We are a small, United Methodist Congregation located just outside Austin Texas. Our congregation is very focused on mission in the community and to our neighbors.
We hold worship services each Sunday at 10:30 am, in our sanctuary. We would love to have you join us in person or online. We livestream on Facebook @ manorumc. We enjoy different styles of music, so on the first and fourth Sunday of the month, our organist, Leland Lundgren, plays and leads the music. On the 2nd & 3rd Sundays of the month, Cade Baccus plays the guitar and leads the service. If you would like to join us in worship on-line we livestream at 10:30 on Sundays, or you can just click on the Join Us In Worship button above and to the left of where you care currently reading. We use a pretty traditional format in worship, but try to be open and easy going at the same time. We come together in joy and hope, and so we are intentional in not taking joy and hope out of our worship services. If you are interested in the scriptures and music for each service, please go to our Worship Page. I wish we were multilingual, but that is a goal for the future, to have someone who is fluent in Spanish and English that would volunteer to translate during the worship service for us. We have people who call and ask for this, but we can't provide it yet. Racially, we are mixed. We currently have a regular attendance of 19. Here's the various average breakdowns of our worship service. Racial: 16 Caucasian, 5 Blacks, 4 Hispanics. Ages: Children 0-6= 4-5 7-12: 2 13-18=1 ; Adults: 20-35=62 36-50=4 51-70=8 71+=9 Family Units: Families with children under 10= 3; Families with children under 18: 2 Families with No Children Living at Home=8 Instead of a nursery, we have a Sacred Space for children and parents. If a child needs to be stimulated in ways that cannot happen in the pew with coloring sheets, there is a room that opens into the sanctuary that is set up for children and parents. Parents can join their children in the Sacred Space and still be a part of the worship service. If you are looking to visit but want to meet someone at the church before attending, Pastor Elizabeth has office hours on Mondays and Tuesdays, from 11-4. You can also text her at 512-563-8840 and she's happy to meet you for a cup of coffee or a cold drink. Or email her at pastormanorumc@gmail.com |
