Quote of the Week
|
|
Salvation does not now come by the ‘redemption’ of the political order, but by the new birth that brings lost sinners into the kingdom of God. - - Edmund P Clowney
|

|
When was the last time you set a goal, put a plan in motion, worked the plan and completed the vision just like you originally saw it? For me, the answer is never. It seems strange that I would keep planning, envisioning, implementing when I know full well everything is going to change as I work through things. I have come to believe that learning how to work through things that require adjustments is actually one of the keys to success.
|
I have wondered from time to time if Jesus is a response to a needed change. When God made us, did He expect we would be so rebellious and need so much help? I think maybe He knew. The Scriptures teach Jesus was part of the plan long before people were ever created. Imagine the love it takes to make something you know will make you cry when they wander away just to experience the joy when they come home.
|
If you have wandered from God, then make his joy complete and come home to him. God knew you before you were conceived. Even before the world was made, he had planned for our salvation. That is a loving and caring creator.

|
I love being your pastor,

Congratulatory Letter from the FMC Treasurer
|
|
|
I am writing to thank you for your faithful living as disciples of Jesus Christ by giving 100 percent of your apportionments for 2019.
|
|
|
Over the years, I have learned that a sign of a healthy congregation is full support of the rest of the connection. You are the ones who have a joy in God’s gifts, given in abundance, and who are practicing a spirit of generosity that points to a larger vision of the Church as a communion of congregations in common mission and ministry to the world. We appreciated all of you continued support in the current difficult times and pray that you and your congregation continue to thrive.

Update from Vacation Bible School (VBS)
|
|
We are working hard on preparing the sets for our virtual VBS this year! It is going to be an amazing adventure - for ALL of us! We just want to provide some additional details:
VBS will be held from 6-8 pm nightly 7/13-7/17/20.
|
Everything will be pre recorded and then we'll post the recording on Youtube. It will sent to all who registered on the link. We selected the Youtube format in lieu of Zoom as it will allow more viewing - we hope to reach as many kids as possible.
|
Once it is posted you can view it at anytime. Age limit? Any age can attend but just a bit of info for the very young kids since the crafts are "geared for ages 4 through 5th grade". Please keep this in mind for the 'little ones'.
|
|
Just a reminder again, please make sure you register by 7/1/20 (each child individually) to insure that we reserve a kit for them. The kids will be able to pick up their VBS kits and when they do they will be about to tour the sets and meet the actors!
|
Our prayer is that Parents will enjoy this time together with their children learning more about our AMAZING GOD! God bless you and keep you safe, we can't wait to "see" you on the Rocky Railway!

Fears were faced! And lots of fun was had! We are the change in this world! God bless you Wesley family!
