Good Friday | April 3, 2015
For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

Lent 2015 | 40 Days of Renewal
Lent, the period of 40 days before Easter (excluding Sundays), begins on Ash Wednesday and ends at sundown on Holy Saturday, the evening before Easter.
During Lent, we enter into a season of preparation, self-reflection and repentance when we seek to literally “turn around” and realign our lives and focus toward God. It is a time to give up things as well as take on new life-giving practices, helping us rid ourselves of distractions and our own selfish desires. By doing so, we seek to live and love as more faithful disciples of Jesus Christ.

ROCK Retreat 2015
ROCK is an incredibly powerful and fun- filled weekend in Ocean City, MD. It allows youth and adults to take a step back from their crazy lives and learn about the amazing love of Jesus Christ. It is an awesome experience for folks to connect with God and their friends while listening to great bands and speakers. Participants leave ROCK renewed and ready to spread the word about God’s great love for us! This year's theme was KFC: Kindness. Forgiveness. Compassion. We checked in with a few ROCK participants from Gethsemane UMC to learn more about their experience.
