FUMC-BA News this Week! October 27, 2013

Next week! In the song ‘In Christ Alone’ we read “For I am

His, and He is mine.” We belong to Christ – and He be-longs to us. But what does that really meanBut what does that really meanBut what does that really meanBut what does that really mean? It is more wonderful than we can truly imagine! We belong to Christ – he is our Master – our Savior. He has redeemed us from sin and death; purchased us with his own blood. And he belongs to us – his wisdom, power and grace are available to us. We inherit eternity because of Him! But what does that mean for our marriages – our children and grandchildren – our jobs – our possessions? Is stewardship more than just giving money to the church once in a while? Come next week as we continue to put our trust ‘In Christ Alone.’

Dear Church Family, Thank you so much for all your kind

words, prayers, phone calls, cards and meals during my sister Paula’s passing. The love of our church has brought us much comfort at this time. God Bless You All.

The flowers in the sanctuary are in celebration of Morgan and

Megan Hildebrandt’s 18th birthday, TODAY.

Given with love by their family.

October is Pastor Appreciation Month We would like to show our Pastors how much we appreciate them. This is the last Sunday, October 27th. There will be a box in the Sanctuary Building where you may drop in a card for each pastor. Please make sure their name is marked on the front of the envelope.

This Week ! Where do we find hope? What is hope? The dictionary defines ‘hope’ as “the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out

for the best.” But true hope has to be more than a feeling – doesn’t it? In one of the most popular newer hymns/worship songs “In Christ Alone” we find these lyrics:

In Christ alone my hope is found

He is my light, my strength, my song

This Cornerstone, this solid ground

Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.’

‘Where do we find hope? Where do we place our trust? Come next Sunday as we begin to think about hope and where we really put our trust.

2 Corinthians 1:8-11 8 We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sis-ters, about the troubles we experienced in the province of

Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself. 9 Indeed, we

felt we had received the sentence of death. But this hap-pened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who

raises the dead. 10 He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us again. On him we have set our

hope that he will continue to deliver us, 11 as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for

the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many. (NIV)

. Don’t forget —

NEXT WEEK WE’RE BACK

TO STANDARD TIME.
