9As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my

love. 10If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love,

just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his

love. 11I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you,

and that your joy may be complete. 12“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I

have loved you. 13No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for

one’s friends. 14You are my friends if you do what I command you. 15I do not call you servants any longer, because the servant

does not know what the master is doing; but I have called you

friends, because I have made known to you everything that I

have heard from my Father. 16You did not choose me but I chose you. And I appointed you

to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last, so that the Father will

give you whatever you ask him in my name. 17I am giving you these commands so that you may love one

another.

THANK YOU CHURCH!

Many thanks again to each of you who supported our UMW Flea Market. This has been a record year. We are over $2700.00 and still counting! These funds will be spent on our Rhea County mission projects. We could not do this without the support of our church family. God bless each of you!

In Christ,

United Methodist Women
