Hello!  Thanks for checking out the website for Green Mountain UMC!
I am out of the office until March 9, 2010, following surgery.  I'm recovering well at home and look forward to being back with our congregation very soon.

==========================================================
We're now in the season of Lent--40 days of preparation for the celebration of Easter resurrection.  Steve Walden, our church's Program Director, is leading the worship services on Feb. 21, 28 and March 7.  The United Methodist Women are leading the worship service on March 14, with Hamunyari Chigwada Mukarakate speaking about women's faith in Zimbabwe.  The Children will help lead the service on March 21.

Holy Week will be a powerfully emotional and spiritual experience:
PALM SUNDAY--March 28--9am & 10:30am Worship Services
    7:00pm AFRICAN CHILDREN'S CHOIR--their unbelievable energy and enthusiasm will be a wonderful Holy Week kickoff

LIVING LAST SUPPER--Thursday, April 1, 7:00pm--Leonardo daVinci's painting comes to life as each disciple tells the story of his relationship with Jesus

GOOD FRIDAY TENEBRAE SERVICE--Friday, April 2, 7:00pm
     A worship service commemorating the arrest and crucifixion of Jesus--a deeply meaningful preparation for the coming joy of Easter

EASTER SUNDAY, April 4, 9:00 and 10:30am-- Worship Celebrations with choir, hand bells, and an uplifting message.
 
I pray you will delve into Holy Week with us, and find renewal for your spirit--
You can find additional worship info on our "Calendar" page.

Can't wait to see you at church!
Blessings and Peace,

Pastor Jean Schwien
