June 26, 2026

Before there were Bible apps, podcasts, or screens in every classroom, there were flannelgraph boards, children's songs and Bible crafts that formed faith in generations of believers. These childhood stories carry foundational truths about trust, rescue, courage, repentance, provision and hope. Stories of Faith revisits Bible characters many of us first met as children, rediscovering their deep, grown-up implications for life today. This week we will look at David and Goliath, a story less about defeating personal obstacles than about seeing life through the lens of God's greatness rather than the size of our problems. While others saw an impossible enemy, David saw an opportunity for God's glory, reminding us that God often works through unlikely people who choose holy courage and spiritual perspective over fear.

Jeff Kersey, Pastor Emeritus, will be preaching in the Auditorium for the Contemporary Worship services; Bill Bouknight, Retired GMC Pastor, will be preaching in the Sanctuary for the Traditional Worship services.

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

Baptism Class

Our Baptism Class for all ages will be held on Sunday, July 12 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. This class is for all those wanting sprinkling and immersion. Register at mthorebchurch.org/baptism.



Worship Workshops

The Contemporary Worship Team is hosting Worship Workshops for rising 6th-12th grade students interested in learning more about worship music, live production and pastoral ministry. This is a great opportunity to learn more about one of these areas and a great way to develop and refine skills. If you are a beginner, this is also an opportunity to be exposed to how these ministries work together to serve in a worship service setting. Workshops will take place July 28–30 from 9:00 AM–12:30 PM. The cost is $30 per student, and the registration deadline is July 12. Click here to register.
