Dear Friends:
I am so pleased and I hope you are too
regarding our 150th
Anniversary Celebra�on. It was a great
day. So many friends came for worship, a tasty meal and good
memories of our past that have shaped our present. Thank you
for a�ending and a special thanks to our 150th Anniversary
Commi�ee. They worked hard and found wonderful details and
memorabilia that mean so much to our members (see p. 3)
We are coming to the 'me of year when our Church
Council begins to look at who is on and who is coming off the
sub-commi�ees: Trustees, Finance, SPRC (Staff Parish), and Lay
Development/Nomina'ons. We have several leaders on our
Hospitality/Worship Host team who want to par'cipate, but
need to pass along the leadership and coordina'ng role. There
are openings with our Media team that makes worship sound
and look good. What would we do without them? Sunday
school and youth leaders along with their helpers are preparing
for a fun and exci'ng Fall and Winter season. Every eight weeks
it’s our turn to staff Mary Martha Thri7 Store and volunteers are
always welcome. Before we know it, Adopt-A-Family Back-to–
School and Christmas giving will be upon us.
There are so many ways to serve Christ and our commu-
nity at Wentzville UMC. I ask you to prayerfully consider how
you might par'cipate in serving Christ in the coming weeks and
months. It is more about saying “Yes” to the Holy Spirit and
being willing, than it is to meet qualifica'ons. We are uniquely
gi7ed with God’s grace and talents. I encourage each of us to
say “Yes I can” when the call or opportunity comes.
God bless us all,
