Church closed today (3/13) due to inclement weather
Good morning! Due to the snowy conditions in our area, Blaine Memorial UMC will be closed today, March 13, 2026. The safety and well-being of our church family is our highest priority, and with the snowy conditions —especially along the steep streets in our neighborhood — we believe it is best for everyone to avoid traveling to the church today. We encourage everyone to stay safe and keep warm. If you have any questions, please feel free to email office@blaineonline.org.
Thank you for your understanding, and please continue to keep one another in your prayers during this time.
Peace,
Rev. Karen

Third Sunday in Lent
This week I will be preaching from Gospel of Mark 6:30–44 (CEB) as we continue our Lenten series, Tell Me Something Good. When thousands were hungry and the available resources seemed impossibly small, Jesus told his disciples something surprising: “You give them something to eat.”
Together we will reflect on how God takes what may seem small in our hands and, through compassion and a willing community, transforms it into abundance. In God’s kingdom, when we offer what we have — our time, our care, our faith — there is enough for everyone to be fed.
