We’re So Glad You’re Here!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visiting a new church can feel a little overwhelming. Maybe it’s your first time attending church, or perhaps it’s been a while since you’ve walked through the doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever brings you here, we want you to know one thing: There’s a place for you at Magnolia Methodist Church!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope you’ll feel right at home from the moment you arrive.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

What Happens When I Arrive?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We want your first visit to be easy and comfortable!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magnolia Methodist Church is located on one level, with accessible entrances, convenient parking, and restrooms nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you walk through our doors, friendly greeters will welcome you, provide a worship bulletin, and help you find your way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No need to worry about where to go or what to do. We’re happy to help!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Sunday Worship \u2014 9:00 AM<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our Sunday worship service is a welcoming blend of traditional hymns, contemporary Christian music, Scripture readings, and Bible-based messages from Pastor Matt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Chancel Choir also shares special music throughout much of the year.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

What Should I Wear?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Come as you are! Whether you’re most comfortable in jeans, casual clothes, or your Sunday best, you’ll fit right in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Magnolia Methodist Church, it’s not about what you wear. We’re simply glad you’re here!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

What About My Children?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We love having children in worship at Magnolia Methodist Church!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During our Sunday service, Pastor Matt invites children to join him up front for a special Children’s Moment. It’s a short, meaningful message just for them (although the adults often enjoy it just as much!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afterward, children are welcome to attend Junior Church with their teachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your child would rather stay with you during worship, that’s perfectly fine, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also have Red Busy Bags filled with crayons and activities to help keep little hands occupied during the service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the school year, we offer Sunday School opportunities following worship.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Your Children’s Safety Matters to Us<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Magnolia Methodist Church follows a Safe Sanctuary policy, and volunteers working with children and youth complete background checks. We want every child to feel safe, loved, and welcome!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Everyone Is Welcome at Communion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the first Sunday of each month, we celebrate Holy Communion together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Magnolia Methodist Church, we believe everyone is welcome at the Lord’s Table, whether you’re a longtime member or visiting for the very first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pastor Matt and our ushers will help guide you through Communion. If you prefer to receive Communion in your pew, simply let an usher know. We’ll gladly bring Communion to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gluten-free Communion elements are also available. Just let an usher know so we can accommodate your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s a place for everyone at His table.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay a While \u2014 We’d Love to Get to Know You!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Sunday worship, we invite you to join us in the fellowship hall for a little food, fellowship, and friendly conversation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy a cup of coffee, juice, water, and a few sweet treats while getting to know our church family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s no pressure and no expectations. Just a chance to relax, visit, and make a few new friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’d love for you to stay and feel right at home!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visiting During the Summer Months?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the summer months, our Sunday School classes take a break, but our Sunday morning worship and fellowship continue as usual!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter what time of year you visit, you’ll always find a warm welcome waiting for you at Magnolia Methodist Church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s a Place for You Here!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the wonderful things about Magnolia Methodist Church is that we’re more than just a church that gathers on Sunday mornings. We’re a church family that loves serving God and our community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might recognize a neighbor, teacher, friend, or someone you’ve seen around town!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you’re searching for a church home, exploring your faith, or simply looking for a place to belong, we’d love to meet you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don’t have to have everything figured out before walking through our doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Come as you are. Bring your family. Bring your questions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magnolia Methodist Church \u2014 Welcome Home!<\/strong> Come as you are. Bring your family. Bring your questions.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
