A NOTE FROM PASTOR DAVID
Closing the Distance
|
In these times of social distancing, I want you to know that MUMC is committed to trying to close the gaps created by social distance. Our church is providing much-needed relief to families in times of economic need through our food pantry. Our pavilion is used almost all day long as children youth and adult spend time outside shooting hoops. For our own church family, we are trying to provide both content and connection to make these times more meaningful. We are streaming worship at 8:30 and 11 AM Sundays on Facebook. You will find orders of worship in this email. Soon we will reach out to our Sunday school class leaders on how to have Sunday school classes remotely. My Bible study class on the parables will resume on Zoom on this Tuesday from 9:30 to 10:10 AM. Each weekday at 12pm we will have "Nourishment at Noon" live on Facebook. I will present on Monday and Wednesday, Mark Hixon on Tuesday, Kim Carroll on Thursday and Pastor Chansin or Pastor Jason Esparza on Friday.
During these days I pray that you will take care of yourself and take care of your neighbors as you remember to check on them. I believe that we will experience God in this crisis and that we will emerge stronger because of it. As my son, Reed, reminded me recently, "Biblically speaking, on the other side of every desert is a Promised Land.
~David

While MUMC has closed its doors to church gatherings, the church staff is still working daily to get God's Word out to you and to find as many ways as possible to stay connected to you through all the avenues available to us.
Our church is still open to those needing the food pantry and to those needing emergency assistance. There is one thing you can do to help us get through this period, and that is to not forget your giving. Help us to keep this house, MUMC, open so that we can continue to minister to those who need us.
Thanks to those of you who give automatically through our website or through auto-pay at your banking institution. Thanks, too, to those who mail checks to us. If you normally give in person at church, please consider giving online or through the mail, if you are able.

During the season of Lent, many of us decide to make a special sacrifice to improve our physical or spiritual selves. This year, consider helping others by participating in the Super Silver Saver fund drive as part of your Lenten experience.
If you weren't able to pick up a Super Silver Saver cup from the church, you can still
set aside coins or bills each day, saying a prayer of thanksgiving for God's many blessings as you do so.
Whenever we are able to gather at church again, we can bring in the money we've set aside and celebrate together our common offering of sacrifice.
The money will be used by the Missions Team to fund mission activities sponsored by our congregation, such as local disaster victims, flood buckets, students at Akins High School who are experiencing homelessness, Habitat for Humanity, Back Pack ministry, our missionaries, Food Pantry, Angel Tree Program, housing improvement projects, and manna bags for the fall festival.
