COVID-19 UPDATE
On September 21, 2020 the Church Council approved a proposal from the Reentry Team to resume indoor worship and Sunday School effective Sunday, October 18. We will begin with a single service at 10:00 AM. Seating in the sanctuary will be limited in order to maintain social distancing and there are a number of guidelines intended to ensure the health and welfare of the congregation. You can read those guidelines here. Live streaming of the worship services will continue for those who prefer to worship online.
The Reentry Team will continue their work of developing a plan for reopening the building for meetings and activities when it is safer to do so. Please continue to pray for our church, and in particular for the work of the Reentry Team as we discern how best to move forward.
Feel free to contact the Reentry Team with questions or concerns at reentry.amumc@gmail.com.

WEDNESDAY VESPERS SERVICE
Each Wednesday evening at 6:30 PM we will offer a brief service of Vespers (from the Latin for "evening"). Vespers is the early evening prayer that is part of the traditional "Daily Office". This is a quiet, contemplative service in which we give thanks for the day just past, offer praise to God, and prepare for our night's rest. Each week the service will be posted online at 6:30 here and on our Facebook page. The archived videos can be accessed anytime afterwards. |

The United Methodist General Commission on Religion and Race offers this four-session curriculum as a first step for white Christians, in particular, who are unsure about what racism is and unclear about its relevance to individuals, the church, and society as a whole. This resource is designed for individuals who are ready to learn about how racism operates, how it affects Christian communities, and how people of faith can recognize and resist racism.

OCTOBER SERMON SERIES
"Earn. Save. Give." John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, boiled fiscal responsibilities down to just three rules: Earn all you can. Save all you can. Give all you can. Sounds simple, right? Simple, yes, but not easy! During the month of October, inspired by James A. Harnish’s book, Earn. Save. Give., we will use sermons, daily devotions, and thought-provoking videos to consider how Wesley’s money management philosophy can provide us with a new way of thinking about money. Click here for more information. |

PRAY ALWAYS. PRAY ALL WAYS. For the next several months, Pastor Arlene will be guiding us on an exploration of new ways to pray. About once a week she will publish a new video via Facebook and the church website describing a different prayer practice from a variety of Christian traditions. You can access all the videos, along with downloadable prayer guides here. |
