First United Methodist Church in Lindstrom is a welcoming, accepting, and authentic community of faith.
Together at First UMC we grow as disciples of Jesus trusting in His forgiving grace and endless mercy. Our goal is to always strive to stay faithful to the three scriptural imperatives of the United Methodist Church: 1.) To Grow in Love toward God and Neighbor (Matt. 22:37-40), 2.) To Reach New People (Matt. 28:19-20), and 3.) To Heal a Broken World (Luke 4:16-21).
To stay true to these, is to stay true to Jesus and his life and ministry.
God loves all people.
So do we.
Please take a look around our website and Facebook page. We hope you will contact us if you have any questions.
The Work of Christmas
Dear Friends,
Today marks one month beyond our glorious celebration of Jesus’ birth.
This coming Sunday is the 3rd Sunday after the Epiphany – a day when we will be reminded in worship of the work that Jesus was sent among us to accomplish as we hear what has been referred to as “Jesus’ inaugural address”.
In this address (which are his first words in the gospel of Luke) Jesus introduces and lays out the foundation of his purpose and mission for coming to earth. It is a clear announcement of his mission and an apparent description of the kingdom of God. It is a message of good news as he refers to and announces the fulfillment of the prophet Isaiah’s vision. Speaking boldly, Jesus says,
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” (Luke 4:14-21)
This was the work and mission Jesus was sent to accomplish. It is important work. It is challenging work. It is our work.
