It’s November: Thanksgiving… Advent begins…

Youth Group on Wednesdays…

Wednesday November 10th is an evening of shopping and dessert as we fill Operation Christmas boxes to be sent just from our youth group.

We won’t be meeting on Nov 24th (Thanksgiving Break) but we’re up to fellowship, fun and good God-given words every other Wednesday in November.

Invite your high school & middle school friends and if you need a ride, just call Sherry or Pastor Susan.

It’s October:

Youth Group on Wednesdays…

We won’t be meeting on Oct 20th (Fall Break) but we’re up to fellowship, fun and good God-given words every other Wednesday in October.

Invite your friends and if you need a ride, just call Sherry or Pastor Susan.

Wednesday October 27th is an evening of Halloween games and food and a return to our roots in All Hallow’s Eve. Great time for friends and come for more details this Wednesday.

Remember to save Friday Nov 5th for making and decorating Christmas stockings for prisoners’ children.

Sermon Series and Sunday Small Groups Beginning Sunday September 19th

Meet with us Sunday the 19th at 9:30 for coffee and donuts and fellowship. Then join one of the small groups that will meet for the next four Sundays in a dvd study that will supplement our sermon series on this topic.

After all, one thing we’re all sure of is we don’t always know what to do….but God does.

We will be starting a new study on Tuesday evenings and have decided to read “Run with the Horses” by Eugene Peterson(translator of The Message Bible). Peterson is an author, seminary professor and pastor. Wonderful writer!
“Run with the Horses” uses the story of Jeremiah, in the Old Testament, to help us to ponder living life at its best. Peterson asks, “We all long to live life at its best-to fuse freedom and spontaneity with purpose and meaning. Why then do we often find our lives so humdrum, so unadventuresome, so routine? Or else so frantic, so full of activity, but still devoid of fulfillment? How do we learn to risk, to trust, to pursue wholeness and excellence — to run with the horses in the midst of life?”

 Thanks to everyone who donated money for UMCOR relief in Haiti.  We have delivered over 75 medical kits  as well as cash donations.  We will keep you posted on other ways to assist the earthquake victims.

To My Church Family,
Your check for my Holy Land Trip went in the mail this morning…my passport is current ….a guidebook sits on my bedside table. I can’t begin to thank you enough for your generosity in making this possible for me. I had really given up on dreams of ever seeing Jerusalem, figuring my exotic travel days were behind me. Just shows that where bighearted people of God get with Him on a plan that surprises are always possible. Promise to bring amazing memories back to share with you all——serving Christ together at Shiloh.

Pastor Susan
