SHELBINA UNITED METHODIST CHURCH

Rev. Thad Carter, Pastor

 

The church family at the United Methodist Church in Shelbina seeks to nurture all ages from the tiniest infant to the most elderly. The members here extend a warm welcome to any who will come and share in God's love. This love and concern reaches out to an extended family who may be as close as next door or at some distant point around the world. The following is a brief outline of the activities that take place as the church family joins together to worship, learn, fellowship and serve as a witness to the love of God.

 

Worship

Worship is central to the life of the United Methodist Church in Shelbina. Each Sunday morning a traditional service begins at 10:00 A.M. This includes congregational hymns, special music, reading of Scripture, time with children, prayer and preaching of God's word.

In addition, special services are planned to celebrate and observe the seasons of the church year such as Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter and Pentecost.

The worship committee is also looking at other ways to experience praise and worship that might add depth and richness to the spiritual life of members.

Traditionally this church has been a participant in the Union Services held in the community for the World Day of Prayer, Thanksgiving and Holy Week and supports the Shelbina Ministerial Alliance in benevolent service.

We proclaim Jesus, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me.
Colossians 1:28-29
