A Prayer Quilt is a personal quilt, tied with heavy thread. These threads are tied with a square knot by members of the congregation during a worship service. As each knot is tied, a silent prayer is offered for the person receiving the quilt. The quilts are made by the Prayer Quilt Ministry who are all volunteers. And they invite you to join them tomorrow, Saturday, 9/15 at 9 a.m. in Room 300 for their monthly work party. You do not need to know how to quilt or even sew, as there are both sewing and non-sewing tasks to do. #prayerquiltministry #prayerquilt #santamonicaumc #firstumcsantamonica #3rdsaturdays #prayersandsquares To learn more or request a quilt go to: www.santamonicaumc.org/prayerquiltministry (link in bio)

“Whoever wants to be first must be last of all and servant of all.” – Mark 9:35 We come together this Sunday, a special day with some of our youth helping to lead worship. We gather in the midst of personal struggles, challenges in our communities, severe division in our nation and threats for our global future. In this place of Sanctuary, we listen for the voice of God. Whatever it is we bring, Jesus welcomes us right where we are, redirecting our need to be on top or “the greatest” into people who take time to see and care for others. As we follow Jesus’ way of self-giving love, our fears are transformed into hope and we become participants in God’s kingdom of peace and justice, here and now. See you in worship, –Tricia Guerrero #santamonicaumc #firstumcsmsanctuary @triciajill #firstumcsantamonica #sundayservice #youthministrydirector #umyfsantamonica
