Doin' God's Work -- All Parish Worship

Spring came and sailed past us. Welcome summer; I may add thank God for A/C. The crops seems to enjoy the recent rains. Unfortunately, Nebraska and South Dakota were hit with tornadoes this past week too. UMCOR was there to assist them with emergency supplies. If you would like to make a donation, contact one of the church or lay leaders.

All Parish Worship will be next Sunday at 10:30 at Mozingo Lake at the Lions Shelter. In case of inclement weather, we will move it to Ravenwood UMC. There will be a PPR meeting following the carry-in dinner. Bring your service settings too.

Travis was at Worth County UMC with a history lesson on unity. We are all descendants of God. HIS desire is for us to live in unity, working together to share the message of His love and eternal life.

Habitat for Humanity is building a home in Ravenwood. They need 15 volunteers, both skilled and unskilled, each Saturday throughout the summer from 8-1 pm. Why not unite with some friends and make it a "Praying Hands and Dirty Fingernails" lesson from last year put into action? Call Stacey at (660) 254-4410 to schedule your date.

Sheridan began "Pray and Praise" a few weeks ago at 3:30. Join us as we spend time in fellowship and encourage each other so we may draw closer to God.

As summer begins, we find new, old ways to serve God. Old Defiance UMC Bake Sale June 28th at 8 am. The ladies will be busy this week as we prepare goodies to sell. Life may be like a box of chocolate and you may not know what goodies you will find, so be sure to stop by and check it out.

July series starts on the 6th with "Loving God Back." That reminds me of "Paying it Forward." Jesus paid the ultimate price for our sins. It is so easy for me to praise God for the promises He made and I want to love Him back. Praising and serving God is the best way I know how to "Pay it Forward." I hear the retirement plan is out of this world!

See you at Mozingo Lake Worship Sunday, June 29th at 10:30 under God's open sky to unite in His vision for us!
