One Savior, One Body, One Mission, One Ministry

June 11 we united our two services into one to celebrate the Lord together.

New worship time

Sunday School 9:00 a.m. Worship 10:00 a.m.

****************************************************************

FROM THE PASTOR: The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the good news that God is

restoring our broken lives through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Are you ready for June 11th? Are you EXCITED to be part of something new?

I am excited to begin a new time of worship. I am excited for our first worship

service together. I hope you are. As you come in the church you will see signs at

all the doors that announce the new worship time and proclaim: One Savior, One

Body, One Mission, One Ministry. I am excited to see all of us together

worshipping God as a unified body in Christ. I look forward to many of you

meeting each other for the first time. I look forward to hearing all our voices joined

together in singing the praises of God. Sunday June 11th will also be a day of

adjusting. You will see people that you may assume are new to the church. I hope

you will take time to meet them and you may discover they have been coming to the

8:45 or the 11:00 service for quite some time. Bill Hybel wrote a book and

evangelism study called “Walk across the Room”. I pray you will take his advice

and walk across the room on June 11th and meet someone new. Take a moment to

introduce yourself to someone new. Even if they have been coming for years, if

you don’t know them then they are new to you. Take the opportunity to walk

across the room and meet someone new.

While this is a big change and something completely new in the long and wonderful

history of Rogersville U.M.C., it is still secondary to what we are called to do. We

are here to share the good news that God restored the broken lives of His children

through Jesus Christ. Did you know on an average Sunday, less than 17% of people

attend church? There are so many who need Christ, hope and love in their lives. I

pray everyone joins together and becomes, or remains, part of the One Body

sharing the good news of Christ with people in Lauderdale and Limestone Co. The

world is hurting; this county, this town are hurting, and Christ is the answer to that

pain. We, the people called Christian, are called to speak into that hurt as one voice

for the one Savior and offer hope to those in pain. Come and join us speak into that

pain, speak into our own pain and offer hope in the One Savior.

One Savior, One Body, One Mission, One Ministry:
