"Mighty Works of God
"

 
Dear Friends, 
      In reflecting on Romans last Sunday, we discerned that it is time for the church to embody "the mighty works of God."   The apostle Paul calls us to stand for that which is loving, true, and noble and against that which is violent, hateful, and selfish, as we saw in Charlottesville recently.                                   Another opportunity to show "the mighty works of God" is in the generosity of time, talent and resources in helping those who are victims of the destruction in Texas.  You have begun well, with an offering towards UMCOR's work in Texas being $945 after one Sunday.  We will continue that offering for several weeks.

      Another way that the church embodies the "mighty works of God" is through invitation to be a part of the throngs of God's people who perform the mighty works of God everyday.
     
      That is why this Sunday is so important, "A Day of Invitation," in which we invite others to join us on that faith journey.  Friends, neighbors, strangers...invite them all to join us at 9 or 11 am Worship or at our Neighborhood Cookout at 4:30.      
  
      Remember to make your invitation to one or a dozen.  It will be a blessed day to kick off our fall at Windsor Hills UMC.  
  
                                                                    Peace,
                                         Doug
