Good News from MUP!

Holy Week we walked through the story of Jesus as he walked toward his crucifixion, death and resurrection. But we also celebrated two of our pastor’s significant life events. Both represent hard work, perseverance and a bit of triumph.

Join us in congratulating Rev. Dr. Katie Collins on the completion and defense of her D. Min., and Rev. Dr. Susan Presley on the publication of her first book and book signing event!

If you have good news to share, send it to the Presbytery office!

May Prayer Circle

Lord of all life, who is like a father to all creation and mother to all your beloved children,

We are your Easter people. Our hearts are open like the tomb and our eyes are filled with the light of your resurrection. As we walked with you through the darkness and drama of Holy Week, we remembered the Last Supper, your prayers, and your determination to complete the journey. Oh, how we celebrated on Sunday at your resurrection!  Allow us to be more like you. Lay out before us opportunities to exercise your courage and determination to do your work. Grant us the strength, hope and joy we will need to continue to tell the good news to all. Grant us spirit-filled elders and bring forth from within our presbytery and without, prophetic pastoral leaders to support the congregations of Missouri Union Presbytery. Help us to take care of those you spent the most time with - the poor, hungry, widowed, marginalized and those seeking new homes in new lands. We are following you as closely as possible. Draw us closer in your love. Amen.
