Sermon Questions
- How can you be to a child as God is to you?
- Does our church show you how?
- Are there times when you couldn’t tell whether a situation was good or bad, heavenly or not? How do you decide?
- How does the Trinity reveal the mystery of God’s being, and what are some ways we can explore this mystery through prayer and reflection?

Father’s Day Lunch Celebration • Today after Worship
Join us as we honor the men and those who identify as men at Blaine Memorial UMC on Sunday, June 15 after worship with a special lunch! During this time, we will honor, remember, and show out love to our fathers, grandfathers, godfathers, uncles, brothers, cousins, husbands, teachers, mentors, and all the men in our lives that have influenced and shaped us into the people who we are today. Our BYG will help serve ice cream for dessert!
Prayer and Coffee • Wednesdays at 9am
Join us for prayer and community on Wednesdays at 9:00AM on Zoom. Our time together consists of brief check-ins, devotionals, and prayers. This is a great way to continue with Lent, clear and center your mind, all while connecting with God and your prayer community. Feel free to bring a cup of coffee, tea, and a bite to eat. Hope to see you on Wednesday.
Juneteenth Office Closure • June 19
In recognition of the Juneteenth federal holiday, our Church Office will be closed on Thursday, June 19, 2025. We will be open on Friday, June 20, from 10am-4pm.
1,000 Paper Crane Project • Due July 20, 2025
The Archives Committee is asking church members to come together to pray for peace by folding 1000 paper cranes as we commemorate the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the end of World War II, and the closing of the World War II US incarceration camps which imprisoned Japanese Americans.
The folding of 1000 origami cranes has come to symbolize a prayer for peace.
We would like members to fold the origami cranes during social hour after service, in Sunday School, in your small groups, and at your homes and other spaces. We can give you some origami paper or you can use your own origami paper (6-inches by 6-inches).
Please give or send your origami cranes to the church office as soon as you finish or by July 20, 2025.
Request for Potato Chips and Savory Treats
Thank you, everyone, for bringing in sweet and savory treats for our fellowship time on Sundays. We all enjoy them and are now running low. Please consider bringing in some of your favorite individually wrapped chips to share. Examples are potato chips, Doritos, Cheetos, etc. We appreciate your generosity.
You may drop the treats off in the social hall kitchen area on Sundays or during church office hours.
We are always in need of more helpers in the kitchen for our fellowship time and it’s a great way to get to know others. Please see Julie Lock at jtlock00@gmail.com if you would like to be added to our rotation list. Thank you!
