I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

Philippians 4:13

A Wesleyan Way of Living:

"Do you know why that cow looks over that wall? She looks over the wall because she cannot see through it, and that is what you must do with your troubles... Look over and above them.

John Wesley

Quote of the Day

When a man has no strength, if he leans on God, he becomes powerful.”

D.L. Moody, American Evangelist

Good Morning, I will be leading a team tomorrow from 10 AM to 4 PM in Charleston. More details will be sent out late this afternoon. Sarah Wilmoth will be leading a team on Saturday. We will possibly have a team leader for Friday as well. In the meantime, I need you to confirm ASAP if you can work tomorrow in Charleston. Let me know also if you are able to work Saturday. Please do not respond to say you cannot work, only if you can. NOTE: you can also bring up to 2 other non-ERT's whom you would be responsible for. Make sure they are 18 and over and wear closed toe shoes.

Some of you have mentioned that you are unable to do the physical labor required in some disaster responses. This is an awesome opportunity for you to serve in a different kind of capacity. This training will help you learn how to help others to ensure that the most vulnerable of our neighbors get assistance when a crisis occurs.

Let me know if you have any questions. Notice that this training is absolutely free.

Tomorrow Wednesday August 19th- @ Noon

These classes will be 2 hours long and will cover the basics of United Methodist membership vows as well as discussion about what it means to be a Wesleyan Christian, baptism, communion and more!

If you are thinking about joining Cross Lanes United Methodist Church, then this is the class for you!

If you are thinking about transferring from another church, United Methodist or other denomination, this is the class for you!

If you have been a member of Cross Lanes UMC for a while and want to brush up on all things United Methodist, this is also the class for you.

I have done several of these classes over the years and they have always proven to be wonderful experiences in which all involved learned and grew closer to each other.

I hope you will consider joining me and others for this opportunity to learn and consider your membership here at Cross Lanes United Methodist Church!
