In the event that we are unable to stream the service by 11AM on Sunday, we will stream the service recording later in the day, so please continue to check the YouTube channel and Facebook page for updates.

Greetings Church Family,

What a perfect early summer day. I hope you are able to enjoy God’s creation today. The 2021 Virtual Michigan Annual Conference took place June 1-6, and then the Service of Commission and Ordination was celebrated on June 13 with both classes from 2020 and 2021. Our Annual Conference delegates will be reporting out about our experiences later this summer, but I thought you might enjoy a worship service that was shared with churches. This was one of the services we experienced during Annual Conference. Rev. Dr. Cynthia A. Wilson serves as Executive Director of Worship Resources at our United Methodist Discipleship Ministries agency supervising and guiding staff in the process of developing resources and training events with a worship focus. She was our educator during Conference and the preacher for this service. Thank you Karen Murphy for asking for this service to be shared with our congregation. Dave Smith, Robin Fanning, Stu Baker, and I look forward to sharing more with you later this summer. See you in worship this week.

Peace and Love in Christ,
Rev. Mary
