A Message from Pastor Nick 

Welcome to Goodrich United Methodist Church! Our roots in this community date back to 1836. While our name and buildings have changed, our belief in God's grace for all remains the same.  Today, we are a welcoming congregation where everyone can worship freely. At GUMC, we recognize that we are all God’s children—including you. Through worship, study, and service, we strive to grow in faith and share God’s love with our neighbors.  If you seek a church where you can truly be yourself, I invite you to join us. No matter your background, GUMC is a place to rest your soul and embrace your identity as a beloved child of God. Hope to see you soon!

-Pastor Nick Berlanga -

What's Happening at GUMC

Sermon for Sunday, September 20:
Sometimes the simplest stories have the biggest lessons.  We jump to the end of the children's tale of Jonah and the whale, and discover what happens when we let our guard down against hate.  Learn how a little discomfort can turn into a crisis if we're looking for a reason to get upset.

Jonah 3:10-4:11
The wait is finally over! Please join us on Saturday, September 26th for the long awaited “Dinner with Friends.” A community outreach event in Our Family Life Center, which will be transformed into an elegant and affordable evening, complete with white clothed table and chinaware.
 
Enjoy a roast pork and sauerkraut dinner, served by our friendly staff, with all the fixings including homemade pie for dessert.
 
Come and bring your friends and family. Saturday September 26, 5pm to 8pm, $20 for adults and $15 for children under 12 years old.

Sunday School Begins Sunday, September 20! Fall is just around the corner, and that means it’s time for Sunday School at GUMC! We’re excited to welcome everyone back for another year of learning, growing, and connecting in faith.

Preschool through 5th Grade: Children will explore the basics of Bible stories and learn more about God’s love in fun and engaging ways.

Adult Sunday School: Adults will dive into the New Testament using Disciple Fast Track. Be sure to see Pastor Nick to get your book before class begins.
 
We hope you’ll join us on September 20. Sunday School starts at 11:00 am.
Our next Scrip fundraiser orders will be collected Sunday, October 4.  Please be sure to submit your order by Sunday, as we are unable to accept late orders. Orders must be submitted to the Scrip company on Monday so gift cards will be ready for pickup Sunday, October 11.

If you’re unfamiliar with GUMC Scrip, it’s an easy way to support a wonderful ministry while purchasing gift cards you can use for everyday shopping, dining, and more. You purchase gift cards at face value from participating retailers, and GUMC receives a percentage of each purchase at no additional cost to you.

Proceeds from Scrip support our United Women in Faith’s Ugly Quilt Ministry, helping purchase bedding and supplies to make quilts for people experiencing homelessness.

Orders can be dropped off at church or emailed to the church office. Printed order forms are also available at church. Thank you for supporting this meaningful ministry! Order forms can be found in the wire basket on the United Women in Faith Bulletin Board or online here.
Strength In Numbers Donations: Donations will be picked up at the end of September! We’re joining St. Mark’s in collecting paper products and laundry supplies to support local veterans and their families. Because these essential household items are not provided through government food assistance programs, every donation can make a meaningful difference. Help us show God’s love in action by adding an item to our collection before the end of September!
