Callisburg United Methodist Church

A luncheon was given in honor of Pastor John Gowling.  This was his last Sunday to preach at our church.  We have learned after High School, Pastor John enlisted in the åmilitary as a marine and served two terms in Viet Nam. Then he served on the Police Force in Dallas as a detective.  Pastor John and his family lived in Frisco when God called him to the ministry.  After serving in several churches he came to Callisburg United Methodist church but will now serve as an assistant pastor in a non-denominational church in Little Elm.  Our church is very blessed to have had Pastor John minister to us and he will be greatly missed.

The Reverend Kathy Brown will now pastor our church.  She has served as pastor of the Sadler Methodist Church and has ministered in the Callisburg Methodist Church from time to time in the absence of Pastor John.

This Sunday, after the Call to Worship and Affirmation of Faith, Jane Stout had the Children’s Time and Pastor John read scriptures from the Old Testament, Joshua 24:14-28. Pastor John’s sermon was titled “You Must Choose!” and encouraged the congregation to choose whom you will serve even perhaps through persecution.

There is still time to have your pictures and information put in the Church Directory by getting a photograph to either Doneé Webb or Betty Mckenzie.   

Vacation Bible School was a great success.

On Saturday, Sept. 15 the church will have their annual Harvest Sale.

You can reach Pastor Kathy Brown at the church by calling 940-665-1985.  Another number will be given for Rev. Brown in the future.

New Life Bible Church

“It’s Not Who You Are, It’s Who You Are in Christ”

Speaking from Galatians 2:1-10, Pastor Andy Anderson exhorted the church not to be an “exclusive club”. Andy talked about the curtain that is between first class and coach on an airplane, with the first class receiving all sorts of amenities coach does not receive. Exclusivity exists. There are churches who say, “If you aren’t a member of this church, you can’t take communion with us”. There are some who say, “If you haven’t been baptized in a certain way, you can’t be part of our fellowship”. These are two of the many examples in the church today of exclusivity, as well as those who demand works – just like the Judaizers of Paul’s time those who had accepted Christ, yet demanded that everyone, including the Gentiles, be circumcised and follow the old laws.

Paul spoke in Galatians 2:4, of “...false brethren secretly brought in (who came in by stealth to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage)”.  Pastor Andy explained that currently, those “false brethren” try to make us slaves by telling us we must do works in order to get to heaven. If we, however, have a true relationship with Jesus Christ, not just head knowledge of Him, the Holy Spirit Who is in us will illuminate the meaning of the scriptures to us the longer we study the Word. We will know that, as Christians, our relationship with Christ is all we need to get into heaven, and no other “works” are required.  Cults come to your door to talk to you, trying to pull you away from your relationship with Jesus Christ and into their works-based religions. “No one can pull you away from Jesus Christ,” said the pastor. “So who do these people pull into their belief system? Someone who doesn’t have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Someone who may still be learning about Him, but doesn’t have a relationship with Him… Those spies today are no different than the spies then who want to bring us into bondage.”

 Pastor Andy closed his message saying, “Don’t succumb to this. Know that this is not about works. It’s about God’s grace. Churches are being bonded to the shackles of works. They are being told they must do works to be in the ‘exclusive club of Christianity.’ It’s not our club, it’s His club. It’s exclusive, but it’s His exclusive club. People, look around to where you have that curtain in place. All of us have a little bit of a curtain in place – a little bit of exclusivity. Just like He rended that curtain in the Holiest of Holies, we must drop that curtain and stop excluding others.”

State School Ministry

Every 4th Sunday of the month members of New Life Bible meet after church to minister to the young men at the Gainesville State School. If you feel called to participate in this ministry, please see Robert or Susan Gleaton at the church.

Women’s Ministry

What do you crave? Food? Social media? TV? Extreme organization? Do these cravings take up more of your time and thoughts than your attention to your relationship with Christ? The women of New Life Bible are involved in a study on Thursday evenings at 7:30 p.m. based on the book, “Made to Crave” by Lysa Terkeust, which will teach how to turn your desires away from cravings and toward Christ. Women throughout the community are invited to join this study led by Kim Wilson.

Carol Grant will be hosting a fellowship for the NLBC women the evening of Sunday, July 8. The main dish of barbecue is provided. See Donna Anderson regarding side dishes to bring.

High School Youth

Youth leaders James and Alison Lewis meet with the high school youth in the outer building every Sunday morning at 9:30, for an invigorating bible study. The high school also meets on Wednesday evenings at the Lewis’home, learning how to study their bibles. This is very important to everyone to learn, so they can build a foundation of knowledge about the Lord and their faith, growing their relationship with the Lord.   

 This Friday evening, June 29, James and Alison are hosting a get-together at their house for all the youth, junior high through high school. Drop in when you can.

Junior High Youth   

The junior high youth meet on Sunday morning as well, and are currently learning the foundational principles of the Old Testament, relating that knowledge with the New Testament, and growing their relationship with the Lord.

VBS

The annual NLBC Vacation Bible School will be in the evenings of July 9-13 from 6-8 p.m. The theme this year is “The Fruit of the Spirit,” and will include “fruit pickers” and “The Hootenanny Band”. It will be a lot of fun, and the children will get real bible teaching.

Adult Bible Fellowship

Geoff Haberman is leading a Sunday morning bible study each Sunday at 9:30 in room 204. This is an interactive bible study which helps all those attending to increase their understanding of God’s Word. The fellowship is currently studying the book of Deuteronomy.

New Life Family Prayer

Each Sunday morning those wishing to join in corporate prayer are invited to come together in one of the front hall Sunday school rooms from 9 to 9:30 a.m. This is an opportunity to lift our church and our leadership up in prayer, as well as others who come to mind. Sunday school for all ages, toddlers through adults, begins immediately after the prayer time. A nursery is offered throughout Sunday morning, and during the church service. Children’s Church is also offered for the children toddler-aged through pre-school.

Praise and Worship

Steven Dulock and the praise team use their God-given talent to lead the congregation in contemporary praise and worship every Sunday morning before the church receives the Word of God. Everyone is invited to experience this time of praise, lifting your voice to our Creator.

Nursing Home Ministry

New Life Bible is involved in a ministry to the people of one of the local nursing homes. The young people have “adopted” three of the residents who might not have friends or family to check in on them, and will be visiting them frequently. Please see the youth department director, Kimberly Wilson, for details on helping with this ministry.

AWANA

NLBC believes in preparing the young people for battle as they go out into the world. AWANA encourages children and youth to learn God’s word through memorization, reinforcing lessons, and fun games and activities.
