John Wesley was the founder of the Methodist movement that began in England within the Anglican Church. Wesley was an Anglican priest. The Methodist movement became the Methodist Church in America. 

​

We are going to spend five weeks in worship listening to some of John Wesley’s most famous words taken from some of his sermons. You may not like history and so this may sound like a great time to take a five-week vacation from worship. Please don’t do that or wait until mid-February to come for the first time. Almost any sermon you have ever heard has been a conversation between several people. The expected participates of the conversation are the Trinity (God, Son, & Holy Spirit), the Word of God (the Bible), the person preaching the sermon, those listening or reading the sermon, and any person or resource the preacher uses to prepare the sermon. So, for these services one of the primary persons involved in the conversation will be John Wesley. 

​

God gives us Holy Conversations that are most often our prayers, but God also gives us Holy Conversations that come in the form of sermons. I hope you will join God’s Holy Conversation at Hand Memorial UMC in the coming weeks. It won’t be the same without you. 

​

We invite you to join us each week either in person, online, or local TV channels CNS 6 and MediaCom 96. Please see details here on our website about our current safety precautions, along with videos of worship services, and Daily Prayer. If you have questions, please contact us and we hope to see you soon.

God’s Grace & Peace, 

​

Rev. Kathy
