“Jesus went up on a mountain and called those he wanted, and they came to him. He appointed twelve and called them apostles.” Mark 3:13-14a. Midweek musing - Even now, Jesus calls and appoints disciples to share the gospel. Who will go?

Heaven gained a little more sparkle this week. ✨

Dolly Parton, daughter of the Southern Appalachians, born in a one-room cabin in the Smokies, has gone home at 80.

She was kin to these Blue Ridge Mountains so many of us love. And she was kin to us in spirit: a woman who loved boldly, served joyfully, and led courageously. She never hid her shine because she believed God could use a little girl from nothing to light up the whole world. And she did. She put millions of books into the hands of children. She brought hope to the hearts of strangers she'd never met. And her desire to share the Gospel message of God's vast & inclusive love was at the center of it all.

She once said, "I never had children of my own. God didn't let me have children so everybody's children could be mine." That was Dolly — love with no fences around it, wrapped in a whole lot of glitter.

Shine on, Dolly. Thank you for showing us what joyful, courageous love looks like. 💗✨

Part 1 of Sprinkle Preaching Mission 2026 was a blast! We began with our Walk to End Alzheimer's through Mocksville before returning to the Family Life Center for lunch and a conversation with Christopher Holt - the principle artist behind the stunning murals at Haywood Street Congregation UMC in Asheville. We learned a lot from Christopher about the fresco itself and Haywood Street's ministry with people experiencing homelessness.

Join us tomorrow in worship as we hear from Rev. Dr. Mark Conforti, our District Superintendent for the Yadkin Valley District of the United Methodist Church!
