Yeakley United Methodist Church

Pastor Susan Schmalzbauer will be commissioned as a provisional deacon at the Missouri Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church in St. Charles. This is a step on the journey to ordination.

In the United Methodist Church, "Deacons are clergy leaders who are called by God, authorized by the church and ordained by a bishop to a lifetime ministry of Word, Service, Compassion and Justice. Deacons exemplify Christian discipleship by being a bridge between the church and society. In the congregation, Deacons teach, preach, officiate ceremonies, offer pastoral care, and assist the elder in administering the sacraments. Outside the walls of the church, Deacons share the good news in word and in their advocacy for the poor, neglected and discouraged."

Join us for Trinity Sunday at 11:30 am! We will explore Paul's words in 2 Corinthians, the Great Commission in Matthew and Andrei Rublev's famous "Old Testament Trinity" icon.
