The stuffed EEYORE in the front of the church is a reminder of OUR Mission.
As EEYORE floated on the river underneath the bridge, where POOH was standing,
EEYORE asked, “Pooh, if it wouldn’t be too much of a bother, would you mind
rescuing me?” EEYORE therefore reminds each of us of all the people in our
community & neighborhoods waiting for us to rescue them with the acceptance,
Love, & forgiveness of JESUS! Share that GOOD NEWS & BE THE CHURCH!

Beginning TODAY, September 20:
“Adult Confirmation 101”
We will be joining together with folks from Langdon UMC for a 6 week
FAITH ODESSEY on Sunday afternoons at 4:00 PM to explore our faith &
beliefs, learn some interesting church history, & a little about why we do
what we do as we seek to ‘BE THE CHURCH’.
This will be a FUN, but Serious Learning Experience!!
For those who went through Confirmation years ago – in the
United Methodist Church or another denomination – this will be a great review.
For those who have never been confirmed, this is your opportunity to do so!!
(This is open only to adults – 18 years +) To Register…See Pastor KARL
TODAY, SEPTEMBER 20TH, YOU ARE INVITED for cake and coffee following worship in
appreciation of all the acts of kindness shown to us these past months. Your
thoughtfulness is appreciated! Lyle & Bonney Overocker
