What’s Happening

Few stories stay with us as much as that of the prodigal son. Let’s explore why this is such an impactful parable, and how it teaches us to find joy.

Psalm 32, Luke 15:1-3, 11-32

Join us on Friday, April 11th, for our “DINNER WITH FRIENDS” community outreach event. Building on the success of this past year’s Dinner with Friends events, this dining experience provides an opportunity for church members and our local community to come together for an elegant, affordable evening. Our April Event will feature a “Pot Roast Dinner” and a full accompaniment of sides, pie, and beverages.

Once again, our Family Life Center will be transformed into an up-scale restaurant. The sit-down dinner setting will feature decorations, table cloths, wait staff, dimmed lighting, and background music. Costs for the meal are $18 for adults and $10 for Children. Take out will also be available.

Reserve your spot and time today by clicking here or contacting the Church office at 810-241-8887; office@goodrichumc.org.

Pictures from our previous events can be found here.

Caring for Our Community: We are called to care for all of God’s children, wherever they may be. United Women in Faith believe in taking action to improve the lives of women, children, and families.

Our ongoing mission of making sleeping bags for those in need requires supplies. Right now, we need sheets and neckties to secure the bags, which are sent to Strength in Numbers and Love Inc., Lapeer. We create 4–5 bags per week, each including a health kit.

You can help by donating clean items for a health kit or contributing to Goodrich UWF. We also recycle blankets, comforters, bed pads, and fabric (half a yard or more) and purchase health kit items from dollar stores. Costs have risen, with costs reaching over $3,000 per year. Monetary donations are appreciated and receipted.

Please spread the word—this ministry need continues to grow!

Christ Around the World: Join us during Wednesday’s during Lent as we journey around the world hearing stories of where people see Christ.

We will gather at GUMC for fellowship and refreshments from 5:00 – 6:00 pm then at 6:00 pm we will explore together. Our final two meetings are April 2 and 9.

Please contact the church office if you have any questions.

Our youth and adult Sunday School continues this week on our New Testament journey.
