In-Person Worship
Sunday Morning Sanctuary Worship continues at 9:30 am every Sunday morning.
We are also blessed to now offer seating downstairs in the Sanctuary Fellowship Hall where the worship service can be seen live from the sanctuary via television. Thank you for your ministry in making the sanctuary a healthy, safe and worshipful place to be God's Church together in-person.
Virtual Worship Continues
Still concerned about worshiping in person? Being far away but still wanting to be close to the Mariposa UM Church community? Our Worship through YouTube will go on. The link for the service is sent via email by Saturday. Services are also available on our Messages page.

Communion Offering Report
The January Communion Offering for Manna House raised $30.
A psalm of David.
1 O Lord, I am calling to you. Please hurry! Listen when I cry to you for help!
2 Accept my prayer as incense offered to you, and my upraised hands as an evening offering.
3 Take control of what I say, O Lord,and guard my lips.
4 Don't let me drift toward evil or take part in acts of wickedness. Don't let me share in the delicacies of those who do wrong.
5 Let the godly strike me! It will be a kindness! If they correct me, it is soothing medicine. Don't let me refuse it. But I pray constantly against the wicked and their deeds.
6 When their leaders are thrown down from a cliff, the wicked will listen to my words and find them true.
7 Like rocks brought up by a plow, the bones of the wicked will lie scattered without burial.
8 I look to you for help, O Sovereign Lord. You are my refuge; don't let them kill me.
9 Keep me from the traps they have set for me, from the snares of those who do wrong.
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, but let me escape.
Join us for an exciting journey of learning and growth as we gear up to kick off the Friday afternoon children's program at Mariposa United Methodist Church. Starting right after school on September 6, this engaging program is a wonderful opportunity for children to explore their faith in a nurturing environment.
As we embark on this meaningful endeavor, we're reaching out to our community for support. If you feel called to contribute and be a part of this ministry, we encourage you to connect with Gussie Kidd. Rest assured, no prior experience is required as comprehensive training will be provided to equip you to work effectively with the children.
Let's come together to create a positive impact on the young hearts and minds in our community. Your involvement is not just appreciated - it's transformative.

Mariposa Street is located at the upper edge of 6th Street, a natural turn into this roadway. Besides the growing inventory, Norms has extended the invitation to anyone who would like to get rid of 'stuff' in the yard sale at 5019 Mariposa Street.

Dream Weavers is Restarting! Dream Weavers are crafters who use their gifts with knitting needles and crochet hooks to craft a variety of items, including prayer shawls, chemo caps, scarves and hats for the homeless, and caps for premature babies.
We meet on the fourth Thursday of every month at 9:30 am in the second-floor conference room (Joe Kidd Hall).
All crafters are welcome who want to share their skills and make a difference in people's lives. We also welcome donations of yarn for our members to use. If you have a stash that needs a home, bring it to the church. We especially welcome small amounts that can be used in creative shawls and scarves.
Visit our Dream Weavers web page for information and lots of resources.
