Discerning Who is Mulberry UMC?
Who do we want to be?
What can we be?
How are we viewed in our community
and to each other?
These questions help us frame our place of
contribution to the kingdom of God.
In an effort to answer these questions,
Roger Ross, Director of Congregational
Excellence for the Missouri Annual
Conference, will be joining us in the coming
weeks and months. Roger will be here to
listen and learn on his first visit. Roger has
pastored churches that have lots in common
with Mulberry, and is uniquely qualified to
make recommendations and offer counsel.
“Let the wise hear and increase in learning,
and the one who understands obtain
guidance…” Proverbs 1:5
Look for a sign-up sheet in the church office
to allow your voice to be heard.
Each group will be limited to 8 persons.
The first listening session will be
on April 28, 2018.
This is an exciting time to be a part of
Mulberry United Methodist Church,
and your perspectives are critical to the next
chapter of our Church life.
