A Message from Pastor Nick
Welcome to Goodrich United Methodist Church! Our roots in this community date back to 1836. While our name and buildings have changed, our belief in God's grace for all remains the same.
Today, we are a welcoming congregation where everyone can worship freely. At GUMC, we recognize that we are all God’s children—including you. Through worship, study, and service, we strive to grow in faith and share God’s love with our neighbors.
If you seek a church where you can truly be yourself, I invite you to join us. No matter your background, GUMC is a place to rest your soul and embrace your identity as a beloved child of God. Hope to see you soon!

What's Happening
God is creating a new world out of this one. Why does this matter, and how are we invited to be part of the work? See you Sunday as we explore.
Revelation 21:1-6
Join Us in Celebrating Our Graduates!: Come celebrate our high school and college graduates during worship on Sunday, June 8. We’ll honor their achievements and pray for their future journeys. A reception will follow the service, and everyone is invited to attend!
Hurley Pediatric Foundation Project: May is the collection time for the Hurley Foundation project. A table can be found in the back of the sanctuary from May 5 to May 21.
To participate in this mission, we are looking for donations of children’s books, coloring and puzzle books with colored pencils or washable markers, new stuffed animals, fleece lap blankets, and baby blankets.
When a child is sick or needs a treatment, items of comfort like a stuffed animal or blanket can make that experience a little easier. You can play a small part in this mission with your donations. Any questions, call Joy Rossman or the church office.
Caring for Our Community: United Women in Faith takes action to support women, children, and families in need. Our mission to make sleeping bags requires sheets and neckties. We create 4–5 bags weekly, each with a health kit, and donate them to Strength in Numbers and Love Inc., Lapeer.
You can help by donating clean health kit items or contributing to Goodrich UWF. We also recycle blankets, comforters, and fabric. Rising costs now exceed $3,000 annually, so monetary donations are greatly appreciated. Please spread the word; this need continues to grow!
Strength In Numbers: This month we are asking to help restock the pantry for veterans with the following items: toilet paper, paper towel, kleenex, hand soap, cleaners, band aids, men razors and shaving cream. Items can be placed in the bins that are at the church, Brown's, and Sims.
