Worship is catching our breath in the busyness of living. It is that moment when we pause and reflect and remember who we are and whose we are. We need selah moments [moments to stop and listen] in our lives daily.
Each Sunday morning, we gather together at 9am to worship God, who is Creator, Redeemer and the One who Sustains. For those who cannot attend in person, we livestream to our Facebook page: Facebook.com/GUMCMesa and prior services can be found on our Youtube channel: Youtube.com/@GraceUMCMesa
Our services are always based in Scriptures as we seek to understand the depth of God’s love for us while embracing God’s call on our lives to love God, love our neighbors and love ourselves.
Through hymns and worship songs, responsive readings, musical acclamations of praise, and presenting our gifts of time, talents and treasure, we offer ourselves to God. Scriptures are read and interpreted by the preacher, and the choirs and other musicians offer their gifts in praise.
At Grace, we strive to be a welcoming community that reflects Christ’s love through inclusiveness, acceptance, and joy. Everyone is invited to worship—no matter their background, experience, or season of life. Children of all ages are welcome in worship, with a nursery option available for the youngest. Our space is also accessible to people of all abilities, with wheelchair seating and hearing assistance provided.
Sacraments are sacred moments that Jesus gave us by clear instruction and example in the scripture. Sacraments involve our physical senses through outward and visible signs; in addition, they involve our spiritual senses through an inward and spiritual work of grace.
The United Methodist Church participates in two sacraments through which Christ is re-presented or becomes present to us anew. These are Baptism and Holy Communion. Click on the images below to learn more.
