United Methodist Church
Welcome
“The Church is not a group of people who believe all the same things; the Church is a group of people caught up in the same story, with Jesus at the center."
-Rachel Held Evans
At Magnolia United Methodist Church, church is more than just a building, or a Sunday morning service. All are welcome, to participate in any or all of our commuinities, as you choose, and as you are. Doubter or believer, gay or straight, documented or undocumented, you are welcome here. Together, we make a community, centered on Christ's love, existing to serve God's love and mercy to our neighbors.
This Week's Service (Feb 2, 2025): Moving From Hate to Hope (Luke 4:21-30)
There’s a lot of hopelessness around us these days. People are struggling. And with the political horrors going on, more and more people are fearing for their lives… our trans and LGBTQ sisters and brothers, our homeless neighbors, our immigrant friends, anybody relying on government funding, let alone the worries for medicaire and Medicaid, those who can't afford medicines which they need, and on and on…
And in the face of this firehose of injustice we can find ourselves shutting down, turning inward… There's this constant noise of hate and anger, which settles into depression and hopelessness. Today’s reading from Luke addresses this dilemma, and points to the way out. We have a choice to stay put, to fester, to focus on ourselves and our own, or we can follow Jesus… into action. Into proclaiming the Year of Jubilee, into proclaiming hope, peace, compassion, love, joy, and mercy. It’s not an easy choice, but it’s clear. Let's get unstuck... there is joy in action.
