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. You can also order an Impact Community T -shirt for $7. Let me know if you are interested in the celebration, the meal, or the T-shirt and I will send in your reservation.

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

As you can see, the summer is almost over, and we are gearing up for the beginning of a new school year. The summer has just flown by too quickly!

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:

May the God of steadfastness and encouragement grant you to live in harmony with one another, in accordance with Christ Jesus, so that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. -- Romans 15:5-6

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.
