Lattice Tree
to Collect School Supplies for I-58 Mission
|
Be sure to visit the Lattice Tree. This tree has cards on it with the names of various school supplies needed for the I-58 Mission.
I-58 Mission is helping prepare children for the new school year which starts at the beginning of August. You are asked to take a card off the tree, purchase the listed supplies and
return them to the church by July 17th
. Giving these supplies helps the students go to school prepared and it also helps the teachers so that they don’t have to purchase the supplies themselves.
I-58 Mission is a local charity serving those in our community.

Our Wednesday Night Suppers will be starting back up on Wednesday, August 14.
We’re making plans Tuesday, July 23 at 11am in the Fellowship Hall.
If you have any interest in finding out more information about ways you could be involved with our fellowship meals, give Barb Combs a shout-out. There are lots of ways to help including helping set up around 5:00 on Wednesdays, making desserts for catered night meals, collecting money at the door, and even (gasp!!) cooking.
We currently have two cooking teams of 3-4 people on each team and always welcome extra cooks. If we have enough people interested, we could have a third cooking team. So, all you people with excellent culinary skills, we expect to hear from you! This is an excellent way to get to know others in our church in a very casual setting and have fun and fellowship in the process!

Read It & Reap
This Book Club is
For YOU!
|
|
|
Calling all readers!!!
One of our small connection groups here at Senoia UMC is a book club, called Read It & Reap. We meet one night a month, on the 3
rd
Monday in the JOY Room at 7:00.
We will meet in July on the 15th
and would love to have you join us!
The books we’ve read to date have been about a variety of social issues in both our current lives and times of old, such as orphans being sold into slavery in the 1920’s; the orphanage train that moved parent-less immigrant children from state to state to find new homes for them;
To Kill a Mockingbird
about the slavery issue in the south; the first ever U.S. male rowing team that won an Olympic medal. We also read
The Invention of Wings
by Sue Monk Kidd and
Can’t Wait to Get to Heaven
by Fannie Flagg.
If there is a book you have been wanting to read and share discussion with, give me a call and we can make that happen!
For July we are reading
Just Mercy
by Bryan Stevenson, who is an attorney from Atlanta that works in Georgia and Alabama with death row inmates to ensure that they have proper representation. In August we’re going to read Christine Taylor’s
The Devil Came Down to Chinatown
:
The True Story of the Church's Rescue of Brothel Slaves in Old Francisco,
about young Chinese women who sailed to America’s West Coast.in the late 1800’s, were forced into prostitution, and the courageous Christian women who risked everything to help free San Francisco’s brothel slaves.
I hope to either hear from you with questions or see you on the 15
th
!!

We are pleased to have Dr. John Beyers come and meet with us on
Sunday evening, July 21, 2019
, for some Methodist 101 time. Dr. Beyers is the senior pastor at LaGrange First UMC and is a well-known speaker and teacher on all subjects Methodist.
To say that he is very passionate about the United Methodist church might be an understatement! If there is anything you would like to know about our United Methodist church or have a question about, this is your time to come and get the answer. Mark your calendars now and plan to attend as we welcome Dr. Beyers to Senoia UMC.
