      <image:caption>Present Over Perfect: Leaving Behind Frantic for a Simpler, More Soulful Way of Living By Shauna Niequist  We long for connection, meaning, depth, but settle for busy. Present Over Perfect is an invitation to a way to live, marked by grace, love, rest, and play: a journey that will change your life. Focus on the most important transformation: leave behind busyness and frantic living and rediscover the person you were made to be. Present Over Perfect is a hand reaching out, pulling you free from the constant pressure to perform faster, push harder, and produce more, all while maintaining an exhausting image of perfection. A compelling vision for an entirely new way to live: soaked in grace, rest, silence, simplicity, prayer, and connection with the people that matter most to you. You will be invited to consider the landscape of your own life, and what it might look like to leave behind the pressure to be perfect and begin the life-changing practice of simply being present, in the middle of the mess and the ordinariness of life. Tuesdays:  March 10   Pain Points March 17   The Roles We Play March 24   Yes, and No March 31   Unflashy, Unspectacular, Good April 7         Living the Love Fireside Room - 6:30 – 8pm Please contact: Robin Martin by email robindmartin1952@yahoo.com or text to 713 498 7803.

      <image:title>New Here? - I Don’t Have My ST*FF Together. Can i still come?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Everyone from all walks of life is welcome here, regardless of where you are in your spiritual journey, regardless of what you believe. When you come on Saturday nights, you’ll see business executives and folk between jobs, a young professional and a young adult in treatment. We’re cool if you’ve been in the back of a cop car or you drive a cop car. Whether you’re part of a family, struggling to raise teenagers or just out of a tough relationship—we’ve got a seat for you. We believe a different kind of community forms when we set aside what can easily separate us, things like being Republican, Democrat, a Texan or die-hard Cowboy fan, two days sober or never touched a drink, documented or undocumented, introverted or never met a stranger, worn out or energized. We are a part of the United Methodist tradition which means we believe the grace of God is available to all, offers forgiveness and calls us to a life of justice and mercy.</image:caption>

      <image:title>New Here? - What’s The Worship Service Like?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Saturday night at Mercy Street is filled with live music, authentic faith journeys and practical sermons set in a casual, come as you are environment. We extend the gift of Christian community to everyone, no matter your back ground with church. We are a safe harbor of hope and transformation! More specifically: We start the service right at 5:30PM so come a little early to hang out, enjoy homemade cookies and coffee, and grab a seat before 5:30PM. We’re paper free, so there's no bulletin. Here’s what you can expect: homemade cookies and coffee, sing a few songs, prayer and open-mic celebrations for what God is doing in our city. Then we read from the Bible, usually some fascinating story of the unholy, uncertain yet hope-filled people guided by a God known for radical grace and love. Our pastor gives a 25 minute sermon. The first Saturday of the month we celebrate Holy Communion—all are welcome to the table for bread and juice. We also gather in the coffee shop right after church for “coffee and conversation.” The first Saturday of the month we go to dinner at Mia’s Table (on Gessner) after the service. We celebrate baptism on the third Saturday of every month.</image:caption>

      <image:title>New Here? - What About My Kids?</image:title>
      <image:caption>We love kids and have a special program designed just for them. When you arrive, come by our MS Kidz Table to meet the volunteers. Children Pre-K - 5th grade stay with their parents during the music at the beginning of the service and then are released to the kids program where they explore the Bible with kid-friendly lessons. Nursery care is offered starting at 5pm for children ages 3 months to 4 years. Our leaders love kids and we value the privilege of teaching and encouraging them. We also have a strong youth program. Teenagers worship with their parents in the main service and then head to the game room after announcements for a lesson in faith and the Bible followed by socializing and playing games and dinner. Mercy Street Students is a great place for students to make lifelong friends and start to learn more about their own faith.</image:caption>

      <image:title>New Here? - Where Is It?</image:title>
      <image:caption>NOTE: It’s a fancy zip code with a laid-back atmosphere. We’re located in the Fellowship Hall of Chapelwood United Methodist Church at 11140 Greenbay, Houston, TX 77024. If you arrive off Greenbay, just drive to the back church parking lot and you’ll see the Mercy Street banner over the middle entrance (Entrance #7 / Parking Lot B). Once inside the church look for signs for the Fellowship Hall. If you take the bus, catch #70 from the Northwest Transit Center to Memorial &amp; Greenbay. It’s a 7 minute walk from there.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Who We Are - Our mission…</image:title>
      <image:caption>Our mission is "Mercy Street creates a safe harbor of hope and transformation, so all may experience the radical grace of God!" Our community includes people diverse in our experiences and backgrounds but common in our desire to seek a connection to God. Whether you have faith, struggle with your faith or have lost your faith, Mercy Street opens its doors to people who desire a place to develop their spiritual journey in community, not in isolation. A lot of us are involved in recovery either from bad church experiences or addictions of “more.” We believe Jesus is the Son of God and restorer of all our hurts, pain and brokenness. Yet sometimes the followers of Jesus become the barrier to the person Jesus. So if we could tell you one important thing about our community; it is that we are all works in progress. We desire to be on a common path towards loving God and one another with our whole heart. In short, this is a messy community where we will sometimes disappoint one another. The hope is that we don’t run from community, instead we lean-in and trust that giving ourselves towards love in Christ really can make a difference in our lives and our relationships. Wherever you are spiritually, we will support and love you in your journey. At Mercy Street words such as transformed, revived, restored and connected have deep roots and can be seen in the lives of real people. Some people have said when you come to a small group or the Saturday night worship, chances are you are talking to a miracle—a life restored from brokenness and moving towards greater transformation.</image:caption>

Crafts, games, interactive songs, and skits mixed up with a little imagination and a lot of fun are also on the agenda.

      <image:caption>Mercy Street Students meet on Saturday Night. It is a place where students can come to dive deeper into learning about who they are and WHOSE they are. We go to service at 5:30 as a group together then after celebrations we go to the game room to enjoy some time to play games and socialize. After that we enjoy dinner together and talk deeper about the Bible and our lives. Mercy Street Students is a great place for students to make lifelong friends and start to learn more about their own faith. CLICK HERE TO EMAIL OUR YOUTH DIRECTOR ANDRES</image:caption>
