We would love for you to join us at an upcoming virtual or in-person event.
Summer Worship Series: "Good News for Tough Times"
It's easy to stay positive when all is well, but what happens when life throws us a curve ball? What do we do when it seems as if our hopes and dreams have been dashed against the rocks? The apostle Paul, writing to early followers of Christ in Rome, reminded them that there was good news to be found, even in tough times. God was with them, and God was working for good in their lives (which meant that they were not alone).
In this summer worship series, we will delve into the apostle's words, making space to acknowledge the challenges we face without letting them define who we are. We will name (and celebrate) the many ways that God is sustaining us, helping us move toward healing and wholeness. Through prayerful reflection, the sharing of stories, and the shouldering of one another's burdens, we will not only be recipients of God's good news, but also take an active role in participating in God's transforming work.
Red Cross Blood Drive
The American Red Cross has declared an emergency blood shortage as the supply has fallen nearly 25% in June. This shortage is especially serious for types O positive and B negative (blood and platelets). Donors are urgently needed to give now to help ensure patients receive lifesaving medical care without delay.
To help increase collection (and provide additional opportunities for folks to donate), the Red Cross will be hosting a blood drive at Marshfield: Wesley UMC on Tuesday, Aug 11 (from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm). Sign up for an appointment on their website by going to the Red Cross' Donation page, entering the ZIP code (54449), and clicking on "Wesley United Methodist Church".
Every donation has the potential to help save lives. If you're able, please consider giving this life-saving gift!
Pub Theology with Good Shepherd ELCA
Have you ever wondered how our faith fits with the everyday facts of life? Is there a question you've wanted to ask, but never found the place to? If so, then Pub Theology is for you! This summer, we are partnering with the folks at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church to make a safe, open space in which to explore our doubts and our wonderings, to learn from others, and to engage those of varying religious traditions and experiences.
There are only two sessions left this summer - Wednesday, Aug 5 and Wednesday, Aug 19. So, gather round the tables at Scotty's Pizza from 6:00 to 8:00 pm, and be sure to bring your questions and your curiosity!
Serving at Soup or Socks Food Pantry
There are many in our community who struggle with food scarcity, every day. As followers of Christ, we are called to show God's love in all we say and do, including by feeding the hungry. Our partnership with the Soup or Socks food pantry here in Marshfield is one way we reach out to and are in ministry with this vulnerable demographic.
Coming soon, we will have an opportunity to serve and to meet a vital need! Volunteer shifts are available Monday (Aug 31), Wednesday (Sep 2), or Fri (Sep 4). If you feel that this is something God may be calling you to do, contact the church office so that we can get you connected. Together, we can make a real difference in someone's life!
