"A church worker in a downtown mission was asked once by a friend why they did what they did. In their eyes it was menial. "Why do you stay?" they asked. The worker responded with something I have not forgotten. They said, "A strange man on a cross won't let me go." I too have seen this man, this strange man on a cross, and he has captured me in a similar way. I am not alone. He, in his strange way, has captured many others. In Him we have found a reason to work, to give, to think, to change, to believe, to care, to wait, to enjoy, to suffer, to live...to die...and to live again! We invite you to come join us as we find this meaning for our existence on this earth at the State Street United Methodist Church. Come join us on the journey as we follow this "strange man on a cross" who has captured our lives!"
In Christ, Paul A. Fryman, Senior Pastor, State Street UMC
