Rev. Dr. Michelle Morris
Matthew 5:27-32
This sermon will tackle Jesus’ reinterpretation of the Law to better reflect the world God seeks. We will address divorce and adultery in this sermon, but not with an intention of condemnation, as that is not true to Jesus’ message.
FUMC Bentonville's Mission Prayer Group invites you to join us in prayer as we explore the Sermon on the Mount Sermon Series! The Calendar can be found on our website HERE.
DATES AT A GLANCE
Beer & Horns - Sunday, October 18, 5PM

Please sign our new media consent form
Please take a few moments to read our new Media Consent Form at this link, choose your preference, and sign the form so that we can add it to our church files. We will need a form for each adult and for each child, so you may have to fill out multiple forms. Child forms should be completed by their parents or guardians, though there is an optional section for a child to express their wishes for media as well. It will not override their parent/guardian decision, but knowing their choice will help our staff understand their wishes for their image. We appreciate everyone's attention to this matter. If you have any questions, you can contact Pastor Michelle (
).

Are you able to help our schools?
As part of our Wesleyan tradition, we celebrate and support public schools. This is why we partner with three schools (Gateway Virtual Alternative Learning High School, R. E. Baker and the International School of Mary Mae Jones. Each year we ask you, as a congregation, to help us honor these partnerships with your physical presence and/or financial support. Below is a form with a few ways you can help. Will you please prayerfully consider how you may be part of this ministry. Because some of the school personnel has shifted, even if you have helped in the past, please complete the form again. Thank you for your ministry!

Prayer Sunday School - Listening to God
So often Christians have been taught how to pray to God, but how have we been taught to listen to God? How can we hear God speak to us without knowing whether it’s just my own thoughts and inclinations, or even the deceiver? Or do we talk to God in a one sided conversation, to thank or praise or vent or request help, but not to develop a relationship? Jesus calls us friends but how do we dialogue with Jesus as a friend? These questions will be explored with some practical tools to help guide us into listening to God’s voice more attentively. Join us in room 228 at 10 am on Sunday for this latest offering coinciding with the Sermon on the Mount sermon series. Even if you haven't joined the prior classes, you are welcome to join us!
