Rev. Todd Dowdy

YOU are Welcome here

A personal invite

Have you or someone you know experienced disillusionment with religion due to negative encounters with people within it? Perhaps you have felt overwhelmed by the constant pursuit of earning God's approval. It is important to recognize that this was never the intended path for our lives.


Magnolia UMC's message is clear -


You are welcome here.

No matter where you have been.

No matter what you have done

or left undone.

You are welcome in love and grace.

May you find rest and renewal.

May you find hope, love and peace.

This is what god offers to us all.


STOP BY AND SAY HELLO

We're thrilled you've decided to stop by and pay us a visit. Here are some helpful information to make your visit as seamless and motivating as possible.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

YOU ARE WELCOME HERE!

  • When are your services?

    We have Sunday Worship in the Sanctuary at 9:30 AM.  After worship we invite you for fellowship, snacks and coffee in Fellowship Hall.  If you would like to attend Sunday School, it starts at 11am in Fellowship Hall.

  • What should I wear?

    We are at the beach!  Comfortable, casual clothes are the normal here.  You may see some in suits and you may see some in shorts.  

  • Is there childcare?

    We have Nursery for babies thru 3 years old.  For children older than 3, we will invite them up to the front during our children's moment.

  • Where do I park?

    You can park anywhere in the church parking lot.  The doors on the southwest side of the church will take you straight into the Narthex (lobby of the Sanctuary.)  We have signs up guiding you to the Sanctuary.

  • How else can I connect?

    We have small group studies on Wednesdays at 10 am & Thursdays at 10am.  You may like to visit one or both!  We also have monthly men's breakfasts and monthly women's luncheons which are a great way to meet our members.  Sign up for our newsletters, find us on Facebook and Instagram.

Sunflowers and decor welcome visitors. Three arched window frames, mirror, and sign adorn a teal wall.
