Mission Moments and More are devotions that demonstrate the connectional mission of the United Methodist Church. In each devotion, discover specific United Methodist mission and ministry and how they bring tangible change to the world. You'll find a guiding scripture, a newsletter snippet, a message tailored for children and an offering prayer to share our mission's impact. Consider using these in personal prayer time, in small groups or during worship.
