Pain and problems are opportunities to demonstrate our trust in God and also our trust in the fervent prayers of healing prayed on our behalf by our pastors and fellow members of the laity.
We hope you will reserve this evening for hearing personal stories of healing from members of your body of Christ.
Pastor Kenny’s Time For Healing will conclude this service.

CELEBRATION OF CHILDREN
SING ‘N CELEBRATE SERVICE
THIS COMING SUNDAY, OCT. 6 AT 6:30 PM
We hope you are planning to join us for this special time of casual worship when children will show us how they are learning to believe the things that Jesus taught and to do the things that Jesus did.
In keeping with this theme, our children will be filling a bin with unwrapped, NEW toys and books for less fortunate children.
Our collection of toys and books will continue until the time when all that we have collected needs to go to the Marines for their Toys For Tots distribution before Christmas.

Sing ‘n Celebrate Celebration of Children at October 6 at 6:30 (Note time change)
We read in Matthew 7:12 – “Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you”, which is commonly known as the Golden Rule.
This statement, as Jesus formulated it, is the foundation of active goodness and mercy — the kind of love God shows to us every day.
We have a special opportunity next Sunday to be witness to our children and grandchildren demonstrating in words and acting this type of love.

We will have breakfast snacks provided during the 8:15 and 9:30 worship services, with a full blown, “old fashioned” Methodist pot luck after the 11:00 service.
Our ministry areas and cluster leads will be on hand to answer questions and greet our guests. It is our hope you will join us, with a friend, to make a difference on Back To Church Sunday on September 8th!
Come and invite a friend for a spectacular day of food, fellowship, new faces and ministry opportunities!
September 8, 2013 Sermon: What’s Missing in CH__CH?
The scripture will be Mark 1:29-31. “As soon as they left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew. Simon’s mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they immediately told Jesus about her. So he went to her, took her hand and helped her up. The fever left her and she began to wait on them.”
