Pre-Recorded Sermons Available for Download

In hopes of offering our pastors and worship teams an easy way to take a Sunday off, we’ve recorded four sermons by Missouri Conference leaders that are available for you to download and use in your local church. Churches will have an option to download the sermons by themselves OR to complete a request for an entire worship service complete with prayers, music and a giving moment. At least two weeks notice is required for custom worship service requests. Learn more and download the sermons at www.moumethodist.org/sabbath-sunday-sermons

Planning for Holy Week: Keeping Rituals and Connecting Community

Amplify Media is hosting a panel of worship leaders to help you creatively plan for Palm Sunday, Good Friday, Easter’s celebrations, and other spiritual practices related to Holy Week. Their ideas and discussion will be around topics such as:

• Many churches have been apart for the last year. If in-person activities are an option in your community, how will you also engage those who will choose to stay home?
• During Easter, we celebrate Jesus’ victory over death. With so much loss, that message will resonate differently this year. What Easter rituals and new traditions can honor the year we’ve experienced?
• How do we involve children and families – both at home and in the church – during this year’s services?

This webinar will be broadcast live, so you will have the chance to ask questions of our panel of leaders during the discussion. You may also ask questions beforehand, through the registration form. The webinar will be at 2 p.m. Thursday, February 11. Register at https://signup.e2ma.net/signup/1939094/1904956/.

Game On

In anticipation of this weekend's Superbowl matchup, the Missouri Cabinet wants to ensure there will be winners all around. They have so much confidence in our Kansas City team that when they win the championship, they pledge to give a financial gift to an agency of the Florida Cabinet's choosing. In the unlikely event of a Tampa victory, they have invited the Florida Cabinet to make a gift to https://dellalamb.kindful.com/, our historic Methodist agency working to make Kansas City a kinder place to live. “While there are winners and losers in football, we know that when we work together, our communities thrive,” Bishop Farr stated in his Facebook post issuing the challenge.
