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 (Nov 3, 2024): Restoring Forever (New Heaven and Earth, All Saints Day)
There's only four weeks left in this liturgical year, and we'll start the cycle anew with Advent beginning on Sunday, Dec 1. In this final month, the Lectionary brings us to a series of texts which lead us from topics which focus on the cycle of life and death and resurrection/restoration. We start this off celebrating All Saints Day this Sunday... As we think about the cloud of witnesses, the saints, the family and friends who have gone before us, and who have modelled faith and the Christian walk for us, it is hard not to get caught up in the ideas of death and rebirth. Our lectionary brings us right into those topics with the story about Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead, and with a section from Revelation about the New Heaven and New Earth. It's a lot of ideas swirling about, but they occupy the same space: life and death and reserrection and renewal. It continues on from the Restoration we were talking about last week: All things are made new in Christ.
