Welcome to the Good News from Calhoun United Methodist. We were pleased to gather in fellowship and love, to praise the Lord with church family and guests. We ring the church bell at 9:45 to call the “flock” to 10:00 Worship. Our service is live-streamed for face book.
We extend our Sympathy and Christian love to the families and friends of Sandy Veatch who passed into the arms of Jesus this week. Others on the prayer list are Pastor Margie Briggs, Sara Veatch, Kathy
O’Dell, Earl Gumm, Linda Alford, Patrick Leach, Macayla Lowe and baby, Bob Burson and family and
Dave Burson. We continue to pray for those suffering in Ukraine and those who are trying to get them relief. We pray for our church families, for our great country and its leaders, for our men and women in service.
Joys to celebrate: We are still being blessed here in mid-winter with warmer temperatures. It was a joy to sing Happy Birthday to Barbara Colwell and wish her many more this morning. The Colwells brought homemade angel food cake to share during the pre-church welcome time. We are pleased to announce the 50th Anniversary of Carol and Wayne Maxwell coming up on Jan. 13th• They would be pleased to receive cards. Samantha Stocking led the service this morning and J. C. Brown gave the message in the absence of Pastor Margie. Special music today was “I Know Who Holds Tomorrow,” by our Ms. Verna. Friday, Jan. 13th is Harvesters Food Drop in Calhoun. Volunteers are always welcome to help pass out the food. Pre-church visitor this morning was an old friend Jim Bilbruck, he expressed their thanks for cards and the news letter they receive each week.

Look hastening to the day of God, the Heavens will be on fire and the elements will melt with fervent heat. The ones who are alive will meet Jesus in the skys, because of a six seal is a big earthquake. In the nuclear war it will Hawaii will break the island it cause that from it’s bottom that what big earthquake.
That at a silent a half an hour at the 7th seal. Jesus comes back again. Says I will be always be with even to the end of the world.
Mathew 28:20 (songs) I’ll go where you want me to go Dear Lord. Or nation or plane or sea, I’ll be what you want me to be. Standing some where in the shadows you will find Him. You know him by the nail prints in His hands.

On Sunday, Pastor Randy Shipman delivered his last sermon as he prepares for his retirement. He reflected on Jesus’ primary commands, the foundation stones of the Bible. First of these, and most important, is to love God because He first loved us. Second, or perhaps only a sub-category of the first, is to love your neighbor as yourself. Pastor Randy reminded us that loving others is a process, rather than a project. As we honor the love Pastor Randy Shipman has shown throughout his pastoral ministry at First Baptist Clinton, as well as his many other endeavors as a man of God, we celebrate the new day that God is preparing for First Baptist Church-Clinton.

“Are You Drawing Interest On Your Gift?”
1Co 12:4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
1Co 12:5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
1Co 12:6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. (KJV)
God gives each of us different gifts, but they are all of the same spirit, from God.
It was Paul’s job to go to the Gentiles. He chose John to write the book of Revelation. The works that each of these men did along with the others, operated under the spirit of God.
The same is true with the administration of the church, which consist of; Pastor, ministers, teachers, ushers, musicians, they are different offices, under the same spirit. When ideas turn to reality people can see who God is.
We invest our life into service to God the benefit is letting people know that God is real. God will put people in your path for you to pray for them. God has many servants. Who he calls, he qualifies.
When you work for God, you can’t allow fear to hold you back. You may doubt your abilities, but you are capable of great things. God will guide you. When God gives you a gift he wants to see you invest in it with a great return.
It is important to let people know you are a child of God and help others come to know God. One body, many members working together for the same goal. Serving God. God Bless.
Mt. Zion UMC
We were blessed to have Jerry Johannigmeier with us at the pulpit. Jerry’s message, “Visualize Success” had references from Isaiah 43:18-19, 2 Timothy 1:15, and Matthew 9.
He encouraged each of us to do something amazing this year that we can look back to at the end of the year. In other words—let us not settle for the ordinary, but trust in God for the amazing—the extraordinary. On a grading scale, God will let us “settle” for a C, but with His help He really wants us to put forth the effort for an A.
We must have faith that God will give us the means to do the things He requires of us. When we ask, He will respond. We serve a God who is not average and we need to see our purpose in the world through the eyes of faith. We must be willing to “stir up the gift” that is within us.
We make God smile when we trust Him to do the “impossible” in our lives and the lives of others. We will never be able to have “do-overs”, so live each day to the fullest of our God-given potential. Amen!

We had wonderful weather on this New Year’s Day. Pastor Chad rang the church bell. Mrs. Julia Klinefelter led in the congregational singing with Dixie Collins playing piano. We rejoiced with Roger and Rosalee Gibson on their 48th wedding anniversary. Randy Vogt and Mike Mullen collected the offering.
The scripture passage from Pastor Chad Pollett’s sermon was from John 5:1-15. Jesus had gone into Jerusalem for the Feast of the Jews. Jesus had been performing many miracles. There was a pool called Bethesda where many disabled people would lie, hoping to be healed in its waters. One man who had been disabled for thirty-eight years was awaiting by the pool. Jesus asked the man if he wanted to be healed. The man said yes, and so Jesus healed him. Jesus told him to go and sin no more. Jesus healed him physically and spiritually.
Jesus is the same today as he was then. Believe in His saving grace and receive eternal life and blessings.
Valley Center United
We give thanks for the revelation that pushes away the darkness and allows Christ’s brilliant light into our world.
We send our prayers of love and healing to Jim Switzer, Kim Meszaros and Sara Reynolds. We continue our prayers of love and support to the people of the Ukraine as they face terrible atrocities and fight for all democracy.
We will have our annual church meeting on January 22nd with a carry-in lunch to follow.
Epiphany is seen and felt all around us. The possibilities unfold as we understand that Jesus and John had an important relationship. Jesus knew how special John was and went into Galilee to be baptized by him. It was the proper way to fulfill all righteousness. Afterwards the heavens were opened to him and he saw the Spirit of God descending and a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, the Beloved, with whom I am well pleased.”
Jesus taught in the temples and called for repentance. John was the messenger and his mission was to prepare the people to receive their Messiah.
John’s call for the people to repent indicated that they needed to change their minds. He called on his followers to go through a ceremony of baptism to demonstrate their repentance for their sins. The people had thought they were righteous and of no need to change because they were outwardly obedient to the laws that God had given Israel. Some had the strength, courage and faith to change and some others did not.
What was our own baptism like? Did we change our minds and understand what it truly means to repent of our sins? Our relationship with Jesus as our Savior saves us from a life of emptiness and brokenness. We know the miracles that he performed and continue to see them today.
The presence of Christ comes to everyone, everywhere. It is not just for some who have special beliefs, he is there for all of us. God sent us our salvation on that blessed Christmas morning.
We were once no people and now we are God’s people.
