In-Person

Join us for worship this Sunday, January 23rd. Worship will be in person at 8:30 and 10:30, with the 10:30 service also live-streamed on YouTube. Pastor Scott will preach “Here We Go”. Luke 4:14-21.
The people of Lovely Lane UMC humbly strive to be light, love and leaven to the world.
We stand with those who are devalued in our society because of their color, gender, marital status, creed, sexual orientation, age, physical or mental ability, immigration status or economic condition.
We serve those in our neighborhood and our community who are in need of food, housing, education, or health care.
We heal the world through collaboration with the national and international missions of the United Methodist Church, because where our hands cannot be, our hearts can.”
