Life is still happening.
While many think that during a pandemic, the world has lost all of its hope and has been put to a standstill, one needs to turn off the TV from time to time and look around at what's happening. The Church is very much alive, God is very much still in control, and the family of God is still operating and as welcoming as ever. I've been privileged, during this pandemic, to witness and/or be a part of several weddings over the past few months. It's been an honor to see so many wonderful unions and the joining together of families in the presence of God. God's family is also continuing to grow, as we are in the midst of our delayed-Confirmation class on Sunday evenings. We've had a great group of young women who are ready to study and learn more about what it means to be a Christian and to be a part of the family of God. Along with some wonderful mentors, this class is scheduled to finish up in a few weeks with the hopes of soon celebrating with the congregation as we not only celebrate and/or remember their baptism, but as we confirm them in their faith. What a way to end the summer of 2020.
Jeremy Daniels, Associate Pastor
Director of Youth & Young Adult Ministries

Update on the Citywide Yard Sale
The City of Hurricane is still promoting Saturday, August 8, 2020, as the annual Citywide Yard Sale. Our parking lot spaces are available to the community at $10 per space. Spaces will not be assigned; the earliest people to show up on the 8th will get their pick of spaces. This rental is a fund raiser of the United Methodist Women.
The difference in this year's sale is that the building will be closed, and the UMW will not be serving food and beverages, a decision which was made due to the ongoing pandemic. Those who are interested in reserving one or more parking spaces should contact the church office (304-562-5903; office@forrestburdette.com).

Live Stream Tech Volunteers Needed
