This month we celebrate our one year anniversary at Church on Morgan and so last weekend we decided to stop and remember all that God has done in and through us in the last 365 days. The truth is that it's been an unbelievably fruitful season of ministry - we've grown from about 150 in Sunday worship to 450, from three missional communities to seven, from 75 people serving the church regularly to over 200! We've seen over 40 people become members of ESUMC through CoM and have celebrated nearly 20 baptisms! Behind all of those numbers are people, people with real stories - stories of folks who'd given up on church, who'd given up on faith, and who were tempted to give up on themselves but God is intervening through this crazy kingdom project of a 200+ year old church in Downtown Raleigh and now a new family is taking shape and we are all so grateful.
So, whether you attend CoM or one of our other three worship communities at ESUMC, you have been and continue to be a significant partner in this story that God is writing. I hope you too will take some time today to stop and give thanks to the God who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us. Amen!
Join us at 228 W. Edenton St. at 8:40 and 10:55 for our traditional service in The Sanctuary or at 9:30 and 11:11 for our contemporary service in Kerr Hall.
Our Southeast Raleigh Table will be the second multi-site campus of Edenton Street United Methodist Church. The SERT's future home has yet to be identified; however, they are now worshipping weekly at 301 W. Jones St. at 11:00am on Sundays. SERT Weekly Email
