HAPPENINGS WITH KID’S JUNCTION
UMW News – January 2018
The UMW would like to thank everyone who supported the Cookie Walk. Thank you to those who helped set up the event, made cookies, and donated their time. All of your helped made this a great event!
The knitting and sewing group will start meeting on January 4th at 10:30 a.m. for those who would like to join.
The UMW will be hosting a covered dish on January 7th following the 10:30 a.m. service in the fellowship hall. The UMW will provide meat, bread, and drinks. So bring your favorite side dish and join us!
“New Year.”
“And the one who was seated on the throne said, ‘See I am making all things new.’ Also he said, ‘Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true.” [Revelation 21:5 N.R.S.V]
January first begins a new year. For some people this is a major event. They celebrate New Year’s Eve. Many do this by making New Year’s resolutions, most of which are broken by January second. For others it is just another day, no different from December 31st or January 2nd.
For most of my life I found myself numbered among the latter group. The only real significant New Year Day had for me was that it marked, back in the day, the end of college football season.
However, this New Year has a real meaning for me. 2018 will be the year I take Retired Status with the Holston Annual Conference. Having reaching the mandatory retirement age, I have no choice in the matter. So in effect, this will be a new beginning.
John’s vision found in Revelation 21:5 has God promising to make all things new and assuring us that that promise is true. While we usually do not think of this promise except at funerals and those rare times we think about the end of time, I submit that God can and will do a new thing in our lives and in the life of our church beginning this year.
So make a New Year’s resolution to develop a closer walk with God, to deepen your spiritual life and to support your church with more of your money, time and talents than you ever did before. Another resolution I want you to make is to help keep me focused the first half of the year and if I start acting like a “short-timer” call me on it!
God gives us a new year, let us make the best of it!
