Join us for our new sermon series, Saved. This three-week series will focus on a different aspect of what it means to be saved by God—what we are saved from, what we are saved to and what we are saved for. This Sundaywe focus on the idea that salvation is, first and foremost, deliverance. We are saved from something: the power of sin, death and condemnation. Just as the Israelites were saved from slavery in Egypt, we too, are rescued from spiritual slavery. Romans 6:23 reminds us that the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus.


Michael Turner, Executive Pastor, will be preaching in the Auditorium for the Contemporary Worship services; Bill Bouknight, Retired GMC Guest Pastor, will be preaching in the Sanctuary for the Traditional Worship services.



For those worshiping remotely, you're invited to watch our services online, on Facebook and YouTube.




Membership Class


Whether you are seeking information about the church or ready to join, you are invited to attend our Membership Class this Sunday, September 22 from 3 to 5 PM in Room 820. Those who wish to join the church will have that opportunity at the end of the class, and those not ready yet can return to a future class for additional information and/or join. Register here or through our Mt. Horeb app.



 

Baptism Class


Our next Children’s Baptism Class will be held this Sunday, September 22 at 5 PM. As Global Methodists, we believe infants and children whose parents are committed to raising their children in the faith can be baptized. Our church is committed to coming alongside parents in assisting with that process until those children are able to profess faith in Jesus for themselves. If you want to have your children baptized or learn more about what we believe about baptism, we look forward to seeing you in this class. Once you have completed the class, you can choose from one of our scheduled dates for in-service baptisms. Email baptism@mthorebchurch.org with any questions. 




Poverty Simulation


It is difficult for those of us with enough to truly understand the situations that families living in poverty experience every day - the decisions they have to make, the fears and frustrations they feel. That is why we are inviting our church family and community members to experience just a glimpse of what it is like through the Community Action Poverty Simulation on October 2 at 6:15 PM.

 

Participants will assume the role of a low-income family member living on a limited budget. The event is divided into four increments, each representing one "week", in which you must provide for your family and maintain your home.

 

Adults and children in the 3rd grade and up are invited to participate! Kids Ministry programming is also available that evening from 6:00 - 7:30 PM for younger children. 

You can register yourself and family members, with friends, or as a small group. Limited space is available and registration closes on September 25. Register here.

 

We're looking forward to opening our eyes to the realities of living in poverty together, so that we can better serve all people the way that Jesus did.

Photos Needed for Celebration


As January approaches, we are planning some exciting things for Pastor Jeff’s retirement party. One of the things we are looking for are pictures from the “Old Days.” Please bring any photos you may have of Pastor Jeff and Lynn that we could use in celebration of the years he has been at Mt. Horeb. If you drop them off in the church office, we will scan them and get them back to you. Thank you in advance. We know many of you have some great pictures!
