You should have received (or will receive) a letter in the mail this week talking about our upcoming Stewardship campaign, which starts this Sunday.
I am excited about this campaign as we will spend the month learning from our Bible Year scriptures and how they inspire our faith.
|
|
We will also be looking at the ministries we participate in that “Make a Splash” in our lives and cause ripple effects throughout our community. This upcoming Sunday we will be talking about Christian Education and its importance in our lives.
For many people, Christian Education is simply involved in ministry with young people, maybe a few classes, and buying Bibles. But on Sunday you will discover how much Christian Education is found in all facets of our church and lives. Pledging to the work of Memorial helps us continue to partner with you as you become a deeply rooted disciple as well as offer the same opportunity to our church and community.
This weekend, as you prepare for Worship on Sunday, I encourage you to notice how God is working in your life and to reflect on the impact of the ministries of Memorial in your life.
I’ll see you Sunday.

Midweek Challenge:
Pastor Charlie gives us the challenge this week to pray "God, what do you want to do through me" as we look ahead to the good works we'll do at and through Memorial in 2023. It's Stewardship season and now more than ever making a pledge, a promise, to Memorial's operating budget is so important.
|
This pledge gives our staff the ability to budget for the coming year. Without your pledge, your intention to give, the staff is guessing what the budget in 2023 will be. Take this week to consider what you want to see Memorial accomplish next year and how God can use your gifts to be a part of spreading the Good News! |

October is Clergy Appreciation Month!
The staff and committees at Memorial will be celebrating and thanking our three wonderful pastors all month long! If you are interested in sharing your thanks, perhaps you'd like to write them a note or send a card. And keeping them in your prayers is always welcome, too!
We are so thankful for the dedication, guidance, & love of our Pastors: Pastor Charlie, Pastor Carrie, and Pastor Alyce!
Read a little bit more about ways to participate, here.

Historical Presentation at Memorial THIS COMING MONDAY!
The Duncan Lamont Clinch Historical Society will hold its October meeting at Memorial, and the congregation is invited to attend! Join us Monday, October 10th at 7:00PM in the Sanctuary. This is a free opportunity to learn more about Memorial's history during our Bicentennial year!
After a brief Historical Society business meeting, church member Jim McCannell will narrate a slide presentation on the beginnings of the Methodist Church on Amelia Island - the first in Florida - and on notable events in Memorial's history.
Following the program, you'll be invited to the History Room, below the Sanctuary. We are excited to welcome the Historical Society, the community, and our own congregation to this event.

Women of Faith! Did you know that there's an opportunity right here at Memorial that's even named for YOU?
YES! The United Women of Faith is made up of groups of women in "Circles" who get together monthly for friendship, study, missions service, fun, and activities supporting and participating in the life of our church and community!
The Catherine Eleazar Circle is looking for a bunch of new members. Unofficially, we're the "Saturday Sunrise Circle" as we meet early on a Saturday morning once a month. During warmer months, we meet at the beach and during cooler months, we go to an indoor location. But what a spiritually enriching experience it is to join with friends to welcome a weekend and praise God!
We welcome all women of any age, and you don't have to attend Memorial to join! So, come join us and bring a friend! For more information, call Sharyl Wood 904-415-2460 or email sharyl@bellsouth.net. We can't wait to see you! |
