Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. ~ Galatians 6: 9
Hello Saints!
I hope this finds you well and safe and enjoying the many blessings of summer. I look and see my own schedule has been a little light as I have enjoyed some vacation time and renewal with the Lord.
As our scripture this month tells us, we are not to give up. Many times in the summer, we ease up or “take a break”, but God does not take a break. God does not give up (on us). The bible says he “neither slumber nor sleeps”, but instead is always walking beside us and paving the way before us.
I hope this summer that we will remember that. We are in the midst of visioning for our church and seeking God’s Will for the direction and focus of the Body of Christ here at Williamsport UMC. Please remain in prayer for our church, as we will not give up, but strive ahead to be found faithful in God’s sight. Please continue to volunteer for jobs in the church like greeters, ushers, and acolytes. This is the time when many will visit our church. Make sure you welcome them, because the bible says to welcome them is to welcome Christ himself.
The summer is also a season of preparation. We will be preparing events for the children, youth, and will launch some programming for our Young Adults. Friends, there are many exciting and lively things happening here at WUMC and we are asking for your help. Help Williamsport United Methodist Church become a tangible glimpse of the Kingdom of God. I encourage you to take this time when the other areas of life may be slowing down a bit, and take it UP a notch for the Lord Jesus Christ. Volunteer to help, saturate us with your prayers, give to the ministries and missions of our Church and most of all, be Christ’s witnesses in the world and let others see Christ in you, for “at the proper time we will reap a harvest for the Lord, if we do not give up”.
Catch the Excitement!
Witness the Joy!
Shape the Vision!
I Remain Your Servant in Christ,
Pastor Susan
