Sunday, May 31, 2026, Trinity Sunday — Ephesians 4:1-6

1 As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

The faith community is constantly bombard with questions about the reality of God. They would like us to point to God so that God might be seen with our eyes. That we look for God to be revealed in tangible places that we can point to and see with our eyes is — in some ways — a curiosity of the mind and spirit. It’s not that we all believe that God can’t be found. It’s that we have yet to believe and act as if God is present within us. The entire act of giving ourselves over to Christ is an invitation to invite people to discover that God is alive and has taken up residence inside each of us. And yes, it is God’s Spirit that has filled us. But it is the indwelling of that Holy Spirit that is present to engage people who don’t know God to discover the reality of God in us and to live a life worthy of what it means to be so intimately connected to the Spirit of God.

Perhaps, unlike Paul, we have yet to become prisoners in the lord, doing what God would have us to do — living a life worthy of the calling to which we have been called — into a loving relationship with the fullness of God revealing itself in our love for one another. And maybe it’s not that God is hard to find. But maybe God is so hard to find because we’re searching for the Spirit of God everywhere else but inside of us. And until we can become prisoners for the Lord, those who choose another way, will always be searching for something that is already right here with us. God is everywhere present. So, of all the places the wholeness of God can be found, God is also here — in the fullness of God’s Spirit — seeking to become a living reality alongside us and living inside each of us leading, guiding, and helping us to live lives worthy of the Lord’s calling.

How would you help others understand that the wholeness of God is with you helping you to live a life worthy of being called a Christian?
As you examine your calling, what can you do to more greatly exhibit the presence of God in your life?

Todays Prayer

Today’s Prayer —
Holy and loving God, through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit we have now realized and experienced the fullness of Your presence in all of its glory. Let us so live that Your full glory may be revealed in each of us.

Saturday, May 30, 2026 — John 7:37-39

37 On the last day of the festival, the great day, while Jesus was standing there, he cried out, "Let anyone who is thirsty come to me, 38 and let the one who believes in me drink. As the scripture has said, "Out of the believer's heart shall flow rivers of living water." 39 Now he said this about the Spirit, which believers in him were to receive; for as yet there was no Spirit, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

The absence of the Holy Spirit from humanity was a long dry season. To believe that God would use the words of Jesus to quench the parched dry spiritual throats of those thirsting for relief was something that had been desired for centuries. In his presence, he represented the very Spirit of God present among the people. And his ability to quench the spiritual thirsts of people is as powerful today as it was when he spoke those words. And yet, there are still those who would rather die of thirst than trust that Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit are the answer to their life’s dilemma. They continue to deny who he is and drink from the source of His Holy Spirit to find the relief that we all need. We only need to come and drink, quenching our thirst for spiritual water, able to meet the diverse needs of any and all who are willing to come.

Todays Prayer

Today’s Prayer —
Holy God, refresh my spirit by the presence of Your Spirit dwelling within me. Let me drink as I have need, realizing that only You can quench my thirst.

Friday, May 29, 2026 — Ephesians 2:17-20

17 So he came and proclaimed peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near; 18 for through him both of us have access in one Spirit to the Father. 19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are citizens with the saints and also members of the household of God, 20 built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone.

It is still a grievous experience to know that our understanding and acceptance of God is divided. While we all (Jews, Christians, Muslims and other monotheistic faiths) all agree that there is one God, we continue to refuse God’s offering of peace and unity in Christ. To some, the reality of accepting Jesus as God’s Son is the wall of division standing between people of different faiths. When in reality, there is no one else but God through Jesus Christ who has acted to tear down the wall of division. Christ is the only one that invites all to enter into a Holy relationship with God by the invitation of God’s grace offered by God through him. The Holy Spirit is proof of his authenticity and Christ is the cornerstone supporting God the Father and Christ the Son.

Todays Prayer

Today’s Prayer —
Gracious God, empower me by the gift of Your Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ to become an instrument of Spiritual unity in the human heart.

