Sometimes in our faith journey, we find ourselves up against what seem to be insurmountable odds.  When it feels like the world is against us and it becomes tempting to give up.  You are not alone!  Throughout history, people have faced similar problems and gone up what seem to be giants in their way.  We can find examples of this throughout the pages of the Bible.  Come along with us for this worship series as we discover how some of the individuals in the Bible handled their situation and who they turned to for help along the way!

Christians believe in the love of Jesus Christ that reaches out to all creation. Christians are called to serve wherever Christ would have us work to heal and free others through the power of the Holy Spirit. In this, United Methodists are like most other Christian denominations. But there are also a few ways we express our faith that is distinctive from others.

 Through this series, we will explore what we believe not just as Christians, but more specifically, what we believe as United Methodists. We have a wonderful heritage in Methodism. Explore with us.

In our first series from Pastor Pam Harkema, we explore the life of someone who travels frequently - like a shepherd from Biblical times or a Pastor from the modern era.  Travel with us as we examine the shepherd's way.
