United Methodist Church of Mantua

This Sunday is Palm Sunday. We will be celebrating Jesus triumphal entry into the city with palm branches. As we prepare for Sunday morning, are we willing to recognize that Jesus is Lord of all? Can we claim that, not generally, but for us personally? What does it mean that the stone that the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone?

“The important thing is this: To be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become.” Charles du Bos

Mark 14:32-40 (The Message)
When you are tired or discouraged, how do you refuel?

Together we can do more than any one of us can do alone.

For Sunday: Scripture: Mark10:17-22; Mark 12:41-44
How do you feel when you think about money and budgets?

“The kind of work God usually calls you to . . . is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.” Frederick Buechner

As we journey to hope, something to think about for Sunday….How do our personal desires get in the way of moving the whole community of faith towards hope?

To wish you were someone else is to waste the person you are. (Sven Goran Eriksson)

To think about…..

Who do people say you are? How are they right? How are they wrong?

Something to think about as we prepare for worship on Sunday:

Think about a friend in your life who lifted you up when you were down. What difference did it make in your life?
