We hate to have to do this, but weather conditions are such that we are canceling this weekend’s trunk or treat, due to weather conditions in the area.
Instead we are going to reschedule as a Family Fall Festival on Saturday, November 14, 4-7.
We are going to encourage everyone to wear their costumes, play games, enjoy hot dogs and have a great time.

The Apostle Paul, and his faithful companions, Silas and Timothy, were not welcome in many of the places they felt called to visit. And sometimes, after they left, rumors flew, making people think they were charlatans. Paul wrote his letter to the church in Thessalonica to tell them the word of God shared with them was true, and that Faithful Service was required of all who followed Jesus. So....

Exactly what is Faithful Service? Is it showing up? is it taking over when someone else isn't performing up to your standards?
The Apostle Paul had something to say about Faithful Service and what it requires of us, if we are to serve faithfully. We're going to be working out of 1 Thessalonians 2:1-8 on 10/25 @ 9:00.
Our songs are They Will Know We Are Christians, We Are The Church and Bless Be The Ties. Our sending forth is the 2nd verse of Shalom Chavarim.

See you soon!

I think we can all agree that there's enough disagreement in the world today, right? And it feels like life is more contentious than ever before, at least that's how it feels to me. But, as long as people have been near enough to see one another, there's been conflict. It happens today, just like it did 2000 years ago in a small church in a small town called Philippi between two members.
Paul wrote a letter to the church, and in it he recognized the problem. He gave the church some great advice, which included some direction towards joy, as opposed to trying to be happy. Let's put down roots and be determined to stand tall.
We're going to explore that advice tomorrow, and hope you can join us at 9:00, either here online, or live in person in the sanctuary. We're singing some songs you probably have sung to yourself when things were going well, like "It is Well With My Soul"; and some for when you struggle to stand against the storms of life, "I Shall Not Be Moved", and one for when you feel alone, but remember you aren't-"What A Friend We Have In Jesus". Our Scripture is Philippians 4:1-9.

Would you like to hear an animal story of Amazing Grace, to celebrate The Blessings of the Animals at Decker UMC?
Ashlynn adopted this fuzzy white dog, named Ghost, this summer. And she was really excited to be bringing Ghost to church today to be blessed, but things did not work out that way. When Ghost, Buddy and Nako arrived at the church, accompanied by their human escorts, Ghost slipped his lead and, like his namesakes, he disappeared. The family searched for Ghost, tracking him with the assistance of Buddy’s nose, to no avail.
But guess who was lost and now is found? It’s amazing how God’s grace finds us and brings us back to the family God created in which all creatures are included.
