Eighteenth Sunday

After Pentecost  

Proverbs 31:10-31 | Psalm 1

James 3:13-4:3, 7-8a | Mark 9:30-37

 

Serving others not only blesses those we help but also transforms our hearts, bringing joy and spiritual growth, while celebrating the collective impact of ministry within our church.​

​

Key Points:

  • Serving others transforms us, helping us grow in humility and compassion, while bringing deep spiritual fulfillment.

  • Acts of service lead to both external change in the community and internal spiritual transformation in those who serve.

  • The church’s collective service creates a ripple effect, enriching both the community and the congregation, fostering joy and growth.

Nineteenth Sunday 

after Pentecost

Esther 7:1-6, 9-10; 9:20-22 | Psalm 124
James 5:13-20 | Mark 9:38-50

​

Sustaining the mission of Christ requires inclusivity, avoiding stumbling blocks, and a commitment to purity and unity in ministry.​

​

Key Points:

  • Inclusivity in Ministry – Embrace others working for God’s kingdom, even if they are not part of your group.

  • Avoiding Stumbling Blocks – Be mindful of your actions, ensuring they do not hinder the faith of others.

  • Commitment to Purity and Unity – Pursue personal holiness and foster unity within the community to sustain the mission effectively.

We Aim to be Open and Welcoming
Even to the Smallest People...

In the back of the sanctuary, we have children's bulletins, paper, crayons, and books for children to use during worship.

 

We also have a moment in worship that is child-friendly called "Wondering Time." Anyone who wishes to get a closer view during our time to wonder about things is welcome to come sit on the front pew.

Recorded Services

YOU ARE WELCOME HERE ...

Whether you label yourself a "Christian," or are uncertain whether you believe in anything anymore, you are welcome to worship at Green Meadow United Methodist Church. Single, married, partnered, divorced, gay, rich, poor, USAmerican, or immigrant, you are welcome here. Burned out on religion -- whether organized or disorganized -- bedraggled and hungover, addicted or in recovery, just out of jail, 

you are welcome here. Have no idea about Holy Communion, hymnals, or when to stand or sit? Don't worry, we all have to begin somewhere. The most important thing is to begin.

We're glad you're here!

A MISSIONAL CHURCH

Whether it's building mission kits for flood victims, sending food buckets to Zimbabwe, working with Family Promise of Blount County, helping the Salvation Army's lunch ministry, or gathering peanut butter for the Community Food Connection, "Meadow Folk" are engaged in the missio Dei ... God's mission of love.

SUNDAY ACTIVITIES

Sunday mornings at Green Meadow are, in a way, much of what you would expect when you come to a United Methodist Church: we gather for Sunday School and we worship together. We also share a breakfast once a month, and in months where we have a fifth Sunday, we have a potluck dinner.
