain guidelines and your cooperation is requested. Also keep in mind that these changes are not forever, and hopefully only exist for a short period of time.
