Happy May Day!!

Drive-In Style Worship starting THIS Sunday,
May 3rd 10:15am All are invited!!
Make your way down Miami St to the alleyway across from the Post Office and turn down. As you drive
up the ally you’ll be greeted near the entrance of the lower parking lot by ushers who will be distributing bulletins, worship packets for
children, and communion elements.
As you come into the lot, our parking attendants will guide you to your spot. Please be vigilant and
follow directions closely. Once you have parked, please engage your parking brake and turn off your engine. (Your specific vehicle may require the key to remain in the accessories position for the radio to work. See your owner’s manual for details.) Please remember that once you have parked, you may be blocked in for the reminder of the service. Feel free to roll down your driver side windows, please only crack the passenger side windows. Tune your radio to the frequency indicated on the bulletin.
Enjoy the pre-service music starting about 10 am and prepare your heart for worship.

If it is storming Sunday morning, we will not have drive-in worship, please plan to connect with us via Facebook Live! However if it is raining or sprinkling we still plan to have it as planned.

Online Worship via Facebook Live will still be available on Sunday May 3rd at 10:15am
An opportunity for worship with music, prayer, and hearing from God's Word will be made available Sunday morning.
We invite you to participate through that if you decide not to participate in Drive-In Worship, if you are not on Facebook you can still access that via the Internet by going to www.facebook.com/WaynesvilleUMC even if Facebook asks you to create an account you can scroll down the page and see everything without one.


Stay tuned to the E-news, Facebook, Church website, and WHIO-tv for confirmation each week.
Worship As Generosity Continues One of the ways God's people have always worshipped is by giving. Whether it is the sacrifice on the altar or the sacrifice of a financial gift, God's people have always been givers. THANK YOU!
Several continue to mail a gift or give electronically, your continued generosity makes it possible for us to be present within our community during these difficult times and to prepare for a bright future.
During this time when we may be unable to worship corporately, we can still give worshipfully. You can mail your offering to the church at PO Box 634 Waynesville, OH 45068 , during office hours you can drop off offerings in sealed envelopes, or you can give online at a website https://waynesvilleumc.org/giving/


Stimulus Offering
As you consider where you might put your stimulus money to work, please give thought to the ministries of Waynesville UMC. With corporate worship in the sanctuary on hold, now is the perfect time to do much needed repairs that would keep us out of the sanctuary anyway. If you are able to give, please memo your offering towards the Building Fund.

About What Makes You Happy? from RightNow Media:
Everybody wants to be happy. Everybody is on a happiness quest. For many, happiness is measured in moments. Experiences. It's elusive. Unsustainable.

What about you? What makes you happy? Not sure? Andy is. In this remarkable 6-part study, he reveals what makes you happy. He explores the three things all happy people have in common. Then he goes on to describe how these three things can be realities for you as well. So get ready. You are about to discover what makes you happy.
Opportunities for worship, growth, and ministry

Lord's Prayer Daily at 10:15a To join together in prayer over the next several days, set a reminder to bow your head at 10:15 each morning. If you are with others, invite them to join you.

Video Updates and Devotionals As we are moving into a new phase with Drive-In Worship, we will not be posting daily videos. Videos will continue to be posted on a regular basis, and we look for short devotionals and greetings from members to share. Like and follow our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/WaynesvilleUMC/ to stay connected. Again you can watch the videos without joining Facebook.

If you are able to record a short devotional, please send those in to Pastor Jason and they will be included for future daily videos during the COVID-19 outbreak.
