THOUGHTS ON PRAYER We have looked at Adoration and Confession. Today I would like to look at Thanksgiving the T of ACTS. If you have a computer you have probably seen the email about the seven modern wonders of the world. A class was asked to list the seven wonders of the modern world. Many students listed buildings and monuments. One little girl had difficulty choosing among the many wonders. She listed: to see, to hear, to touch, to taste, to smell, to love, to be loved. I think it would be fun to take a day and thank God for things that I can smell, or a day to thank God for things that I can hear. This could be difficult if you are deaf or blind but the other senses are still available. Psalm 34:8: Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

To My Church Family—I want to thank you for all your prayers, phone calls, cards, visits, and food following my recent surgery. Bob especially enjoyed the meals—he didn’t have to cook. Thanks again for your thoughtfulness. Sincerely, Carol Shelton

GOLF CART MINISTRY

Someone to keep the Lebanon Road sign updated.

The golf cart has been repaired and upgraded and is now in service. Drivers are needed for the 9:00 worship service, 10:00 Sunday School, 11:00 worship service, and 12:00 after the service. Usually the cart is available 15-20 minutes prior to each time. Some have combined times (ex. some have volunteered to drive both before and after the 9:00 service, which would include the 10:00 schedule , or before AND after the 11:00 service). All times are flexible and your availability at one time slot and/or more is up to you. Please consider this vital ministry. A sign-up sheet is on the welcome center. Volunteer today!

Must be able to spel. Contact Danny Fleming if interested.

FALL CHURCH BAZAAR Beginning the week of June 1 and continuing through the summer months, we will be collecting items for the October Bazaar Garage Sale by appointment.

UNITED METHODIST MEN The UMM meet for dinner on the 1st Thursday of each month. The next meeting is July 2. An excellent meal is prepared for us each month—the menu will be announced nearer to meeting time—and a variety of programs are planned for the coming months. Meeting time is 6:30 PM. Every man in the church is a member and encouraged to attend regularly. Please prayerfully consider being a part of this program of the church. You are needed! The 3rd Thursday of each month a group of men from CHUMC meet at Shoney’s at 8:00 AM for a prayer breakfast—a short devotion and time of prayer for the church, followed by breakfast and fellowship. We leave as we need to. Some of the wives are coming and usually meet separately. Reserve the THIRD THURSDAY of each month at 8:00 AM.

Hope to see you on the 22nd of August
