FAVORITE HYMN(S)
The General Board of Discipleship (GBOD) invites every United Methodist to participate in a survey of favorite and least favorite hymns. This survey allows you to click on up to ten of your favorites and ten of your least favorite hymns and songs from The United Methodist Hymnal and The Faith We Sing. There are also five demographic questions to help GBOD analyze the results. All responses are anonymous and confidential. This information will help GBOD in planning future resources in congregational singing. You may find it helpful to compose a list of your selections prior to completing the survey. To take the survey, go to www.gbod.org/favoritehymns.html

FROM THE PASTOR
If you were unable to attend our church picnic here are some of things you missed; Fried Chicken, ham, beans, mac & cheese, chicken & rice, desserts of all sorts, even award winning desserts. Just ask Luke Bledsoe, Craig Wallace, Ken Bielak, and Tommy Edwards for their award winning recipes. We also learned the name of the big fish that swallowed Jonah. It was Earnest. Our Balloonist/Entertainer reminded us that the scripture says that Jonah knelt in earnest to pray. There were fish being pulled out of the water and kids running into the water. Laughter was the rule of the evening especially if you were watching those of us trying to play football. All in all we had a wonderful afternoon and evening of fun and fellowship. The foundation for this kind of fellowship is built when we worship together. Let’s gather this Sunday in the Sanctuary for a little foundational work as we worship the Risen Lord. See you in church.
Mike
AND THE WINNER IS . . .
Those folks awarded the title of “Best Dessert” at the church-wide picnic in the different categories were:
Luke Bledsoe, Children Craig Wallace, Youth Ken Bielak, Men I Tommy Edwards, Men II
