wish
call or visit people to say goodbye
or get affairs in order.
Several people in our congregation have
had losses of various kinds, and there are
special times which bring unexplainable
sadness and even tears or depression.
The best approach to healing generally involves a combination of a strong support
system, prayer, lifestyle changes, and building emotional skills. In some cases, medication or professional help may be needed.

ADOPT A STUDENT
Research shows that 70% of young adults
who were raised in the church leave after
high school. At this same time, many enter
college where they face peer pressure, loneliness, academic stress and new temptations.
As United Methodists, we pledged our prayers and our support to help our young people as they grow.
THE CONNECTION
a phone tree message early enough that everyone is notified of cancellations. We will also put a message on
the church phone to announce closings. We have contracted to have the parking lots scraped if we have
events at the church following inclement weather.
Please send celebratory messages which reflect our members talents and contributions to our church and our
community to Ashley at jeffersonumc@skybest.com or drop your items in the office mailbox.
GREAT EXPECTATIONS!
Maranda and Brian Thompson and their
sons Caleb and Grant expect to add a new
little one to their family in mid-summer.
Maranda is our Director of Children,
Youth and Families.

Jim Wooten and volunteers
In addition to the monthly amount of $38, our youth committed to write letters and pray for Karen. We
chose to sponsor Karen because no matter the distance or circumstance, there is no better way to
change a life, than giving opportunity and sharing the love of Jesus. Just making the decision to help
Karen has already changed my life.
