What a joy it was to worship this

morning. Loved the service, excited about

It was great! There must have been a

transition work so well. Thanks to all of
you.
I had conversations for the first time today,
with people that have been attending for
years. We had six new people in our
Sunday School class. Everyone was very
excited about the change. I did not hear one
negative word - only very positive
comments.
I thought the service went very well,
congrats to the church staff and everyone
who was a part. It was so good to see the
church almost full!!!!!
I felt the excitement and saw people I
haven’t seen in a long time!!! If I was a
visitor in the sanctuary, I would have
thought: Wow! This place must be a
wonderful place to worship because look
how many people are here!!! I think God
was pleased!!! I know I felt very blessed!!!
God is doing a new thing in our congregation. I
could feel the excitement in the air when we met

As pastor, I can’t begin to tell you how this thrills my heart. Although I am saddened that our
new service time will not work out for everyone, I am hopeful that our renewed excitement will
not wane, but will lead to even greater heights of worship which, in turn, will attract new peo-
ple to our church. I am thankful for all of you who worked so hard to make this transition as
easy as possible. There are still some wrinkles we will need to work out, but I think we are on
the way to deeper blessing. It is my joy to serve alongside of you.
PARENTS: Are you finding it hard to plan a night out, or…. a night in with your kids out? If your
answer is yes, then we have just the thing for you!
The Methodist youth group, Quake, holds a Parents’ Night Out about once a month during the school year.
Here are the details:
Location: First United Methodist Church
Time: Saturdays from 4:00-8:00pm ****Note the day and time changes.
You are welcome to pick your children up at any time during the night.
Cost: $20 for one child and $5 for each additional child in the family.
Dates: Feb 9, March 9, April 13, May 11
Where does the money go?: All money raised is put into a Missions fund account and used to pay for any trips or events that the youth participate in.
The children are divided into the following groups:
1) Infant - 3 year olds ~ These kids are in the nursery all night. We have 1 adult with 1 or 2 youth, depending on how many kids we have signed up for the night.
2) Preschool ~ These kids are in one of the preschool rooms upstairs from 4-6:00 playing with the kitchen toys, coloring, puzzles, maybe doing a craft, and having a light meal. At 6:00 they come down to the gym and pretty much just run around and scream J or play group games. At 8:00 they join the school age group in the cafe for a snack and to watch a movie until parent pick up time at 8:00. Depending on the size of the group, we will have 1 adult with 2-4 youth.
3) School Age ~ These kids are in the gym and cafe from 4-6:00. We have games and crafts for them to do in the cafe, and they do their own thing in the gym, which is what I like to call controlled chaos :) Most of the kids are running around for the whole 2 hours. At 6:00 they will go into the café for a light meal and then at 6:30 we start the movie. We have 1 or 2 adults with 4 or 5 youth, de-pending on how many families have signed up for the night.
If this sounds like something you would like to take advantage of, just complete the registration on the back of this page and turn it into the church office. Please contact Kendra Ingle at 937-707-8022 or email her at [email protected] with any questions.
In order to have the appropriate number of volunteers to watch the kids, and because space is limited, you MUST be signed up 48 hours BEFORE the night
Parents: You can leave your little ones (6 months to 6th grade) at church while you go out for a night on the town.
We will provide age appropriate games, videos, snacks, and crafts. Monies will help the youth fund their youth mis-sion trips.
