Jesus is Alive and so is Lee United Methodist Church
Lee UMC is a church that
reaches out to the community.
You may think
that every church makes that claim but all you need to do is drive by one
Wednesday after school to know our claim is true. It is an amazing
sight to see buses pulling into the parking lot dropping off 40-60
kids for our WOW program. Some of the kids are from our church but
many are from other churches and some are not churched at all.

It is not
unusual to see Lee UMC's adults out visiting homes in the community.
Their visits are warm and friendly welcoming newcomers to the area,
extending a hand to those in need and offering prayers and compassion to
others. The effort is put forth to touch the community regardless of
denomination or faith. While an invitation is always extended, it is
to Christ we hope to draw people, not to Lee UMC.
We have been
known to leave the air conditioned comfort at Sunday evening vespers to
prayer walk the community. Prayer walking is just that. We walk
from house to house praying over the property and the people who dwell
there. It differs from home missions in that we are not seeking to
talk to the people but to pray for them. We ask God's blessing on
those living at each property and for His peace and comfort. We don't
knock on the door nor ring the door bell, we simply leave a note saying we
prayed for you today. Is it a comfort for a divorced mother, an
elderly widow or a young couple to find a card saying we prayed for your
today? We pray it is.
We share our
faith and prayers with others by e-mail. We have a daily e-mail that
includes a Bible verse, a prayer for pastors and also prayer concerns.
