LIVING like Jesus, bringing JOY to God
Welcome to Worship, Bishop William McAlilly Mississippi native Bishop William McAlilly was elected a bishop of the Southeastern Jurisdiction of the United Methodist Church this past July and appointed to the Nashville Area. Previously, Bishop McAlilly served in a wide variety of ministry settings, from a small congregation in the Mississippi Delta, to a new church start in the suburbs of Memphis, to a new congregation in Madison, Miss., where the membership grew from 550 to 1,200 during his six-year ministry. After his appointment to the Katrina-ravaged Seashore District in 2006, many homes and churches were rebuilt and restored.
The Places that Matter
A Journey with Jesus toward Easter
March 2/3 March 9/10 March 16/17 March 23/24 March 30/31
During worship this Lent, join us on a journey to some of the significant places in Jesus’ life – the River Jordan, the wilderness, the Pool of Bethesda, the Mount of Olives & the Temple, the Upper Room, and the Empty Tomb. Discover in these places the issues that mattered to Jesus– and how these issues matter to us as well.
