Next Sunday’s Sermon (06/21/26):
A Great Dad
Since next Sunday is Father’s Day, we will pause our study in Acts for this message from Psalm 103, which highlights the qualities of compassion, presence, and faithfulness. Discover how ordinary dads can have an extraordinary impact by reflecting the love and grace of our Heavenly Father. Psalm 103:1-18; Ephesians 6:4

For clearer communication, please use the provided Prayer Request Cards found in your pew’s hymnal rack.
This will help Pastor Thom with spelling names and clarity of details. It will also help save time, as we won’t need to repeat everything for the congregation and those listening online. Prayer Requests can also be sent to our e-mail – SouthVernonUMC@gmail.com
