COMMUNICATIONS

In an effort to improve the efficiency of our church communications, we are making some changes that will take effect in January. Instead of our current weekly News, Notes & Reminders insert, we will be publishing a monthly digital newsletter. There will be a limited number of printed copies available in the Narthex and at the Commerce Street entrance, but our hope is that most people will access it online. You will still receive the weekly Street Scene via email on Fridays, and any pertinent whole-church announcements will be printed on the back of the Sunday worship bulletin. 

ROSE WINDOW NOTE CARDS AVAILABLE

The MSUMC Altar Guild is featuring their beautiful Rose Window note cards as a Christmas gift idea for our congregants. Jo Anne Caldwell will be selling the note cards ($10 for 10 cards) in the Narthex after the Sunday services on December 10 & 17. You can purchase the cards during the week in the church office.

THRIVE: FOOD, FELLOWSHIP & STUDY  

Our Wednesday Evening Thrive: Food, Fellowship & Study has concluded for the Fall semester. We hope that you will join us for a wonderful study to kickoff the new year!  The Wesley Challenge: January 10-31, 6:00 pm.

In the Wesley 21-day Challenge small groups or whole churches will spend three weeks working through 21 questions that will engage their physical, spiritual and emotional lives and their relationship with God and others. 

Cost is $10 for the book. To register, click here.

CHRISTMAS CAROLING

Sunday, December 17 at 3:00 pm

Bring cookies and we’ll meet in the Fellowship Hall for hot chocolate and treats. At 3:30 pm we’ll depart for caroling to the homes of our homebound members. Bring your family and come!

CLAIM THE FAITH

Sunday evenings, 5:00 - 6:30pm, beginning January 7, 2018

Claim the Faith is a 12-week study led by Rev. Jared Wilson for adults (and interested high school students) that will examine how United Methodists claim and live their faith as individuals and as a denomination. Participants will gain insight into The United Methodist Church, its beliefs and faith practices. This is a great learning opportunity for adults who did not go through confirmation in The United Methodist Church, who are new to Christianity, or who would like a “refresher course” in what it means to claim the faith that empowers us to support the work of the church with our prayers, our presence, our gifts, our service, and our witness.

LOAVES & FISHES

Starting in January, there will be four permanent serving teams which will serve three times during the year and spaces available for one-month temp people each month. Teams will serve on the second Saturday of each month from 8:00 am -12:00 pm. Click here to register.
