Today is The Present: Commitment to Christ: Witness

Good Afternoon Church Family!

I pray you are enjoying some incredibly beautiful weather today! 70+ all week long! How awesome! Take time to revel in God's creation!

Yesterday was Laity Sunday throughout The United Methodist Church and our laity here at Christ Community did an outstanding job of leading worship! A special thank you is extended to Larry Kretzler, who shared the message at both services and to a host of other laity who participated in many ways! Our laity's gifts and graces are a joy to watch in action!

Our focus yesterday was on Commitment to Christ: Witness. Following worship, Larry invited everyone to place your commitment cards for witnessing on the plate in the rear of the sanctuary. Here are the results of your prayerful consideration of witnessing:

Mark your calendars! November 4 is Ministry Celebration Sunday! We will celebrate the ministries of our Church! We will also take time to remember, with a grateful heart those lives from our church who have entered the church triumphant over the past year. I invite you to be a part of the day at the 9:26 a.m. or 11:00 a.m. worship services.

Yesterday, we celebrated the Blessing of the Animals! A special thank you is extended to Cheryl Livengood and her mom, Mary for hosting the day for our church and community! It was a beautiful day and all the pets sort of... got along!
