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!

-Pastor Nick Berlanga -

What's Happening at GUMC

For the rest of the summer, we're going to look at some of the strange and fun stories in the Bible.  
 
This week, Sunday, September 6:
We're wrapping up our series on strange stories of the Bible with a weird one.
 
Moses's sister Mariam says something she shouldn't have, and God has a unique way of teaching her a lesson. There are some words of wisdom for all of us today in this offbeat story from the Bible.  
 
Numbers 12:1-14
The wait is finally over! Please join us on Saturday, September 26th for the long awaited “Dinner with Friends.” A community outreach event in Our Family Life Center, which will be transformed into an elegant and affordable evening, complete with white clothed table and chinaware.
 
Enjoy a roast pork and sauerkraut dinner, served by our friendly staff, with all the fixings including homemade pie for dessert.
 
Come and bring your friends and family. Saturday September 26, 5pm to 8pm, $20 for adults and $15 for children under 12 years old.

With fall quickly approaching, that means it's time to start making pasties!
 
Our next pastie sale will be Friday, September 11 and Saturday, September 12. All proceeds go to Ministries. Order here
If you’re unfamiliar with GUMC Scrip, your purchase will be for the face value of the gift card (see vendors here) while GUMC collects a small percentage that goes to our ministries. Currently, all profits from the orders go directly to Ugly Quilts, and we thank all who participate. 

Order forms can be found in the wire basket on the United Women in Faith Bulletin Board or online here.
Our new church sign is here!

Next time you drive by GUMC on M-15, check it out!
When have you seen God; Emmanuel? Everyone is invited to attend the United Women in Faith meeting Thursday, September 10 at 10:00 in room 215 to explore Emmanuel.
 
This is based on Mission U. There will be a special time of prayer with a collection for missions of United Women in Faith focusing on climate justice and mass incarceration. Information about the Michigan detention center in Baldwin for immigrants will be highlighted. Let’s look for the infinite God, intimate God who seeks us, and inner God in us. See you September 10.
