Gainesville — Callisburg United Methodist Church

A Call to Worship was given by Pastor John Gowling this Sunday

morning.  The congregation sang “Bringing In the Light of Christ.

After the Prayer of Invocation the whole congregation said the

Affirmation of Faith.

Barbara Pollard had the Children’s Time this Sunday and gave the

children a review of what has already been taught them on “How to get

to Heaven.”  She wrote each child scriptures on believing, salvation

and scriptures about God giving everyone a choice and put them in

little treat bags and told the children to take them home and put them

in their parent’s Bible and they would be there when they needed them.

Norman Minor read Colossians 3:1-7 which advises us to set our

affections on things above and not on things of this world.

Callisburg High School seniors were presented gifts from the church by

Pastor Gowling.  The graduating seniors are Colton Holder and John

Papaioannou.  The seniors were also presented scholarships at Senior

Day at the Callisburg High School on Sunday afternoon.

Pastor Gowling’s sermon was titled “Heavenly Minded” and was taken

from the book of Colossians.  Pastor Gowling encouraged the church to

read the book of Colossians this week.

After the hymn of invitation the church sang “God Be With You” and we

were dismissed.

A big thank you to all the men of the church for cooking such a

delicious breakfast for the mothers last Sunday morning.

Sunday review

Mary Friddell opened the morning worship with prayer.  Dean Armstrong

and Choice Stephens took up the offering as Suzanne Carpenter played

Holy, Holy, Holy on the grand piano.  Rick Collett sang “Victory in

Jesus” as Suzanne Carpenter accompanied him on the piano.

Bro. Bill Black’s sermon was from Hebrews 11:1-10.  God loves

‘reckless’ faith better than ‘organized’ faith. In this Biblical

passage, examples are given of  Abel, Enoch, Abraham and Noah.  All of

them went into the unknown, trusting God.  What are you risking for

your faith?

Choice Stephens gave the benediction.

Contact information

Carpenter at  665 2951 to request prayers or more information.
