The Weekly Shout-out

Ministry Stories from around the Conference

Johnson Memorial UMC in Huntington offers a year-round devotional ministry. Devotionals are written by the congregation (and some great guest writers), and emailed to subscribers daily during Lent and Advent. They are sent weekly the rest of the year. Subscribe (it's free!) by sending an email to JMDevotional@yahoo.com. 

More than 60 teens and adults from First UMC in Sistersville, W. Va. were 'Praising Jesus' through scripture reading, prayer and worship last month. The teens danced to contemporary Christian music and shared their testimonies or played games that revealed issues they were facing in today's society.
