Cooke County — Callisburg United Methodist Church

The title of Pastor John’s message for the body of Christ at the Callisburg United Methodist Church was “No Cross, No Crown.” He spoke of how Jesus willingly gave his life for us. Not only did Jesus die on the cross for us, but he chose to do God’s will, always laying aside his will and obeying God. And since Jesus was the example for us, then we are to put God’s will before ours.

Dale Sleppy read Mark 8:31-38. Ushers for the month of March are Larry Wallace and Dean West. The Acolytes this Sunday morning were Abigail Pollard and Presley Webb.

Carolyn Hassell spoke to the children this Sunday. She told the children the saying, “If At First You Don’t Succeed, Try, Try again. Then she told the story of John Wesley. He failed many, many times preaching when he was young, but he kept on trying. Emitt Smith did not succeed in football when he was young, but he kept on trying. And then there was a man named Charles Schulz, he loved art and drew cartoon pictures and was turned down many, many times, but the kept on trying. We all know John Wesley was the founder of the Methodist Church. Emitt Smith played for the Dallas Cowboys and is in the Football Hall of Fame. And the man, Charles Schulz, was creator of the “Charlie Brown” cartoon. So, if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.

Kids for Christ attendance last Wednesday was 47. Frances West provided refreshments. Thanks to Carolyn Hassell, Betty Henderson, Ruth Ann Dodson, Dawn Pollard and Pastor John for helping.

Pleasant deacons Batten and Teel were renewed in their desire to provide leadership in the Church. One important message they brought from the conference was, “Church goes as the men go.”

Pastor Chuck’s message

Pastor Chuck Williams’ message was “Gifts for God's People.” It was based on scripture from Ephesians 1:15-19. Brother Chuck emphasized the need people have for roots. To know what to do with your present, you should know your past. The Christian heritage is the foundation of Christianity built by the Apostles. Today's Christian lives a life that clearly shows his/her faith just as the Apostles did in the early days of the Church.
