During June, the Church office will be open at the following times: Monday-Wednesday 8:30-11:30am AND 1:30-3pm. Thursdays 8:3-11:30am ONLY. The Office is closed on Fridays. The church phone and email will automatically forward to John's cell outside of these hours and your call will be returned as soon as possible.
Praying for our Pastors
As we transition from Pastor Kathleen to Pastor Cody, we are asking the congregation and community to hold them both up in prayer.

Gracious God, as we say farewell to Pastor Kathleen and Scott, we entrust them into your care. We pray for happiness and joy to be ahead of them, for wisdom and guidance to be beside them, and for grace and truth to be behind them, pushing them onwards into your goodness. We know that you will always love and protect them, wherever they go. Amen.

Gracious and loving God, we thank you for the gift of Pastor Cody . Bless him as he prepares his ministry with us in Weston. Send your Holy Spirit upon him. Help him to discern your will for Weston United Methodist. May his heart be on fire with love for your people. Grant him the wisdom, understanding, and strength he needs to follow in the footsteps of Jesus. Inspire him with the vision of your Kingdom. Guide him as he brings that vision to life in our community. Give him the words he needs to spread the Gospel message. Allow him to experience and share the joy of his ministry. Help him to become an instrument of your grace and to share that grace with all those he encounters. We ask this through Jesus Christ. Amen.

Baldy Darnay Celebration of Life
A celebration of life service will be held on Sunday, June 23rd AFTER the 11am service. Come and share in reflecting on the infectious joy and faith we came to know as Baldy. Please continue to hold Peggy and the family in your prayers during this season of grief.
