Treat yourself to a wonderful breakfast of pancakes, sausage, fruit salad, coffee or juice.  All proceeds help support our youth summer service project.  Start your day off by staying after the Sunrise Service or arrive early before the other worship services.

A wonderful way to begin Easter with communion, the “New Life” cross which will be decorated with beautiful flowers and the sunrise over the mountains.  Dress warmly and bring blankets.

The semi annual Church to Church Conference was held on March 
25th-26th at the Green Valley (UMC) Community Church. This vital group 
maintains a strong connection among United Methodist churches in 
border areas, and Mexican Methodist churches in the border area of 
Northern Mexico.

The meeting promotes Christian connection and understanding of our 
Mexican brothers and sisters. We share fellowship, concerns and 
information on both sides of the border. There were meals provided by 
the host church, Green Valley Community Church, with much animated 
conversation facilitated by the several bilingual members of the 
group. Rev. Delle McCormick presented the program, “Migrant Christ: 
Faith and Solidarity in the Borderlands”. And the meeting closed on 
Thursday with a communion service, and lunch before the members 
departed for their homes.

Our Missions chair, Dee Berman acted as one of the interpreters.
