Call for Cursillo Volunteers
Midland United Methodist Cursillo invites clergy and laity who have previously attended a 4th day weekend to work the upcoming Cursillo Weekend, MUMC #72, scheduled for September 26-29 at the First United Methodist Church in Warrensburg. If interested in being a servant on one of the weekend teams, please contact Tracy Jones (Maryville First United Methodist Church) at [email protected]. Cursillo is for the development of Christian leaders who wish to strengthen their spiritual lives, may have unanswered questions about prayer, study, sharing their faith and want to figure out how to live out one’s faith in everyday life.

It’s as if the church we’ve known was formed in a jungle, but now we find ourselves in a desert. A jungle is a living system, with a multitude of life forms. A desert is also a living system with its own unique life forms and context—but those creatures adapted to living in the jungle will find life challenging and even deadly among the dunes.
