Mt. Zion United Methodist Church, Anabel, Missouri

Mt. Zion friends, here is the service from First UMC Kirksville from this morning. My apologies for not getting this shared sooner. It's been a very busy few days!

Mt. Zion Friends, this Sunday will be a little different for worship! In-person will be our graduate recognition and a hymn sing. This service will not be streamed live as Pastor Cheryl will not be there. For our online guests, I will be sharing the lay-lead service from Kirksville First UMC. Clergy will be participating in online Annual Conference services this weekend.

Join us for worship online - service begins at 9:45 am.

Sunday school starts back up tomorrow at 9 am!

Join us this Sunday for Communion and the beginning of a new sermon series! Week 1 - On the Road Week 2 - Singspiration (Pastor Cheryl at Annual Conference) Week 3 - Weary Travelers... Week 4 - Bumps in the Road Week 5 - Going Home See more

Here's the recording of the Christmas Eve service if you weren't able to join us on Zoom! Thank you for your patience and understanding. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fmrLrAz95E&feature=youtu.be

I am having internet issues and Facebook issues today. I keep losing connection and I am not sure Facebook is going to cooperate with me this evening. I have spent all day yesterday and today preparing for this and am sending apologies in advance if this does not work tonight. As a precaution, I am going to plan to broadcast on Zoom as well. It will be set up so that your video and audio are off. Join Zoom Meeting... https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84810203589 Meeting ID: 848 1020 3589 Passcode: 233272

I am looking for a few folks to record special music for our Christmas Eve service! You can pre-record it on your phone (ideally, turn the phone sideways so the video is horizontal) and then I will give you a link to upload it to a dropbox. If you can help out, please let me know ASAP. Thanks! (It's ok if you can't - just trying to plan out the online Christmas Eve service in advance.)

Join us here on Facebook at 7 pm for a special online Christmas Eve service. Come "Home for Christmas" with us!

Please send photos for the candlelight service ASAP! If you don't have candles and want to be included you can send a regular individual or family photo. Thanks!

On this longest night of the year, as the Christmas Star shines in the sky, we are spreading the light of hope throughout the world. Share this post and shine light into the darkness! Let's spread the light of hope virtually throughout the world.

Please email, text, or message a photo of you/your family holding candles (battery powered ok!) to Pastor Cheryl for our online candlelight Christmas Eve service. I need these by Dec. 21 so I have time to make the video collage before Christmas Eve! Thank you! I would love to see your smiling faces in the photos if possible! <3

There are still some Advent kits for kids at the church if you haven't picked yours up already! Grab one for a friend too!

The Christmas story, as told by children. Enjoy!
