Scripture to Treasure

 

Therefore, my beloved, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord, because you know that in the Lord your labour is not in vain. ~ I Corinthians 15:58

With Labor Day just past, this scripture came to my mind. Sometimes when our efforts are not noticed by others we can become discouraged. As you continue this month, know that the work you do for the Glory of God is valued, treasured and a blessing.
 
Know What's New!

We have so many wonderful things happening here at Platte Woods United Methodist Church! There are a few new things that I want you to know about.

 

This month, we have started a new curriculum called FaithWeaver at our 9:30 a.m. Sunday School hour. This curriculum is designed to weave faith into family life. All children through 5th grade will experience the same scripture lesson in an age-appropriate way. We are also excited to offer a new Adult Sunday School class at 11:00a.m. that follows the same curriculum and is designed for Adults! We encourage you to try this class and see the great ways you can connect as a family at home.

 

I am also pleased to announce that Jennifer Nelson will now be the director for both our Sunbeams Preschool and PDO program. We are working to continue to be outwardly focused and finding new ways to be intentional in the mission and vision of the church.
