THANK YOU - Dear Church Family: My dad and family would like to thank everyone for your outpouring of prayers and love during the past week with the passing of my mom. It is always hard to deal with a death of a spouse and parent, but you folks have held us in your arms to help ease the pain. My dad can't believe the number of cards received and people who came to the viewing both Thursday evening and Friday morning. Whether you called, sent a card, visited, provided food, or helped with the service and meal afterwards, please know that we appreciated everything that was done. It is a wonderful feeling to know that we are part of such a great family. God Bless each and every one of you. ~ Kim Germino ~

GOOD SAMARITAN’S GENEROSITY - Over the next 6 months, will you make a commitment to God & this church in your giving over & above your regular giving? We know it can be done; we have just witnessed this miracle during the 200th Anniversary.
We are asking you to make a commitment on a specific amount and give in either one payment or six payments, whichever you prefer.
Commitment Sheets with payment slips are located on the sign up table. Please pray about this and let the Lord direct you in your giving.
———————————————————————
PRAYER BEARS - There are some fuzzy friends with us at WMUMC. They are “Prayer Bears” and are for anyone (men & women, boys & girls) going through difficult times. We hope that these bears will reach people with the love of Jesus Christ and bring comfort to those experiencing life transitions, illness, grief, etc. These bears will sit in the Sanctuary at WMUMC, hear the Word read & taught, prayers prayed, and songs of praise sung and then be given to individuals going through difficult times with prayers for comfort, strength, & healing.
Be on the lookout for people who need a “Prayer Bear” (could be someone who is sick, going through a divorce, lonely, or just needs a pick-me-up).
Just come to the church office & let Sara know you would like to take a bear & who it is for. A confidential list will be kept so we don’t duplicate who gets them.
“Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” (Galations 6:2)
