Mentor UMC iConnect
Let’s become the people we were meant to be – this is a series about moving in ONE direction toward Jesus! Join us not only on Sunday mornings, but also in one of our small groups as we go FORWARD together at Mentor UMC.
Can You Imagine?
What if you refused to change, or learn, or grow as a person? What would your life look like in a day? Month? Year? Decade?
2 Peter 1:3-7 NIV
Power Granted and Promises Given
Peter reminds us that God gives us the power, through His Holy Spirit, to be the people He’s commanded us to be. Have you accepted this power and promise?
Imparted God-Power = Faith
Our journey to become like Jesus begins with faith, participation in the nature of God – Our receptivity to God’s activity. How does it change things to rely on God’s power and not on our own?
Producing Goodness
Goodness here means an innate moral excellence. Who do you know who displays this quality? What would it look like if the Holy Spirit manifested goodness in YOUR life?
Hurricane Relief - UMCOR
Texas and Louisiana have been hit hard by Hurricane Harvey. Please pray for those who have been directly affected by this disaster and for those who are first responders.

There will be significant long term needs caused by this major event.
If you wish to make a financial contribution to the relief efforts, you can donate by writing a check to MUMC and writing in the memo line, “UMCOR US Disaster Response Advance #901670”. Because of our support of the UMC, 100% of your offering will go toward relief.
