The story of Job turned from Job asking God questions to God asking Job questions - God speaks, and asks us to listen! Pastor John Blossom's sermon "Why...Is It Hard to See God's Will for Us?", with prayers, and sending charge podcast is below, and sermon text is here and below the podcast.

We also celebrated the wonderful work of so many church people who pitched in to make 72 apple pies from scratch on Saturday - even Lexi, Jennifer's daughter, pitched in! People picked up the unbaked pies fresh or frozen, but here's a photo of one of the first out of the oven, along with church members deep in pie-making. Yum! Have a blessed week!
OUR CHARGE TO KEEP THIS WEEK
Listen for God! God is always giving us answers! Live a life that is an answer to God’s prayers for the world! Let the world see what we hear in our hearts!

We had excellent witnesses this Laity Sunday from Charlene Bodero, Bruce Bryand, Hollis Hartford, and Jocelyn Vaughan, who each shared from their hearts how their faith and our church shapes their lives. Paul Pilecki was our worship leader for a day of celebrating our "draw the circle wide" church who are God's people in Christ. The United Methodist Women honored Pastor John Blossom on Pastor Appreciation Sunday with a beautiful bard, a tasty cake for everyone, and a gift certificate for - where else? - Tom's Place. Thanks to everyone for a day of love, joy and grace!
OUR CHARGE TO KEEP THIS WEKH
Halleluja! We are the church, together! Let’s draw the circle of Christ’s church wide, and deep, and strong, so that the whole world may see Christ reflected in us, and touching them, for the sake of God’s church!

Our Afternoon Tea this Saturday was a sellout, with the singing and story-telling of of Patty Carver bringing the life of Doris Day alive in our sanctuary. Patty's amazing performance was a romantic, warm, sentimental journey that set the tone for our "high tea," with fantastic tea cakes, sandwiches, and treats. Our fellowship hall was decorated with love, joy, and delighted our guests. Thanks so very much to event hostess and coordinator Edie Marcantonio and all the United Methodist Women of our church who helped to make this event such a wonderful success! Photos gallery below.

What if God is really listening to our prayers? What if the One who made all of creation has answers to prayers we haven't even asked? Pastor John's sermon series on the Bible story of Job continued this week with a look at why our prayers seem unanswered sometimes - when God has even better answers to offer us!

After a yummy fellowship time with fresh-cooked eggs and hash-browns (thanks, Mary Barker!) we had a blessing our member and community pets in the afternoon. Many dogs, and even some cats, came by from the neighborhood to have their blessings from God confirmed. Our pets are God's answers to our prayers so often! Podcast with sermon, prayers, and sending charge below, sermon text here and below the podcast. Have a blessed week!
OUR CHARGE TO KEEP THIS WEEK
in the middle of life’s challenges, a loving God is already answering our prayers with love, and asking us to become God’s answers to the world’s prayers, in the love of Christ. Pray! Listen! Be God’s answers to prayers!

This World Communion Sunday we celebrated our solidarity with Christians around the world, whose faith is spreading Christ's integrity in the face of persecutions, and who reach out to all people of faiths in the unity of the one God's everlasting love. 

Pastor John started his four-part sermon series "Why..." focused on the Bible book of Job, who shows the integrity of his devotion to God in the middle of great suffering. Our Holy Communion was offered first to the children of our church, reminding us that Jesus welcomed us to trust in him like children. Worship podcast below, sermon text here and below the podcast. 

​Thank you for a joyful worship - have a week filled with the strength and integrity of God's love!
OUR CHARGE TO KEEP THIS WEEK
God invites us to live a life of hope, built on the integrity of a heart that trusts in God, no matter what! We don’t have to understand God perfectly to live this way - we just have to be perfectly willing to trust God and move forward. Let’s move!
