                               Communion

         As United Methodists, we practice an open table: all who
    believe in Christ, whether United Methodist or another
    denomination, are welcome to fully participate in this
    Sacrament.  
         This is truly the Lord's table, open to all on their journey
    of faith.  Children are welcome to receive.  We use grape
    juice so for those whom alcohol is a difficulty will not be
    prevented from receiving.  We have rice crackers  in the
    center of each tray, so for those whom gluten is an issue
    may also receive.
         Bring your children and kneel at the Lord's Table
    together as a family the first Sunday of each month.

                            Transfiguration

           All over this magnificent world, God calls us to extend
    his kingdom of    shalom-peace and wholeness—of justice,
    of goodness, of compassion, of caring, of sharing, of
    laughter, of joy, of reconciliation. God is transfiguring the
    world right this very moment through us because God
    believes in us and because God loves us.
            What can separate us from the love of God? Nothing.
    Absolutely nothing. And as we share God’s love with our
    brothers and sisters, God’s other children, there is no
    tyrant who can resist us, no opposition that cannot be
    ended, no hunger that cannot be fed, no wound that cannot
    be healed, no hatred that cannot be turned into love, no
    dream that cannot be fulfilled.
