Welcome to Macedonia UMC
We're glad you're here! We feel The United Methodist Church of Macedonia is ''The Church You Will Love'', even if you haven't been to church in awhile! We want your worship experience with us to be relaxed and enjoyable. We believe you will hear a message that is relevant to your everyday life and you will experience the warmth and friendliness of the congregation.
We strive to be a church that cares. We hope this will be a place where you can make new friends and find encouragement to grow in your Christian faith.

Join us this Sunday
When you enter the church at the east or west entrances, you will be welcomed by one of our greeters in our large open Narthex. They can help you with any questions you might have or direct you to the Welcome Center where someone will be happy to help you find your way around or escort you to the classroom for your child.
We look forward to having you worship with us and hope to see you soon!

A Short Term Disciple Bible Study
A Survey of the All the Books of the New Testament
Two Opportunities to Attend
Only Eight Short Weeks - Done Before Thanksgiving
Four reasons to sign up
1. Disciple has proved to be the best United Methodist resource for transforming lives and forming disciples of Jesus Christ in our generation.
2. We will be studying the books of the new testament
a. Gospels-The life, teachings, death and resurrection of Jesus
b. History- The founding of the church and its early triumphs and trial
c. Correspondence and essays -- The letters and writings of Paul, John , Peter and others as the church grows
d. Prophecy- It may not be as scary as you think!!
3. I will be offering the same class on two different days, Sunday and Tuesday night starting on September 19 and 21. Sunday has been the usual night for Disciple and Tuesday has been the day for the Beth Moore Study. If you have come in the past, come again but this time invite someone else to come with you and get the blessing you got from being in small group bible study!!
4. Usually Disciple asks for the commitment of a whole year, but this survey course is less intensive and will be completed in eight weeks. We should be done before Thanksgiving and the holiday rush.
Sign up and receive a book on Rally Day Sunday, September 12 so that you can be prepared for class the next week.
You really oughta come!!!
-Rev. Larry Hukill

A Message from your Stephen Ministers...
Taking Care of Myself. How can God help us? Well, today I will remember that all of the change I am going through is stressful and that I need to take particularly good care of myself in these recovery months or years. I will get extra rest. Inner growth at this accelerated rate is exhausting, and I need more rest and sleep than usual. I will simplify my life and make my day manageable, letting go of what does not really need to be accomplished and doing the basics. I need time to process the changes taking place inside of me, empty, quiet time just to watch the clouds float by. I will do things that feel particularly good to me whatever they are and I will eat well and exercise. These are challenging days, so I'll learn to be good to myself.
As Stephen Ministers, if we can guide you through the trials and tribulations of life, please contact our church office at 330-467-3169 or Andy Bell at 330-467-2184. May God continue to be with you always.
