Church News:
Wesley Ray UMC:
*On May 6th, the United Methodist Men Club treated the ladies to dinner, in honor of Mother’s Day. This is an endearing annual occasion. I enjoyed the fellowship and all present seemed to also. Many thanks to the men of the church for such a pleasant evening.
Live OakUMC:
*Pastor August preached from John 14 and reminded those of us present that Jesus said “Don’t Be Troubled”. He shared that because Jesus is “The Way”, “The Truth” and “The Life”, we don’t have to be troubled by our circumstances, if we Trust Jesus.
New Beginning Ministries:
*Pastor Spikes’ sermon was from Genesis 15:1-6 and was entitled: “A Word From God”. He shared that when we hear a word from God things change, if we Trust God and remember that God is saying that we should “Fear Not!”
