    HAPPY FATHERS DAY!

  • A Note From The Pastor Every time you cross my mind, I break out in exclamations of thanks to God. Each exclamation is a trigger to prayer. I find myself praying for you with a glad heart. I am so pleased that you have continued on in this with us, believing and proclaim-ing God's Message, from the day you heard it right up to the present. There has never been the slightest doubt in my mind that the God who started this great work in you would keep at it and bring it to a flourishing finish on the very day Christ Jesus appears.

    Philippians 1:3-6 (The Message) What an amazing year this has been! Whenever I think about all that we as a family and a church have been through, like Paul to the Philippians, I find my-self praying with a glad heart. In May we had a wonderful group of Confirm-ands join the church, we honored our graduating High School Seniors and Trent was Commissioned at Annual Conference. I am grateful to all of you who have made our first year in Nacogdoches such a good experience. I am also grateful for the ministry of this church. The scripture goes on to say how we trust in the God who has started a great work in you. That means were not finished, we still have work to do in our church, our community and in the world keep up the good work! There are lots of great things happening in June, see you in Church. Peace,

    A Note From The Associate Pastor

    It's the end of May which means that it is time for the Texas Annual Conference to meet once more. This meeting is the

    yearly gathering in which Methodist ministers and lay persons from all of East Texas gather together to make decisions

    about our Conference as a whole. At the Conference, new ministers are certified, licensed, commissioned, and ordained;

    we elect delegates and officers; we modify our policies and practices; and most importantly, we fellowship and worship to-

    gether. We take communion and pray over our leaders. Each night all who are gathered come together to sing, pray,

    dance, and proclaim God's word. At the core of it all, we declare that we are one church and one body. Even though we

    disagree and bicker over MANY things, we are here to worship the God who made us all. Our connection is real!

    I would challenge you this month (if you havent already) to take this connection seriously. Begin to pray for the Texas

    Conference and all of its various ministries and organizations. You can visit www.txcumc.org to find things to pray for (there

    are too many to list here).

    Over the next few weeks, there will be many decisions made that will affect the future of our church and every other

    church within our connection. Pray that God does a work in us and that we are lead by the Spirit in all that we do.

    Blessings,

    At the Texas Annual Conference, Rev. Trent Oliver will be commissioned a Provisional Elder for Ordained Ministry in the worship ser-vice on Tuesday, May 26th. All of the worship services during Annual Conference are inspirational, and all Methodists are welcomed to attend any and all of the worship services and general sessions of the Conference. For more information, visit www.txcumc.org.

    MISSION NEWS

    MISSION NAC - June 10-13 Mission NAC is a multi-church outreach ministry that seeks to help the needy in our community. They have scraped and painted, roofed, built porches and carports, replaced windows and trim, delivered furniture, mowed, gardened and landscaped for those who simply needed a hand-up. Last year alone over 250 people representing 5 churches joined together to work for four days in our community. Lives were changed as the love of Christ was spoken and demonstrated and so were over 12 homes! This year, we hope that you will take part in this wonderful event. It is a great opportunity for families and people of all ages to learn service and have fun while doing it. Registration closes at the end of May. The cost is $25 per participant (capping at $100 per family) to cover the cost of materials. Go to www.missionnac.com to learn more and get involved.

    I can Sunday, June 7th and July 5th for Friday Take-Home Bags

    Our church will partner with Love INC to help with the NISD Summer Meal Program, because hunger doesnt take a summer break. The program is funded by the Texas and U.S. Departments of Agriculture and feeds children ages 1 to 18, with no stipulations on who eats free summer meals. Approximately 1,400 students will receive balanced breakfast and lunch meals Monday through Friday. The program runs from Mon, June 15th through Fri, August 7th. Churches are asked to help by providing activities for the children gathered at the various sites. On Fridays, churches fill a paper bag of food to send home with each child for the weekend. We will be supplying 75 bags for children in Pioneer Park on these three Fridays of July 24, July 31, and August 7. We are asking for your help during June and July in supplying food items, or monetary contributions, for these bags. Checks for monetary contributions can be made out to FUMC with memo: summer meals. Suggested items: individual or small serving sizes of non-perishable foods (we will put 10-12 in each bag) Fruit cups, Easy Mac n Cheese pasta, Pop-tarts, Breakfast or ganola bars, Single-serve pasta and meats, small cereal boxes, cheese and crackers, vienna sausage, dried fruits, peanut butter and crackers, nuts, any healthy snacks or foods.

    UMW Circle VI needs your plastic bags by Sun, June 7th

    Circle VI Sisters are assisting another church by collecting plastic bags and preparing them to be sent to Haiti. They are

    folded and assembled in bundles to use in teaching the women there how to use scissors and to crochet the bags into

    mattresses. With that skill, the women can expand to crocheting clothing, bags, etc. Please bring your plastic bags of

    any size (Kroger, Walmart, Belks, etc.) on June 7th for their project that week. Thank you for your support.
