Missions Celebration – April 19-21

We are blessed to host this celebration each spring and to be in the presence of wonderful missionaries who serve in the name of Jesus Christ all over the world. The Mission Celebration Weekend is full of learning, worshiping, and fellowship. There will also be opportunities for children to participate.

Stephen Ministers

On Sunday, April 7th, Boone United Methodist commissioned 13 new Stephen Ministers. These people have been through 50 hours of specialized training in Christian caregiving and join a team of three Stephen Leaders at Boone United Methodist. Stephen Ministers provide confidential one-to-one Christian care to people experiencing a crisis or going through a difficult time. Stephen Ministers meet weekly with their care receiver for around an hour to listen, care, encourage, pray, and provide emotional and spiritual support for the person. Caring relationships last for as long as the person’s need persists. The Stephen Ministries organization is based in St. Louis but serves more than 11,000 congregations representing 150 Christian denominations worldwide.

Please lift up our new Stephen Ministers in your prayers, asking that God bless their ministry and work through them to bring hope and healing to those they are serving.

Congratulations Confirmands

A wonderful Spirit-filled event.

Dear 6th Grade Youth,

You are invited on a very important journey – Confirmation!
What is Confirmation? Being in middle school, you are at a special age when you are not only making more decisions for yourself but also may find yourself questioning what you believe. Confirmation is a great time to ask those questions. Confirmation refers to the decision a person makes to respond to God’s grace with intentional commitment, publicly reaffirming his or her baptismal vows before the congregation. We offer a deliberate time of preparation before this service.
Want to know more? Contact the church office @ 264-6090.

Stephen Ministry

Caring nurtures the seed of God’s love in the hearts of both the care-receiver and the caregiver. Stephen Ministry training will equip you to show God’s mercy, care and compassion to another who is hurting. Is God calling you to take a more active role in Christian caregiving? Then Stephen Ministry may be what you are looking for.
