MESSAGE FROM RICKY
Dear friends,
This coming Sunday, June 4, will be my final time to preach as the Senior Pastor of First United Methodist Church of Clinton. It has been my honor to serve as your pastor during these past four years. In the sermon I'll share some reflections on these past years and my hopeful prayer for the future of this historic congregation.
We will also gather around the Lord's Table (and sing!), sharing in the promise of this foretaste of heaven.
Remember, this is not an ending, but simply a transition to what God has in store next for the people called Methodist here in Clinton. And I will be praying and cheering for you loudly!
Also this Sunday, I want to invite you to participate in a communion offering in support of the Suzanne Elaine Shaw Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship fund was established June 5, 1988 in memory of Suzanne Elaine Shaw. Begun at Epworth United Methodist Church, the scholarship was transferred to First United Methodist Clinton in 2010. Recipients of the scholarship must be students pursuing a degree either in the medical profession or a full time Christian vocation. I do hope you take the opportunity to participate in this investment in the lives of our students.
See you Sunday!
Ricky
