SUMC Announcements

The Liturgist’s Breakfast is scheduled for September 26 at 8:30 AM in the Simpson Room. The breakfast and planning of the program for October, November and December will be discussed. If you are interested in being a liturgist, please come to this breakfast or contact Patricia Leiphart or Atleah Grubb. Being a liturgist is a great way to give service to God and to our church family. Our goal is to be all inclusive and to share our talents in public speaking.

For the young folks, we recently bought four new DVDs for the children’s church program. The Veggie Tales series has two new “Heroes of the Bible” disks with great stories of characters of Bible passages. “Larry Boy and the Fib from Outer Space” is waiting for your viewing; watch and see what kinds of trouble Larry gets into this time. “Can the Penguins Save the Planet!” DVD has lots of action and excitement. These DVDs and 37 others are available in our church library for your use. Come check us out.

Eva Houser, Co-Chair of the library, recently purchased a great book called Thirsty, written by Amy Nappa. The story is written on a very personal level, as to a woman’s view point of the “Woman at the Well”. Eva told me that once you start reading the book, you just can’t put it down. By the time I finished reading the book, I understood the meaning of the “living waters” and have a greater respect for that woman whose life was forever changed. Jesus uses all of us to tell his story and I would challenge you to read Thirsty and see a new view of the Woman at the Well.

This book and many others are available in the church library. Stop in and see what is new.

New library hours will begin in September. The library will be open at 8:00 AM until a half hour after the morning worship service each Sunday. The library is available during normal church office hours. Evening hours are during the Wednesday night Bible Study and Thursday evening from 6:00 to 7:30 PM. For more information and access to the library contact Sandra Lane or Warren Kinneer.

Third Graders, Sarah Bollman and Jeremy McCoy will receive their Bibles from the church on September 27th. We wish each of these young people many fine hours of reading and studying their Bible. May God bless you with understanding as you discover new stories and truths in God’s Holy Book.
