FROM THE PASTOR...
Church 
FROM OUR NEW PASTOR SEAN JOHNSON:
 
For ten years I served on a few different church staffs as a youth minister.  These were all Methodist churches, and that meant inevitably while I was at the church there was a pastoral transition.   I remember those times when we were all waiting for the new pastor to arrive, and I remember the question that was on everyone's mind: "Just what are they going to be like?"

Dear North Judson UMC,
   The dear people you just helped with your gift of $53.00 to UMCOR may never have the opportunity to meet you, but if they did, I am certain their response would be "Thank you"!  May we continue to reveal the love of God for men, women, and children of all ethnic, racial, cultural, and national backgrounds and to demonstrate the healing power of the gospel with this who suffer.

Grace and Peace,
Roland Fernandes, Treasurer/COO
