We had such a wonderful Sunday morning at Sidney First United Methodist Church!
We enjoyed two great services, at 8:00 a.m. and at 10:00 a.m.
Highlights of the 10:00 a.m. service are as follows.
- Bea Dinkel made a very special presentation to Ms. Martha Walker. The local church's United Methodist Women (UMW) unit recognized her at this weekend's Great West District UMW's annual meeting. A "dedicated light" was lit in her honor, for all that she has contributed to the life of the church.
- Seth McMillen and his mother chose a special prayer shawl for Mullen, an 8-year-old boy in Lodgepole who is struggling with health issues. Seth picked out the shawl because it has Cornhusker football team colors in it, and he thought that Mullen would like that particular shawl. All our prayers go to Mullen and his family at this difficult time.
- Bill Walters was recognized for his many contributions to the care and maintenance of the church and its grounds. His efforts, in particular this last year, helped the church experience significant savings. When one thinks of "faith in action," one has to think of Bill Walters and all that he has done and is doing for the church.
- The choir sang beautifully, as always!
In between services, the third floor of the church was rocking!
- Pastor Charles led confirmation class; they discussed the meaning of communion.
- Bob Long and Elizabeth Draper were busy teaching their Sunday school classes.
- Janet Rosenbaum and the youth group were hopping... or should we say hula hooping?!
Pastor Charles conducted the final session of the church newcomers orientation. This next Sunday, we will celebrate folks joining the church, the youth presentation on their summer mission trip, and we will enjoy a potluck after the 10:00 a.m. service. Come hungry, y'all!
