The Express                         
Roseburg First United Methodist Church
The week of July 10
Engage God... Engage One Another... Engage Life!


This Sunday I'm called away to the Western Jurisdictional Conference.  My friend, the Rev. Gary Powell, has graciously accepted my invitation to preach. You'll be impressed with what he has to say!

This issue of the Express provides an update for the next week's happenings around Roseburg's First United Methodist Church.  If this weekly newsletter comes as a surprise to you, it's probably because we've added you to the mailing list!  If you don't want to receive the Weekly Express every Thursday, simply scroll to the bottom of the page to use the SafeUnsubscribe option.  Uncheck the Weekly Express and you'll no longer receive it 

The hope, of course, is that you'll stay with us and up to date on all the great things going on in and through this church!
 
Blessings -
Pastor Scott Harkness
