2019 Good Friday Service: "Seven Last Words of Christ"
/On April 19, 2019, Grace UMC had its Good Friday Service where the worshippers read and remembered the seven last words Jesus said on the cross. The choir’s anthem, “Once Upon A Tree” along with other hymns sung during the service, reminded us of what kind of love God has shown us by giving His one and only son to us. Pastor Park’s ending note, a short message, is entitled, “Here Is Your King,” and based on John 19:14-22.
‘Invite, Inspire, and Encourage’ – San Ramon Grace UMC Welcomes Community to GRACE Talks
/
“Can a small and aging congregation reach out to locals?”
“Can a church in which many of its members have mobility issues serve its community?”
“Can a church with limited resources present new ways of looking at reality to those who are struggling?”
Since his appointment last June, these questions kept arising for Peter Hyun Ho Park, pastor of San Ramon’s Grace United Methodist Church. He wanted his new church to reach out and serve the community in the San Ramon area, so in order to practice that, Pastor Park led his members outside to the pumpkin patch and held an outdoor concert there. One Sunday afternoon, he provided free hot chocolate to anyone who visited the pumpkin patch – at that time located in the church’s front yard. None of these efforts brought favorable outcomes. Instead, he found that his members were having difficulty just moving. Only the pastor’s two-year-old son was moving constantly on those occasions!
Then a paradigm shift happened.
