"Small-But-Mighty" Missouri Church Receives 2022
One Matters Award
"Small but mighty" aptly describes the 125 member Potosi UMC, 70 miles southwest of St. Louis. This year Potosi UMC was one of several congregations receiving a One Matters Award from Discipleship Ministries. The Rev. Kim Jenne, Missouri Annual Conference Director of Connectional Ministries, attributed Potosi’s growth to the efforts of the Rev. David Hendrick, a part-time local pastor, and to church leaders who focus on building connections with newcomers to the community.

Teaching and Preaching Lent 2023
With Adam Hamilton, Thursday, February 2 – 1:00 p.m.
Join Rev. Adam Hamilton for a free webinar as he shares what he has learned through teaching church-wide and small-group study, as well as preaching in the Lenten season. Engaging in a Bible study together as a church family has tremendous potential to bring a congregation together, deepen a sense of community, and foster spiritual growth. It also provides an opportunity for community outreach, creating a clear and specific touchpoint for inviting new people to worship and study. Adam will give practical advice on how you can have the greatest impact during the Lenten season. All webinar attendees will receive a free Luke: Jesus and the Outsiders, Outcasts, and Outlaws Worship and Media Download (retail value $29.99). The resource includes a promotional worship video, presentation slides for use in worship and study, social media images, a program guide, sermon outlines, and other worship helps for each week of Lent.
