We are a small town church with a big heart and hope to be able to share our love of Jesus with you. We strive always to keep our hearts open to God’s love; our minds open and receptive to the spirit’s leading a

nd teaching; and our doors open to everyone because Jesus came to bring the whole world into the embrace of God’s saving love. This is our mission as followers of Jesus and, if you have no church home, we invite you to share this wonderful journey with us. Our groups and committees meet at various times to share fellowship and further the work of the church. Our mission outreach extends from the local to the global. We believe that everyone is a beloved child of God, called and blessed to be what God intends and we seek to help each person discover what that is for them as they grow in Christ’s love and follow God’s path for their life. Please join us in the journey! There are no exclusively "United Methodist" beliefs. We have no creeds or affirmations that are not also believed by other Christian groups. We do, however, have certain distinctive emphases. United Methodists traditionally proclaim the following:
*The availability of God's grace to all. *Salvation is found in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who died for our sins, and then later, was resurrected. *The church is a community of faithful believers who meet regularly to express their love for God and one another. *Knowledge of God and serving God go hand-in-hand. *God calls us to seek holiness of heart and life, and also to reach out in concern and service to the world.

It's that time again!😉

Proverbs 22:6 (NLT)
6 Direct your children onto the right path,
and when they are older, they will not leave it.

****************
In the process of helping our children choose the right path, we must discern differing paths for each child. It is natural to want to bring up all our children alike or train them the same way. This verse implies that parents should discern the individuality and special strengths that God has given each one. While we should not condone or excuse self-will, each child has natural inclinations that parents can develop. By talking to teachers, other parents, and grandparents, we can better discern and develop the individual capabilities of each child.

Many parents want to make all the choices for their child, but this hurts him or her in the long run. When parents teach a child how to make decisions, they don’t have to watch every step he or she takes. They know their children will remain on the right path because they have made the choice themselves. Train your children to choose the right way.

Psalm 96:1-4 (NLT)
1 Sing a new song to the Lord!
Let the whole earth sing to the Lord!
2 Sing to the Lord; praise his name.
Each day proclaim the good news that he saves.
3 Publish his glorious deeds among the nations.
Tell everyone about the amazing things he does.
4 Great is the Lord! He is most worthy of praise!
He is to be feared above all gods.

*****************
The psalm writer sings out his praises to God, overwhelmed by all that God has done. As we reflect on God’s majesty and his goodness to us, we cannot help telling others about him. Witnessing comes naturally when our hearts are full of appreciation for what he has done. God has chosen to use us to “publish his glorious deeds among the nations.” Praise for our great God overflows from his creation and should overflow from our lips. How well are you doing at telling others about God’s greatness?

Ephesians 2:19 (NLT)
19 So now you Gentiles are no longer strangers and foreigners. You are citizens along with all of God’s holy people. You are members of God’s family.

*****************
A church building is sometimes called God’s house. In reality, God’s household is not a building but a group of people. He lives in us and shows himself to a watching world through us. People can see that God is love and that Christ is Lord as we live in harmony with each other and in accordance with what God says in his Word. We are citizens of God’s Kingdom and members of his household.

Galatians 3:28 (NLT)
28 There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.

***************
Some Jewish males greeted each new day by praying, “Lord, I thank you that I am not a Gentile, a slave, or a woman.” The role of women was enhanced by Christianity. Faith in Christ transcends these differences and makes all believers one in Christ. Make sure you do not impose distinctions that Christ has removed. Because all believers are his heirs, no one is more privileged than or superior to anyone else.

It’s our natural inclination to feel uncomfortable around people who are different from us and to gravitate toward those who are similar to us. But when we allow our differences to separate us from our fellow believers, we are disregarding clear biblical teaching. Make a point to seek out and appreciate people who are not just like you and your friends. You may find that you have a lot in common with them.

John 6:29 (NLT)
29 Jesus told them, “This is the only work God wants from you: Believe in the one he has sent.”

***************
Many sincere seekers for God are puzzled about what he wants them to do. The religions of the world are people’s attempts to answer this question. But Jesus’ reply is brief and simple: We must believe on him whom God has sent. Satisfying God does not come from the work we do, but from whom we believe. The first step involves accepting that Jesus is who he claims to be. All spiritual development is built on this affirmation. Declare to Jesus, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God” (Matthew 16:16), and embark on a life of belief that is satisfying to your Creator.

Isaiah 26:3 (NLT)
3 You will keep in perfect peace
all who trust in you,
all whose thoughts are fixed on you!

***************
We can never avoid strife in the world around us, but when we fix our thoughts on God, we can know perfect peace even in turmoil. As we focus our mind on God and his Word, we become steady and stable. Supported by God’s unchanging love and mighty power, we are not shaken by the surrounding chaos (see Philippians 4:7). Do you want peace? Keep your thoughts on God and your trust in him.
