Church in the Windshield

Bunker Hill United Methodist Church

July 8 2018

We visited the Bunker Hill United Methodist Church on July 8, 2018. We arrived a few minutes early to find a well-kept small white country church that seemed to say “Welcome.” The church stood alone beside a street gray rock colored pavement. Cars were randomly parked in front of the church on both sides of the street. Other cars were parked on the green and brown grass that bordered the south side of the church. Wide metal entry steps seemed to announce and echo our arrival to what would become a great worship experience.

 

We were greeted by a warm and friendly congregation with open arms.  It felt so good to be accepted by such faithful Christians; we instantly felt like we were a part of the church family. The pastor, Rev. Michael Eurit shared a great message entitled “98lb Weakling“. We are weak but God is strong and will see us through both difficult and good times.

 As we left the service that morning, we felt that we had truly been to worship and God was in this place.  God was in this place through singing, warm hand-shakes, friendly greetings and a sense of true caring. One of the songs, an old favorite of many, “Jesus loves me” seemed to set the mood for the day. 

This little country church obviously is a stable pillar of hope for the Bunker Hill community. Certainly it has seen its share of weddings, funerals, and social gatherings over its many years of existence. Though empty through the week, this little church opens its doors every Sunday morning to live and share the good news of Jesus Christ. Wouldn’t it be great if our lives could reflect God’s love everyday as does this little Bunker Hill United Methodist Church?

This friendly little church celebrates a unique Christmas tradition each year by decorating and lighting the church with real lanterns.  The soft warm glowing flicker of the lanterns creates an atmosphere of spirit, peace, and tranquility as people come to worship.

When we drive through Bunker Hill now, we drive by the church and experience God in a new and refreshing way. We will remember the church and the church family; the warm after-glow of worship and the uplifting message that carried us through the week.

Until Next Time keep on sharing Jesus’ love and the warm after-glow kindled.

Epilogue:  If you are traveling on Interstate 70 on a Sunday morning and would like to attend a wonderful caring little country church then, turn off at Bunker Hill (exit 193); go a mile north.  The church is a couple of blocks east of the highway.  The service starts at 9:15 a.m.  They would love to have you.
