Purposeful 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 The first listening session will be on Saturday, April 28, 2018. Call the church office (745-8601) to sign up so that your voice can be heard. Each group will be limited to 8 persons and will meet in the Conference Room. Times for listening sessions will be:
Saturday, April 28 1:00-1:45 pm (full)
2:00-2:45 pm 3:00-3:45 pm
Sunday, April 29
1:00-2:00 pm (full) 2:00-3:00 pm (full)
3:00-4:00 pm 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. David Baskette SPR Chair

Wednesday, May 2, 2018 Help Send East Macon Kids
to Camp Grace The mission of Camp Grace is to transform the lives of urban underserved children and youth through grace with overnight camps. We have found that getting our kids out of the city environment for extended overnight stays and showing them unconditional love and speaking into their lives is transforming our urban kids. We know from experience that what we are doing is starting to break the cycle of poverty, crime, teen pregnancy and the high school dropout rate.
You need a ticket for this event. There is no charge for the tickets but donations are appreciated. Pick up your ticket at Wednesday Night Supper or see Jeff Cook.
