Dear Shawnee UMC Family,


Please join us this Sunday for Worship

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


The Scriptures for Pastor Changsu's message will be:


Psalm 103:12


as far as the east is from the west,

    so far he removes our transgressions from us.


Proverbs 3:5-6


Trust in the Lord with all your heart,

    and do not rely on your own insight.


In all your ways acknowledge him,

    and he will make straight your paths.


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:

John 4:46-54 He returned to Cana in Galilee where he had turned the water into wine. In Capernaum there was a royal official whose son was sick. When he heard that Jesus was coming from Judea to Galilee, he went out to meet him and asked Jesus if he would come and heal his son, for his son was about to die. Jesus said to him, “Unless you see miraculous signs, and wonders, you won't believe.” The royal official said to him, “Please come before my son dies.” Jesus replied, “Go home. Your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and set out for his home. While he was on his way, his servants were already coming to meet him. They said, “Your son lives!” So he asked them at what time his son had started to get better. And they said, “The fever left him yesterday at about one o'clock in the afternoon.” Then the father realized that this was the hour when Jesus had said to him, “Your son lives.” And he and his entire household believed in Jesus. This was the second miraculous sign Jesus did while going from Judea to Galilee.


Hebrews 11:1-3 Faith is the reality of what we hope for, the proof of what we don't see. The elders in the past were approved because they showed faith. By faith we understand that the universe has been created by a word from God so that the visible came into existence from the invisible.


Isaiah 52:7-10 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of a messenger who proclaims peace, who brings good news, who proclaims salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God rules!” Listen! Your lookouts lift their voice; they sing out together! Right before their eyes they see the Lord returning to Zion. Break into song together, your ruins of Jerusalem! The Lord has comforted his people and redeemed Jerusalem. The Lord has bared his holy arm in view of all the nations; all the ends of the earth have seen our God's victory.


Psalm 72:11-14 Let all the kings bow down before him; let all the nations serve him. Let it be so, because he delivers the needy who cry out, the poor, and those who have no helper. He has compassion on the weak and needy; he saves the lives of those who are in need. He redeems their lives from oppression and violence; and their blood is precious in his eyes.
