January 9, 2026

Join us this Sunday for a special time of worship as we start the new year together. Services will be combined in the Auditorium for Contemporary and Traditional, with the usual 9:00 and 10:45 AM service times. Michael Turner, Senior Pastor, will be preaching for both services. God is on the move, and we are excited to be on mission with Him! 

For those worshiping remotely, you're invited to watch our services online, on Facebook and YouTube.



2026 Daily Devotional

On January 1, our church launched a 365-day devotional journey designed to help us grow together in our walk with Christ. This devotional invites our entire church family to engage with the same Scripture and spiritual truths each day, creating unity and shared purpose throughout the year. The devotional will be released quarterly, making it easy to follow along and stay engaged throughout the year.  

How you can participate: 

You can choose the option that works best for you 

• Receive the devotional through our daily prayer prompts 
• Download the digital devotional booklet 

Throughout the year, this devotional will guide us through our five discipleship rhythms - living faithfully, communally, generously, humbly and missionally - helping establish Christ-centered habits for everyday life. 

Membership Class

Whether you are seeking information about the church or are ready to join, you are invited to attend our Membership Class this Sunday from 3 to 5 PM in Room 861. Those who wish to join the church will have that opportunity at the end of the class, and those who are not ready yet can return to a future class for additional information and/or to join. You can register at mthorebchurch.org/membership or through our Mt. Horeb app. 

Baptism Class

Our Baptism Class for all ages will be held this Sunday at 5 PM in Room 861. As Global Methodists, we believe that baptism is an outward sign of an inward work that God is doing in our lives and because God’s work is perfect, we believe in only being baptized once. If you or your child is someone who has never been baptized or if you’d like to learn more about baptism, please plan to attend. Once you attend, you can choose from one of our scheduled in-service baptism dates. Register at mthorebchurch.org/baptism or through our Mt. Horeb app.

2026 Spring MidWeek Classes

As disciples of Jesus, we believe that we are called to live faithfully in rhythm with God. While attending Sunday Morning worship is a great place to start, living in-step requires us to be walking with Jesus each and every day. From 6:15-7:30 PM on Wednesdays, MidWeek is a way for all generations to grow in their faith. Childcare will be available through our Kids Programming. Classes begin on Wednesday, January 14. 

Pastor's Study - Dear Church: 5 Major Themes from Paul's Letters

As a conclusion to the Bible Recap, this class will explore the major theological themes found in Paul’s letters to the early church, helping learners see how his teachings shaped Christian faith and practice.

Married People

Marriage is about far more than rings, a cake and dancing the Cupid Shuffle. God designed marriage between a man and a woman to be a living picture of His covenant love—a love that is sacrificial, faithful, refining and deeply committed. In a world that often settles for shallow definitions of love, Christian marriage has the potential to shine as a radiant example of the Kingdom of God.

Screwtape Letters - The Reality of Evil in the World

This five-week course dives into The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis—one of the most insightful and imaginative works ever written about spiritual warfare. Through the fictional correspondence between Screwtape, a senior demon and his apprentice Wormwood, Lewis exposes the subtle strategies of temptation and the very real nature of evil in our world.

Holy Land Class: The Bible in Its Context

When you read Scripture, do you just skim past the locations because you have no frame of reference? Knowing the places and geography of the Holy Land brings the events of the Bible to life in a whole new way. 

Financial Peace

Learn step by step how to budget, beat debt, save money and build wealth for the future. No complicated "blah blah blah" here. Financial Peace University teaches simple, commonsense principles that work. Build a Legacy. Plan For Your Future. Win With Money. Communicate in Marriage.
