This world is filled with suffering, wars, and pestilence – how can we still have hope? In today’s service, Trish notes we have hope because we know that there is a bit of God in everyone. We must always be ready to tell the story of how we know God, as it may be what someone else needs to also discover hope.
Our services are being held with in-person attendance at 10 a.m. Sunday morning. Today’s service is provided below in its entirety in video format.

Our Scripture Reading is 1 Peter 3:13-22 from The Message. Peter, in his letter to the new Christians in Asia Minor, urges his readers to do good and stand up to injustice, even if they are persecuted or misrepresented. They can endure suffering, because they will be rewarded when Jesus returns. Until then, they are to live as followers of Christ.
 The message today from Trish Catalano is “Always be Ready.” |
Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is the one true Church whose faith we support with our prayers, our presence, our giving, our witness and our service.
Our offering is given to the mission and ministry of MHUMC. Remember our gifts come from us, as the people of God, for the work of God, to the Glory of God in the world.
I invite you to give generously, as we worship God through sharing our gifts, tithes, and offerings.
