No matter your spiritual gifting and natural talents, we aim to help support one another and serve together as a fellowship of believers here at Lyman Methodist. Please review our upcoming events and partnerships below. We would love to serve alongside you.
We can partner with missional or outreach efforts in four ways: pray with/for them, give contributions in some way, go visit our mission partner to learn and serve alongside them, and/or receive them here at LMC to strengthen the partnership or mission.
These are all ways to partner, and all are important. However, prayer comes first and sustains our missions. We believe that prayer is the keystone to our missions and outreach ministry. Please continue to pray for the efforts and partnerships listed here as well as the unreached and unchurched people on the horizon.

Last month, we asked you all to complete a Missional Survey so we could find gaps and strengths in our already growing outreach and missional efforts at LMC. We will be sharing these updates at our next Outreach/Missions Committee Meeting.
Thank you so much for completing the survey.

Matthew 9:35-38
And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest."
