God calls us to be disciples of Jesus, building community through
service and fellowship and sharing the love of Christ with all.

“The United Methodist Church of Westford is an open and welcoming community of Christian
Faith. Without any exceptions, we welcome anyone who seeks to love and to serve God.” Learn More

New beginnings do not come from forgetting, but from remembering what matters most. In Exodus 12:1-14, God gives the Israelites the Passover not only as a meal, but as a memory that will shape their identity for generations. On the night of Passover, ordinary doorposts become a threshold - from slavery to freedom, from fear to hope, from oppression to liberation.

Passover reminds us that God often creates new beginnings by inviting us to remember: to remember God’s faithfulness, to remember who we are, and to remember that we belong to a story larger than ourselves. The journey toward freedom begins not only by leaving something behind, but also by carrying forward the memories that give us courage, identity, and hope.

As a new season begins in our lives and in the life of our church, we are invited to ask: What do we need to remember in order to begin again? What stories, promises, and experiences of God’s grace can become thresholds leading us into a new future?

For the Israelites, Passover became a doorway to freedom and new possibilities. For us, remembering God’s presence and faithfulness can open new paths toward hope, healing, and new life. Through remembrance, God continues to lead us from bondage into freedom, from fear into hope, and from old stories into new beginnings.
