Mt. Lebanon United Methodist Church (MLUMC)
is a growing and
evolving congregation of more than 1500
members. Founded in 1911, MLUMC is steeped in the rich heritage
of Methodism while providing innovative, meaningful and
appealing new approaches to worship and the study of Christian
life. We offer three worship services, including two
traditional services, at 8:30 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. Sunday and a more informal
service at 6 p.m. Saturday..
Summer worship
From late June through early September, the Saturday service takes place in Wesley Hal, on the bottom floor of the MLUMC education wing. Our 8:30 Sunday service remains in Sanner Chapel, adjacent to our sanctuary, throughout the summer, but our 10:45 Sunday service is held in Asbury Center, on the ground floor of the church. Faith for Today, our summer speakers series for adults, runs at 9:30 a.m. Sundays through September 6 in Asbury Center. Click the link at the top left of any page for a list of speakers.
On June 22, Rev. Oden & Debbie Warman, and 15 MLUMC members left for a mission visit to our partner church in Zwickau, Germany. Click the Zwickau Trip Blog link on theMLUMC home page to see pictures and read some of their impressions.

Zimbabwe mission trip applications are now available through Rev. Kimberly Greway, in the MLUMC front office or as a PDF at The Nyadire Connection website. Four trips are planned for 2009: March, June, August, and October. People of all ages and abilities are welcome.
During the mission trip, we will stay overnight in Harare, visit the Conference Center and meet some Conference staff. When we travel to Nyadire we will assist with several projects (construction, hospital, relationship building, observation, children and youth, orphans, etc.) There is an optional excursion for some sightseeing and safaris after each trip. Training for the trips will begin in January.
Applications are rolling and teams are limited to eight participants. Visit our website for more information: www.nyadire.org. Find us on Facebook.com: search for Nyadire. Join us on Squidoo at www.squidoo.com/nyadire

If you love to sew and want to use your talenst to help others, here's a great opportunity! Hands and Hearts in Mission makes items to donate to a variety of projects. We make quilts, blankets, school bags, wheelchair bags, dolls, kids’ clothes, cloth diapers, and other items for the needy.
We meet each first and fourth Thursday from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. in Epworth Chapel … but wait! You don’t even have to come to the meetings! You can make things and turn them in without ever attending a meeting … though we ARE a lot of fun!
We make items for UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief) , Asbury Heights, Nyadire, the Zimbabwe Hospital, the Home of Hope Orphanage, and several other organizations. Items are tagged with the maker’s name, the place they want it to go, and the church address.
We learn from each other, share patterns, discover new tools, meet new friends and generally have a great time as we do God’s work. Come and let you hands and hearts bless others!
