Dear Shawnee UMC Family,


Please join us this Sunday for Worship

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


The title of Pastor Brennan's message is:


"Connection with the Larger Church"



The Scripture is:


1 Corinthians 10:16-17



16 The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a sharing in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a sharing in the body of Christ? 17 Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.
