Watch the Senoia UMC
11:00 Service
|
|
The mission of the Church is to make disciples of Jesus Christ
for the transformation of the world.
|
|
|
|
The Handbell group, the Carillon Choir, is thrilled to be sharing the new hand chimes in worship for the first time this Sunday at the 11:00 service. There will also be a Blessing of the Bells.
We would like to thank the congregation for your wonderful support in helping us purchase the chimes.
This Sunday we are using only the chimes
but in the future they will be used in combination with the bells as well as rung alone. The chimes are a very different, more mellow sound - we hope you enjoy listening to them as much as we enjoy playing.

September's Read It & Reap
|
Head's up, the September book for Read It & Reap will be
Hillbilly Elegy, by J.D. Vance.
This book is
about the Appalachian values of his Kentucky family and their relation to the social problems of his hometown of Middletown, Ohio,
where his mother's parents moved when they were young.
Vance was raised in Middletown, Ohio, though his ancestors were from Breathitt County, Kentucky. Their Appalachian values include traits like loyalty and love of country despite social issues including violence and verbal abuse. He recounts his grandparents' alcoholism and abuse, and his unstable mother's history of drug addictions and failed relationships. Vance's grandparents eventually reconciled and became his de facto guardians. He was pushed by his tough but loving grandmother, such that Vance was able to leave Middletown and ascend social ladders to attend Ohio State University and Yale Law School

Get Them Talking is a series of monthly resources to help families lead conversations about issues of faith during dinner, devotions, a drive or anytime. We will publish a new
Get Them Talking the fourth Thursday of the month.
Scripture
“Whatever you do, do it from the heart for the Lord and not for people.” Colossians 3:23,
Common English Bible
Reflection
Sometimes we are asked to do things we don’t want to do. It could be math homework, traveling for work or practicing a musical instrument. When that happens, it is tempting to just do the minimum so we can be done quickly and get back to something more enjoyable. The Bible tells us, however, that we should always do our best, as if we were doing it for God.
We should try our best, even when we are doing things we would rather not do. We may still make mistakes, but we will do better when we try our hardest.
Get them talking
What is something you have to do that you would rather not do?
If you worked at that unpleasant task as if you were doing it for God, how would that change what you do?
What is one trick you use to help make difficult tasks more enjoyable?
How can we help each other get things done?
Prayer
Dear God, teach me to do everything as if I’m doing it for you. Amen.
Activity
Take on a big project together. Consider finding a place where you can serve as a family or group of friends.
UMVIM is a great place to start or join our very own
Christians In Action Team. Or maybe there's a storage area in your home that needs to be cleaned out, a room that needs to be painted. Work together and do it as if you’re doing it for God.
