Rincon United Methodist Church 107 Savannah Avenue, Rincon, GA 31326 (Web Site) www.rinconumc.org (E-Mail) [email protected]912-826-5796 Loving God Loving People Growing Together Moving Forward Faith Connections August 2019 I hope that you are receiving as much blessings from our church family praying together through the Book of Acts as I am. As I am utilizing Dr. Teykl’s Book, Acts 29: Fifty Days to Invite the Holy Spirit, in my own prayer times my eyes are being opened to specific areas in our church family life and in our community for which we should be praying and specific people in our community for whom to pray. Whether you started on Pentecost Sunday or sometime later, whether you have been able to pray everyday or have missed a few days, I am thankful that we are on this journey of prayer together. I look forward to what God is going to continue to do in our church family and community as we continue to be united in prayer and free the Holy Spirit to do marvelous things here. You have probably noticed that a new accessibility ramp is being added to the front of the fellowship hall. This project is able to be completed through the generosity of our church family in giving to this special need. You may not know that there are two other projects that the trustees have in the fund raising stage. The first is the addition of screens to our worship space. Since video is so much a part of what we do now, the addition of permanently mounted screens into our worship space is becoming a real need. Vacation Bible School, mission reports, even funerals utilize video as part of the service. I don’t have the exact figures in front of me, but we have approximately have 38% of the $8,000 needed to complete this project already donated. The second is remodeling the kitchen in the parsonage. Our family is very thankful to the trustees for planning this remodel and to all who give to help make it happen. This project will cost approximately $15,000 and we have already on hand approximately $3,500 toward this goal. More details will be coming in the bulletin and next month’s newsletter on these projects. Even though as I write this article it is the middle of July, Fall will be here before we know it. I know that you are looking forward with me to resuming our Wednesday Night Suppers and our study that goes along with the suppers. As of right now we do not have fundraiser suppers planned which means we will be reverting the schedule of two suppers each month (1st and 3rd Wednesday). If you would like to host a supper as a fundraiser or just help us gather more than twice a month please speak with Ty to get on the schedule. I am in the process of choosing what we will be studying and should have a decision in the next couple of weeks. Look for information in your bulletin. Finally, let me tell you again that I love you and I love being your pastor! It is pure joy for me to see members of our church family working together to do so much good. Whether it is sewing clothes for Bobby Gale to take to children in Africa, or prepping and pouring a new accessibility ramp for the fellowship hall, sewing quilts for children at Vashti, organizing and participating in our second Oconee Outreach Opportunity Effingham, Vacation Bible School, the youth trip to Orlando, Happy Hearts, or any of another of other things we are doing together, my heart swells with the love that fills our church family. This is why I am so excited for all that God has in store for us as we are Loving God, Loving People, Growing Together and Moving Forward to God’s glory .
