Come for a hot breakfast from 9- 11 am if you like, and we’d love to have you join us for worship if you wish.  Our early contemporary service with a praise band is at 8:15 am and our more traditional service is at 10:30 am.   This year we will also be blessing our children’s bicycles (and/or helmets) and other wheeled vehicles during the worship services.   This is a fun day for all ages!

It’s easy to become cynical or even apathetic, yet I find that most people who do are not very happy or satisfied people.  None of us asked to be born.  Life isn’t always what we want it to be, but it’s certainly a lot easier to navigate day to day if you can find hope.  I find hope in knowing there is a God who loves me, a savior who understands my suffering, and spirit-filled people who let love shine through them into my life.   If you would like become more hope-filled, we welcome you to come and be part of the community of faith at Buffalo United Methodist Church.  We’re all different sorts of people, united by our faith, but open to conversations and dialogues that help us find hope for the world and for our souls.

Great for all ages!  A freewill offering will be received.  This event is part of the monthly Saturday Awakenings series.

The Buffalo United Methodist Church presents a special seasonal concert on Saturday, December 3 at 7 pm.  Performers Marienne Kreitlow and Jerry Ford weave together original and traditional music of the season with selected works of the great and timeless poets, including Robert Frost, Ogden Nash, Robert Burns, and William Shakespeare. Between them, they play numerous musical instruments – piano, psaltery, flute, Irish whistles, hand percussion – frosted by tight vocal harmonies. Ford’s voice will bring these classics to life, while Kreitlow’s music taps into the beauty, joy, and hilarity of weathering winter in Minnesota.

In addition to the wonderful music, the Buffalo Art Guild will have a winter art display that can be viewed just prior to the concert at 6:30 pm, or following the concert while enjoying refreshments.  Several local artists will participate.

A freewill offering will be received.  This concert is part of the monthly Saturday Awakenings programs at the church.

This event is part of our church’s Saturday Awakenings series.
