United Methodist Men Meeting - This Sunday, August 18

This Sunday the anthem will be "Hallelujah", arranged by Mareike Davis, and played by Lori Kolbenschlag.
Mareike Davis, a native Arizonan, has been playing handbells since before 2005. Her interest in solo ringing in 2014 prompted her to try her hand at arranging for handbells.
In January 2017, she published her first self-arranged solo, Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah", and has been steadily adding to her published library of arrangements since then, expanding into the ensemble domain for up to 5 octaves between levels 2 and 4+. In late 2017, she also published her first original composition, "A Lenten Journey".
While she pursued a Master's degree in Norway from 2016 to 2018, she also established the Trondheim Handbell Ensemble, one of only three handbell choirs in all of Norway, and acted as its music director during that time.

Dear Church Family,
We are so blessed to have such a strong church family. We love gathering for worship, Bible Study, suppers, and missions together. Thank you for being part of our church.
The church council gathered Monday night. Two big agenda items were voted on and we wanted to keep you informed.
First, our church is extremely friendly and welcoming. We wanted to make a statement to help continue to drive our church to be welcoming to all. We are all God’s children.
We want every person who enters our doors to know they are beloved children of God.
Below is our statement and vision art.
Secondly, the Church Council reviewed the information about worship and Sunday school times. Church Council felt that it would be best to continue reviewing the schedule and discern the best decision in October. A committee has been formed with Jean Cotton as chair. We will share all the names of the committee once the committee has been formed. They will make a recommendation to Church Council in October.
Our worship schedule and Sunday school will remain the same at least until the end of October. If Church Council makes the decision to change service times, a mass communication plan will happen so everyone is informed. Thank you to everyone for your patience and prayer as we discern what is best for our church.
We hope to see you at Church on Sunday mornings!
Grace and Peace,
Ashley Jenkins, Pastor
Doug Kolbenschlag, Church Council Chair
