How did you find your faith? Was in conversation with a role-model adult? or in Sunday School? or through a church music program or camp? Or perhaps on your own, as you tried to sort out science vs. the Bible vs. your experience? Today’s service features Matthew’s personal story of how his faith developed. It also includes a mini-hymn-sing and other pieces of music that hold special meaning to many MHUMC attendees.
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. Note that closed captioning is available when “CC” appears in white at the bottom of the video panel.

Our Scripture Readings are Matthew 6:6 and Mark 1:6-11. The passage from Matthew describes the very personal nature of a relationship with God. The passage from Mark illustrates the connection of Jesus to the Holy Spirit and God the Parent, and to the universe overall.
 The message today from Matthew Hendrickson is “Finding My Faith.” Side note: John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist movement, described his way of understanding faith and theology in a way we now term “Wesleyan Quadrilateral.” This method is based on using four sources: scripture, tradition, reason, and experience. As one’s experience and reason grow, and one’s ability to understand scripture and tradition grow, one’s faith also grows. Learn more about the Wesleyan Quadrilateral here. |
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.
