Transform people, transform others. Unless we are transformed in the likeness of Christ, we will be limited in our attempt to transform the world. Just as a caterpillar must surrender itself to the unknown before transfiguring into a beautiful butterfly, so too must we surrender our lives to God if we are to undergo the process of transfiguration and emerge as a divine human. We offer various ways to deepen your inner journey. The single most important is the Sunday worship experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/watsonville1stumc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/monarch-butterfly.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" src=\"https:\/\/watsonville1stumc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/monarch-butterfly.jpg\" alt=\"monarch butterfly\" class=\"wp-image-6046\" srcset=\"https:\/\/watsonville1stumc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/monarch-butterfly.jpg 500w, https:\/\/watsonville1stumc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/monarch-butterfly-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sacraments &amp; Rituals:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/watsonville1stumc.org\/weddings\/\">Wedding<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/watsonville1stumc.org\/funeral\/\">Funeral<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/watsonville1stumc.org\/baptisms\/\">Baptism<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/watsonville1stumc.org\/communion\/\">Holy Communion<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/watsonville1stumc.org\/membership\/\">Membership<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ministries for:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/watsonville1stumc.org\/children\/\">Children<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/watsonville1stumc.org\/youth-confirmation\/\">Youth<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/watsonville1stumc.org\/adults\/\">Adults<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cCast your net out into the deep.\u201d~ Luke 5:4 \u201cFear of our own depths is the enemy.\u201d~ James Hollis, Jungian analyst \u201cThe journey of spiritual transformation is 5 inches long and 500 miles deep.\u201d~ John O&#8217;Donohue Turning inward is the first step of courage in undertaking a spiritual journey of transformation.
