2024 Acts of the Called image

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: We believe that our community, now more than ever, needs the church of Jesus Christ.
 
It’s during challenging times that we have the opportunity to walk by faith. Pray for Gods peace, comfort and protection.

On Friday September 20, 2024, eleven members of our church departed the Plano Methodist Church parking at 7:00 a.m. and headed to The Dream Center in Peoria IL. If you are reading this online, click the link, Dream Center Peoria | Home, to learn more about this Christ-centered ministry or search for “Dream Center Peoria IL.” This mission trip was a little different than some of us were accustomed to. For example, the Dream Center is only 2 hours and 108 miles away, rather than four states away or outside the USA. Our actual work time was around 22-23 hours, not days or weeks. In that short time, Jesus reminded me (again) that a short distance and shorter time do NOT diminish HIS impact! We played a small part in Jesus’ grand plan to love and care for children, women, and men in Peoria, but the impact was great, because we serve an extraordinary LORD.
 
You may be wondering where I am going with this. Here’s the point: many times, God will meet us right where we live. Yes, He often uses mission trips to ignite a fresh fire in us, then He uses that fire to motivate us to be on mission in our home community. We do not need to have a gigantic ministry to make a powerful impact in someone’s life. You have that opportunity right in front of you.
 
Jesus has made going on a mission trip as close and as easy as it could possibly be, He is bringing the mission field into our (His) Church on October 10, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. This is the Grand Opening for the new Meals on Wheels location at our church. We will begin with serving sit-down lunches in the dining room on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. September 18, they began meal distributions from our church. We can’t let Meals on Wheels staff and volunteers be the face of Plano Methodist Church. Our church family has a unique opportunity to be Jesus to our community! You can serve once a week, once a month, once a quarter, or three days a week. Serving times are 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. This is a wonderful entry-level way to try mission work.
 
At this moment, out of approximately 200 people on our membership rolls and 35 to 55 in attendance on Sunday mornings, we have 6 volunteers, that includes Hayden and me. We often hear the phrase around here “being the hands and feet of Jesus”, but how many times are we truly living that statement? I encourage you, if you have the availability, to test the missionary waters and join us in truly being the hands and feet of our Savior.

ABOUT US

First and foremost, WELCOME! We are so glad you found us. The Plano Methodist Church has been serving the community since 1856. At the Plano Methodist Church, we know that it is important for us not only to experience God’s Love, but also to give it. Whether or not you’ve ever been to church before, we’d love to welcome you into a church family where you’ll be loved and accepted.

When are the Worship Services?
The Plano Methodist Church offers a casual traditional service that begins at 10:00 am every Sunday morning held in our beautiful sanctuary.
 
Do you have childcare available? What about my children?
Nursery care is available for ages 4 and under located just off of our sanctuary in our Education Building. Sunday School is also offered for K-7th grade from 9:00 am to 9:45 am prior to worship service. Children are always welcome to sit with you in worship as well.

What do Plano Methodists believe?
We believe through Jesus God has made a way for sinful humankind to be reconciled with Him. We believe Jesus by His death, burial and resurrection is the Savior and through we are offered eternal life, Jesus is the only hope for eternal life. We believe in the authority of the holy Scriptures, found in the Old and New Testaments.
 
What is expected of members?
We expect members of Plano Methodist Church to be faithful in prayers, presence, gifts, service and witness. We also encourage all members to worship regularly, grow in their faith by participating in a small group or class, to serve God with their hands by serving both in the church and in the world, and to give in proportion to their income.
