A big shakeup in the United Methodist Church has been in the news and is affecting many Christian believers. Four area churches: Brockport UMC, Adams Basin UMC, Spencerport UMC and Elmgrove UMC stand together in accepting, affirming, and encouraging full participation in the life of their congregations by all people, regardless of political beliefs or sexuality.
Throughout history, the people called Methodists have celebrated an open door theology. Pastor Jack Laskowski shared his thoughts. “We haven’t always gotten it right, but our structures have in the end always guided us toward justice, mercy and love. Our founder John Wesley declared: ‘Though we cannot think alike, may we not love alike? May we not be of one heart, though we are not of one opinion?’”
With so much divisiveness in our nation, these four churches are determined to let every individual know their sacred worth and the love of God. All are welcome to join them in worship on Sunday mornings: Brockport and Adams Basin’s services are at 9 a.m., Spencerport meets at 10 a.m., and Elmgrove at 10:45 a.m.
