Worship for August 30, 20090

We had a great Ice Cream fellowship on Sunday night. A good crowd was present the the North Star band was super!

This Sunday we will conclude our series from Ephesians. Pastor Arlin will preach on the topic: "How to Walk in Faith". The scripture is: Ephesians 6:21-24. This should bring everything to a conclusion as we look to the next month.

In September we will have a series: "Wisdom from the Proverbs." Here are the topics for the month:

Sept. 6 - "The Generous Are Blessed." Prov. 22:1-2, 8-9, 22-23. Pastor Larry Preaching.
Sept. 13 - "Being Wise." Proverbs 1:7, 2:6, 4:7, and 3:5-6. Pastor Arlin preaching.
Sept. 20 - "An Old Fashioned Woman." Proverbs 31:10-31. Pastor Larry Preaching.
Sept. 27 - "We Perish Without Vision." Proverbs 29:18. Pastor Arlin Preaching.

See you on Sunday.

Happy Things Happening at Paradise Sunday

We will continue the series this week at Paradise which is titled: "Some How To's From Ephesians." Pastor Larry will preach on the text of Ephesians 6:10-20 in a sermon titled "How To Dress." Please read the scripture several times and be in prayer before you arrive at church.

From 4 to 7 pm we will have home made ice cream and cake. We need to invite a lot of people to join us for this good time of fellowship. The Praise Band from North Star United Methodist Church will provide entertainment.

There is no charge for the ice cream and cake but we will be happy to receive donations which will go to the "Meals on Wheels" ministry.

See ya there.

Ephesians series continues on August 16

We have had two sermons from Ephesians this month. This week Pastor Arlin will preach from Ephesians 5:15-20 in his sermon "How to Walk in Wisdom." As we always say, please read the scripture several times this week and pray about it.

We had new persons present last week and that is exciting news. Now is a good time to bring someone with you who does not attend church. With school getting started people are closing their summer schedule and are getting back into the fall routine.

Exciting Times in August.

As summer begins to move on and school gets started soon, we have continued excitement at Paradise UMC.

Our mission project for the month is facial tissue. I wonder how many boxes we can collect?

Ice Cream Social - August 23 from 4-7. A free will offering for Meals on Wheels will be received. We will have special intertainment by Light Quest (the Praise band from North Star United Methodist Church.)

Services for august 9, 2009

Pastor Arlin started our month of sermons from Ephesians. He preached about "How to Walk in Unity." On August 9th, Pastor Larry will preach on "How to Handle Anger." This will be based on Ephesians 4:25-5:2. Read it over a few times. There is a lot of good advice in it. There is so much anger in the world today from road rage to angry politics. People shout at people and their blood pressure increases.

Anger, like money, is not a bad thing. The whole question is about how to handle the anger. We hope this sermon will be helpful to all of us because we all will be angry several times this week.

As always, we urge you to invite friends and family members who do not attend church anywhere. We have such a friendly church that they will surely feel at home and want to come back.
