We are a welcoming family of GOD. Committed to becoming more and more like Jesus Christ. Together we are growing in faith, knowledge, and love of GOD.
Our own Carol Osgood offered a powerful prelude to our Tuesday worship with Holy Communion this morning. Pastor Bill shared a short message, "Fruit Salad," and Pastor Tim Hare led the Great Thanksgiving. It was a special time of worship and fellowship with the folks of Masonicare at Wesley Village.

Peace, all."One day as a young wife and mother of 37 years of age, I was busy with my regular household tasks during a bright June morning [in 1872]. Suddenly, I became so filled with the sense of nearness to the Master that, wondering how one could live without Him, either in joy or pain, these words were ushered into my mind, the thought at once taking full possession of me -- 'I Need Thee Every Hour. . . .'" So said Annie Hawks about the inspiration for the hymn "I Need Thee Every Hour" (number 397 in The United Methodist Hymnal).![]()
