Para empezar, me enviaron a la Iglesia Metodista Unida cuando era peque\u00f1a; la iglesia contaba con una gran asistencia de j\u00f3venes. Mi madre y mi abuela pensaron que ser\u00eda bueno para mis hermanos y para m\u00ed estar en compa\u00f1\u00eda de otros j\u00f3venes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">M\u00e1s tarde me hice miembro porque me gustaba el orden del servicio. Cada parte del servicio tiene un significado especial para m\u00ed y me encanta la forma en que los feligreses desempe\u00f1an un papel activo en el servicio. En nuestro servicio, los ni\u00f1os act\u00faan como ac\u00f3litos y llevan la luz de Cristo al culto. La llamada a la adoraci\u00f3n y el canto inicial son formas de hacer saber a Dios que estamos en su presencia y que somos libres para adorarle con alegr\u00eda, amor y acci\u00f3n de gracias. Durante la invocaci\u00f3n, el Esp\u00edritu Santo es invitado a nuestra adoraci\u00f3n. Escuchamos la palabra de Dios a trav\u00e9s de la lectura de las Escrituras. El Credo de los Ap\u00f3stoles nos recuerda que Dios es nuestro Padre celestial, que Jes\u00fas es su hijo, que el Esp\u00edritu Santo es enviado por \u00c9l y que formamos parte de su familia. El canto del Gloria Patri es una confirmaci\u00f3n m\u00e1s de que adoramos a Dios Padre, a Jes\u00fas su Hijo y al Esp\u00edritu Santo -Dios en tres Personas- mientras ofrecemos nuestras oraciones. El canto de preparaci\u00f3n prepara nuestras mentes y corazones para recibir la Palabra de Dios predicada en el mensaje que Dios ha dado al pastor. Celebramos la Santa Comuni\u00f3n una vez al mes. Como todos est\u00e1n invitados a participar en la Cena del Se\u00f1or, no hay discriminaci\u00f3n ni prejuicios; todos son bienvenidos; y esto me encanta especialmente. Al final del culto, se invita al discipulado cristiano cantando el Canto de Invitaci\u00f3n. El culto concluye con el regreso de los ac\u00f3litos para llevar la llama de Cristo de vuelta al mundo, donde debemos servir a nuestro pr\u00f3jimo. Con la bendici\u00f3n y la bendici\u00f3n, nos despedimos del culto y pedimos a Dios que nos acompa\u00f1e en nuestras vidas en paz, amor y comuni\u00f3n con los dem\u00e1s.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Estas son las cosas que me mantienen en la Iglesia Metodista Unida, pero entiendo que este es s\u00f3lo un nombre al que llamo hogar aqu\u00ed en la tierra. Sin embargo, tambi\u00e9n es un lugar que invita y acoge en la familia de Dios a personas de toda condici\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Janice L.
