McKENDREE MINISTRIES!

SUNDAY WORSHIP SERVICES are regularly at 9am and 11am. (On Fifth Sundays we have one combined worship service at 10am.) Our May sermon series is “Spiritual Disciplines: Doing the Little Things!”

ENCOUNTER@METROCENTER Our Encounter service will not be meeting this Sunday. We welcome everyone to join us on Sundays at 12:30pm, when 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. For more information on either of our Encounter Ministries, you may contact Rick Quinn at mckendreerick@gmail.com.

BAPTISMS If you are interested in being baptized, please contact Ruth in the church office at 615-271-2600 or mckendreeinfo@gmail.com.

REFRESH! is our mid-week gathering. We meet in the first floor chapel each Wednesday, 12:00-12:30pm. Our worship includes prayers, hymns, a message and Holy Communion. Everyone is invited to attend.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT BIBLE STUDY We are studying the book, He Chose the Nails, by Max Lucado. Our lesson for May 31 is Chapter 13, “I Can Turn Your Tragedy into Triumph.” We meet in Pastor Stephen’s office at 6pm, and everyone is welcome to join us!

CONGREGATIONAL PRAYER Remember that we as a church are praying the Lord’s Prayer every day at Noon. Wherever you are at noon, we invite you to join us in prayer.

FAREWELL RECEPTION There will be a reception on Sunday, June 4 at 10am to honor Jordan Callaway for his 18 years of service here at McKendree Church. Jordan will be leaving McKendree to pursue other career options. We pray God’s blessings on Jordan, Lacey and their family.
