Wesley Class Schedule Peacefakers, Peacebreakers, and Peacemakers

Ken Sande

April 28 Complete Simon Peter study and Intro to Peacemakers May 5 Pastor Tim Halloran May 12 Pastor Tim Halloran May 19 “The Slippery Slope of Conflict” May 26 “Conflict Provides Opportunities” June 2 “Conflict Starts in the Heart” Becky Edwards June 9 “Confession Brings Freedom” Becky Edwards June 16 “Just Between the Two of You” June 23 “Forgive As God Forgave You” June 30 “Cultivating a Culture of Peace in Our Church”

THE PEACEMAKER by Ken Sande

Jesus said, "Blessed are the peacemakers." But it often seems like conflict and

disagreement are unavoidable. Serious, divisive conflict is everywhere-within

families, in the church, and out in the world. And it can seem impossible to

overcome its negative force in our lives.

Wesley Sunday School Class invites you to join us for a 6 week study,

May 19-June 23. We meet from 10:00-10:45 each Sunday in the Asbury

Room, downstairs adjacent to Wesley Hall and the Kitchen. Books are avail-

able to purchase.

In The Peacemaker, Ken Sande presents a comprehensive and practical theol-

ogy for conflict resolution designed to bring about not only a cease-fire but

also unity and harmony. Sande takes readers beyond resolving conflicts to

true, life-changing reconciliation with family members, coworkers, and fellow

believers.

Biblically based, The Peacemaker is full of godly wisdom and useful sugges-

tions that are easily applied to any relationship needing reconciliation. Sande's

years of experience as an attorney and as president of Peacemaker Ministries

will strengthen readers' confidence as they stand in the gap as peacemakers.

We welcome our Summer Interns beginning June 1st!

Cody Chrisman- High School/Children’s Ministry Tiler Bland- Middle School/Preaching/Pastoral Care Michaela Donovan- High School Ministry Abby McGilvary- Preaching/Middle School Girl’s Ministry!

(Tyler & Abby will each preach once a month at St. James UMC (our sister church) in White Sulphur Springs.)

Did you notice??? A second handrail has been fin-ished near the church exit down-stairs. It was installed by Pastor Tim, Marty Hoyt, Jack Tuckwill-er and Troy Holbrook. The cost is a gift from the Lewisburg United Methodist Men so winter time walking can be less hazard-ous.

CARRY OUT COMMUNION ON THE FIRST SUNDAY

The CARE TEAM in cooperation with the ALTAR TEAM has pre-

with those unable to attend worship. Do you know of someone

who has not received the Sacrament in a while? Please use this

opportunity to offer a blessing to someone else. Each kit will

have the elements, a napkin, and a brief guide to assist you in

sharing the Lord’s Supper. Members of the CARE Team will have

these kits available in the Hospitality Area. There is a refrigera-

tor marked with the kits inside.
