Worship: May 30, 2021 - The Why, The Will and The Way
Worship notes for Sunday May 30 Welcome to worship either online or inperson at 10 am. We will live stream,/record, at 10 am with the service also being posted later on our Facebook group, website and YouTube channel Grace United Methodist Church of Burnsville Let’s consider our “Why, Will and Way" based on the Great Commandment! Please know that we have removed mask and social distance requirements for worship attendance based on CDC guidelines for those who are fully immunized... But COVID is still with us and we are not just back to normal! We ask that you be extra cautious with our younger children and others who are not able to be immunized . Wearing masks is still an encouraged and welcomed option. Social distance seating is still encouraged by households as appropriate for your family. Please continue to make generous use of hand sanitizing. We will not be passing a microphone for prayer time, or passing offering plates in the pews. We still want to be safer for all of us! We are not yet providing childcare or children’s ministry. A variety of activity sheets are available for children’s use, either in the pews or if your family would like some wiggle room during worship, around the tables in the entryway. We will be inviting children up front for a short message and we will be wearing masks for our children’s message together. A coffee, social time will be available after worship. Remember; we have a Church Conference next week, June 6 after worship in order to approve our new pastor's compensation budget. Blessings on your Memorial Day weekend in God’s comfort and promises. We pray for peace and those who work for peace! Here is a link to the bulletin in order to assist in online worship. We are still learning and adapting to our new normal! Thank you for your support and prayers. Pastor Rory Link to Live service at 10 AM: https://youtube.com/channel/UC_cQSFpL5F0j80uSyGT1zUw .

Hello Grace church!
This Sunday worship service celebrates All Saints Day. Who are you remembering?
Be ready to write those names on a piece of paper. You are also invited to participate at home with Holy Communion. Gather some bread and something for your communion cup later in the service.
With the guidance of our bishop in Minnesota, our in person worship services on Sunday have been suspended until further notice due to rising Covid rate concerns. As your pastor I believe this is the most responsible thing for us to do to help curb this trajectory. Help us keep others safe!
Please send in your estimate of giving or pledge if you are intending to complete one. Thanks to all those who have responded!
Don't forget to let us know if you have the skills to help us us with our worship recording and video work.
Grace church is the precinct 12 polling site on Nov 3rd. Due to additional Covid spacing needs the polling will be in our main entry way area. I will close the office that day and be working at home so we can avoid walking through that reserved area. It’s another way for us to serve our neighborhood. Don't forget to vote and to keep our election process in your prayers.
We are still collecting coats for Emma Norton until Nov 8th.
Blessings Pastor Rory |

Worship, August 30. Minnesota UMC Annual Conference
Worship Service: Be the Light, Live Hope
We have guest worship leaders for our worship service this week. Our Grace church on line team is taking the week off.
A clergy covenant group within the Minnesota Conference has created a worship service around our 2020 Annual Conference theme ("Be the Light, Live Hope") that's available for all congregations to use Aug. 30 or after. Please note: As we seek to embrace our richness of diversity, this worship service intentionally reflects diverse voices and music styles. The sermon is a prophetic and challenging word to us as we continue our work toward racial justice. We invite you to open yourselves up to these voices as we consider anew what it means to be salt and light for the world. Thank you to Revs. Shawna Horn, Jay Jeong, LaQuaan Malachi, Nate Melcher, Kate Murphey Payton, Whitney Sheridan, and Mariah Furness Tollgaard for developing this resource.

Grace UMC shares faith stories, connects with community
The Minnesota United Methodist Conference published an article about the Grace UMC Lenten Series, “It seemed like an ordinary day until I had coffee with Jesus at the Café DuMonde.” Each Sunday during Lent a member of the congregation shared during worship a time when they had encountered Christ.
Videos: You can watch two of the encounters with Christ as shared by members of Grace UMC.
Video 1: Finding Christ through relationship with homeless woman
Video 2: Finding Christ in courtroom as man faced deportation
