A message from our pastor

May 2022

Dear MUMC Family and Friends,
During the Lenten Prayer Gathering of the Holy Week, I invited participants to share their prayer requests. As they shared their prayer concerns, a seven-year- old, Gabby, raised her hand and said, “May I share something that I am happy about?” Absolutely! I felt that God was speaking to all grown-ups in the room through her question because it is so easy for us to fill our prayers with mainly prayers of petitions as we think of things that are lacking in our lives. Her question was a wonderful encouragement to see the wonders of creation, gifts of friends, family, food and faith, and the sacrifice Christ made for us, therefore to give prayers of praise and thanksgiving to our awesome God.
 
It is also easy to fill our prayers with prayers for only our family and friends as we think what they lack in their lives. But the prayer gathering for the people of Ukraine in April gave us a great opportunity to dedicate our time to pray for those we don’t know them personally but need our prayers immensely. Thank you to our confirmands who initiated and led that gathering for the people of Ukraine! Some of MUMC family and friends sent their prayers below to lift up their hearts for them, and I share their prayers as I call upon your continued prayers for the people of Ukraine.
  • God, our help and our hope in every time of life; we bow before you in distress and confusion.
  • Our hearts ache for the loss of innocent lives and horrific devastation in Ukraine
  • Give hope to those who seem to have lost all hope
  • With your healing power, touch any who are injured; to all medical and rescue workers give patient endurance, wisdom, and skill
  • As you give us opportunity to serve those in need, grant also generous spirit and the wise and efficient use of our abilities in offering aid
  • That all hardened hearts break, to reveal softened hearts, guided only by Godly Love
  • For the protection of the innocent in Russia and Ukraine.  
  • For the continued strength and resilience of our brothers and sisters in Ukrainian
  • That all soldiers lay their weapons at their feet in a preference for peace
  • That truth triumphs over lies and Love over fear
  • That evil intentions stumble and fail.
  • For truth, wisdom and insight.
  • For skilled leadership and grace as our world leaders work toward resolution and peace.  
  • For open and welcoming hearts and homes for Ukrainian refugees.  
  • Praying for leaders from all over the world to come together to work towards peace 
  • That there will be peace on Earth and that it will begin with me.
  • That my daily actions, no matter how big or small, are pleasing to God and reflect the Peace that I wish for this world.
  • That people in all corners of the Earth will deeply know, love, and continually choose the Prince of Peace
  • May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
    be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. (Psalm 19:14)
In the risen Christ,
Sue Lee

MUMC COVID-19 PRotocols

​​Posted March 1, 2022
Message from MUMC Parish Nurses:
Preserving health and keeping MUMC members safe has been the center of many conversations since the pandemic emerged in March 2020. Masks, social distancing, and hand hygiene became common place practices. We have been conducting in-person worship and many other activities at MUMC while keeping our members/friends safe. Thanks for supporting the mitigation strategies (masking indoors and social distancing) that have been in place at MUMC. The virus is still present. Positive COVID-19 cases and transmissions continue. On January 3, there were 19 thousand confirmed cases in Wisconsin. On February 20, there were 149 confirmed cases in Wisconsin (data source: CDC confirmed cases). During the intense Omicron surge in December and January, vaccinations and masks were the tools available to minimize​ transmission.
The peak has passed and case numbers are down. We want to respectfully and cautiously move forward. While mandatory mask requirements are ending, what is best for you? Personal health is a gift and a responsibility. You may want to consider the following as you make your decision to wear a mask or not:
  • What are your personal health and risk factors?
  • Are you at increased risk of severe illness?
  • What is the vulnerability of others in your household? Are they immunocompromised?​
  • Are your vaccinations up-to-date?
  • Are household members vaccine eligible and up-to-date?
  • Will you be in close contact with people outside of your household? What is their vulnerability?
  • What is your personal risk tolerance? (Some of us love roller coasters and others do not.)
Effective March 1, 2022, indoors at MUMC: Wearing a mask will be a personal decision. Masking is fully supported and will become your personal choice. Consider your personal health situation as you come for worship, gatherings, or meetings. We will maintain spacing inside the sanctuary for now. In certain situations, such as small spaces, choirs, and other settings, as needed, you may be asked to please wear a mask to protect those around you. We will keep you informed as we continue moving forward.
Respectfully,
Susan Solverson, RN
MUMC Parish Nurse Team
