Greetings !
Summer is great! A little vacationing, a little grilling out, a little
swimming.you get the picture. As you may have noticed, not much went on here
at the church in July. For good reason I might say. Many of you were out
making the most of the summer break. I hope you've had a good time, and I
pray that you've felt the blessing of God upon you in this time.
All that said, we're entering August and doing so with a bang! We have a lot
of things scheduled, planned and lined up. I hope you'll mark your calendars
and make HUMC part of your summer fun.
1. The First Ever HUMC Golf Outing!
Calling all golfers! We're planning a fun golf outing on Sunday, August
15th, following church services. Beginning at 12:30 at The Cherokee Hills
Golf Club we will have a "golf club" lunch consisting of a sandwich, chips
and drink at the club house, followed by groups teeing off at 1:30. Included
with the package is the lunch, along with 9 holes of golf with a cart. The
cost is $22.00 per/person. All we're asking is that you sign up on the
registration at the "Information Center." (Registration is important so
Cherokee knows how many to prepare for). No need to pay up front. They'll
take payments the day of the outing at the course.
This is a great opportunity to invite a friend or two, or family member to
church and then to the golf outing! Golfers of all ages and skill levels
are invited. We look forward to a fun filled day with you and yours!
2. Picnic at the Pastor's Place.
You're invited to a picnic at the pastor's place with him and the family for an afternoon of fun, food and fellowship. We'll be gathering on Sunday, August 29th from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM at 4865 TR 238, Huntsville. Pastor B and Alice will be providing the food and drinks. We hope you'll come. Bring the family and bring a lawn chair. There are all kinds of fun stuff planned.
3. Back to School Supplies!
Sure, it's only July, but school is a few weeks away and we have the
opportunity to participate in a great mission for the schools, students and
the teachers. We spoke directly with the administration of the schools and
here's what they're requesting this year:
- Large book bags
- Headphones (Dollar Tree has for $1.00)
- Crayola Crayons (24 packs)
- Fiskars student scissors (blunt AND pointed tips)
- Colored Pencils
- Cloth zippered pencil bags (NO boxes please)
- Dry erase markers
If you participate, please keep the items in the plastic
bags and place them around the altar in the sanctuary.
4. Education Sunday.
On Sunday, August 22nd, we will be honoring our educators and students and
offering prayers of blessing for all the supplies that we collected through
our Back to School Supply Drive. If you know of a teacher or two, bring them
along for this particular Sunday. We want them all to know we're praying and
pulling for them. It will be a great time!
5. Coming in August: Surveys about our Worship Schedule.
Starting in August we will be conducting surveys to gather your input about
our worship time. We're just curious to know what the differing thoughts
are. It will be a simple survey where all you need to do is check the boxes.
Look for it in about a week!
6. College Students & Military Folks!
It's that time of year again. If you're getting ready to head back to school
this fall, or if you're shipping out for service, please let us know of your
address, phone number and email. We want to stay in touch with you! Thanks.
7. Gifts of Welcome!
The Huntsville Presbyterian church will be receiving their new pastor in a
few weeks. Recently he and his wife gave birth to a new baby (gender unknown
at this time). They will arrive in Huntsville and be in the pulpit on August
15th. Our plan is to go down before their church service, introduce
ourselves and offer the family gifts of baby supplies. So between now and
then, buy a pack of diapers, bottles, etc. etc. Then, on the 15th, at 9:55
we will proceed to the HPC. ONE WORD: This date may change so please try and
remain flexible as we work out the details. AND-Don't tell the HPC we're
doing this. It's a surprise!
8. Daily Bread Leader:
We are in search of a volunteer from HUMC who could serve as our liaison
between Daily Bread of Indian Lake and The HUMC. We're looking for someone
who could commit to being at DB every other month on Tuesdays when we serve.
This person will have to make sure our church has supplied the necessary
items and personnel when it is our time to serve and be able to do any
coordination work between our church and the Huntsville Presbyterian church,
whom we partner with every other month. If interested, please speak with
Pastor Bryan.
9. Junior High/Senior High Students
We're making a strong effort to include our junior and senior high students
in the life of the church through various ways, including liturgy, ushering,
music, gifts and talents. Because we don't want to miss anyone, if you have
a student who is interested in participating in Sunday morning worship,
please let us know. If interested in ushers/greeters, speak with Connie
McGlone @ 843-1923. If interested in doing special music, speak with Alice
Meadows @ 686-5545. If you would like to be involved with liturgy, speak
with Pastor B @ church or call 686-7101, or email him at the office.
10. Serving Opportunities
With September and October on the horizon, we're already thinking about our
officer positions for 2011 at The Huntsville United Methodist Church. We'll
be looking to fill seats on the SPPRC, the Trustees, the Nominations, and
possibly adding another committee for missions. If you are interested in
serving the leadership of this church, please speak with Pastor B or with
current leaders of the church. We can add your names to the list of possible
candidates.
11. Bass Player Sought.
The praise band is looking for a bass guitar player to compliment the music
ministry. If you are interested, or know of someone who might be, please
speak with Gary True or Alice Meadows.
Peace,
