**IN PERSON WORSHIP SERVICES HAVE RESUMED**
JOIN US SUNDAYS @ 9:30am
WELCOME!
Welcome! I am glad you found Laguna Country United Methodist Church. We are all on a journey and wherever you find yourself on that journey you are welcome. Our mission statement, “Welcoming Everyone, Serving in God’s Love,” reflects this.
Though we live in planned communities and nice neighborhoods, we are often lonely and isolated. We believe that we have a responsibility to provide a community where people can grow in their faith, connect with others, and be in service to the world.
Our staff and church leaders are committed to building a community where everyone feels welcome and we can live out our mission to serve others. We believe community is built through worship, fellowship and small group opportunities, studies that help us grow in faith, or over a cup of coffee during fellowship time. We want to be here for you and share with you how God has touched our lives and can touch yours as well.
I hope that you take the risk and allow us to welcome you, wherever you are on your journey. If there is some way in which I or another member of our staff can be helpful, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Blessings,
Doug Williams
Senior Pastor
SERMON THEMES
September 5 James 2:1-10, 14-17
With clear reference to pronouncements about the rich and the poor from Proverbs, the writer exhorts his readers to perform charitable works as a sign of living faith.
September 12 Mark 8:27-38
Jesus speaks of his coming suffering, death, and resurrection, challenging his disciples to reconfigure what they believe about him.
September 19 Mark 9:30-37
Once again, Jesus teaches his disciples about his coming suffering and death as he continues to teach them about his identity.
September 26 John 6:56-69
Confronted by the harsh power of Jesus’s words, many disciples doubt and turn away from him.
The mission of the United Methodist Church is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.
As United Methodists, we have an obligation to bear a faithful Christian witness to Jesus Christ, the living reality at the center of the Church’s life and witness. To fulfill this obligation, we reflect critically on our biblical and theological inheritance, striving to express faithfully the witness we make in our own time.
