Greetings!
Add some W.O.W. to your life! The month of August is about passion, our love of God and how we return God's love in worship as a community of faith each week. I am excited about the month ahead and I hope you are too. I think this should be a month that will provide some great worship experiences as well as healthy and robust conversation and exploration of what it means to be a community in worship. We are people who are created and loved deeply by our creator whose depths of sacrifice and whose breadth of reach toward us is endless! So, how do we continue to live our lives in passionate worship toward the one who created us? What does it mean to be faithful in worship? What is worship?
It's going to be a great month and I know if you're like me, you won't want to miss the experiences and the conversations!
"Ways Of Worship" - The Worship Committee and Education Council are teaming up to provide a series of special Sunday school sessions for the whole church in August. Since I will be preaching on Passionate worship, we will be experiencing and studying different forms of worship throughout the whole month. You won't want to miss these classes and the opportunity to learn as a church what it means to be in passionate worship. Remember that 8:30 worship begins at 8:15 throughout the month of August.
For those looking for a church home..."Pizza with the Pastor" - Sunday, August 8 following the 10:45 worship, I will hold another "Pizza with the Pastor." This is an opportunity for anyone wanting to learn more about the vision, mission and future of Pleasant Valley UMC to discuss it with me. You will also hear how you can best get involved with PV as a new member of this church family. Contact me, Pastor Nathan Stanton at nathans@pvumc.com or Jacque Marr at jacquem@pvumc.com to let us know you will be in attendance. Lunch is free (pizza of course!) and you will be done no later than 1:30p.m.
And remember, don't deny anyone the light of Christ, but, pass it on with the knowledge that it will light other folks lives just as it has yours.
Grace and peace to you all,
Nathan D. Stanton
Senior Pastor,
Pleasant Valley United Methodist Church |
