Our Missionaries: Matt Williams Update: A lot has changed in Matt’s life in the past few months. Most importantly he was married in August. He and his wife Jenny will continue working with CRU (formerly Campus Crusade for Christ). Matt has relocated from California to Indianapolis where he and Jenny will serve college students at Butler and a campus of Indiana University. Please pray for the Williams family as they begin this ministry together. Reyes Visit: Ben and Jenny Reyes will be visiting again on Sunday, November 16. Ben, born in Puerto Rico, and Jenny, born in Brazil, have ministered in Brazil and Paraguay since their marriage in 1989. They have two adult sons, Phillipe and Mathias. In the past eight years they have been involved in training missionaries for national and international missions. Today they use their skills, experience, and studies done at Asbury Seminary. Ben and Jenny will need overnight accommodations on November 15. If you can help or have questions, please contact Dan Christmus at 754-6675. The Angel Tree Christmas Party will be held on Saturday, December 13. There are many areas where assistance is needed to support this ministry. Please visit the church website at www.neumc.com and sign up for an area you can help support. Prison Fellowship’s Angel Tree program is the only nationwide effort that specifically reaches out to hundreds of thousands of innocent children who carry the heavy burden of their parents’ incarceration throughout the year. At Christmastime, Angel Tree introduces prisoners and their children to Jesus and brings healing and restoration to families destroyed by crime. For more information or questions, please contact Linda Wargel at 786-9992. Grace Happens Here at NEUMC. The Grace small group study group is asking for the help of NEUMC to collect canned and boxed food along with your change during the month of October for God’s Storehouse. We will be collecting any change you can spare for this worthy cause after both services. God's Storehouse is a place for those living in Northeast Columbia to go when they are in need of help. God Storehouse helps the people with food, clothing, etc. ch will The Pat his close t , Friday r 31 .

MEMORY VERSE Welcome Guests and Members! Hebrews 5:13-14 (NIV) We are so glad that you are here and hope you feel at home as you join us in worship. We’d like to get to know you better. Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. SERMON LESSON Date:__________________________ Service 11:15 Member Hebrews 5:11-6:3 (NIV) 11 We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain because you are slow to learn. 12 In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God's word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! 13 Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. 14 But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. 6:1 Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God, 2 instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. 3 And God permitting, we will do so. 9:00 Regular Attendee First Time Guest New Resident Name(s) Name(s) & Ages of Children Address, City, State, Zip FAMILY MINISTRY MINUTE "There are no shortcuts to discipleship. To reach the broken you must journey through the valley of brokenness...The people on your job and in your neighborhood need to see you dealing with the same problems they encounter but with the joy and strength of the Lord..." Those words by Tommy Tenney remind us to be clear about our goals when dealing with our brokenness. ─Gerald Watford, Director of Family Ministries SERMON NOTES Home Phone: Email: How Did You Learn About NEUMC? 1.
