Morning/Night Light Starting Soon

Starting February 8th, our Morning Light and Night Light women’s Bible study resumes with a 7-week study of The Armor of God, by Priscilla Shirer.

About the study: All day, every day, an invisible war rages around you — unseen, unheard, yet felt throughout every aspect of your life. A devoted, devilish enemy seeks to wreak havoc on everything that matters to you: your heart, your mind, your marriage, your children, your relationships, your resilience, your dreams, your destiny. But his battle plan depends on catching you unaware and unarmed. If you’re tired of being pushed around and caught with your guard down, this study is for you.

The Enemy always fails miserably when he meets a woman dressed for the occasion. The Armor of God, more than merely a biblical description of the believer’s inventory, is an action plan for putting it on and developing a personalized strategy to secure victory.

PLEASE take note of these items:

  1. Books: Books will be distributed at the first session. If you are unable to afford the book, please contact us before the first session and we will prearrange to have a free book for you.
  2. Childcare: We are HAPPY to staff our childcare rooms (which will also be in the chapel building) to meet the needs of your preschool age children 0-5 years, but we need you to pre-register them ASAP. Please contact us to do so and to give us the ages of your preschool child(ren) who will be attending with you by Wednesday the 6th at the latest. Please note: There will be no childcare available for Night Light.

We hope you will join us for this time of interactive personal study and group discussion because we believe that Jesus is mighty, miraculous, and merciful, and none of us will be the same when we turn the last page!

No Sunday Activities for January 7, 2018

Due to the hazardous road conditions and frigid cold, we have decided to cancel all Sunday activities at Evangelical Methodist Church for January 7, 2018. We do not want to jeopardize anyone’s safety, so please keep safe and warm and check in on friends and neighbors.

Pastor Sean will still be preaching via Facebook Live at 10:30am from Mark 1:40-45. This is his first sermon of the new series, The Untouchables. To tune in, please visit the EMC Facebook page (facebook.com/ecityemc) and be sure to click the ‘Like’ and ‘Follow’ buttons for updates and notifications (see picture below).

May God bless you and your family as you worship together this very cold and icy weekend!

The Untouchables

A leper. A cripple. A sinner. A man possessed by devils. A bleeding woman. A dead girl. All persons whose paths crossed Jesus. All broken. All dirty. By the standards of ordinary people, all untouchable.

But Jesus is no ordinary person.

The Son of God came into the world to touch it. To transform it. To make all things new. He wasn’t disgusted by our “stuff.” He didn’t avoid it, instead he touched it and made it clean.

This collection of sermons from the gospel of Mark are about those who needed a touch the most – those who were avoided, were reviled, who were written off by the world. But Jesus reached out to them and changed their lives forever, something he’s still in the business of doing today.

“Jesus reached out and touched him.” (Mark 1:41)

Christmas Choir Cantata

Please join us Sunday, December 10th at 10:15am for our Christmas Cantata, “Night of the Father’s Love: The Awe and Mystery of God with Us.”

The night of the Father’s love….
the night the ancient prophecies were fulfilled;
the night of the angelic announcement of the birth as the star shone brightly above, leading others to witness this incredible gift of love from God in Human form – the Christ Child.
