Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

MAH OPEN HOUSE
Everyone is invited to join Paul and Twyla Mah in celebrating 25 years of marriage at an open house this Sunday, June 12. It will be from 2:00-4:00pm in the Downtown Mitchell FUMC dining room.
BREIDENBACH CARD SHOWER
Please join us in a card shower celebrating the Breidenbach’s 60th wedding anniversary. Help us make George and Pat’s diamond anniversary even more special by sending a card to 737 E 14th, Mitchell, SD, 57301. Everyone is also welcomed to join them in a reception in the gathering area after worship on Sunday, June 26th.
MUISC PREFERENCE SURVEY
As we look to the fall, the plan is to go back to two Sunday morning worship services. The early service will be at 9:17am and the second service will be at 11am. Sunday School will begin at 9:30am. We are still considering which service, contemporary or traditional, will go in which time slot. We are also hoping to start a second Praise Team to add to our variety of musicians helping lead worship. You can help our leadership out as we consider these decisions by filling out a brief survey. Click here to take the survey.

PEACE WITH JUSTICE SUNDAY
This Sunday, June 12th, is Peace with Justice Sunday. On Peace with Justice Sunday, we partner with other United Methodist congregations in a special offering to support advocacy around the world. Together we strengthen God’s creation with ministries that challenge structures of inequality. We empower people and communities through systemic change in ways that bring true and lasting peace with justice. We have envelopes at both worship center entrances for you to place your donation or put it in the offering and mark it “Peace with Justice.”
