Welcome to Kidder Memorial United Methodist Church!
Spring 2021
Dear Friends,
Springtime renewal is here! Days grow longer and warmer; plants appear from the ground. We rejoice at the signs of new life. The women who came to care for Jesus’ slain body did not expect signs of life in His tomb. But they were joyfully and mysteriously surprised. They saw an angel who told them, “Don’t be afraid. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen!” (Mark 16:6). The mystery of the Resurrection renews our hope for restoration, liberation and salvation. That hope is what gave birth to Christianity. During this Easter season lessons from the Acts of the Apostles replace readings from the Old Testament in our worship services. Why? Because the early church, empowered by the Holy Spirit, is the best witness to the Resurrection. Kidder Memorial United Methodist Church witnesses to the Resurrection of Jesus Christ by our prayers, our presence in the community, our gifts of caring, service and witness to God’s love within our church and beyond. This spring we will welcome four young people who will be confirmed, serve as a USDA food distribution site to help nourish our neighbors in need, host a health screening service and continue to sponsor Boy Scout and Cub Scout troops. We’ll host a 12-Step Recovery Group for food addiction, and continue to offer Kidder Kids, a Vacation Bible School-style experience on Wednesday evenings. And of course, adult Sunday School meets at 9:00 a.m. We worship together at 10:00. Our Praise Team leads us in contemporary Christian music with traditional favorites added in. Saved By Grace add their own style of Christian music monthly. You can experience our Sunday worship by clicking the Live Stream Service on YouTube button on this web site. We’re glad to have you join us through YouTube but we rejoice even more if you can join us in person! As our nation emerges from COVID, let your hope be renewed! You are welcome here! Questions?

God’s Love and Hope to you,
