Upside Down, Inside Out
A Bible Study on the Sermon on the Mount
In the “Myth, Madman, or Messiah” series, we looked at WHO
Jesus is. In Upside Down, Inside Out, we’ll look at WHAT
JESUS TAUGHT.
Join Pastor Claude on Wednesday nights (6:40-7:20 pm) or on
Thursday mornings (10-11 am) beginning October 22 for an
8-week study of the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7). This
sermon contains some of Jesus’ most famous sayings—
the Beatitudes, the Golden Rule, “turn the other cheek,” and
others. Many consider it the core of Jesus’ teaching.
Our Charge Conference
will take place at 3pm
on Sunday, October 19
at Bunker Hill UMC.
For more information
or questions, call the
church office at
993-3411.
To sign up for “Upside Down, Inside Out,” please call (9933411) or email (churchoffice@mainstreetumc.org) the church
office no later than Friday, October 17.
Bearing One Another in Love
A Class Taught by Stephen Minister, Melissa Dreshfield
You have probably seen the banner in the Narthex, the cards in
the pews, and the information in the bulletin about Stephen
Ministry. But how much do you really know about our
Stephen Ministry program? Come to "Bearing One
Another in Love" on Wednesday, October 15 at 6:40pm in the
Chapel, and learn about Stephen Ministry. Find out the
history behind the program, what Stephen Ministers do, how the
program helps the church and the community, and most
importantly, what YOU can do to help the ministry.

Share Your Faith This Christmas
Sharing the good news of Jesus’ birth is one way to make a
difference in a hurting world. Cantata Sunday is an
opportunity to invite those who might not normally be in
worship to come experience a special sharing of that good
news through music. Perhaps you have a song in your heart
but are not currently involved with a choir or have never
been part of a choir? Come Ye Faithful is an assessable work
based on traditional carols and is the perfect starting place
for new singers. Christmas is a busy time of year, but sharing
the good news is really what the season is all about. And one
of the wonderful surprises of the season is that singing in a
choir brings as much joy to the singer as it does to the hearer,
maybe even more! Consider being a part of the Christmas
choir, and join us this week in rehearsal. Main Street offers
identical rehearsals on two different nights: you may
choose Mondays or Wednesdays, from 7:30-8:30pm. A
listening CD is available. The choirs of MSUMC will
present Come Ye Faithful, a Service of Carols on December
14, 2014 at the 8:30 and 11:00 Services.
