Hey! Good morning to all our Dacusville United Methodist Church friends and family. I just wanted to come here and give you my monthly overview. You know we’re coming out of a super busy and wonderful September.
I just wanted to thank everyone who participated in our music and other fundraising events for our Youth missions and ministries. The Youth are very excited to be going to upcoming events, one here later in the fall in Asbury Hills called Immerse, and then in the early winter months of January they will be going down to Revolution in Columbia. Both of those are outstanding events for our youth to go and strengthen their faith and grow together.
As we begin moving into the month of October, coming up this weekend, here on the 9th and 10th from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm is our Rummage Sale hosted by the United Women of Faith. You can come on out and find some treasures in that and then also there will be hot dog plates for sale and baked goods that have been wonderfully created by our women that you can pick up and take home with you.
And then as we move forward into the remaining fall season, something very exciting I want to be sure you’re aware of is that each Sunday at 12:30 we’re having a lunch. It’s open to anyone who would like to come and have lunch and fellowship with us. If you could, just send us an email or text to let us know about how many people would be attending so we could be prepared for the food. The lunch is at 12:30 and, immediately following lunch, we’ll be dividing up into two small group sessions.
For the youth or older adults and children who can easily read, we’re doing how to study the Bible. I mean, who doesn’t need some new pointers on how to better study God’s Word?
For the younger children, we’re doing Bible story basics. Going back through all the old stories of the Bible that are so important for the foundations of our faith.
Then, on the 24th, we have our amazing Fall Festival coming up. We will have trunk ‘r’ treat with cars lined up and decorated. We encourage anyone who would like to come and bring their car and park it out here on our property and participate in our trunk ‘r’ treat, you’re welcome to do so. Just again send us an email to the church email so we will know to expect you and save you a place.
There is going to be food like walking tacos and desserts and there is going to be cake walks where you can take home a prize item from our wonderful bakers here at the church. There will be games for the children to participate in. There will be a photo booth set up where we can snap pictures of the best little witches and pumpkins and whatever else. And we’ll have a prize fo the best costume as well. So come and join us on the 24th for that at 4:30-7:00 pm.
Then on the 25th we have a very special Worship Sunday where we have special music being performed and the Kairos Prison ministry teams from both the men’s weekend at Perry Correctional and the women’s weekend at Leath Correctional will be giving their report of the amazing things that God did during those four day weekends at those institutions.
Looking a little further out, on November 7th, we will have a United Methodist Conference Emergency Response Team training here at Dacusville. It’s open to anyone who would like to know how to participate in that emergency response should another disaster befall our area. There will be a link on our website where you can go and sign up and register. The cost is $30 for the training and $12 I believe for a background check that’s required. There will be snacks and lunch provided during the day by our ladies for that event as well.
On November 12th, we have another special guest speaking coming in. I encourage you all to come and hear the incredible story of God changing a life by Jimmy McPhee. He will be participating in our Worship service here at 11:15 am on that Sunday.
God’s blessing to you all and thank you for your continued support,
PB
