Our Vision and Mission and Core Values Statements

Mission Appeal for Philippine Disasters from the UMC

Subject: Churchwide Appeal for Philippines Disasters

 

Dear Church,

 

The Council of Bishops and the Connectional Table, meeting in Lake Junaluska, N.C., in early November made an urgent appeal to the people of The United Methodist Church to ease the suffering of our sisters and brothers in the Philippines. Recent flooding and subsequent landslides have claimed lives and caused great suffering. The death toll exceeds 1,000 because of four successive typhoons and the related health issues that followed. With more than 9 million persons affected, an estimated 1.3 million persons are displaced while the economic and agricultural impact is still being assessed.

 

The Churchwide Appeal for Philippines Disasters will provide humanitarian relief and support the ministries and congregations of The United Methodist Church in the Philippines. We hope you will designate a Sunday to give your congregation an opportunity to participate in this churchwide appeal. Please direct gifts made through local churches to the conference treasurer’s office, marked Churchwide Appeal for Philippines Disasters, No. 818-002-PHP. Your conference treasurer will forward contributions to the General Council on Finance and Administration (GCFA). You may also donate online at http://www.UMCappeal.org.

 

Our United Methodist brothers and sisters desperately need our support. More than 200,000 United Methodists in 1,372 local churches in the Philippines pray that we will stand beside them through these storms.

 

In Christ,

 

Bishop Gregory V. Palmer, President, The Council of Bishops

Bishop John Hopkins, Chairperson, The Connectional Table

RETHINK!

Powered by the Holy Spirit, 'Rethink Church' serves as a catalyst that moves the denomination, and those we hope to reach, into dialogue -- and ultimately, into transformative, collaborative action. What if church were a verb? What would it look like? What if there were 10,000 doors into church?  Watch the video by clicking here.  Then send your thoughts and ideas to rethink@parkerumc.org

Prayer - Daily Offices

As I mentioned in the sermon on Feb. 25th, Kathleen Flood has come up with a way to observe the 7 offices of prayer during the day from the Benedictines in a way that is possible when you do not live in a monastery. The purpose of these is to bring us back into contact and conversation with God throughout the day. The Latin name for the office is followed by the times.  Click here for the 7 offices and the times.

You might try this out over Lent. Also you might try the empty chair that I mentioned. Let me know if either helps your prayer life.

Grace and peace,

Pastor Mike

WELCOME TO PARKER UNITED METHODIST CHURCH

"INSPIRING THROUGH CHRIST THE LOVE OF GOD AND NEIGHBOR."

11805 S. Pine Drive, Parker, CO 80134 OFC 303 841-3979, FAX 303-805-8955 EMAIL office@parkerumc.org

Worship Services Times - Communion is served each Sunday at 8am and on the 1st Sunday of the month at 9:30am & 11am

• Our 8:00 am Worship uses a traditional liturgy with traditional hymns and music led by the Good News Choir to help us center our worship experience. Children are encouraged to participate in the Children's Church after the Children's Sermon during this service. 
  
• Our 9:30 am Worship is more informal with the same hymns as the 8:15 and fewer parts of the regular United Methodist liturgy. This worship has a variety of musical styles led by our largest choir, The Chorale.
• Our 11:00 am Worship is a contemporary service experience led by a praise band singing lots of celebration music.
  

In all three services the sermon is based on the same scriptures with a slight variation in style. We hope you will find that one of these three services enhances your sense of God's presence as you worship.
