🍽️ 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲! 🍽️

Join us tomorrow at 10:00 AM as we start our new Come to the Table series with “The Table of Hospitality.”

What does it really mean to make room for everyone at God’s table? ❤️

We’ll explore Jesus’ invitation to welcome ALL — saints and strangers, those who are celebrating and those who are hurting, and even those who may be different from us.

We’ll worship together, share in Holy Communion, and reflect on how we can take the hospitality we experience at God’s table and share it with others throughout the week.

"Calling Us Forward" at Mill Plain United Methodist Church, August 30, 2026

E-Devotion

A New Rhythm for Worship This September

This September, in addition to our new series “Come to the Table,” we're trying something new with the flow of our worship service — think of it as rearranging the furniture, not remodeling the house. Most of what you know and love stays exactly the same. But we're making one small shift: the pastoral prayer will now follow the sermon, and the offering will follow the pastoral prayer.

Why the change? We're leaning into a simple, ancient shape for worship: we gather, we hear God's Word, we respond to God's Word, and we are sent out to live it. Moving the prayer and offering to follow the sermon lets our response to what we've just heard flow naturally — we listen, we pray it into our hearts, and then we offer ourselves (and our gifts) back to God, before being sent into the week ahead.

We're calling this a season of trying it on for size — nothing is set in stone. If it deepens your worship, wonderful. If something feels off, we want to know that too. I'd love to hear your thoughts as we venture into this together — stop me in the hallway, send an email, or leave a note. This is our worship, shaped together.

💙 We are your Leadership Board!

As a Leadership Board, we wear many hats. We help guide our church through changing needs and seasons, and we also step into the work of SPR, Trustees, and Finance. But no matter which hat we are wearing, we keep our core identity and calling before us.

On Saturday, we took those hats off for a little while and gathered off-site for a Strategic Planning session. Together, we spent time looking ahead and identifying goals and objectives to help guide Mill Plain UMC over the next three years.

We’re excited to share the results of this work with the congregation on September 20, followed by a Town Hall meeting on September 27 for an interactive conversation and opportunity to engage with the plan.

Through all of this work, we continue to be grounded in who we are:

🌈 **You Are Welcome Here**
Mill Plain UMC welcomes people of all ages, races, gender identities, gender expressions, sexual orientations, abilities, and immigration status. **Truly, all are welcome here.**

🌱 **Our Purpose**
Our purpose is to grow as disciples of Jesus Christ and nurture inclusive community in Vancouver and beyond.

💙 **Our Vision**
Our dream is to be a community of faith, where all are welcomed, nurtured, and empowered to find connection. We strive to live out our faith through courageous love, compassionate service, and the pursuit of social justice. We seek to be a beacon of Christ’s hope and healing in our community and beyond, making a lasting difference in our world.

These are more than words on a page. They are the foundation we return to as we discern where God is leading Mill Plain UMC next.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to serve—and excited about what’s ahead! 💙
