MAIL TO: FIRST CHURCH NETWORK APRIL 2015 First Church Network APRIL 2015 Page 2 First Church Network APRIL 2015 Page 11 WORSHIP ASSISTANTS ~ APRIL 2015 From the Pastor, WELCOME NEW MEMBER SHIRLEY CODY 891 Yadkinville Road Apt 216 Mocksville NC 27028 Birthday 4/20 I am amazed by all that I see God doing at First UMC. Our Family Ministry team has launched an initiative to strengthen marriages with its large group event in late February and three small groups for marriage enrichment that started in March meeting on Sunday, Monday and Wednesday evenings. In April we plan a date night and are sending out an electronic magazine with ideas to strengthen marriages and encourage couple dates. What will you do to strengthen your marriage or the marriage of someone else? The Congregation Care teams have popped up like afternoon thunderstorms on a hot, summer afternoon offering care for those who have missed worship for several Sundays, college students, those in the military, the sick, the bereaved, those with birthdays, the hospitalized, the shut-in, those wanting to make new friends, those needing transportation, and those wanting help with wellness. How will you make First UMC the most caring church around? The Deep Roots Community Garden has prepared for a new year of gardening excellence. People can grow their own foods, share food with the needy and experience the blessings of dirt, air, water and sunshine. Please keep our confirmation class in your prayers as we journey together to be faithful disciples of Jesus Christ who are transforming the world. The group had a field trip to Temple Emanuel in Winston-Salem in March learning about our Hebrew roots. We have planned a one-day retreat to the home of John and Shirley Cottle in late April. We have three confirmands this year: Zeb Chapman, Cren Rosenbaum and Adam Szewczyk. I hope everyone will participate in our upcoming Holy Week services and I urge each of us to identify and invite someone who does not have a church home to come and benefit from participation in these services. If you love the Lord and this church, I hope you will tell others and invite them to be a part of all that God is doing in our midst.

Other Staff News We want to thank Megan Seaford for her service as one of our Nursery Workers. Due to other commitments Megan has decided to step down from this position. We have been blessed by her service to Christ, our children and their families. In the meantime Amanda Harris has agreed to cover the nursery each week while we seek someone to fill the vacant slot. Amanda and Megan have been sharing the job thus far on alternating Sundays. If you or someone you know is interested, please submit an application which is available along with a job description in the church office. For your information the paid nursery workers alternate weeks and work with volunteers during the two worship services and Sunday school.
