Welcome to the Bull Shoals United Methodist Church website. 

Good morning message from Pastor Pete

Acts 10:27-28 (NIV)   

Talking with him, Peter went inside and found a large gathering of people.  He said to them, "You are well aware that it is against our law for a Jew to associate with a Gentile or visit him.  But God has shown me that I should not call any man impure or unclean."

In Peter's time, he had been taught that there were only two kinds of people, Jew and Gentile.  God corrected Peter, making it clear to Peter then and to us today, that we are all His creation and that He loves all people.  As his followers, we are to love everyone too.  That's a challenge!  Let's remember, we can ask for His help.

Hello, hello, hello! Pastor Pete here to welcome you to our website.

We have just reopened for Sunday morning services. We are taking every precaution to make the service a healthy worship experience. Masks are required and social distancing is practiced. Hand sanitizer is available as members come into the church and ushers seat participants from the front to the back as they enter the sanctuary and dismiss from the back to the front as they leave the sanctuary. This keeps contact with others to a minimum. In accordance with the Bishop’s directive the morning service is kept to approximately 30 minutes.

There are still many congregation members who do not feel comfortable returning to group worship at this time. To accommodate everyone, we are continuing to film the morning message and post it on the church web site for viewing in the safety of your home. Because the filming is done during the actual service, it will not be available until Sunday afternoon. In addition, each day a short scriptural devotional, Good Morning from Pastor Pete, will also be posted on the web site.

We hope this challenging time will pass quickly and we will soon be back to our regular service with a full congregation safely in attendance.

Until then, we invite you to join us with masks and social distancing on Sunday morning at 9:00 or tune in to our web site for the video of the Sunday morning message along with special music.

Sharing the presence of Christ with fellow believers is always a special blessing since, as Pierre Teilhard de Chardin noted:

     We are not human beings having a spiritual experience.

     We are spiritual beings having a human experience.

Come grow with us. God bless you.
