This week, we're going to be starting a new message series here at Fredericktown United Methodist Church called "Connect." This is a series where we learn about how we United Methodists practice our faith through our membership vows. We are a connectional church, meaning we believe in supporting, helping, and leaning on each other in order to accomplish things that are greater than we ever could on our own. John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, said that there is no holiness but social holiness, meaning that holiness is something we receive in and through community. Journeying through our membership vows, we will learn about how we can connect to God, to each other, and to our community through our prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness. Join with us as we learn about being uniquely United Methodist.
