When someone joins McPherson First United Methodist Church, they make five promises. To support the church with their prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness. These are not boxes to check or duties to perform. They are practices. The shape of a life that is becoming what God dreams for it.

Across five Sundays this fall, we are going to trace those promises through Genesis and Exodus. Noah, Abraham, Joseph, Moses. Stories that are older than us by thousands of years and still know us better than we know ourselves. Five Promises runs September 13 through October 11.

Weekly Schedule:

  • September 13: Show Up (Genesis 6:13-22; 9:12-17), the promise of Presence through Noah and the rainbow.
  • September 20: Live It Out Loud (Genesis 12:1-9), the promise of Witness through the call of Abraham.
  • September 27: Stay Connected (Genesis 39:1-6a, 19-23), the promise of Prayers through Joseph in prison.
  • October 4: Give Yourself to It (Exodus 14:5-7, 10-14, 21-29), the promise of Service through the rescue at the sea.
  • October 11: Give First (Exodus 19:3-6; 20:1-11), the promise of Gifts through the Sinai covenant.

Worship happens at 8:30 AM and 10:15 AM every Sunday. Can’t join in person? Watch online at youtube.com/@mcphersonfirst.
