Join us Sunday at Rural Retreat United Methodist Church as we Conclude our Series called The Scandal of Grace. During this Series, we've looked at the Book of Galatians to see what it teaches us about God's Grace and why we struggle with it. This Sunday, we will look at why we become weary in doing good. Join us and invite someone to come with you to experience what God is doing!

Maybe you’ve been thinking about trying church, have questions about church or faith, or are looking for a church. If this is you, we want to personally invite you to come and see what God is doing here. It’s ok to have questions; you don’t have to have everything figured out. Just come, and we will grow and learn together. There is no dress code; just wear what makes you comfortable. We can’t wait to meet you!

Contemporary Worship at 9 AM, Sunday School for ALL ages at 10 AM, and Traditional Worship at 11 AM. Everyone is welcome and wanted! If you’re unable to be with us in person, we have 3 Ways you can watch the 11 AM service online:

This Sunday, we continue exploring the letters of Revelation, and this week we hear two words from Jesus that are just as relevant today as they were 2,000 years ago:

“Wake up!”

Have you ever looked at your life and realized you’ve been going through the motions?

You get up. Go to work. Take care of everybody. Pay the bills. Handle the responsibilities. Get through another week. Repeat.

Everything may look fine from the outside—but inside, something feels like it’s missing.

That’s surprisingly close to what Jesus said to the church in Sardis. They had a reputation for being alive and doing well, but Jesus could see beneath the surface. He challenged them to wake up and strengthen what was still there.

Maybe we need that reminder too.

Are we really living—or have we just gotten really good at getting through the day?

Whether you’ve been in church your entire life, haven’t been in years, or aren’t quite sure what you believe, you are invited!

Worship starts at 10 AM and all are welcome! Davis Memorial UMC, 5904 Lee Hwy in Atkins.
