The The The The Promise Promise Promise Promise

2018201820182018

Do you remember the first time that you were so overwhelmed by a need that everything within you compelled you to give? I do. My first job was as a cashier in the first McDonald’s in Orlando, Florida. After cashing my first paycheck, I participated in a youth rally where a missionary spoke. My heart smiled because I could offer hope, resources, and the love of Jesus – to my “neighbors” in her village! With purposeful peace and grateful joy– I reached into my wallet where I had excitedly tucked my first earned money – and I gave it ALL!

Fifty-two mission-minded “givers” with servant hearts are members of United Methodist Women here at PAUMC! Monthly meetings allow us “connect” time to enjoy and encourage each other as we grow in our faith. We explore and experience creative ways to combine our talents and resources to BE “the hands and feet of Jesus” in our community. Yearly pledges allow us to provide for the global ministries of UMW. YOU are most welcome to serve with us! (Brochures will be handed out prior to our services this Sunday which include info about joining an existing UMW Circle OR being a “charter member” of an additional circle!)

This Sunday, April 15th, is UMW DAY at PAUMC! Allison Lindsey, Associate Director of Connectional Ministries for the South Georgia Conference, will share with us in all of our worship services. Willie and I experienced the creative talents and captivating spirit of this “sold-out-for-Jesus” friend when Allison was Children’s Director when we served in Tifton. Allison’s sermon title, “Such As These” is based on Matthew 19:14.

People of Park Avenue United Methodist Church, Ephesians 2:10 and Colossians 3:23 challenge us: “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do…Whatever you do, work at it will all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.” May our greatest desire be to serve Him wholeheartedly whenever and wherever He calls us!

See you Sunday!

Joyfully,

Jacki Beasley
