Dear Shawnee UMC Family,


Please join us for worship

this Sunday


in-person or on Facebook Live at 10:30am.


The Scripture for Pastor Changsu's sermon is:


2 Timothy 2:20-21


20 In a large house there are utensils not only of gold and silver but also of wood and clay, some for special use, some for ordinary. 21 All who cleanse themselves of the things I have mentioned will become special utensils, dedicated and useful to the owner of the house, ready for every good work.


WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU IN WORSHIP

THIS SUNDAY!

The Tuesday Lectionary Group invites you to share some of your favorite scriptures, which we will then share with all members.


Please email them to:

Here are this week's scriptures for study and meditation:


Psalm 46:4-7 There is a river whose streams gladden God's city, the holiest dwelling ot the most high. God is in that city. It will never crumble. God will help it when the morning dawns. Nations roar; kingdoms crumble. God utters his voice; the earth melts. The Lord of heavenly forces is with us! The God of Jacob is our place of safety.

Revelation 8:8-10 Then the second angel blew his trumpet and something like a huge mountain burning with fire was thrown down into the sea. A third of the sea became blood, a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed. Then the third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star, burning like a torch, fell from heaven. It fell on a third of the rivers and springs of water. The star's name is Wormwood, and a third of the waters became wormwood, and many people died from the water, because it became so bitter.

Micah 2:12-13 I'll surely gather Jacob--all of you! I'll surely assemble you, those who are left of Israel! I'll put them together like sheep in Bozrah, like a flock in its pen, noisy with people. The one who breaks out will go before them; they will break out and pass through the gate; they will leave by it. They will pass on, their king before them, the Lord at their head.

Luke 10:17-20 The seventy-two returned joyously, saying, "Lord, even the demons submit themselves to us in your name." Jesus replied, "I saw Satan fall from heaven like lightning. Look, I have given you authority to crush snakes and scorpions underfoot. I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will harm you. Nevertheless, don't rejoice because the spirits submit to you. Rejoice instead because your names are written in heaven."

The event is scheduled for October 30th, to run 3pm-5pm with volunteer options available before, during, and after the event. If signing up to decorate a trunk, please plan to arrive early and have your trunk decorated by 2:30. Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Early Birds will be hosting on November 19th at 9:30AM a no-sew fleece throw get together to make fleece blankets for elementary age children to be included in the Christmas store at Crosslines and/or

Shawnee Community Center. 


Each blanket will need 1 1/2 yards of fleece. Please bring scissors and ruler to the event to fringe the blankets. When choosing the fleece, look at patterns that would appeal to children. If anyone feels they cannot participate but would like to donate fleece or money, we would be glad to receive these gifts. An FYI, watch store sales on fleece as it is the season for it to be on sale.


We are also asking the congregation to donate books that would appeal to elementary children to go with the fleece blankets. What better way to read a book than bundled up in a nice warm blanket!  


Any questions, please contact Vickie Hammons or Ophelia Behee.
