I Am Saintly

  • Northridge United Methodist Church (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Join us this Sunday as Pastor Karen Crawford teaches us to claim, “I Am Saintly!” 

To be saintly means to resemble a saint; ie: to live and lead a holy life. It often describes people who exhibit virtue, goodness, and a life dedicated to God. Saintly behavior is characterized by holiness, love and compassion, reflecting a commitment to living a life that aligns with God’s will and ways, and a walk with Christ Jesus.

Come and make sure that you are one with God, holy, and will one day be called a saint, when you pass from this earth!

We will remember the saints at NUMC who have passed away since the end of October, 2024, lighting a candle in their honor, reading their name, and ringing a bell. If you have had a loved one pass in the last year, please let us know. We would love to name them as one of the saints!

Our readings for the day are from: Romans 1:7;  Ephesians 3:14-21; & Psalm 16:1-3.

Know that you are forgiven and always welcome here, just as you are, saint or sinner!
