Barker/Cronland Engagement...
"There are three things that will endure--faith, hope, and love--and the greatest of these is love." 1 Corinthians 13:13
Jerod Brent Barker, son of Benny and Rhonda Barker, proposed to Diana Lee Cronland, daughter of Aaron and Susan Cronland, on January 23, 2008.
Diana said, "We have been great friends since the 7th grade and thankfully met up later in life to see we were still great friends and a lot more. He asked for permission from my Daddy the day before but had the ring for a month before that. I guess he had to muster up the courage ;) He waited until the very last hour of my 30th birthday to ask me for my hand. Just like a Barker ;)"
Your church family is very excited for you and will stand behind the two of you in prayer. This is such a blessing!

Confirmands Claim the Name!
Today, the confirmation class learned about John Wesley, founder of our denomination. They learned that he had faith the size of a mustard seed and that faith launched a new movement. See if you know the answers to some of the Methodists fun facts they learned.
1. Do you know the three stages of grace which Wesley felt were so important?
2. Scripture holds authority for Wesley and for us. What three other things are important when it comes to understanding scripture and our relationship with God?
3. What are the two sacraments observed?
4. What are the three ways a person can be baptized in The United Methodist Church?
5. What happened to John Wesley at Aldersgate Street?
6. Why are we called Methodists?
For the answers...see a confirmand! Continue to pray for them on their journey to joining the church!

Prayer Connection Week of Jan 20, 2008
Raise our vision above the barriers of color, culture, and creed that separate us. Give us wisdom as we deal with one another. Help us to recognize and to respect different ways, rather than to judge. In the Spirit of Jesus who came not to be served, but to serve, we now must walk n the world. We must reach out our hands with help and open our hearts in love. Awake our desire to seek your way of serving you in the world. Amen.
(The Book of Worship, 423: "Human Relations Day")

Children's Program
Children's Chior
front Left: Morgan, Elizabeth, Caroline, Emma, Abby
Middle Left: Braedan, Amber, Chandler, Maci, Mason
Back Left: Katelyn, Scout, Mattie
Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star's Backstage!Garrison, Micah, Jed, Marley
I have heard only raves from the audience about your performance. You guys amaze me every year with your talent and showmanship. I can think of no greater way to have you glorify God this Christmas Season! I had several people tell me that this program is what made their
Christmas. It made them think of the true meaning and really got them in the Christmas Spirit. Each of you are truly a blessing I cherish!
GOOD WORK! Thank you to all the children who worked so hard. Learning the songs was not an overnight task. I enjoyed our Sunday afternoon practices and looked forward to spending time with each of you. I also thank the parents who took the time to help out and get them to practice. Jennifer Barker for helping with the Music, Kadye McCaslin for running the music on performance night, Stephanie Barker for decorations, Erin Thompson for helping with the toddlers, Leslie McIntosh for introduction, all the men who helped with the stage, the Young Adult Sunday school class who helped to set up, Bill Dellinger for setting up the sound and mikes, everyone who made food, the women who stayed to clean, Ronny Rudd...shhhh..you know what for. And to everyone who came to support and listen to the great story the children had to share.
The Christmas Story
{Children’s Christmas Program 2007}
Once upon a time, A long, long time ago.
Begins the story of a baby, That most of you should know.
His daddy's name was Joseph, And Mary was His mom,
This babe was very special He was God's only Son.
Song 1: "What Child is This?"
Mary rode a camel, And Joseph walked along,
While angels watched from afar Celebrating in song.
When they arrived in Bethlehem, The couple was turned away,
By keepers of the inn Telling them of no place to stay.
Now Joseph- he insisted That his wife has someplace to stay,
The keeper told him of a stable With animals and hay.
Mary and Joseph’s journey ended In a stable filled with hay,
It was there that Mary gave birth, To our King on this day.
Some angels came from heaven, And they began to sing.
To the shepherds in the fields below,"Glad tidings do we bring!"
Song 2: "Hark the Herald Angels Sing"
Word of the King’s arrival Soon spread very fast,
The Angels told Shepherds That a Savior was born at last.
A bright star lit the heavens, To light the Magi's way,
To the baby in the manger Who was born on Christmas day.
Song 3: "Away in a Manger"
Song 4: "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" (toddler/preschool aged children dressed as stars)
And all who gathered round Him, Rejoiced and praised His birth.
For the babe, the King, named Jesus, Is our Savior here on earth!
So as we celebrate Christmas With Candy and presents and more
Remember we have a Savior,Giving us life evermore.
Song 5: "Joy to the World"
Song 6: “Go Tell it on the Mountain”
