Thanks to everyone who helped me participate in the Pilgrimage for Spiritual Renewal to Korea with Bishop Young Jin Cho. It was a soul renewing trip. But, I am thankful to be back home at Laurel Hill! Check out this month’s Newsletter and Calendar and give thanks to the Lord with me.

Pilgrim, Let’s Make Progress Together!
Pilgrim, let’s make progress together. Change is in the air and it is time to ready ourselves to follow the Lord! The path before us is full of obstacles and opportunities. Let’s ready ourselves to take full advantage of our opportunities. We can start with our Fall Mission Dinner and Auction on November 2nd, starting at 6:00 PM.
Also, check the CALENDAR and the NEWSLETTER to stay up to date as we travel through the month of November. Make sure you are a faithful LAY MINISTER, serving the Lord.
Remember our Charge Conference with our District Superintendent, Steve Jones after lunch, November 10th as well as our Community Thanksgiving Service at Varina Episcopal Church on November 27th at 7:00 PM. Remember to be present in our times of worship together; your presence makes a big difference!
Looking Forward to Mission & Ministry
As pastor of Laurel Hill United Methodist Church there is only one week left for donations towards our Mission Partnership with the MCV Medical Center Children’s Emergency Room. Books, DVDs, and stuffed animals are all being received through this Sunday, October 28th.
Then, next week is full of outreach and service together. Tuesday, October 30th a group from Laurel Hill will be Feeding the Homeless as part of the Caritas Ministry. Wednesday, October 31st we’ll be hosting TRUNK OR TREAT for the children of our community and then Saturday, November 3rd we will have our Fall Mission Dinner & Auction. You don’t want to miss any of these great opportunities for service.
But, as I think of these immediate opportunities I’m casting my eyes out into 2013. The first week of January, Karen and I will be headed to Dunwoody, Georgia for the 2013 Congress on Evangelism and then sharing a week apart to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary. Yes, I am already excited about that.
Then, in February 2013, I am joining a group from Laurel Hill UMC and the Friends of Barnabas Foundation for a medical mission to Honduras. Please be in prayer for the saving work we will accomplish in Jesus’ name! Also, look for the ways you can support those who will be involved with this mission trip. More news on that, coming soon…
