Worship Style

At Amble UMC, we worship in the traditional style. Each week we sing the hymns of the faith, share the Good News with our children, read from Scripture, share a sermon message that expounds that Scripture, and share our prayers of joy and concern.

Occasionally we are blessed with talks from missionaries or our own members. We enjoy offerings of special music—especially old Gospel music—by local musicians. And in the summer we move our worship outdoors, under our pavilion, once a month.

Cancellation Policy

Living in the Great Lakes region, we know that extremes in winter weather are the norm. Therefore, it may become necessary to cancel church activities and services when conditions make travel to the church simply too dangerous.

Midweek activities (Bible study, choir practice, etc) will be cancelled if any one of the school districts represented by Amble members (Lakeview, Morley, and Tri-County) cancels classes that day. Cancellations will be posted on our website and on our Facebook page.

If winter weather forces the cancellation of Sunday services, announcements will be posted on our website and our Facebook page as well as Grand Rapids TV stations and .

Pastor Anne Riegler

Pastor Anne Riegler entered the pastorate after working many years in the hospitality industry in food service and hotel sales. Amble UMC is her first appointment, having been sent to Amble shortly after being licensed in 2009.

Pastor Anne's passion is for everyone to find peace and wholeness in their lives. She believes the Good News of healing and forgiveness through Jesus Christ is news for everyone—news that people are desperate to hear. She enjoys teaching, writing, and music that emphasizes this Good News.

Pastor Anne is married to Mike Riegler, a provisional elder in the United Methodist Church, and pastor of in Edmore.

Amble Church: A History

First Methodist Episcopal Church—Amble

The Barton and Gaffield Sunday School Classes united in 1906 to form the [Amble] First Methodist Episcopal Church congregation. In September 1908, the church building was dedicated.

Centennial Celebration—2008

Organization for Amble United Methodist Church's Centennial Celebration began in the early summer of 2008. One of the features of the celebration included remembering key founding members of the church. A new list of key members was read every month during that year. A special bouquet was also laid at the alter as a sign of gratitude to past and current church members' involvement and support.
