Worship Wherever
Lebanon United Methodist Church
creating a place at the table (even the virutal one) for everyone
God is praised from every time and place! In these new and challenging circumstances, our worship together looks a little-- okay a lot-- different, but it still carries on. Welcome, people of God, to worship with the folks of Lebanon UMC and beyond.
Our worship services are held in person and virtual via Zoom at 1030am.
Contact the Church Office at 603-448-5478 for Zoom connection information and bulletin to be emailed to you.

Centering
How can you make the space you are in right now feel more sacred? Light a candle? Play soft music? Look out the window? You are on holy ground, no matter where you are. God is with you.
You are invited to take a deep breath. Let it out with a sigh. And another. May we never take so simple-- so essential, so miraculous-- a thing as breathing for granted. Thank you, God, for breathing life into us this day.

Responding to God with Thanksgiving - Offering our Gifts and our Selves
Even in these difficult times, we are abundantly blessed with love and grace and the opportunity to serve. As you are able, you are invited to continue giving your gifts of time, talent, and treasure to God. In prayer and connection to one another, we serve God with our time; as you sew masks, or call somoene who is lonely, or practice isolation for the safety of others, you are serving God with your actions and your talent. How are you called to give of your treasure, to give thanks to God and to equip the ministry we continue to do in our community and around the world? Please mail your offering to the church (18 School St., Lebanon NH 03766) where it will be handled with safety for our counters, contact our financial secretary to establish automatic bank payments, or make your gift online through our secure donation link:
God, we thank you for the promise of new and everlasting life, a promise that shatters even the strongest bonds of fear and death! Receive our gifts, and use us in your service, in the name of the Risen Christ. Amen.
