Sermon Series: Building the Church
According to the gospels, Jesus was with the disciples for forty days after his resurrection on Easter. During that time, he used the opportunity to prepare them for one thing: How to build and be his Church after he's gone. Starting on April 11, we'll look at some of the most well-known post-resurrection stories in the Bible and discover the needed lessons Jesus offered the Church then and the still-timely lessons he offers the Church now.
This week's sermon title: Going Back to Normal
by Rev. Jeremy Lawson
It’s interesting to note that after the most earth-shattering event in human history—the resurrection of Jesus--the first story in John 21 is about Peter and four other disciples getting in a boat and going fishing. Why? Because they figured it was time to go back to normal. Of course, after a year-long pandemic, the church has been anxious to get back to normal too. But what if where God is leading us isn’t back to normal but into a new reality of what it means to be the church in a post-Easter world? Today, we’ll explore what that new reality looks like and opportunities God wants us to pursue.
We look forward to seeing you either in person or via live stream, Sunday, April 25 at 9:15 am or 11:00 am.

In between services, we sanitize everything that is touched including door handles and anything that gets touched or sat on.
Calling all 5th graders!

Hamilton Mill UMC’s Family Experience VBS 2021 will take place Monday, July 12, Wednesday, July 14, and Friday, July 16 starting at 6:00 pm and ending at 8:30 pm each evening. Extended families are welcome, and we will be practicing safe, social distancing enabling families to worship and have fun in their safe “bubble".

We are going to have a blast! Don't delay! Save your spot!
