This morning I went to the United Methodist church right around the corner from us on State Street with Megan. Its official name turns out to be “New Beginnings” UMC, which might explain why we couldn’t find any information about “State Street UMC” on the internet.
It’s a small, African-American congregation that’s trying to figure out how to remain vital. The Conference is watching them this year to see if the ministry site is worth keeping open; if the congregation has the energy, vision, and commitment to keep going and to offer ministries that make a difference in the community. I don’t know that I’ll go there very often – it’s not really my worship style – but I’m glad I went and made the connection with them and the neighborhood.
