This episode of the Examen uses a clip from our Ash Wednesday Service. The excerpt from our worship on March 19th will hit the Yadkin Examen feed on Monday, March 27th and the excerpt from March 26th worship will show up in June 2023 while Jonathan is on vacation. You are always invited to join us on YouTube for worship every Sunday at 10am, just search Yadkinville UMC on YouTube.

Welcome to the Yadkin Examen. The Examen is a weekly prayer podcast. Every Monday we take a moment to reflect on our week past, give thanks to God, and seek strength for the day and week to come. We use reflection questions from different sources to help us seriously pray and review our own spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical lives. Each episode begins with an excerpt from Sunday's sermon and ends with the scripture text. On Ash Wednesday 2023 our preacher was the Rev. Jonathan Gaylord and he preached from the 2 Corinthians. 

In March we are doing an Online Fund Drive to support our Online Ministries, like the Yadkin Examen and Yadkin Lectio. Any gift you give helps to show the impact that digital ministry is making on our community and world and helps us to continue  and expand our online offerings.

Reflection Questions selected from John Wesley and the Holy Club

Am I consciously or unconsciously creating the impression that I am better than I really am? In other words, am I a hypocrite?

Am I honest in all my acts and words, or do I exaggerate?

Do I  pass on to another what was told to me in confidence?
