Pastors Process in Easter Worship McKendree UMC Lawrenceville GA.jpg

 

Welcome to McKendree United Methodist Church

Welcome to McKendree United Methodist Church, where every single person matters, period. We invite people from all walks of life and hope they feel welcomed. We trust that when we worship together, serve together, pray together, eat together, and do life together that God is present. That changes everything!

Acolytes remind us that the light of Christ is present when we gather.

The VBS fun continues! Come celebrate day 5 of VBS with one service of worship, followed by lunch and fun! 

Lunch will be served in the Fellowship Hall directly after the service, and we will continue the party out in our back parking lot. Prepare to get wet as we will have a foam bubble cannon (water shoes are recommended)! We plan to make it a Deep Blue Sea adventure for everyone.

We need our church to show up and show out to welcome VBS families and show what fertile ground McKendree is. We will also need some folks to help set up, clean up, and for hospitality. Please let Sarah How know if you are available.
