Aldersgate, North Reading, Tewksbury, and Wilmington United Methodist Churches
“Gifts of the Dark Wood” is a worship series designed for Lent based upon Dr. Eric Elnes’ book of the same name. The series invites us on a journey into those darker places in our lives—times when we feel disillusioned, afraid, or lost—and invites us to explore how God’s presence remains with us, providing opportunities for new growth and transformation.

Sometimes, leaving your comfort zone leads to greater self-discovery, and even unexpected challenges can become strong foundations. In this series we reflect on all areas of our lives, including those that feel unstable or like failures—moments where Jesus calls us to deeper understanding and courage.
Soup and Spirit is a beloved tradition at WUMC. Each Wednesday evening at 6:30 we share a simple meal of soups people bring to share, with bread. The soup nourishes our bodies and the conversations deepen our spiritual journeys.
The discussions in Tewksbury happen on Friday mornings in the coffee room at 10:00 AM. We share coffee conversations.
