4/7/24 Sermon

April 12, 2024 by pclyburn Leave a Comment


Church Family,

Along with this front facing sermon video, I’ll share video from my one-session overview of Methodist History which we streamed on this page. This was just a brief sketch, and there’s a lot more I’m hoping we can dive into in the future. If you’d like another in-person session of this I’m happy to find another time. If you have questions or topics you’d like to cover please let me know, and I hope you’ll understand how general an overview this was.

4/20 Will be our yard Sale from 7:30-1:00pm. We’d accept donations now and up to that event.

5/19 We’ll have a covered dish for Pentecost

Sunday School meets at 10:00am Sundays and is reading through 1 Samuel. We’re happy to share that schedule with you if you’d like.

Wednesday Events:
Chair Yoga 4:00pm
Choir Practice 6:00pm

driving for meals on wheels
helping out at Stone Soup

many others!

We’re decorating for Advent 12/2 starting at 10:00am. We’d love and appreciate your help.

Christmas Eve is a Sunday, so that day we’ll worship at 11:00am as usual with a service of lessons and carols and our Christmas Eve service will begin at 5:00pm

We’ll have a Bible Study for the next few Thursdays at 11:00am on Biblical “contradictions” and relationships. We’d love for you to join us.

Our Christmas cantata will be 12/17 during worship. We meet Wednesdays at 7:00pm and Sundays at 3:00pm in the coming weeks.

Later that day, on the 17th we’ll have a Christmas party/game night starting at 4:00pm. Bring a dessert or game to share.

Chair Yoga has moved to 4:00pm for the winter. You’re always welcomed to join.
