Your faith shouldn't take a break
As summer arrives, many of us look forward to vacations, family gatherings, outdoor activities, and a change of pace from our usual routines. The longer days and warmer weather bring opportunities for rest, recreation, and renewal. These are gifts from God to be enjoyed. Yet as our schedules shift, it is important to remember that our faith does not take a summer break.
The Bible reminds us, “Let us not grow weary in doing what is right” (Galatians 6:9). Being faithful during the summer means continuing to
make room for God in our daily lives, even when routines become less predictable. God remains present whether we are at home, traveling across the country, sitting beside a lake, or enjoying time with loved ones. Wherever we go, God goes with us.

Summer Sundays
We strongly believe that people are important to God and therefore are important to the church. Our core values are to show that same love, care, and kindness, friendliness, and patience that He does. Our desire is to help build families and relationships that are God-centered and God - influenced.
From Sunday morning worship and Sunday school to Bible studies, Gothenburg First United Methodist Church is focused on helping you to experience how God's love and grace can change your life.
