October 7-9, 2018
Supper at 6:00 pm in Ashland Hall
Followed by Service at 7:00 pm in the Sanctuary
We welcome as our Guest Minister
Rev. Smoke Kanipe, Senior Minister
Shandon UMC, Columbia
Rev. C. E. "Smoke" Kanipe was appointed as Senior Minister at Shandon United Methodist in June, 2016. He
says even back in his childhood days, one of the things he would tell folks he wanted to be when he grew up
was a pastor.
After Smoke graduated from Spartanburg High School, he went to Duke University and Duke Divinity School to
prepare to be a pastor, and for over 30 years he's been living out that childhood dream. He says, "I feel very
blessed that God has called me to do the thing that I enjoy most in life."
Before Smoke came to Shandon, he served SC Methodist congregations in Mauldin, Greenville, Spartanburg,
and in England (UK). Smoke and Sue, his wife, have two children, Hannah and Nicholas.
His FAQ: "Where did 'Smoke' come from? Not a very exciting story, really. My dad's nickname was 'Smokey.'"

The Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; the third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
Gloria Patri Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Amen.
Doxology Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye heav’nly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.
The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
Altar Flowers
The flowers are given to the glory of God and in honor of Hope’s Derrick’s 8th birthday and Shelby Derrick’s 5th birthday with love from Mama, Daddy and Jordan.
Remember in Prayer Sherrie Franks; Lynne Mahaffey; Mylla Markland; Bill Turner; Claire Dickerson, Granddaughter of Linda Dickerson
The Confession (to be prayed by all) Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, maker of all things, judge of all people: We acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness, which we from time to time most grievously have committed by thought, word, and deed, against thy divine majesty. We do earnestly repent, and
are heartily sorry for these our misdoings; the remembrance of them is grievous unto us. Have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us, most merciful Father. For thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, forgive us all that is past: and grant that we may ever hereafter serve and please thee in newness of life, to the honor and glory of thy name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Today’s Scripture Romans 13: 8-14
Pew Bible NT p. 162
Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery; You shall not murder; You shall not steal; You shall not covet”; and any other commandment, are summed up in this word, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore, love is the fulfilling of the law. Besides this, you know what time it is, how it is now the moment for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we became believers; the night is far gone, the day is near. Let us then lay aside the works of darkness and put on the armor of light; let us live honorably as in the day, not in reveling and drunkenness, not in debauchery and licentiousness, not in quarreling and jealousy. Instead, put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.

Meetings on “A Way Forward”
The 2106 General Conference of the Methodist Church created the Commission on "A Way Forward" to examine and suggest possible revisions to the Book of Discipline concerning human sexuality and to explore options that help maintain and strengthen the unity of the church. The Council of Bishops will submit a report to the Special Session of the General Conference in 2019 that includes three plans for a way forward considered by the Commission. Church Council is presenting two informational meetings regarding "A Way Forward" on Sunday, October 21st at 2:00 and 5:00 in Ashland Hall. Herman Lightsey will provide a brief description of the three plans (Traditionalist, One Church, and the Connectional Conference Plans), the process for consideration of the plans at the 2019 General Conference, and how you can make your thoughts / concerns known regarding the plans. We anticipate the presentation lasting approximately 30 minutes.
