Your Kingdom Come . . .
Pastor Doug 

We pray: "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven". The reality is that God's answer to our prayer is dependent upon our willingness to collaborate with God to make it happen. From our children's ministry to our youth ministry; from our small groups to Sunday School classes; from our shared worship opportunities, and our music ministry, to our prayer and healing ministry, and hospitality ministries; from our outreach opportunities, to our mission partners, and the United Methodist Women, we collaborate with God in extending God's kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.

Annually, our Bishop and his Cabinet (the 8 District Superintendents) ask every local church to set "Breakthrough Goals". The "Breakthrough Goals" provide the framework for developing strategies to achieve the goals set, based on the "Five Fruitful Practices": Passionate Worship; Radical Hospitality; Intentional Faith Development; Risk-Taking Mission and Service, and Extravagant Generosity. At the March 9 meeting of the Servant Leadership Board, the 2015 goals for Hyde Park Community United Methodist were set as follows:




 
Music
Mozart Requiem Concert On Tuesday, March 31st, the choirs of Hyde Park Community UMC and Armstrong Chapel UMC will join to present Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Requiem.  The concert will feature an accompanying orchestra and four national renowned soloists along with the organ.  The concert will start at 7:30 pm in the Sanctuary at Hyde Park Community UMC and admission is free.   Come join us for this wonderful collaboration during Holy Week!


Organ Concert Series. Sunday, April 19 at 4:00 pm.  The Music Ministry of Hyde Park Community United Methodist Church announces the final concert of the Eleventh Annual Season of the Organ Concert Series. Concert organist, Huw Lewis, will perform on the Casavant organ.  Dr. Lewis was born in Wales and now serves as College Organist at Hope College and Director of Music at St. John's Episcopal Church, Detroit.  His program, entitled "Parisian Organ Lofts," will feature French organ music from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries.

New Connect Groups "Spring Start-up."
You are being invited to "come and see" or "sample" what a Connect Group is all about. Six new groups are starting up the week of April 6th. Your commitment is short term. You'll meet in someone's home, at church or at a restaurant for 1 ½ hours for 5 weeks. A Connect Group is made up of 6-8 people who come together to build relationships and "do life together." Friendships form through sharing in social and spiritual conversations. For more information or to sign up, please stop by the Welcome Center after worship today, or contact Lisa Rabinowitz at 979-8192 or [email protected] or Rev. Dave Weaver at 979-8184 or [email protected].  We hope you will accept the invitation!
