UNITED METHODIST WOMEN SUNDAY will be celebrated on Sunday, August 29. Since this is a "5th Sunday" we will have just one worship service at 10:00 am. Rev. Sue Ott-Holland will be the guest preacher. She has asked that members of the congregation bring a quilt to be displayed in the sanctuary as she speaks on how we are all small pieces, but together we can do beautiful things. Members of the United Methodist Women will also be taking part in the worship service. Mark your calendar - you don’t want to miss it!!
Then, following the service, join us in the social room for our Annual Church "Picnic". We will enjoy grilled brats and hot dogs, chips, pickles, etc. You don’t need to bring anything - and, the best part is that the event will take place - rain or shine!! A free-will donation will be accepted to help with expenses. Would anyone like to volunteer to do the grilling? Call the office, please.
Be sure to join us for this special day of celebration and fun! See you Sunday, August 29th at 10:00 am.

IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO DONATE TO THE UMCOR HAITI EMERGENCY FUND
Our North Central Jurisdictional Coordinator for UMVIM has requested that we send out an appeal to help Haiti in the aftermath of their devastating earthquake. We have been asked to urge pastors and outreach committees to take an offering for the Haiti Emergency, UMCOR Advance # 418325. 100% of gifts to UMCOR through the Advance support the designated project. You can also give online at the UMCOR website. There you will also find news of the disaster, volunteer information and how we are responding as United Methodists. UMCOR is also asking that you consider putting together Health Kits as part of your response [assembly and shipping instruction available online.] The mission of the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) is to alleviate human suffering—whether caused by war, conflict or natural disaster—with open minds and hearts to all people. Your support will help UMCOR be there to provide long-term recovery efforts for the people of Haiti.

Before posting a word, I should start with an apology for how long it's been since my last post. So there it is.
Writing something here occasionally, though it's something I enjoy, is one of the last things I find time for among the myriad tasks of ministry.
I got word recently that Dan R. Dick, a guy who's held some national positions with the UM Church has been recruited to the staff of our Wisconsin Conference....
Ever since a member of First Church asked me about a new book by atheist Richard Dawkins about a year ago, I've been watching the debate between the so-called New Atheists
"Out of the mouths of babes" is an expression for unexpected words of wisdom that children sometimes come up with. It happened this fall at the CROP Walk for the hungry in Speedway, Indiana where Don and Helen Botsford's grandson is a pastor.
James Howell, pastor of Myers Park United Methodist Church, writes thoughtful commentary on important subjects. Here's one that has been posted on some blogs lately. It's worth reading, especially now when we're winding down the presidential campaign. A helpful caution against identifying our Christian faith with our political party of choice....
Tim Rucks, head football coach at Carthage College, was traveling in California recently where he clipped an LA Times article about the Psalms. I especially appreciate that it shows how the psalms relate to a whole range of emotions, and that "you don't have to put your best suit on" in order to approach God. The article is worth passing along, so here it is....
Two pithy quotes from The Christian Century magazine that are worth passing along...
