“Let’s Do L.I.F.E.
Together”
Capleville Messenger
From Pastor Autura Hampton
"Love
bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things,
endures all things." - 1 Corinthians 13:7
It is week 4 of the season of Lent. How are you doing
with your Lenten fast? Some of us have given up things
we like to eat or love to do. Maybe you have followed
the messages from our sermon series and are giving up
enemies, feelings of superiority, expectations, or control. Whatever your Lenten discipline, remember the
goal is not really about being successful. It is about loving God and drawing
nearer to Him.
I’m reminded of the second verse of I Am Thine, O Lord that helps me to remember that I serve the one who bears all things, believes all things, hopes all
things and endures all things, Jesus the Christ!
Consecrate me now to thy service Lord

AT A GLANCE
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope

And my will be lost in thine
Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord

To the cross where thou hast died

Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord

To thy precious bleeding side

In the Grip of God’s Grace!

United Methodist Women
The UMW Unit needs photos of the past UMW members and meetings. These photos will
be cared for and displayed in the large photo frame in the UMW room. If anyone has some
photos, preferably the size of the photos in the frame in the UMW room…...about 5x7.
We would love to display some of the many women who have brought our Unit to the
present. Even small photos can be matted and put in frames. The photos need to be labeled for ownership, so they can be returned. We will change them from time-to-time, so
hopefully every one of the ladies can enjoy our history. We have such wonderful ladies to
draw from in the work we do for Christ’s Church.
