Newsletter of Archer United Methodist Church

October, 2015- Volume 10

The other day, Duane and I were eavesdropping on the kids as they
played. Kezy declared, Im God, Tommy, you be the angel. So
now we need to get the mud together. Tommy, you get the
mud. Okay, and now, since Im God, I need to breath into it, and it
becomes man. Then Tommy yelled, It is GOOD! Now lets get the mud and make Pizza
Ranch, because it is good, too!
Duane and I laughed, and we decided that Glenna has been doing a good job with
teaching the kids Sunday School in Archer, and I realized that the kids were going to be starting WWW soon. All of our meetings are finally going to come together into something meaningful and I look forward to hearing how the lessons are going to inspire more kids.
I am also really looking forward to celebrating Lords Acre. I have heard all sorts of
wonderful stories about it, and I am already working with the worship team for the service. It
should be a wonderful celebration!
This really will be a busy month, and I know that as the leaves begin to change a new
season is starting. We can use all the help we can get in trying to get prepared for the harvest. Matthew 9:37b says, The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. I encourage
everyone to try to take hold of some kind of opportunity to volunteer and allow the Spirit to
work through you in inspiring new disciples.

If you are aware of someone in need of a pastoral call, please inform Pastor Cory at the office, 9574960 or her cell 404-788-4997. She would rather hear from multiple sources than from no one at all.
In these times of privacy rights, hospitals and nursing homes may not divulge information relating to
a resident or patient, so it is very important that members and/or their families let the Pastor know of
all needs for pastoral care.
