This Sunday at Gray Methodist:

The 4:19 Initiative
Part 3: Generosity
Text: 1 Chronicles 29:1-9


What kind of person is Jesus making you into? This Sunday, we continue The 4:19 Initiative by looking at David’s challenge: “Who is willing to consecrate himself today to the Lord?” Biblical generosity isn’t rooted in pressure, guilt, or obligation—it flows from a heart that is becoming more like Jesus. When we understand that everything we have belongs to God, generosity becomes less about what we give and more about who we are becoming. Join us Sunday as we ask: What is Jesus trying to change about my relationship with my possessions?

This Sunday at Clinton Methodist:

Gather at the Table
Part 3: What's in your Hands?
Text: John 6:1-14



When a crowd of five thousand was hungry, all anyone had was a boy’s small lunch. This Sunday we’ll look at John 6 and see what Jesus does with the little we bring. What changes isn’t the size of the gift, but whose hands it’s in.

Opportunities to Serve

Our Kids Ministry is growing, and we want to make sure every child who comes through our doors is welcomed, loved, and able to fully participate in the life of our church. As we continue welcoming children with autism, learning disabilities, and other unique needs, we have two important opportunities to serve.

First, we are looking for someone with professional training or experience working with children with special needs who can partner with Kristin, our Kids Ministry Director. This person would help us evaluate and improve our learning environments, develop best practices, and equip and train our Kids Ministry team to serve these children well.

Second, we are building a team of buddies—caring adults and students who can come alongside individual children when they need a little extra support. A buddy helps a child participate alongside everyone else: learning about Jesus, joining activities, building friendships, and knowing that they belong.

You don't have to be an expert to be a buddy. You simply need a heart for kids, a willingness to learn, and a desire to help every child experience the love of Jesus and the life of His church.

If either of these opportunities sounds like a way God may be calling you to serve, contact Kristin at children@graymethodist.org


Church family our Nativity Team needs your helping hands and tools! We will be repairing THE WALL that was badly damaged last year as well as sorting, organizing, and moving items into a temporary storage container**.

Join us Saturday, October 17th from 9AM -1PM. Bring your hammer, drills, power cords and jig saws. If anyone has a truck and trailer, that would be helpful as well!


**You will notice a Conex container parked by the nativity shed that will be used as temporary storage.

The Great Grayberry Pumpkin Hunt (formerly The Not-So-Scary Grayberry Spectacular) will take place at First Baptist in Gray on October 24th from 4:30pm-6:30pm. Everything at the pumpkin hunt will be free and open to the community!

Some new things to be on the lookout for will be free food, new games, a hayride, cake walk and of course a pumpkin hunt! 
Gray Methodist will be doing the cake walk and face painting! If you'd like to help with either of those stations, click the link below. There is also a link below to sign up to decorate your trunk and hand out candy during the event.
