🌟 A little encouragement can go a long way. Take a moment today to lift someone up, whether it's with a kind word, a listening ear, or a simple gesture of support. You never know how much your positivity might mean to someone who needs it. Let's spread kindness and make the world a brighter place, one person at a time. 💛

💪✨ In times of uncertainty, remember this: Fight fear with faith, and fight doubt with truth. When challenges arise, hold onto what you believe in and stay grounded in what you know is true. Let's lift each other up and face every obstacle with courage and conviction. Together, we can overcome anything! 🌟

✨ Today, we celebrate , honoring the trailblazing women who fought for the right to vote and continue to advocate for gender equality in all aspects of life. Let's remember that true equality means empowering every woman to have a voice, make choices, and achieve her full potential. Together, we can break down barriers and create a world where everyone, regardless of gender, has the opportunity to thrive. 💪💜

Thank you to our incredible group of acolytes, their families, and our crucifer Chas Uffelman for your service and training today! We look forward to having each of you as worship leaders this year.

🌿 It's Okay to Not Be Okay 🌿

At MSUMC, we believe that it's okay to not be okay. Life can be challenging, and it's important to remember that you don't have to face it alone. Our community is here to support you, offer a listening ear, and lift you up in prayer.

Join us as we journey together, finding strength in our faith and in each other. Let's embrace vulnerability, knowing that in our weakness, we can find God's strength.

You are loved, you are valued, and it's okay to not be okay.

Well done Kids Core students who worked together to decode scriptures teaching us how to pray!

🌟 Embracing Today with Faith 🌟

As I step into today, I trust in Your strength and grace to guide me through any pressures and challenges that may arise. I am reminded that You have called us to be miracles for one another, and I pray for the power, strength, and tenderness needed to fulfill this calling.

In every moment of strain or tension, may I find Your presence and support. I pray all this in the incomparable and extraordinary name of Jesus Christ. Amen. 🙏✨

Congratulations to our newly promoted preschoolers as they enjoy the new Bibles they received this Sunday! Thank you to our generous congregation for making these Bibles possible through your gifts!
They will be well used!

Doubt can be a heavy burden to carry. Let's extend grace and understanding to those questioning their faith. Together, we can create a space of love and acceptance. Remember, we were all doubters once.

One invitation has the power to change everything. Share the hope and love of Christ with someone you care about. Let's make a difference together!

Tonight, I lift to You those I know who are weighed down by struggles, those lacking life's necessities, those enduring abuse, and those feeling disconnected from their faith due to the actions of some who claim to follow the teachings of Jesus. I pray for healing and hope for those who need care. And, for their caregivers, please grant them strength and endurance.

As I prepare to rest, I seek inner strength and a fortified faith to embrace the upcoming day with courage and compassion in my words and actions. Amen.
