Magnolia
United Methodist Church

Welcome


“The Church is not a group of people who believe all the same things; the Church is a group of people caught up in the same story, with Jesus at the center."

-Rachel Held Evans

At Magnolia United Methodist Church, church is more than just a building, or a Sunday morning service. All are welcome, to participate in any or all of our commuinities, as you choose, and as you are. Doubter or believer, gay or straight, documented or undocumented, you are welcome here.  Together, we make a community, centered on Christ's love, existing to serve God's love and mercy to our neighbors.

New Website Page: Take Action

In light of the recent election, there are likely to be policies put in place over the next months and years which severely hurt significant portions of our society (women, lgbtq+, foreigners and assylum seekers, the unhoused, those with poor health, and more).  The United Methodist Church is committed to serving Christ by caring for the marginalized.  As such, please visit our "Take Action" page for links to ways to work for justice and mercy in our society.  You will find the page here.

This Week's Service (Nov 17, 2024): Do Not Be Alarmed - A Feral Hope (Mark 13:1-8)

In today’s Gospel reading, we will be confronted with a fairly apocalyptic and scary sounding text.  But despite the horrors described, Jesus is there saying, “Do Not Be Alarmed. This is not the end. These are just birth pains.” And throughout the struggles of life, Jesus is walking with us, guiding us through the rough times, like a doula helping a birthing mother through the pain and into the joy that waits on the other side.  While the texts seem heavy, they are in fact, texts to teach us a tenacious, wild, feral hope that cannot be overcome, regardless of the difficulties and worries of our times.  And so today, let’s listen to Christ’s call to Not be Alarmed. The Story is not over. And let’s lean into this beautiful hope which we have been given.  The pains of birth lead to the joy of new life.
