Glorify the Lord with me;

let us exalt his name together.

Psalm 34: 3

A Wesleyan Way of Living:

It is the work of God alone to justify, to sanctify, and to glorify.

John Wesley

Quote of the day

“The person who fears God seeks to live all of life to the glory of God… All the activities of life should be pursued with the aim of glorifying God.”

Good Morning Cross Lanes folks!

It's Mid-Week Check In day.

And for us in the United Methodist Churc, it's more importantly Charge Conference day!

I love Charge Conference!

Now I'll be real with you. I don't love the paperwork and the meetings and the laboring to get everything ready in time.

The administrative stuff is my least favorite part of it all.

But what I do love is the celebration!

I love celebrating a years worth of mission and ministry. I love celebrating all of the people who have served faithfully and made a difference in others lives! I love celebrating baptisms and membership!

And most of all, I love that we get to celebrate all of this together and in Jesus's name! We have done all of this for Jesus! It has all been worth it because of Jesus!

So I want to encourage you to come to Charge Conference this evening at St Paul UMC in Nitro at 5:30pm. Let's celebrate together!

I hope to see you all there!

Many Blessings!
