Dear Shawnee UMC Family,


Please join us this Sunday for Worship


in-person or on Facebook Live at 10:30am.


The Scripture for Pastor Changsu's message will be:



Genesis 37: 27- 28


  27 Come, let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and not lay our hands on him, for he is our brother, our own flesh.’ And his brothers agreed. 28 When some Midianite traders passed by, they drew Joseph up, lifting him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And they took Joseph to Egypt.

The Tuesday Lectionary Group invites you to share some of your favorite scriptures, which we will then share with all members.


Please email them to:

Here are this week's scriptures for study and meditation:



Numbers 11:25-29 The Lord descended in a cloud, spoke to him, and took some of the spirit that was on him and placed it on the seventy elders. When the spirit rested on them, they prophesied, but only this once.


Two men had remained in the camp, one named Eldad and the second named Medad, and the spirit rested on them. They were among those registered, but they hadn't gone out to the tent, so they prophesied in the camp. A young man told Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”


Joshua, Nun's son and Moses' assistant since his youth, responded, “My master Moses, stop them!”


Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for my sake? If only all the Lord's people were prophets with the Lord placing his spirit on them!”


Psalm 47:8-9 God is king over the nations. The leaders of all people are gathered with the people of Abraham's God because the earth's guardians belong to God; God is exalted beyond all.


Luke 10:21-24 At that very moment, Jesus overflowed with joy from the Holy Spirit and said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you've hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and shown them to babies. Indeed, Father, this brings you happiness. My Father has handed all things over to me. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, or who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wants to reveal him.”


Turning to the disciples, he said privately, “Happy are the eyes that see what you see. I assure you that many prophets and kings wanted to see what you see and hear what you hear, but they didn't.”


Ephesians 3:15-21 Every ethnic group in heaven or on earth is recognized by him. So I ask that he will strengthen you in your inner selves from the riches of his glory through the Spirit. I ask that Christ will live in your hearts through faith. As a result of having strong roots in love, I ask that you'll have the power to grasp love's width and length, height and depth, together with all believers. I ask that you'll know the love of Christ that is beyond knowledge so that you will be filled entirely with the fullness of God.


Glory to God, who is able to do far beyond all that we could ask or imagine by his power at work within us; glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus for all generations, forever and always. Amen.
