We'll Wrap It Up This Week...
Greetings! 

"Follow me and I will make you fishers of men..." 
-Jesus


We have had a great month using fishing as a backdrop to discuss what it means to be a disciple.  It's been fun and we hope you have liked it as well.

This Sunday we will be wrapping up the series, and we hope you will be there to join us.  Following the Contemporary Service (about 12:30 PM) we will gather in the Raimond Christian Center for a Fish Fry.  We hope you will join us... you don't need to bring anything, just come and enjoy!  We plan on fish, coleslaw, hushpuppies, french fries, and some hotdogs for kids who won't eat fish.  Our Youth are also getting in on the act, and they are preparing all of our desserts for us.

Read below for some other things going on at FUMC.  We hope to see you on Sunday!
 
Yours in Christ,

Leadership Institute
This coming week we have a team of six people attending the Leadership Institute at the Church of the Resurrection in Kansas City, KS.  Our attendance at this conference last year provided many good ideas and some positive changes for this church.  Please pray for our team that God will use this week and this year's conference to further our vision and understanding.

 

New Sunday School Opportunity
Beginning on Sunday, October 7, 2012, there will be a new Sunday School opportunity at 9:15 AM in the Fellowship Hall.  Roy Sheneman will lead this class called, 5 Things God Uses To Grow Your Faith, by Andy Stanley.  This class follows what our next sermon series will be covering as well.  Anyone is welcome to join the class.

We think it would be a great class for our Confirmation parents..., you gotta drop the kids off anyway... give it a try!

 

Christmas Musical
This year the musical the J4J Children are working on is called, The Secret of Snowflake County.  Working on the musical gives the children a good experience in music, creative thinking, application of Christian ideals, and participation in church.  J4J will not meet this Wednesday (October 3) but will resume on October 10.  We encourage children K-5 to give it a try.
