Welcome
“The Church is not a group of people who believe all the same things; the Church is a group of people caught up in the same story, with Jesus at the center."

Lent 2026 Series: Coming Back to Life
Mar 15, 2026 - 4th Sunday in Lent: Seeing Clearly
Texts: John 9:1-38; 1 Samuel 16:5-13
Lent is a season of coming back to life. Over these weeks we’ve been talking about some of the forces that quietly drain life from us. In Week 1 we faced shame and the ways it pushes us into hiding. In Week 2 we named fear and the way it keeps us small. This week we go deeper… to an issue beneath the issues… because beneath shame and fear are often the distorted stories we carry about ourselves.
In this week’s service, entitled Seeing Clearly, we’ll explore how those internal stories shape our lives. In John 9, Jesus heals a man born blind and challenges the assumptions people have made about him his entire life. In 1 Samuel 16, David is overlooked by everyone… except God. Together these stories invite us to rethink the stories that we live by: What if the story I believe about myself isn’t the truest story? And what if God sees something different… something so much more beautiful?
Join us this week as we continue our Lenten journey and learn what it might mean to see ourselves (and one another) through God’s eyes.
There is no video service available for this week's service. If you'd like a manuscript of the sermon and a copy of the bulletin, please email contactMUMC@gmail.com.
If you would like to view a past service online, they are all archived here.
