Looking Ahead
I just got back from the Northwest Texas Annual Conference (NWTX) of
the Methodist Church, which was held in Lubbock, TX, this year. As you
probably know, FUMC Canyon is a part of the NWTX Conference, which
is made up of all of the churches in the Texas Panhandle all the way
down to Midland, Abilene and Childress.
It is at Annual Conference each year that ministers are given their official
appointment for the coming year. I am excited and extremely blessed that
I have been reappointed to FUMC Canyon for another year. It’s hard to
believe we are beginning our seventh year in ministry together here.
Thank you for the blessing you have been to my family. We look forward
to what God has in store for us together in the year to come.
One of the big parts of what the Conference voted on this year was a
strategic plan that will guide our work over the next several years. There
are five main points of this plan.
1. Equip pastoral leaders.
2. Launch new churches and new worship communities.
3. Inspire revitalization and innovation.
4. Expand Hispanic/Latino ministries
5. Grow the pipeline for future leaders
FUMC Canyon is a big part of this strategic plan. We are already actively
addressing each of these points as a church. I have been working with
new pastors and in the equipping phase. As you know we will be starting
our new Traditional service on August 27th and relaunching our Modern
service that Sunday as well in the Fellowship Hall. Further, we have at
least six people from our church that are enrolled in seminary for the fall
semester! Two of these, Lupe Acevedo and Ivan Ramirez, will help us as
a conference grow our Hispanic ministries. And we are partnering with the
Wesley Foundation at WT to grow the pipeline for future leaders through
the Wesley Academy.
I can’t tell you how exciting it is to be a part of such a vibrant church that
is intentionally living it’s calling to glorify God in worship, grow in likeness
of Jesus and give our lives in love of Jesus.
Keep praying for the church as we seek to expand our ministries to make
room for new people.
I look forward to seeing you on Sunday!
God Bless!
Rick Enns Sr. Pastor [email protected]

Hello Church Family! Summer is well on its way
and VBS has come and gone. We had a great
week! Our building was the campsite for 112 kids
and 30 leaders. The kids were energetic and the
leaders were AWESOME! I want to thank you for
your prayers, donations, and help. Programs like
VBS cannot happen without YOU!
The VBS kids learned this past week that Jesus is
the Light. They experienced feet washing and
physically giving their sins to God and pinning them
on a cross. Along with these heartfelt Jesus
moments, we played mosquito tag and ate s’mores.
We have a few weeks of down time! ENJOY!

Thank You Notes
To our Church family,
During times of loss of a family member, it is very
hard, as many of you know. We want to thank each
of you for the prayers, the food, the cards, your
presence at Mom’s funeral, and the countless other
things done by you for us during this time. We
celebrate Nila’s life and we are so blessed she was
a part of our lives. We know she blessed many of
you, too. She was a very special lady! She will be
missed by her family and friends. We are sure of
that! You all were truly “The Church” to us during
this difficult time. Thank you from the bottom of our
hearts!
The Gerry Nickell family
We want you to know how loved you have made us feel with your prayers, hugs, calls, flowers, cards, visits and food regarding the loss of our sweet and special granddaughter Kylie Hiner. Thank you so much for your love and kindness,
Ron & Deloris Hiner
FUMC Family, Thank you for your kindness and hospitality as we came home to celebrate the life of Loveta. The time she spent on staff there was a blessing to her. Blessings,
LeeAnn Love
SOS Mission Trip Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are
young. Be an example to all believers in what you say,
in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your
purity. 1 Timothy 4:12
Hello Church Family,
Recently, I had the privilege of witnessing this scripture
being fulfilled on our youth mission trip to Service Over
Self in Memphis, TN. It was amazing to watch your
students serve not only the Binghampton community,
but each other as well! I witnessed junior high students
showing compassion to those dealing with poverty, I
saw high school students using their influence to grow
others in their faith. I sat and listened as student after
student boldly testified about how God had changed
them while in Memphis! FUMC you should be very
proud of your students, I know I am!!!
Chase the Lion,
Charlie Keys

Matter of Balance
Matter of Balance is an evidence based program that reduces the fear of falling and helps seniors increase activity levels. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the following facts have been reported: One in 3 adults age 65 and older falls each year. The chances of falling and of being seriously injured in fall increase
with age.
Matter of Balance is sponsored by the Area Agency on Aging. Each class is approximately 1 1/2 hours in length for an 8 week period. There is no cost for the class. The class will be offered in September. If you would like more information you can contact
Becky Harp at 806-341-5758.

VBS—2017
Since it is almost July, that
means that Operation
Christmas Child Collection
Week is only 5 months
away. The process has
started in covering shoe
boxes and I know that some of you have started
to collect the “treasures” that will go into the box
or boxes that you will put together for under privi-
leged children in the third world countries as here
in the U.S.
There will changes in the list of items that will go
into the box: no more candy or sweets of any
kind, no more toothpaste and the amount of
money to help with the shipping has been in-
creased to $9.
Mark your calendars—the week before Thanks-
giving there will be a packing party here at the
church. If you are not able to pack a box or two
but would enjoy buying items such as crayon,
coloring books, hair clips, school supplies, etc. we
would love for you to begin collecting those items
and donate them.
Please call Janice Cranmer if you have any ques-
tions or have shoeboxes or ‘treasures’ to donate
806-655-7033.
