McKENDREE MINISTRIES!

SUNDAY WORSHIP SERVICES  are regularly at 9am and 11am.  (On Fifth Sundays we have one combined worship service at 10am.)  We invite you to join us for our February sermon series, “Relationships Required!”

In this life, the most significant relationship we need is with Jesus Christ, but it is not the only one.  While Jesus Christ is our Redemptive Savior, he puts people around us to help us live courageously and faithfully into God’s plan.  However, most of us have a selected type of friends, but we need to broaden those relationships so that we can live more fully as followers of Jesus Christ.

There are a host of people who God desires to be in our lives and He puts them in our path.  So be watching for them!

ENCOUNTER@METROCENTER  Each Sunday at 12:30pm, McKendree Church has an alternative worship service for those who feel “church” isn’t for them.  This service meets at the United Methodist Publishing House, 2222 Rosa Parks Blvd.  Everyone is welcome to attend!  For more information on our Encounter Ministries, you may contact Rick Quinn at mckendreerick@gmail.com.

ASH WEDNESDAY  Ash Wednesday is March 1.  Our Ash Wednesday services will be at 12pm in the chapel, and at 6:30pm in the sanctuary.  We invite you to join us for one of these services!

LIFE GROUPS  We invite and encourage everyone to be a part of a Life Group!  We have Life Groups for men, women, mixed adults and a bilingual (Spanish/English) Life Group.  Some groups meet at McKendree Church, others meet in coffee shops or homes in the Nashville area.  Contact Rick Quinn for more information on any of our McKendree Life Groups (mckendreerick@gmail.com).

WEDNESDAY NIGHT BIBLE STUDY  Our Adult Bible Study will not meet on March 1.  We invite you to attend our Ash Wednesday service.  We will begin a Lent study on March 8.  Everyone is welcome to join us!

DIVORCED CARE MINISTRY   Rev. Karasheila Jackson is starting a Divorce Care Support Group Ministry at The United Methodist Publishing House, 2222 Rosa L. Parks Blvd in Metro Center.  The meetings will be on Wednesdays, from 6:00-7:30pm.  This session of Divorce Care Ministry will begin on Wednesday, March 8, and will be for 13 weeks.  The session enrollment will be open through March 15 and enrollment is limited to 10 people.  The cost is $25.

The purpose of the Divorce Care Support Group is to help people begin to heal from the pain of divorce or separation.   We strive to do this in a warm, caring environment designed to help them face their challenges and move toward rebuilding their lives after one of the most painful and stressful experiences that people go through.

If you are interested in being part of this group, please contact Ruth Baggett in the church office (615-271-2600, mckendreeinfo@gmail.com.
