We return to a part of our heritage as Methodists, the Campmeeting. It will be a time to sing the old hymns, enjoy the upbeat worship and hear the Gospel preached that will help those who are lost and wandering in our community.
Sermon on August 18: LOST Son – Luke 15:11-24
This parable is second only to the Good Samaritan in familiarity. It is because at one time or another we have all been there. People get lost as well. Most of the time it is our own choice. What happens when we are lost? How do we get home? Let’s see this Sunday.
“For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.’ And they began to celebrate.” Luke 15:24

Sermon on August 11: LOST Coin – Luke 15:8-10
A lost coin can mean a lot or not anything at all these days. Who stoops down to even retrieve a penny anymore? Yet the coin mentioned here has GREAT worth. What would you do to find it? Let’s see what happens when we lose something because of carelessness.
“And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.’ In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
At 8:15, 9:30 and 11:00AM

Sermon on Sunday, August 4th: LOST Sheep – Luke 15:1-7

The Lord is my Good Shepherd (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
The parable of the Lost Sheep is one of the most famous in stained glass. But the story is about real issues and real difficulties in life. All of us feel LOST at some point. When we simply wander off and get lost it is all the worse.
Let’s see if the lost can be found this Sunday.
“I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. (Luke 15:7)

SUMMER SING ‘N CELEBRATE
AUGUST 4TH AT 7:00 PM
The author, Sarah Young, shares: The author, Sarah Young, shares: The most direct route between point A and point B on your life-journey is the path of unwavering trust in Jesus. If you should wander from your trust-path, just look to Him and whisper, “I trust You.”
This evening, join us as we are reminded how this affirmation will always help us if we need to get back on track.
