Discipleship Pathways
March 1, 8, 22, and 29 from 10:10-11 am (during the Sunday School hour)
This 4-week class led by Pastor John Feagins is for those who are curious about Christianity and community life at Manchaca United Methodist Church, especially those exploring church membership. The course will meet from 10:10 AM - 11:00 AM on March 1, 8, 22, and 29 in the Fellowship Hall. No prior church membership is required, and questions are encouraged. The course will also share various opportunities for learning, growth, service, and fellowship within this local congregation and surrounding community.
Prayer and Meditation
Morning Prayers
The church sanctuary will be open for morning prayer from 6 - 8 am on Wednesdays during Lent, beginning February 25. This is an opportunity for contemplative meditation and intercessory prayer, with a structured devotional and opportunity for healing prayer each Wednesday from 6:30-7 am.
Wednesdays 6-8 am in the Sanctuary
Devotionals for Families
Families are encouraged to focus on prayer this Lenten season through a weekly devotional packet that is available beginning this Sunday. A Lenten Coin Calendar, which can be used by people of all ages, is also available to encourage giving through our Super Silver Savers program.
"Cracks That Make Things Crumble" Devotional
This season of Lent, we will have a special sermon series titled “Cracks That Make Things Crumble.” The series will take us on a journey toward the cross with special attention to elements of our lives and society that we often take for granted. In preparation, Pastor John is also composing a 40 day devotional book on the same themes. We will be offering free preview editions of this book (still being prepared) for the enjoyment of Manchaca UMC members. Since this work could later be published, Pastor John is asking that those receiving a copy register or RSVP and offer feedback regarding the text. If you would like to reserve a preview copy, please email him at: pastorjohn@manchacaumc.org. He can also receive your name once we have some printed copies available.
Missions
Super Silver Savers
During the season of Lent, many of us decide to make a special sacrifice to improve our physical or spiritual selves. For example, we may choose to give up buying coffee, sodas, and candy and use the money we didn’t spend to help others. A good way to do this is to participate in the Super Silver Savers fund drive as part of our Lenten experience. Please plan to bring your Super Silver Savers back on Palm Sunday, March 29.
