This Week at SMUMC

We begin a new series on what it means to have a deep joy and to celebrate within the faith, "Live It Up!" This kind of joy recognizes the tough parts of life and is a deeply rooted joy. This week we will hear the story of David and his undignified dance, 2 Samuel 6: 12-15. Join us in worship!
