 PASTOR'S MEMO, February 2, 2012

 

Good Morning Church:

 

This Sunday as the New York Giants play the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl there will be several things that will be happening. People will gather to watch a football game. People will gather to watch the commercials. And people will gather to eat. In fact, I think that eating may take precedent over the game. Unfortunately, there are many people in our country who do not have much to eat. That is why we will again be participating in the Souper Bowl of Caring. Here is how it works.... when you come to worship this Sunday, bring some canned goods-- we will give those to the Clay County Food Pantry. You can also bring a couple of dollars to drop in our soup caldrons so that we can make "green soup." That "soup" will be given to the Trinity Soup kitchen in Atlanta.

 

 

In other news:

 

We still need some fixins.... peanut butter, jelly, sandwich meat.... for the 1600 sandwiches we need to make for our trip to the Trinity Soup kitchen on February 12th. We also need some soup... 80 gallons of vegetable to take with us. If you can supply some of these items, you can drop them off at the church this week. Don't forget our Sandwich Making Extravaganza at 9am Saturday February 11th in the Gathering Place. If you are planning on making the trip to the Trinity Soup kitchen, please contact Myra O'Connor here at the church.

 

Coupons for Brothers at Willow Ranch are available!!! Here is how the coupons work...Go to Brothers in Young Harris on February 21st eat a scrumptious meal, pay your bill, present your coupon and they will give 20% of your bill to HFUMC youth missions. What a great way to enjoy a good meal and help our youth group. Coupons are ready for pick-up in the church office or you can print the coupon at the bottom of this page.

 

The Young Harris College Office of Religious Life is taking a group of students on a mission trip to the headquarters of Heifer Project International in Arkansas over spring break. If you would like to help fund that trip your gift may be given through HFUMC. Mark your gift YHC Mission Trip and we will pass your gift to them.

 

Gardeners, Hinton Rural Life center needs your help. If you would like to work at the Hinton community garden this year, give your name to Rufus Stark and he will add you name to a call list. You will be contacted when a need arises. Local farmer and Ledford Chapel UMC member Ermal Cheeks is heading up the garden this year. 

 

Following last week's discussion on sin and forgiveness, this week the confirmation class will be talking about redemption. Keep them in your prayers.

 

 

Be the face of Christ to someone.
