01-13-2021 FUMC Words for Wednesday

Make your ways known to me, Lord. Teach me your paths.

Lead me in your truth - teach it to me - because you are the God who saves me.

I put my hope in you all day long.

 - Psalm 25.4

As our nation continues to reel following the events from one week ago today, please continue to pray for our country. In a time when we’ve lost our way, when we’ve strayed from the path of who we are as a nation, I’m drawn to this verse from the psalm in my prayers.

Also, the Bishop released a video in response to the riots from an extended cabinet meeting earlier this week. She offers a prophetic and pastoral word and I commend it to your viewing. The link is:

 https://www.ngumc.org/newsdetail/message-from-bishop-sue-lets-find-our-plumblines-14945982

Finally, I share a portion of the Prayer of Saint Francis. It is number 481 in our hymnal.

Lord,

make me an instrument of thy peace;

where there is hatred, let me sow love;

where there is injury, pardon;

where there is doubt, faith;

where there is despair, hope;

where there is darkness, light;

and where there is sadness, joy.

Go and be instruments of peace, in the name of the Prince of Peace.

Don

As we continue to return to a more normal worship routine, we still have are making changes to accommodate our new protocols, etc. In light of that, we have now moved the 1st service to 8:45 am. This will help Sunday School classes and the middle service which starts at 9:30 am. The third service is at 11:00 am. We appreciate your patience as we fine-tune our schedule and do our best to make an easy transition from one service to the other.

The Friendship Sunday School Class is suspending class for the next few weeks. We hope to resume again in February.”

On this day of Epiphany, I share the prayer of the day from the United Methodist Hymnal:

O God,

you made of one blood all nations,

 and, by a star in the East,

 revealed to all peoples him whose name is Emmanuel.

Enable us who know your presence with us

 so to proclaim his unsearchable riches

  that all may come to his light

  and bow before the brightness of his rising,

who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,

 now and for ever. Amen.

May you know his presence throughout the new year!

Good Morning Faith Family!

It has been a difficult year for everyone with the uncertainty and so much of our normal life changing. It also has been a year to evaluate the value of the many things we took for granted in our lives. One of the things I pray that you share in is the value of the staff of our ministry here at First United Methodist Church. I don’t know that anyone has a full perspective of how difficult and how many changes were worked through to make ministry happen in spite of the limitations and directives given.It is the tradition of this faith family to show our heartfelt appreciation for our hardworking staff who did whatever was possible to make ministry happen in this difficult and challenging year. If you have it on your heart to show your appreciation for our staff, I would ask you to place your Staff Love Offering in the treasure chests outside the worship space door. Please mark the envelope or note on the check Staff Love Offering. You may also mail your gift to the church office. We will ensure the gifts of Love is shared with the staff in time for their family celebrations.

~ Thank you from the SPR team
