Words of Reflection Words of Welcome : "Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.

All are invited to attend. We are studying 1 Timothy.

We gather in the meeting room after folks have gotten a chance to grab a few refreshments.

Trenton First UMC and Community Announcements Continued Happy July 4th Office will be Closed Monday, July 3 and Tuesday, July 4 Second Grace United Methodist Church Ellison Center Presents An evening of Jazz, Food Fun and Laughter Book Club! Wednesday, July 26 at 1 pm Mead Mountain By B.K. Dell Riley Ellison is in love. World-famous Christian leader and bestselling author, Riley Ellison loves like a lit sparkler. His genuine affection for even the most wretched burns with scorching heat, brilliant colors and frenzied energy. It's no wonder God chose him to orchestrate His miracle. Pastor Ellison invites the press to join him in exactly two weeks, at which time he will tell Mead Mountain to move on live television, and in accordance with the promises revealed in Scripture, he claims it will move. The lines are drawn and everyone must choose a side. If the mountain moves at Ellison s command, no one could reasonably continue to doubt God s existence, and America will enter into the next Great Awakening. If it does not move, pews will be emptied, believers will be shamed into silence, and the faithful will be made a laughingstock worldwide. If you would like to join on Wednesday and would like to order a book, please call Jan Woolcott at 734-552-8900 2017 Detroit Renaissance District Mission Conference Saturday, September 9, 2017 8:30 am-3:15 pm Troy Korean UMC- 42693 Dequindre Rd, Troy, MI 48085 For the latest details, please check Website: http://drd.michiganumc.info/ Individuals can register directly Lay Leaders can log in to add, review, and update registrations.
