Human Relations Day
 Human Relations Day is one of the opportunities for United Methodist Churches to celebrate our connectional work. This day of social action and raising awareness aims to heal social ills at the national level. It supports Community Developers, United Methodist Voluntary Service (UMVS), and the Youth Offender Rehabilitation Program. The first two programs are administered through the General Board of Global Ministries. OFFERING ENVELOPES WILL BE AVAILABLE SUNDAY!



Choosing Sides
At a White House dinner, a churchman offered a benediction and closed with the pious affirmation: "The Lord is on our side."
When President Lincoln did not respond to this sentiment, someone asked him, "Don't you believe, Mr. President, that the Lord is always on the side of the right?"
"I am not concerned about that," was Lincoln's answer, "for we know that the Lord is always on the side of the right. My concern is that I and this nation should be on the Lord's side."



I DO HOPE YOUR WEEK IS AS FULL AS IT CAN BE OF GODS MOST WONDERFUL BLESSINGS!!!!!!

LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU SUNDAY!!!!!

GOD BLESS YOU!!!
