September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and these courageous moms are fighting for their kids, who are among the 10,000 children diagnosed with cancer annually in the U.S.  "Our kids, kids who are fighting cancer, cannot do it without the help of donors," says Christine O’Connell. “They need blood, they need platelets often during treatment.” Watch these incredible moms donate blood together and join the fight. Schedule your appointment to donate blood at the Marysville United Methodist Church Blood Drive on September 23^rd and honor those who are fighting to heal during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month!  The bloodmobile will be in the parking lot for the day.  Plan for an hour to get thru the full donation process, and know that you are helping to save a life!  All donors need to check in with photo ID

Christian Nationalism Book Study
Have you been wondering what Christian Nationalism is?  Would you like a place to learn more and discuss your questions in a small group setting?  Pastor Meredith will be leading a book
group on Christian Nationalism using the book Jesus and John Wayne by Kristin Kobes du Mez.  We will meet again June 17, and July 1, all at 6 pm.  Please read Chapters 1-5 before our first meeting.

Banned Books for Faithful People
Does knowing a book has been banned automatically pique your interest? Join us as we discuss banned books as faithful people. We discuss how the author’s writing, the characters, and the settings can offer insights for Christians today. You do not have to condone everything a character does to practice compassion, curiosity, and generate questions for our faith in today’s world. Our group selected Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Fahrenheit 451, ironically, is a book about book censorship that frequently is targeted and shows up on banned book lists. All are invited to join us on June 9, at 2:00 pm at the church in the library, we will determine our schedule going forward at that time.

Please show up even if you have not finished the reading—you have enough world experience to contribute—there will be plenty to discuss.

Questions? Please reach out to Pastor Tanya: pastortanya@marysvilleumc.org.

Are you new to our congregation? Come get to know the congregation and Pastor Meredith a bit better. We'll meet after worship in the Green room.

11:00 am Service Town Hall
Everyone who enjoys participating in the 11:00 am Contemplative Worship Service is invited to a Town hall discussion on Sunday, May 31 immediately following worship in the Green Room. We’ve changed the Order of Worship and the style of this service in this year, and we’d love a chance to get feedback. What is most important to you about the worship service? What is helpful and less helpful? What would you like to see? Pastor Meredith would love feedback to consider over the summer as we prepare for another season together in the fall. See you there!

Pentecost is the celebration of the gift and power of the Holy Spirit. After Jesus’ death and resurrection, the disciples were not sure what would happen to them or what they should do. At best, they felt lost. At worst, they were worried that they, too, might face crucifixion. Instead, the Holy Spirit empowered them to be the presence of Christ in the world, changing people’s lives and building God’s community. On Pentecost, we celebrate the power of the Holy Spirit that reminds us who we are and empowers us to do God’s work. Join us as we celebrate Pentecost on May 24th at 9:30 & 11:00 am.
