Message from our Pastor - Week #7

Fruitland and Payette United Methodist Churches




April 30, 2020

Good morning.
​
This will be the seventh Sunday we will not be gathering in our buildings for worship, Christian education, prayer meetings, community activities, or faithful interaction. Suspension of services and building use will continue through May 30.

The Payette congregation now has a wonderful website (payetteumcchurch.org). Jean Hershey put this terrific tool together.

This Sunday’s worship service will, again, be recorded (audio only) and available on our congregation’s websites. The worship service audio recording and written resources will be ready by Saturday. Communion will be part of Sunday’s worship service.

Your generous response to our Grocery Gift Card mission has been amazing! The $500 grants are “in the mail” but your gifts to this project makes these grants look like “seed” that is producing an incredible “crop”. Thank you!

Among Sunday scripture readings is Acts 2:42-47. It is describes the church right after it was born. Read those six verses. Then do two things for me. What part of that description surprised you the most? How would you describe our congregations?

Care for you souls and bodies…and wash your hands,
Pastor Jim

PS – Thank you for responding to last week’s questions. Your answers are helpful and confidential.
