Oct. 16 & 17: Jesus BUILDS UP TREASURE IN HEAVEN
Saturday at 5:00 pm
Sunday at 8:00, 9:00, and 10:30 am
In our society we have many things competing for our time. Many of us are "keeping up with the Joneses" and much of our energy is expended by our efforts in accumulating and consuming more material goods. But that is not what the purpose of our lives is supposed to be. We are called to be more than consumers.
In the Gospels, Jesus talks about treasure in Heaven twenty five times. There are twelve events that are concerned with treasure in heaven, one of which is the miracle of the feeding the five thousand; the only miracle recorded in all four Gospels! From these stories about Jesus, we can discern three distinct goals to strive for in our own lives: detachment, an abundance mentality, and justice.
Also, don't forget to bring your "Our Daily Bread" jars to worship. We will have a time during the service when you will have the opportunity to bring your jars forward and 'deposit' your offering in a special way. If you did not take home a jar, you can still take one and bring it back the following Sunday. If you have small children, you can also bring your jars back on Sunday, October 24 to Family Worship in the Chapel at 10:00. All funds from "Our Daily Bread" jars will go toward our Feed My Starving Children mobile packing event April 28-30. Please make checks out to UMCWFB and mark label them FMSC on the memo line.

Join us this weekend as we continue to look at the life of Jesus and how we can more fully conform our lives to his. See you in worship.
