In God's amazing love, Pastor
"CHRIST IS the truth. He is truth so clear that we can see through to the bottom of the sea. When my eyes are bad, it seems that my eyeglasses are dim. The water is clear, but when my eyes are bad, I cannot see the bottom. I cannot distinguish between water and land. As my eyes get better, I can gradually see. When we brighten our souls in regard to God, it is like that. When we have an experience of God, and live in God, our souls become clear, and then the universe becomes clear. When our hearts become clear, back of all things we find there is the plan of God." --Toyohiko Kagawa |  Moose Lake UMC 301 Third Street P O Box 467 Moose Lake, Minnesota 55767 Telephone: 218 485 4605  Sunday • Adult Sunday School - 9:00 AM to 9:50 AM • Children's Sunday School - 9:00 AM to 9:50 AM • Choir Rehearsal - 10:00 AM to 10:20 AM • Service of Worship - 10:30 AM to 11:40 AM • Eucharist/Holy Communion, first Sunday monthly - 10:30 AM to 11:40 AM • Fellowship Luncheon, second Sunday monthly - 11:45 AM to 12:30 AM Thursday • Choir practice - 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM  • • • • • •  Congregation Fellowship Meal On the second Sunday of each month, we have a fellowship meal after worship, celebrating the month's church member birthdays.