Adult Ministries

The Adult Ministries group at Mason Memorial Community Church is a spiritual group who’s goal is to help others grow to a mature faith in God while providing comradery and fellowship with the congregation. To be a focus point in our community, we select projects which will help the needs of others.

Some of the Adult Ministry’s projects/activities are as follows:

1. Sack lunches at the Willa Gill Center

2. Thanksgiving and/or Christmas Baskets

3. Angel tree gifts for children at Christmas

4. Parents Night Out which gives adults in the community and church time to fellowship along with Bible study and dinner. We also distribute Gospel/Bible tracts for discussion.

5. Sponsor an Annual Gospel Musical

6. Purchase gift cards for groceries & pharmaceuticals to help people in need in our congregation & community

7. Christmas caroling at nursing homes where our members reside The Adult Ministry group is always open to new ideas/suggestions and members. We embrace Matthew 9:37 “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few”.

Men's Ministry

The United Methodist Men’s ministry of our local church is a core group of men, partnering with their pastor, to invite and initiate spiritual growth opportunities for all men of the church. Everyone has different gifts, graces, and areas of interest. Therefore, opportunities for participation include diverse ministries of the church, such as

prayer groups
missions
Bible studies
Retreats
Workshops/Seminars
Discipleship Groups (small groups in the tradition of John Wesley where we hold each other accountable for our faith journey in Christ)

We encourage leading and participating on committees, teaching Sunday school classes, youth ministries, scouting, mentoring, and assisting in leading worship service. The focus is both inward and outward. Inward — concentrating on those who attend and participate in the ministries within the church, and outward — to all men, assisting them to engage in the process of spiritual growth.

Importance

Men lead others best by modeling Jesus Christ in thoughts, words, and deeds.
Spiritual maturity is signified in spiritual reproduction, as the faith of mature disciples passes on in others.
Men growing in Christ become effective spiritual leaders in their homes and congregations, working as partners with their spouses if they are married and congregational leaders-both lay and clergy.
Spiritually growing men help congregations to become vital and alive.
Everything desired from and through men comes as a result of men growing spiritually and maturing as disciples: family blessings, stewardship, service, outreach, prayer, spiritual leadership, lifestyle evangelism, and faithful obedience. Men are foundational to the life and health of the church.
When a man lives daily in surrendered faith, God is honored and many lives are blessed. Transformed hearts are forged when we surrender our hearts to Christ and center our lives in Christ.

Mission

Our mission is to support spiritual growth among men, helping men to mature as disciples as they encourage spiritual formation in others.

Goal

Our goal is to empower the ministry of Jesus Christ through men within our congregation as we seek to capture the vision of God for our church —

“to become a living example of Jesus Christ active in service to our community.”

Pathway

Our pathway is a lifelong commitment to spiritual growth to maturity as followers of Christ. Our spiritual formation is marked by spiritual reproduction as our faith.

Churches United for Justice

Churches United for Justice is a diverse and growing coalition of 17 churches throughout Wyandotte County. Members of these local parishes in Wyandotte county have come together based on the biblical imperative to “… do justice, ff.” (Micah 6:8), as well as Jesus’ reminder that while giving to the church is good, people of faith should pay more attention to the weightier matters of faith, justice, mercy, and faithfulness. (Matthew 23:23). In each of these reflections, justice is seen as primary for the health of the community and personal relationships. Justice in a biblical sense is the quality of being fair and reasonable. This often requires systemic change within communities.

The faiths participating in Churches United for Justice include United Methodist, Baptist, Philadelphia Bible, Peace and Fellowship, Church of Christ and Episcopal. These faith communities have come together believing that justice is a primary issue of faith and is the foundation of healthy relationships that build community.

Activity

Our church’s faith community participation is and will be in conjunction with the organization’s effort to focus on the need for affordable housing and curbing violence in our community.
