Greetings!
I hope that you had a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend over the 4th. It is great to be able to celebrate with people we care about - and we have much to be thankful for.
This week will be our Vacation Bible School at the church. We are excited about this great ministry and pray that God will use it to bless all involved.
Please read below for more information and details on upcoming events. We hope to see you on Sunday!
Yours in Christ,

Youth Lead!
On Sunday mornings we have been going through our series: "This I Believe." We are using this as a chance to prepare for what ministry at FUMC Harlingen might look like in the coming days and years.
This week we will be talking about the importance of Youth Ministry. We all know that this is an important period in our lives - so how can we be the support and encouragement for these young people that they need? Youth are the leaders of tomorrow - but they also can be leaders of today. We hope to see you on Sunday as we open our hearts to God's leading in this area.
David

FUMC Prayer Chain Ministry to Begin
Lisa Roberts, Coordinator
 Prayer is such an important part of the Christian life. It is one of the ways God speaks to us, and how we can speak to him. It is vital that a Christian church be grounded in prayer. At FUMC we want to make sure that we are being intentional about praying for one another and praying for God's guidance. In order to do that we are beginning a prayer chain ministry. We would like anyone who would like to join us in lifting up the prayers of the people and this church to join us. We will keep you informed of the needs by email. Lisa Roberts has agreed to be the point person for this new ministry. We will be putting together our list in the coming weeks and plan on launching it on June 11, 2010. If you are interested in being a part of this ministry, or if you have questions, you can email prayer@fumcharlingen.orgAlso, if you have a prayer request you would like to submit to the church, you can do that on the communication cards on Sunday, or you can email prayer@fumcharlingen.orgNone of us can even imagine what great things God may have in store for us... let's start praying and open the doors to the leading of his spirit. |
