Intercourse United Methodist Church

Intercourse United Methodist Church In*******se UMC invites everyone to join us for weekly Sunday worship and Bible Study.

In*******se United Methodist Church, located in the heart of Lancaster County Pennsylvania is a community of faith serving the spiritual needs of parishioners, neighbors, as well as visitors from around the corner and around the world. We are a small United Methodist community of faith with roots in the United Brethren tradition. We welcome all visitors, and have many visitors/sojourners who are v

acationers and sightseers enjoying the beautiful Lancaster countryside. We are comprised of professed members, regular local visitors, and our extended family of visitors from as far away as Connecticut and North Carolina who attend several times a year. We offer traditional worship on Sunday mornings with scripture- based extemporaneous preaching by our Pastor, Dr. David Knotts.

INTENTION FOR JUNE 25 Most people just want to be happy, which is fine, though we all realize that happiness is fleeting at best. To be at peace, however, is more enduring, though more challenging. In our prayer lives today, let us seek our Lord’s peace which passes all understanding remembering, in addition, that being at peace is less of a goal than the starting point of our daily living.

INTENTION FOR JUNE 24: Laughter is a gift from our Lord. It helps to create the distance necessary for perspective; laughter can lighten our burdens, and it can free us from loneliness. Bringing laughter to someone else can bring light and life to their soul. In our prayer lives today, let us seek to bring a smile to someone's face as well as our own.

INTENTION FOR JUNE 23: Generally, people strive for efficiency in their lives, achieving a positive result in the least amount of time, with the least amount of effort and energy necessary. Let us remember that our Lord, however, operates from a different perspective, the Fullness of Time. In our Lord’s economy things occur when they are supposed to according to His plan. In our prayer life let us strive to live into the Fullness of our Lord's time in our daily lives

06/22/2026

INTENTION FOR JUNE 22: We acknowledge our Lord as the giver of every good and perfect gift, gifts which are pressed down, and over-flowing. Yet, do we instantly recognize a gift from our Lord? One of the gifts which our Lord gives to us as children is wonder, seeing beauty in little things, possibilities in ordinary objects, pleasure in simple acts; as we get older, we tend to discount or not recognize this most marvelous of gifts. In our prayer lives today, let us seek to renew in us a sense of wonder.

06/21/2026

INTENTION FOR JUNE 21: Today someone's heart will break; today someone's cherished dreams will be dashed, today someone's world will end. In our prayer lives today, let us remember that being a caring and compassionate friend are a key part of what our Lord means by "love thy neighbor." Today may we strive to be a faithful listener.

06/20/2026

INTENTION FOR JUNE 20: Scripture reminds us that our Lord shines his light into the darkness and the darkness does not overcome it. In our prayer lives today, let us reflect on where we have our dark corners and where is our Lord’s presence shining his light into them today and, perhaps where we would rather He not.

06/19/2026

INTENTION FOR JUNE 19: “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain” (Ex. 20:7) I somehow imagine that our Lord is less concerned about his name spoken in our profanity than about our profaning his name when we use him to justify our own narrow self-interests while at the same time deciding who is or is not “worthy” of having access to the bounties and riches of his world. In our prayer lives today, may we submit ourselves to our Lord’s scrutiny that not only our thoughts, words and deeds, but more importantly our motives, are acceptable to him.

06/18/2026

INTENTION FOR JUNE 18: Illness not only touches the one who is ill, but many others: spouses, parents, children, family and friends as well. In our prayer lives today, let us pray for those whose lives are intersected with illness of body, soul, mind, or spirit, as well as those who love them, who care about them or care for them.

06/17/2026

INTENTION FOR JUNE 17: Gardening requires patience; the flowers and veggies cannot be willed into growing any faster, the harvest cannot be rushed, and there are always weeds to be attended to. In our prayer lives today, let us focus on the truth that nurturing the garden of our soul requires patience and persistence, as well as the humility to remember that we are only the assistant gardeners.

06/16/2026

INTENTION FOR JUNE 16: Our Lord's will for our lives is rarely revealed in a flash of revelation, but more often in the experiences of the unfolding journey of seeking. The arms which embraced the cross, embrace us with divine patience. In our prayer lives today, let us remember that we must be patient with our Lord as we are invited daily further into the unfolding journey toward the mystery of divine grace.
