 Encourager - While the number of people professing a Christian faith going into prison and coming out professing a Christian faith is a little better than even, for every 5 Christians going into college only 1 comes out still professing a Christian faith. - Emmaus of the Midlands Newsletter, February, 2010.   
What can I do about this? My children, grandchildren or the youth next door, how are we letting God use us to reach-out to that young person?

Adopt a Homebound Member: Wesley Memorial has several members who are homebound or at nursing homes. Let us remember that the church has hands and feet, and as members of this church we are all called to serve our brothers and sisters who cannot leave their homes. This New Year please prayerfully consider  “adopting” one of our homebound members, committing to visit and deliver the bulletin weekly. Contact Rev. Jeri Katherine for more information: jkwarden@umcsc.org or 771-4540

Ministry Moments - Who can participate in Ministry Moments?
When is Ministry Moments? It is the time right after the announcements just before our call to worship.
Why do we do it? It testifies to us how God is working through normal people and how God is changing our lives. It is important for us to see lives changed inside and outside our congregation through normal people like us.
How do you know you are called to speak?
Pastor asks you
You feel God leading you to share
You have had a change in thinking of how God can work
You have an idea for a new ministry. You feel God has placed this on your heart.
You want to share an idea about an upcoming event in the life of our church?
