What's Happening

Thursday Communion Services 

We are currently having a communion service in the Sanctuary on Thursdays at noon. The service is adapted from the order of worship in the UM Hymnal starting on page 6. We have readings from the scripture, sing a hymn, and have a time of prayer. There is a very brief meditation on one of the scriptures and we share in communion together. The service lasts about a half hour. All are welcome! Invite your neighbors if you are free during the day or at the noon hour!

Ruta Beggars ($20)

March 8, 2024

Appealing to traditional and progressive acoustic music fans alike, The Ruta Beggars combine bluegrass and early swing to create a timeless act filled with intricate vocal harmonies, fiery instrumentals, and plenty of fun. They have been praised for their creative yet tasteful arrangements and charming performances, winning Thomas Point’s band competition in 2019. Since 2018 they have brought the joy of their live show to audiences across the US and Canada from festival stages to storied folk listening rooms and as support for legacy acts Lyle Lovett and Ricky Skaggs.

Best-of-friends since their inception, The Ruta Beggars are Micah Nicol (guitar), Sofia Chiarandini (fiddle), Ariel Wyner (mandolin), Trevin Nelson (banjo), and Noah Harrington (bass) who met while studying in Berklee College of Music's American Roots Program.

 Bible Study 

Invitation From Truth Seekers

You are invited on a six-week journey through the New Testament book of Romans with Max Lucado and friends here at Leola UMC. We will be beginning the exploration on Thursday, March 7, 2024, at 12:30p.m. and end by the beginning of May.  Sessions will last no more than 90 minutes. Through this study we will explore the key themes that Paul relates to in the book – and how his teaching relates to us today. If interested, please see Joyce Hall for a study guide.
