Acolyte Training - Whether you have been an Acolyte

over the past couple of years or if you have always been
interested in being an acolyte but have yet to be involved,
we will hold an acolyte training on Sunday, Aug. 28 from
5-7pm at the church. Training is required to be an acolyte
in the upcoming year. Please go to www.moumc.org/forms
to sign up (required). Acolyting is a wonderful way for youth
in grades 6-12 to be in service and leadership during our
Sunday morning services. This year we will be making some
changes to the acolyte ministry, including giving youth an
opportunity to read scripture, lead prayers and other liturgy
during the services.

Missouri UMC office run like a well-oiled machine? Want
to be a friendly face in the office and lend a hand for
various administrative tasks? Wed love to talk to you about

or Jo Lee at 443-3111 or by sending an email to contact.us@

like to thank the anonymous donors who are funding the new
fall joy card our ministry will be using. Remember, if you

help, please leave a note in the Barnabas box located in the
church office.
