SPRING BIBLE STUDY – THE LORD’S PRAYER

The Lord’s Prayer holds a significant place in our faith. It offers hope in times of trouble. It is a declaration of our faith. It is a petition for guidance. The words of The Lord’s Prayer roll off our tongues so easily, that we sometimes miss their significance. While we recognize the prayer as sacred, we sometimes fail to grasp its power.

Through this study we will revisit this model prayer given to us by Jesus and look more deeply into its meaning. Adam Hamilton suggests that this is more than a model for prayer, but a model for living. Join us for new insights into this great gift that we know as The Lord’s Prayer.

If you are interested, please contact the church office by Wednesday, April 13th. We want to make sure enough study materials are ordered!
You may contact the church office at (336) 472-7718 or by email at office@mumctville.org.

UKRAINE

How to assist the Ukrainian people
The United Methodist community in Ukraine, though quite small, is actively engaged in assisting neighbors in need. Global Ministries is in touch with the church’s leadership as well as with church leaders in countries welcoming those who are fleeing from violence in Ukraine.

If you wish to provide humanitarian assistance to the Ukrainian people in the wake of the Russian invasion of their country you may give a check to the church by marking it “Ukraine”. Your gift will provide direct assistance to those in Ukraine, as well as assistance to Ukrainians fleeing to neighboring countries.

Due to the United Methodist connectional structure, one hundred percent of all contributions go to the designated cause.
Because of your generosity we have collected $4,275.00 for Ukraine this month. Thank you!

LENTEN LUNCHES

Lenten Lunches are returning this year! These will take place each Sunday of Lent, immediately following the 11:00 AM worship service. (March 13th, 20th, 27th, April 3rd, & 10th)

We will take reservations that will allow for food preparation and to ensure sufficient seating that is safe. Please RSVP to these events by the Wednesday prior to each Sunday.

Reservations can be made by contacting Summer Gordon in the Church Office at (336) 472 -7718.
