First United Methodist Church News

     Community Table was Tacos!  Join us for food, fun, and fellowship next month on the last Wednesday.  This meal is free, we do not “pass the hat” or set out a jar for donations.  Members of other denominations or no denomination come by for supper.  We do not judge you for the circumstances you may be living in.  But all the workers do have a serious job, it is to represent Jesus Christ in the 21st century.   
     Sunday is fifth Sunday singing and covered dish luncheon.  Bring a dish or two of what is in the refrigerator or pantry and we will have a fine meal.
    The Finance Committee will meet October 1, at 6:30 p.m. to set the budget for next year.  And the Nominations Committee will meet October 3, at 6:00 p.m. to appoint the officers for the coming year.
     Meals-on-Wheels needs drivers to deliver to shut-ins in the Dublin area.  This is on a week-day during the mid-morning hours. Please call 254-967-3510.
     Kevin Stone is a grandpa!  His daughter, Rachael, gave birth to a sweet baby girl and her name is Kelsey Ann Stephens. Congratulations.      
     Lee and Betty Lusk have a new great-grandbaby.  Her name is Rown Adelaide Novosad.  I’m sure I will be giving spelling corrections next week for these names!
     Jill Moore visited with Less and Betty Ethetton’s youngest daughter.  She said her parents send much thanks for our prayers and calls.
     It was wonderful to see Cliff Wooldridge looking well, he and Nancy were in church Sunday and they looked glad, and we were truly glad for them to be there.  It has been a long and difficult road back to health for our friend Cliff.  Once again prayers were answered.  
     Deborah Hammonds is recuperating from her surgery and back in Golden Age Home. She has a lot of therapy ahead of her and she misses her dog, Bubbles.
     Irene Sohm is facing surgery in October. She really needs our prayers for a good out-come.
     Mary Haley has knee surgery in her future. We hope and pray this goes well and is the last surgery Mary must face.
     Our Worship Leader was Jeanne Wendt.  Jeanne read the scripture lesson from James 3:13-4:3, 7-8.
     Pastor Ken Lunsford preached on “Wisdom from Above!”
     Life is unpredictable, things happen that are good and bad, life can be unfair.  That is why our connection to the Holy Spirit, the living presence of Christ, needs to be maintained every day.  We can’t subsist on emergency moments. 
     James talks about earthly wisdom and wisdom from above.  Earthly wisdom inspires envy, ambition, and get ahead at any cost mentality. The wisdom James recommends for us is a heavenly wisdom, one that is focused from a different perspective.  James asserts that those with genuine wisdom will be revealed by their good life, by a daily expression of good works and obedience to God, and by an attitude of humility.  True wisdom is peace-loving and exhibits a spirit of consideration.  We must offer mercy, goodness, impartiality, and sincerity.  The “fruits” of these attitudes will be peace and righteousness and a Christian community of faith that is pleasing to God.
       The church Office number is 254-445-2157 and the fax number is 254-445-2158.  The new phone book has it backwards.  Also, our Office hours are Monday thru Thursday 9am until 1pm.
Pray for God’s will to be done in your church and community every day!
