MY TURN IN THE NURSERY
Last Sunday was my turn in the nursery to work.
My heart wasn't in it; my feelings were hurt.
A child from its mother did not want to part
And it cried a lot with it's broken heart.
I prayed that soon the hour would end,
That I could relax- no more children to tend.
Soon the hour was over, it felt good to b e free.
I said, "once a month was too much for me!"
That very next Sunday as I sat in the pew
A very good sermon, but visitors were few.
But down came a woman and her soul was saved.
She was the mother of that crying babe!
Then it dawned on me that I had been a part
Of one being saved--giving God her heart.
From that day on I would never dread
Working in the nursery while souls are fed.
I've been working on revising the nursery list. What we currently have is not working very well. Please contact me if you would like to be added or removed from the current worship & Sunday school nursery list. It's very important to the mother's and father's of small children & infants to able to be free to worship whole hearted during that hour. Thanks so much in advance for your devoted commitment.

This is a Day of New Beginnings
This is a day of new beginnings, time to remember and move on, time to believe what love is bringing, laying to rest the pain that's gone.
Christ is alive, and goes before us to show and share what love can do. This is a day of new beginnings; our God is making all things new.
(This is a Day of New Beginnings, Brian Wren, United Methodist Hymnal, 383)
This is the hymn we sang on my first Sunday with you. Remember? This will be the hymn we sing together this coming Sunday as we share in one final service together. It will be a bitter sweet gathering for John and Me. We will feel sad leaving behind such a wonderful congregation that has truly loved and embraced us. But we will go out with joy knowing that Christ is leading you onward. And we celebrate your new pastor, Rev. Tony Matthews and for his joining you in ministry.
So, let's join together and celebrate this time of new beginnings.
JOY,
Pastor Susan
