First United Methodist Church News
January 21, 2018
Community Table is Wednesday, January 31. We still need drivers and volunteers. We begin serving at 5 PM and end at 7 PM. Mark your calendar for fun and fellowship.
February 11 will be United Methodist Scouting Sunday.
February 14 is Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. Wasn’t it just Christmas?
Sammy and Jill Moore were happy to have all three of their sons home for a visit and in church with them.
Pat and Lisa Leatherwood were home taking care of their grandson, Liam Cisneros, who had the flu.
Pat Outlaw called to say she missed us but, she has been ill with difficult to cure infection.
Pastor Ken is continuing with his radiation treatments. He drives every day, Monday through Friday to Walker Cancer Center in Brownwood.
Elizabeth Young and Brady Moore had birthdays last Sunday while Sammy Moore and Robert Sohm will celebrate their birthday this coming Sunday.
I served as Worship Leader for our service and our grandson, Jacob McCarley, worked the power point. The scripture lesson was from Mark 1:14-20.
Our congregation extends sincere sympathy to the families of Ester McMillian and Jack Faulkner. Jack is the brother of Charles Faulkner. Also, sympathies go to the family and friends of Mary Walls. Mary is the aunt of Stormy Armstrong and a sister of Pat Humphries.
“Danger in Procrastination” was the title of Rev. Ken Lunsford’s sermon.
It is amazing that the first four disciples of Jesus’, responded to His call without hesitation. Mark tells us that Jesus, as He was walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon, and Andrew, casting a net into the lake. “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will show you how to fish for people.” At once they left their nets and followed Him. When He had gone a little farther He saw James and John in a boat and called to them and without delay they left their father Zebedee and followed Jesus.
Jesus’ call is one of urgency. This is the way life is. The important things require us to respond quickly. There comes a time when a person must change their way of living and do it now. Many times, tomorrow never comes. Procrastinating when you are heeding the call of God is the most serious procrastination of all. Say yes to God. Take that step today.
