Ministry Center Needs
We will be collecting the following items in the month of May for the Ministry Center.
Jelly Raman Noodles Boxed Meals Soup Crackers Fruit
Why? How? …. Because He Lives
The song Because He Lives was written and first sung by Gloria and Bill
Gaither in 1971. A good Methodist friend of mine, Ed, loves them. When
the Gaither Family finally held their first concert in Ed’s home town of St.
Louis, Ed bought us tickets to attend. Ed did the same thing when Billy
Graham came to town in his last tour of revivals. [Michele used her
connections to reciprocate by securing a seat for Ed when Pope John Paul II
visited in 1999.] I always had respect for both Billy Graham and Bill and
Gloria Gaither, but Ed’s love for them have truly increased my appreciation.
In just a single verse, Because He Lives lines out the heart of the Good
News of the Christian Faith: “God sent his Son, they called him Jesus; he
came to love, heal, and forgive; he lived and died to buy my pardon, and
empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.”
The refrain goes on to answer the question of, “So what?” “Because he
lives, I can face tomorrow; because he lives, all fear is gone; because I
know he holds the future, and life is worth the living just because he lives.”
Just last Sunday, we celebrated Easter and the empty grave. Over the next
several weeks, through a worship series, we’ll explore the “So what?” of
our faith.
April 23rd – See its impact through the way our ministries connect us with
God and each other.
April 30th – Get a right attitude by offering your gratitude.
May 7th - Through the practice of prayer, see what God reveals.
May 14th – Experience the joy in sacrifice.
May 21st – Strengthen your commitment in faithful living.
May 28th – Deepen your faith and get underway.
June 4th - Grow in grace and experience the fruits of the Spirit.
Because Christ lives we know that death and loss do not have the final
word. This worship series takes us from Easter to Pentecost and will help
us live out our identity as the Body of Christ in the world.

Financial Situation
Through March 2017
Church offerings to the General Fund through March totaled $128,457,
with $26,270 of that amount coming from one-time designated gifts to
Close the Gap. General Fund Expenses through March totaled
$105,679.
By continuing this trend in giving throughout the upcoming Because He Lives capital campaign designed to payoff the debt for the new addition, we will be on track to not only meeting our budget needs but reducing the residual deficit in the General Fund, thus providing for the mission and ministries of the church. So, as we are able, let's follow through with our committed patterns of giving and those who are able, contribute to Close the Gap. Your pastor's family is still matching contributions to that designated giving at a rate of 1:4. so, were $45,000 or more be given, they'll give $15,000.

We will have three meetings focused on expectations, the purpose of mission, and how to remain informed while the kids are away and have some fun too. Prep Gatherings: Sunday, May 21st, 3:00:4:00 meeting one hour before our Year End BBQ, anyone who wants to ride out to the park after the meeting ends for food and Bubble Soccer is welcome. Sunday, June 4th & 18th, 3:00-4:00 and the gathering on the 18th is just to make sure all questions, concerns, and paperwork are addressed. We look forward to an amazing trip.

Immersion Scripture Bible Study led by Scott Moon. Immersion will focus on the life of King David and the books that tell David’s story. We will examine the scriptures and discuss how to apply the lessons to our modern lives. The Immersion Bible Study will offer adults:
the emotional expectation to find the love of God the rational expectation to find the knowledge of God reliable, genuine, and credible power to transform lives clarity of language and the opportunity to dive into the culture of King David’s time
Join us Wednesday Nights at 6:30 pm in room 300.

Prayer Teams
You are invited to be a part of the Prayer Team Ministry at FUMC whether you are making a permanent commitment or just want to "come and see", groups meet several times during the week in the Prayer Chapel (just across from the church office). Each group that meets in the Prayer Chapel, share or read the joys and concerns, offer silent prayer and then depart (at least as a group) after 30 minutes.
If your schedule will not allow you to attend your regular group, you may choose to participate at the time from wherever you are, you can choose to attend at another Prayer Group time, or you may come to the Chapel on your own at another time, whenever the church is open. It is designed to be a very relaxed atmosphere, and we hope you will give it a try.
How do you join a prayer team? Just show up at one of the given times below, contact David or Carol Baird or the church office for more information.
Monday 3:00 pm Tuesday 6:30 a.m. Tuesday 6:00 p.m. Tuesday 8:15 p.m.
