Hospital Calls/Pastoral Visits
Hospitals do not inform churches/pastors when a parishioner is admitted.
That practice was discontinued as a consequence of HIPAA legislation.
Therefore, we ask that you alert the church office when you are admitted
to a hospital, when you will have a scheduled hospital stay or when you
would like to receive a pastoral visit. The same would hold true when you
learn of someone else in our church family experiencing health and/or
life challenges. Your pastoral staff wants to walk with you and remind you
of Gods love and grace at such times. Someone is available throughout
the week to make hospital calls and pastoral visits. After hours, you can
email or leave a voice mail at 443-3111 that we can pick up the next work
weekday.

 Growing D eeply
a daily scripture guide
Week of June 12- June 17
MONDAY: Psalm 139:1-6 Closeness
When we have a best friend, we have a bond a closeness that is unshakable.
The Psalmist describes this type of relationship with God. God knows us and
loves every aspect of our being.
REFLECTION: Reflect on this type of relationship with a close friend or relative.
Now imagine how having this type of closeness with God could shape your life.
TUESDAY: Romans 12:4-10 Fellowship
This passage speaks of living in fellowship with one another, accepting and
celebrating our individual gifts and abilities.
CONSIDER: Consider a group that you are in. Consider how the differences
among the members can make the group stronger.
WEDNESDAY: Romans 12:4-10 Support
This passage ends with a challenge of support to all of us. We are to love one
another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honor.
REFLECTION: Reflect on this concept of love and respect. Reflect on the
positive changes that could take place if within every group this supportive
relationship existed.
THURSDAY: Matthew 25:35-40 Mission
The writer of Matthew records this lesson given by Christ to help his followers
understand that they were not to live in isolation. The decisions they made and
their behaviors affected others. Jesus challenges us to see the Christ in all and
care for them accordingly.
QUESTION: Where in my life have I done to the least as I would to Christ?
Where in my life do I need to strive to be more attentive to the needs around
me?
Celebrating United Methodist Women - June 11
Scripture: Psalm 139:1-6 (NRSV)
1 O LORD, you have searched me and known me.
2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
you discern my thoughts from far away.
3 You search out my path and my lying down,
and are acquainted with all my ways.
4 Even before a word is on my tongue,
O LORD, you know it completely.
5 You hem me in, behind and before,
and lay your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
it is so high that I cannot attain it.
Romans 12:4-10 (NRSV)
For as in one body we have many members, and not all the members have the
same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually
we are members one of another. We have gifts that differ according to the
grace given to us: prophecy, in proportion to faith; ministry, in ministering; the
teacher, in teaching; the exhorter, in exhortation; the giver, in generosity; the
leader, in diligence; the compassionate, in cheerfulness.
Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; love one
another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honor.

the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

FRIDAY: 2 Peter 1:5-8 Connections Additional Scripture for This Week:

Scripture reminds us that our actions, behaviors, and beliefs are connected. 2 Matthew 25:35-40
Peter runs a beautiful strand from faith to love.
CONSIDER: Consider the connections listed in this passage. Consider how your 2 Peter 1:5-8
life reflects them and where your connections break down

SATURDAY: 2 Peter 1:5-8 A Life Time of Learning

We will never reach a time in our lives when learning stops. We should always
strive for greater understanding and development of the mind that God has
given us to use.
PRAYER: Gracious God, we thank you for your love for us. Help us as we strive
to connect with you through prayer and connect with others through care and

Downtown Parking Progress

The Parking Lot Task Force, led by MUMC Trustees Chair
Don Gruenewald and MUMC member Greg Cecil, has
worked the entire spring semester with the Mizzou
College of Engineering to brainstorm MUMCs parking
problem and propose a variety of solutions. Using the
free-of-charge expertise of a St. Louis construction
engineer, the students looked at viable means to
address our current parking issues. While the task force
may not have a solid answer to the problem yet, they
do have the various proposals stored on a jump drive
for our use, and best of all, the entire project was free
of charge and involved the college community!
