First United Methodist Church of Santa Monica

We have two wonderful opportunities for worship this weekend, Sunday morning from the sanctuary and Sunday evening Worship on the Lawn in the Courtyard at 5 pm. Both invite us to come together in soul and spirit to remember who we are. We are a vibrant, faithful community of God’s beloved childrenpraising God, growing in love, reaching out in faithful service here and around the world. We are part of something bigger than ourselves, something lasting and enduring, something... holy and beautiful and true. I look forward to worshipping with you this weekend. Rev. Patricia Farris #santamonicaumc #OnlineWorship #FacebookLive

One of the things I love most about this church is that we are never alone. When someone is hurting in this community, you show up with cards and casseroles and your loving presence. When COVID forces us out of the sanctuary, you show up online. When it comes time to set the budget each year, you show up with generosity. One of the things I love most about the Church is that on our hardest days and our longest nights, we are never alone. Job needed his friends. Paul needed Ti...mothy. Jesus needed the disciples. We need each other. Come join us this Sunday for Church on the Lawn at 5pm. Come join us, look around and give thanks. Blessings, Tricia

Visio Divina Bible Study tomorrow morning! We will look at our Scripture (in Job and 2 Timothy) for this Sunday's Church on the Lawn. Through our readings, we're reminded that often in the face of hurt, what people really need is not a list of advice or solutions, but the simple presence of love. Grab your coffee and join us on Zoom for 30 minutes of scripture, art, reflection and time together in community as we dwell in God's loving presence.
