Larry Hays will lead this week's message at both traditional services. New Life! - 8:45 am Our New Life! worship service meets in the Fellowship Hall. This service offers contemporary music from one of our praise bands and a more experiential worship style. Rev. Mandy Taylor Young will lead this week's New Life! service.
Weekly Message from the Pastor There are some very special times ahead that I want to make sure you have on your calendar. Some are worship times, some are other types of inspiration and information, and some are times for us to simply be the Body of Christ in mission and ministry. Here is the list: - March 14 at 7:00 pm. Missionary Paul Hamelryck from Zambia will be here to share his story and to tell ofsome of the incredible work he is doing, especially among the children of Zambia, many of whom are orphans. Come and hear his inspiring story. - March 28-31 West Metro Holy Week Services. As we do each year during Holy Week, the churches gather at a different place each night to remember this crucial week in the life of our Savior. We will host the service on Sunday night, and the preacher will be Dr. Albert Aymer, the Dean of Hood Theological Seminary. Dr. Aymer is a native of Antigua and is one of the great preachers of our day. We will include a complete listing of the places and preachers in upcoming newsletters and bulletins. - April 1 will be our Holy Thursday (Maundy Thursday) Service. Our Youth are preparing a very special presentation for that evening, and we will share the traditional Maundy Thursday Holy Communion remembering the Last Supper of our Lord. Following that, we will strip the altar to prepare for the somber mood of Good Friday. - April 4 will be Easter Sunday! On Easter we will have three distinct worship experiences. We will begin at 8:00 am with the redressing of the altar and preparing the sanctuary for the celebration of the resurrection. Our Easter Breakfast, prepared by our United Methodist Men, will begin at 8:30 and will be served until 10:00 in the Fellowship Hall. New Life! Worship will begin at 9:30 and will be held in the Sanctuary. Sunday school classes will decide their own schedule for that day. Our great Traditional Celebration of Resurrection will be at 11:15. What an exciting day with something for everyone! - May 30 will be our first Unity Service. OnFifth Sundays this year, we will celebrate the things that bring us together and bind us together as we have one huge worship time. The first one will be May 30, and since it is the day before Memorial Day, the theme will be giving thanks for those who have served. Our music will be patriotic, with brass and combined choirs, and we hope to have a video presentation of all those from the Mt. Hebron family who have served their country. We will also take a look at the things that made this nation great as we seek to reclaim some of those values. Sunday school that day will be at 9:00, and the combined worship will be at 10:15, with lunch together at the conclusion of worship. Our plan is to have a Unity Service on each of the fifth Sundays (4) of the year. The August Unity Service will be contemporary, and the October Unity Service will be an All Saints’ Service. We also plan to have one service on the day after Christmas this year, as Christmas falls on Saturday. As you can see, there are a lot of great experiences in store for us in the coming weeks. I hope you will go ahead and put all these on your calendar and make plans not to miss any of the upcoming opportunities. I look forward to seeing you at all of them. God’s Peace, Larry
