Friday Fives

1. Preaching Series - Do you know the Apostles' Creed? Can you say the Apostles' Creed from memory? More importantly, do you know what each phrase of the Apostles' Creed means? This week we are continuing our preaching series based upon the Apostles' Creed, entitled Christianity 101. This creed is full of meaning, steeped in theology, and foundational for who we are not only as Protestants, but as United Methodists. During this nine week series, we will take this creed, piece by piece, and examine what it is we are truly saying when we recite it. This week we will look at the affirmation, "I believe in the forgiveness of sins". My prayer is that this will not only deepen your knowledge, but strengthen your faith as well. Bring a friend and come join us, as we all learn together!




2. Summer Music - With the summer months approaching we have an opportunity to offer all of you. If you are interested in providing special music for worship during these summer months or know someone who might be interested, please let Watson know. His contact information can be found in the Sunday bulletin.




3. 2012 Annual Conference - Next Wednesday, May 13th, through Saturday, May 16th, I will be away attending our Annual Conference. This is the annual gathering of all clergy and lay delegates from every church throughout the Florida Annual Conference. We will discuss various topics that affect our Conference so I ask that you be in prayer for us that God's will be followed and God's Spirit be listened to.




4. New Addition to the Blog - I am always looking for ways to increase the avenues of communication for our church family. That is one of the main purposes of this blog.

Therefore, I want to introduce you all to the Druid Hills UMC YouTube Channel. I have figured out how to take the audio of my sermons and upload them to YouTube. So anyone with an Internet connection can now log on at anytime and listen to the messages.

I will also post them right here to the blog so you can listen to them. Below is the one from last week's sermon on the Holy Spirit. I hope you enjoy and benefit from this new addition.




5. Historian Needed - If you are interested and passionate about recording the important events in the life our church, we have an opportunity for you! We are in need of a church historian to help chronicle the important events in our history. It does not require significant time, just a passion for the mission. If you are interested please see me and we will talk.


Have a great weekend and see you Sunday!
