Come Worship With Us!
Sunday - 10:00 a.m.
At Millwood, we have a blended worship style. The music portion includes piano, organ, guitars and drums, featuring modern worship songs as well as traditional hymns. In this manner, we honor the great hymns of the past as well as look to our future.
Kids up through grade 12 are encouraged to participate during the first part of the service and then they are dismissed for an age-appropriate lesson. Kids are also welcome to stay in worship. During COVID, grades six through 12 are meeting after the church service in the Chapel.
We share together in the Lord's Prayer every week and Communion on the first Sunday of each month.
Come and visit!
All-Church Advent Party
December 1st
11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Come and celebrate this special season with your church family! Sunday December 1st, at 11:30 a.m., meet us in the Fellowship Hall to have a Shepherd’s Meal of soups, bread, and simple accompaniments. After our meal, we will decorate the church for the Advent and Christmas season, snack, and make crafts.
We’ll hang the greens, put up the trees, and stage the Advent wreath. All to prepare the church for Christmas!
We Need You!
We need soup makers and bread/cookie bakers (or buyers!) to bring a warm pot or rack of deliciousness! We could also use help with butter, fruit and veggie trays, cookies, and all of those yummy things we like to eat for lunch! And… we won’t forget the coffee and punch!
We could use craft table helpers, hot chocolate baristas, Christmas decorators, and a few “ladder capable” people.
Could you help at one of the craft tables, decorate the church for Christmas, serve soup, help set up or assist with clean up? Click Here To Volunteer.
Reformation Sunday
October 27, 2024
Did You Know?
In Western Europe, the authority of the Roman Catholic Church remained largely unquestioned until the Renaissance in the 1400s. The invention of the printing press around 1450, made it possible for common people to have access to printed material including the Bible. It also enabled many to discover religious thinkers who had begun to question the authority of the Roman Catholic Church.
The Reformation is a term used to describe a series of changes in Christianity over time but focused mostly on the sixteenth century (1500s).
When Martin Luther protested against the corruption of Rome and the great abuses with the selling of indulgences, he was not the first to do so.
Luther, however, a German priest and professor, is credited with starting the movement known as the Protestant Reformation. In 1517 he posted his ninety-five theses (or propositions) against the Roman Catholic practice of selling indulgences. He nailed the theses to the door of the church at Wittenberg, Germany. Thus began a force that changed the world.
Twenty years later, a French-Swiss theologian, John Calvin, further refined the new way of thinking about the nature of God and God’s relationship to humanity. This became known as Reformed Theology. This theology was the driving force of the Reformation, particularly in western Germany, France, the Netherlands, England, and Scotland.
Reformed churches are those that are influenced by the theology of Calvin, John Knox, Ulrich Zwingli, and others. They were already known as “protestant churches” by the end of the 16th century.
John Knox, a Scotsman who studied with Calvin in Geneva, Switzerland, took Calvin’s teachings back to Scotland. The Presbyterian Church traces its ancestry primarily to Knox in Scotland and England. Happy Reformation!
