Last Week's Sermon

Let us allow our faith to grow towards the brilliance of God’s Holy Light. Let us consider ourselves and our community in togetherness to “press on towards the goal for the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus.” Let us be aware that we are more than merely surviving and what we achieve in society still needs to be connected with the Living Christ.

I look forward to what God will do in this season!

Yours in Christ,

Pastor Tanya Spencer

Greetings in Christ!

I believe in the mind, body, and spirit connection of both the individual and the community. I passionately believe that “God is Still Speaking” since, we “have been born anew, not of perishable but of imperishable seed, through the living and enduring word of God… Like living stones, let (us) be built into a spiritual house.” I believe that our growth will be a collaborative effort. God is still blessing us with the discovery of our talents to promote an honorable world.

Church ends 52-year-old anti-gay stance

By Heather Hahn
May 2, 2024 | CHARLOTTE, N.C. (UM News)

General Conference delegates supported a revision of the Social Principles that deletes the phrase “the practice of homosexuality… is incompatible with Christian teaching.”
The 1972 General Conference added the phrase to The United Methodist Church’s Social Principles, and it has been a source of conflict in the decades since.
The vote came after about an hour and a half of debate and an amendment to its statement on marriage.
The historic May 2 vote came after days of General Conference reversing restrictions on LGBTQ ministry without debate.

Practicing Christ's Unconditional Love

Orchard Park United Methodist Church is a Reconciling Congregation.

We celebrate God’s gift of diversity and value the wholeness made possible in community equally shared and shepherded by all. We welcome and affirm people of every gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation, who are also of every age, race, ethnicity, physical and mental ability, level of education, and family structure, and of every economic, immigration, marital, and social status, and so much more. We acknowledge that we live in a world of profound social, economic, and political inequities. As followers of Jesus, we commit ourselves to the pursuit of justice and pledge to stand in solidarity with all who are marginalized and oppressed.
