  • Northridge United Methodist Church (map)

This Sunday join Pastor Karen Crawford, as she unpacks prayer. Prayer is powerful, but God is not a wish-granting genie. God answers prayers as they fit into His great plan, not into our wants. This Sunday we will understand prayer as aligning our hearts with God’s will, not manipulating God into giving us things

Come, and let us learn together. You are welcome here!

Today’s scriptures are: Romans 8:26; Matthew 6:6, 7:7-8; 1 Thess. 5:15-18; 1 Timothy 2:1; James 5:16; Phil. 4:6-7

  • Northridge United Methodist Church (map)

Join us this Sunday as Pastor Karen Crawford leads us in worship as we learn about the sacrament of Baptism and some questions and/or misconceptions around it!

The debate around who can be baptized, how much water, and who can baptize people remains hot across denominations and within individual churches.

Come and learn about this sacrament. Praise be to God!

Our readings for the morning are: Matthew 28:19-20; Mark 1:4-11; Luke 3:21-22; Acts 2:38; and Romans 6:3-4.

In Christianity, humility is a virtue that is deeply rooted in biblical teachings. It signifies an attitude of submission and recognition of one's limitations in light of God's greatness. It means recognizing one's limitations, acknowledging God's greatness, and serving others with a spirit of meekness and love.

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!
