newsletter

Hi Everyone!                                                March 27, 2025
This will be a short newsletter this week. My whining about weeping willow trees turned into pneumonia last week and I have been sick!  I have been pretty healthy since I retired as a kindergarten teacher so this caught me unaware. I’m steadily getting better and Ron is taking good care of me.
The UMM will be making lunch for us this Sunday after church. I am told it will be a taco feed and ice cream bar so come hungry and plan to join us for lunch.
Danny Crego will be teaching a Wesleyan Class on Fridays starting on Friday, May 2nd. Please talk to him about this class if you are interested. Danny is excited about it so I know it will be great.
Don’t forget that this Sunday is UMCOR Sunday. All money collected will be sent to UMCOR for administration costs for the rest of the year so that you know that anything you give the rest of the year goes directly where you want it to go. If you write a check, just write UMCOR Sunday on the memo line. You can include it in your regular offering, just indicate it on the check. Our fabulous finance crew will get it to the right place.
Leslie Olson asks us to pray for her kids and grandkids as they travel to Washington DC and NYC this spring break. Pray for their safety.
Keep Shane Wright in your prayers as his foot heals. He is still supposed to keep off of it as much as possible. Pray for him to find the correct balance.
Our local kids are out of school this week. Keep the kids, parents and teachers in your prayers this week as always. Pray for much needed rest for all three groups!
Please pray for Weston Tuckness, a student at PHS.  He has a rare type of very aggressive stage 4 lymphoma cancer. After many rounds of chemotherapy, he is now facing radiation and stem-cell replacement. He is Lonnie Tuckness’ grandson.
Catherine Fry’s nephew Butch passed away on Sunday night. Please keep Butch’s entire family in your prayers as they grieve.
Keep our nation in your prayers as we go through these rough times.
Please remember to bring Easter candy to church with you as soon as you can along with prizes for the prize eggs. You can donate money if you’d rather have us shop for you. The Easter Egg Hunt will be on Saturday. April 12th. We will need volunteers.
We are making plans to honor our graduating seniors on Sunday, May 18th. Our own Kathryn, Caleb and Lizzy will all be going to universities! We will be putting the blessing pitcher out for them closer to the time. Be sure and make plans to join us on May 18th.
Enjoy the spring weather and we hope to see you in church.
Blessings,
Cris
