Bringing Life to Our Words
June 12, 2022
James 1:15-17
1 John 2:3-6
[3]We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. [4]Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. [5]But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: [6]Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.
John 13:15-17
[15]I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. [16]Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. [17]Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.

Methodist Men’s Annual Bar-B-Q
A huge THANK YOU(!!!) to everyone that had a hand in pulling off yet another successful Bar-B-Q fundraiser. From the wood cutting, to ticket sales, to coordinating “all the things”, to grilling the meat and cooking the sides, to baking cakes, to making monetary donations, to working the assembly line to prepare the plates, etc, it takes all hands on deck, and we’re so thankful for everyone who played a part–big or small. Approximately 1,750 plates were sold.
Family Night Supper
We’re wrapping up our Family Night Suppers for the spring months. We’ll take a break for summer and resume in August. We look forward to the meal and fellowship each week–it’s truly a blessing to have this time together. Please join us if you will!

We’re excited to announce the church cookbook is now available for purchase. It’s a combination of favorite, old recipes and lots of new recipes.
