***Please join us on Sunday 6/7 at 10 am for our worship service. It will be the first week of the Adverbial Faith Worship Series (https://www.umcdiscipleship.org/articles/miracle-sunday-worship-study-resources -series)
*Worship recap & preview*
Last Sunday, we had an awesome Hymn Sing Service. John did an awesome job staying on the ball.
This coming Sunday we will begin a worship series (developed by Discipleship Ministries) which spotlights the UMC's recently comprised vision statement: "The United Methodist Church forms disciples of Jesus Christ who, empowered by the Holy Spirit, love boldly, serve joyfully, and lead courageously in local communities and worldwide connections." This week, we will lay the groundwork by considering what it means to be a disciple, and our texts will be Ephesians 4:11-16 and Luke 5:1-11
*Participate in worship services through giving the Children's Message*
"Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it." - Proverbs 22:6, NLT.
While God's children should always recognize that there is more to learn, one of the great gifts that youths and adults (who are STILL children to God) can give to their younger siblings is sharing the knowledge they have so far. An exciting way to do this is through providing the Children's Message during our worship seirvices. If you have been feeling led to do this, please reach out to me.
*Slide Ministers*
If you would be interested in volunteering to run the slides during worship services, please reach out to me. I am also looking for people who would be interested in helping to prepare the slide presentations, and proof-read the hymn lyrics.
Do you have testimonial stories, pictures, or items based on ways that you see God working through FPUMC, in your life or in the greater community, that you are interested in sharing? If so, please reach out to me. God is doing wondrous works through this awesome community and its faithful generosity, so let us praise God and encourage each other through sharing God's goodness. We are also looking for people to share pictures of our ministries so that we can post them on our social media pages: Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/frankfordplains).
Do you know of a cool event going on in the community that you think your siblings in Christ at FPUMC may enjoy? A volunteer event, baseball game, program at the park or library that you are doing, and you wouldn't mind some company at? Let your church family know! It can be a great way to build community as we do these things together :)
"27 John replied, “No one can receive anything unless God gives it from heaven. 28 You yourselves know how plainly I told you, ‘I am not the Messiah. I am only here to prepare the way for him.’ 29 It is the bridegroom who marries the bride, and the bridegroom’s friend is simply glad to stand with him and hear his vows. Therefore, I am filled with joy at his success. 30 He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less." - John 3:27-30, NLT
