More information about Impact Community Day
Impact Community Day is still going to be at E. Guilford High School on Saturday, Oct. 1, but there has been a time change. It is now going to be from 1:30-4:00 PM.
Also, you are invited to a celebration event for the Greensboro District at Muir's Chapel UMC on Friday evening Sept. 30 at 6:30. The purpose of this event is to celebrate what we will be doing the next day to make a positive impact on our communities. It is like a pep-rally for Impact Community Day on the night before it happens. There will be supper served with bbq and chicken from Stamey's. If you would like to RSVP for this event, please email Jonathan and I will send in your reservation. There is a suggested donation of $5 for this meal.

It is not necessary to attend the celebration on Friday night in order to volunteer on Saturday.

Dear Friends in Christ,
This is an official public service announcement and warning: the roads in Gibsonville will no longer be safe, because my 16 year old daughter now has her driver's license. Just thought I should put that out there.
Other announcements include:
If you were here in church on July 17, you may remember the great music and the inspiring message we had from Claude Little. You can listen to the music and the message for that Sunday by going to the church blog: http://gibsonvilleumc.blogspot.com . You can also find many other items of interest in the life of the church there. I encourage you to write something about an area of ministry you are involved in - send it to Edith or me and we will put it on the church blog.
I'll leave you with this blessing from the Apostle Paul:
Peace,
Jonathan

Message from Claude Little on July 17, 2011
Below you will be able to listen to the service from July 17, 2011. It begins with the choral anthem and then has the message that was delivered by Claude Little. This was a great Sunday for GUMC! There is no video for this service, so we just used a picture of the church. Press the "play" button to begin.

Dear Friends in Christ,
Hot enough for you? Hope you're staying cool somehow, either inside an air-conditioned house, by the poolside, at the beach, in the mountains, or maybe just sitting in the shade enjoying a nice breeze (my favorite).
Last Sunday was a great Sunday as we gathered together to worship God and also recognized Ted Bales as our 2011 Layperson of the Year.
This Sunday will be a special Sunday at GUMC as well. Claude Little's family reunion is in town and there will be about 100 of his family members with us for worship. Claude will also be giving the message. We will have a closed-circuit broadcast of the service in the fellowship hall for any possible overflow. Be sure to come and enjoy this wonderful worship opportunity.
Also, this Sunday evening at 6:00, we will have our 3rd Sunday of the month Sunday evening worship service. Susan Owen's band "Highway 61" will provide the music for this service. This is another great opportunity for worship!
Many of you have noticed our announcements in the bulletin and newsletter about July 24 being our matching funds Sunday for the building fund. An anonymous donor has offered to match anything above $1000 given to the building fund on that Sunday. For example, if $4000 is given to the building fund that Sunday, then our anonymous donor would give an additional $3000. This is a good opportunity to pump up our building fund! There is a $5000 cap on the matching fund.
The evangelism committee met Monday night and considered ways to increase the church's on-line presence. We decided to try developing a church blog. It's free, and it's easy to update. For now, it is still in its experimental stage, but if you would like to see it, this is the address: http://gibsonvilleumc.blogspot.com . This will not replace the church website, but it will be an additional way to get out information quickly and easily. It will be updated frequently, so check it often.
Well, I'm about to go get ready for PB & J. We have had a lot of good youth participation this summer in this ministry, which has been fun. Our youth are also working tomorrow at Loaves and Fishes. Loaves and Fishes called us just yesterday and asked if we could come earlier than we were originally scheduled. They need extra help. So, now the youth are gathering at the church on Thursday at 9:00 AM to go to Loaves and Fishes. Wear your youth T shirt and closed toed shoes. Bring money for lunch. This ministry is so important. Just this morning, someone came by the church needing help with food. We were able to refer them to Loaves and Fishes knowing that they could receive the help they need there.
Hope to see you Sunday!
Peace,
Jonathan
