Spirituality is not one-size-fits-all. God creates each of us not


just to worship, but to do so in ways that align with who God
created us to be. This exploration and prayerful discovery of
your souls path to God will be marked with growth and filled
with the riches of a close walk with God. The pathways we
explore weekly are pieces that can be arranged in an infinite
number of combinations in order for you to start walking in
faith or continue as a follower of Jesus to draw closer to him.
Lets go on an adventure. Hold on!

Angel Tree Thank You

Christmas 2015 marked the 29th year MUMC helped with


the Prison Fellowship Angel Tree ministry for children with
a parent in prison. This year, we are again overwhelmed
at the generosity of this church family. We would like to
express our heartfelt thanks to all of you who purchased
and wrapped gifts with loving care; and, also to those
who made monetary donations so we could go shopping.
Special thanks to those that offered to help deliver gifts,
but the weather cooperated this year and everything fell
into place for us to get the gifts delivered. A total of 53
children received two gifts each (33 households). Thank
you for helping MUMC participate in this wonderful Prison
Fellowship Ministry. Please remember these angels and their
families in your prayers. Thank you! Greg & Dora Thackery

Applications should address the religious, charitable and

SATURDAY: Luke 24:36-49 Look at me


Jesus appears after the resurrection and invites the disciples to look at him
his hands, his feet. How do you touch Jesus?

FRIDAY: James 1:19-26 Hear the word


This lyric might speak to a sensate: Speak, you have my attention, Lord.
(Listen to the song Attention by Know Hope Collective)

THURSDAY: Matthew 14:34-36 All touch his fringes


People begged to touch the fringes on Jesus cloak. His message preceded him,
and upon meeting him they desired to touch his clothes. And they were healed.
Read this scripture again with a piece of cloth in your hands.

Desire for the awe, beauty, and splendor of God; use the five senses to
worship with their hearts.

Sensates: Loving God With the Senses

WEDNESDAY: Matthew 6:27-33 Lily Lesson: Seek God


Look for heaven on earth in nature.

TUESDAY: Matthew 6:27-33 Lily Lesson: In the now


When in nature, you have permission to be fully present. Nature can center us
in the now instead of the past or future.

MONDAY: Matthew 6:27-33 Lily Lesson: Being, not doing


Just be like a lily. No toiling, spinning, worrying. Scripture reminds us that
God cares for all of us, including the lilies.

A naturalist sees nature as a cathedral; a place God has built.

__ Total (Any score over 15 indicates a preference for this spiritual temperament.)

_______6. I would really enjoy using drawing exercises or art to improve my


prayer life.

_______5. A book called The Beauty of Worship would be appealing to me.

_______4. The words sensuous, colorful, and aromatic are very appealing to
me.

_______3. Id have a difficult time worshipping in a church building that is plain


and lacks a sense of awe or majesty. Beauty is very important to me, and I have
a difficult time worshipping through second-rate Christian art or music.

_______2. I enjoy attending a high church service with incense and formal
Communion or Eucharist.

_______1. I feel closest to God when Im in a church that allows my senses to


come alive when I can see, smell, hear, and almost taste His majesty.

Take the brief assessment below to see how much of a sensate you are.

Sensates

__ Total (Any score over 15 indicates a preference for this spiritual temperament.)

_______6. Seeing Gods beauty in nature is more moving to me than


understanding new concepts, participating in a formal religious service, or
participating in social causes.

_______5. A book called Natures Sanctuaries: A Picturebook would be


appealing to me.

_______4. If I could escape to a garden to pray on a cold day, walk through a


meadow on a warm day, and take a trip by myself to the mountains on another
day, I would be very happy.

_______3. I would prefer to worship God by spending an hour beside a small


brook than by participating in a group service.

_______2. I feel cut off if I have to spend too much time indoors, just listening
to speakers or singing songs. Nothing makes me feel closer to God than being
outside.

_______1. I feel closest to God when Im surrounded by what He has made


the mountains, the forests, or the sea.
