Spiritual Life Ministry

The Spiritual Life ministry coordinates several aspects of our prayer and spiritual life in the church, plans and organizes spiritual growth events and retreats. The contacts for this ministry are Pat Theobald and Pastor Jeremiah Thompson. Contact them by calling the church office at (217) 586-2147.

         To be put on the prayer list or request a prayer for loved ones, contact the church office by phone at 586-2147, by email at mumc@mumc.org or by filling out a prayer request found on the back of the weekly attendance card found in the Sunday bulletins. To receive the list of prayer requests, email the church at mumc@mumc.org with "Add me to the Prayer List" in the subject area.

Worship Prayer Team
            The Spiritual Life Ministry has committed to be in prayer always for our Pastors, during the services, and specifically for the youth in Confirmation and youth groups.

Spiritual Life maturity
            The team seeks to offer ideas and opportunities to foster growing in understanding and applying to life the principles found in scripture. We have published a Lenten Devotional of witness to Christ in the lives of 40 members of the congregation. We have set up a Labyrinth Prayer Path both indoors and out and acted as prayer partners for adults and teens on mission trips.

Future Plans
            This ministry hopes to include in the near future a Women’s Retreat, a Good Friday prayer vigil, a prayer room open during business hours for anyone to come in, be alone with God and have reading materials on growing spiritually. The team always seeks new ways to serve the spiritual needs of the congregation.
