Pastor's Message

Dear Friend,

Welcome to Montgomery United Methodist Church! Thank you for visiting our website. Greetings and blessings to you!

Whenever I visit a church - say, while I traveling during my summer vacation - I always look forward to attending a church service where I will feel uplifted and encouraged in the Lord - one where I feel encouraged to pray deeply to the Lord, and feel His embracing, accepting blessing. I look for a church with a positive approach, one that will lift me from where I am to the next level of hope and encouragement. Attending such a service gives me energy, insight, and positive direction for the week.

This is the very experience I wish for people who attend Montgomery United Methodist Church. I am a strong believer that people should walk out of church feeling stronger, happier, and more encouraged than they did when they came in. Services at Montgomery UMC are consistently positive and affirming.

I believe that this is what our Lord Jesus Christ did for people, and what He continues to do today. He lifted people to the next level. He gave them hope. He gave them tools for positive living. His living Holy Spirit, present with us, wants to do the same for us today.

I'd like to personally invite you to visit our church. Here you will find some of the finest and friendliest people you will ever meet. Here you will find an outstanding and fun Sunday School. Here you will find opportunities for insight and fellowship. Most importantly of all, here you will find the living Spirit of Lord Jesus Christ, anxious to bless you in amazing ways. Your faith will be strengthened, and your spirit will have the chance to joyfully grow.

Feel free to write to me an e-mail. I will be happy to write back.

Please come visit our 8:45 service (quiet, meditative, uplifting) our our 10:30 AM Sunday service (energetic, family friendly, and uplifting). Enjoy the worship service, and stay for fellowship and a fine cup of coffee. I look forward to greeting you in person.

Blessings always,
Pastor Tony Godlefski
