Your Place in Ministry - June 11th
Please Note:
—Looking to plug-in? We would love to have your help! The Tech team is looking for more volunteers for the soundboard. We need ushers and liturgists. You can volunteer to work with our Children’s Ministry, or you can also volunteer to pack food at the Community Food Bank once a month. We have several great opportunities. Please call the church office to sign up.
—The Lovelady Center has requested our help with providing toilet tissue for the ladies at the center. We are collecting by the front doors. Thank you.
Come join the celebration!
Wednesday, June 14 from 5:30—6:30 pm we’ll have a “country cooking” theme potluck fellowship dinner and celebrate becoming a part of the Global Methodist Church. Come enjoy some cake and bring your favorite potluck dishes. We’ll have a devotion during dinner and lots of fellowship!
Welcome Reception
Join us for a Reception on Sunday, June 18 during the Sunday school hour 9:45-10:45 am in the Fellowship Hall. We’ll be saying goodbye and a big “thank you” to Barber Clark, who has been our interim Children’s Minister. We are welcoming Shan Odom as our new Executive Minister and Megan McEvoy as our new Children’s Minister and hope you will stop by during the Sunday school hour to say hello and welcome them.
Blessing Box
Our church gives out a lot of food to anyone who may have a need through our “Blessing Box” out front. We are seeing a marked increase in that need. To provide this ministry, we rely on donations of food from our members. Please consider purchasing an extra item or two when you shop to donate to our Blessing Box or perhaps your small group or class can help. There is a large blue bin by the front doors where you can place your donations and we will fill up the outdoor box as needed or you may place your items directly in the blessing box. Thank you for sharing.
Children's Ministry
--We are excited to welcome Megan McEvoy as our new Children's Minister here at Trussville First. We can't wait to see what exciting ideas she has in store for the future! Please give her a warm welcome when you see her around the church.
--As we continue to grow and expand the Children's Ministry, we are in need of volunteers. There are many opportunities for you to serve! If you have a heart for working with children and want to make a positive impact on their lives, please contact Megan at kidsministry@trussvillefirst.com. Thank you for your continued support, and commitment to our children.
Food Drive for TEAM
June 14 - 28. Help our Kids and SWAG ministries stock the shelves at TEAM with snack food items and pre-packaged meal kits for families this summer. Drop off your items in the bins in the Welcome Center and at the portrait of John Wesley. They will be marked “TEAM”. Thank you.
Discipleship Bible Study
If anyone is interested in participating in a new Discipleship 1 Bible Study in the fall, please call Candy in the church office at 205-655-3259 to be included.
Naomi Girls Update
Thank you for all the donations you have given for the Naomi Girl’s project. The cost to repair water wells is $1,500 each and solar boxes cost $100 each. We need $300 to have enough to repair a third water well. We hope to get enough to have four repaired. Please continue to write your check to Trussville First Methodist and indicate solar box or water wells on the memo line. The money is sent to the non-profit Designs for Hope with Chris Bond for Africa.
New Small Group Study - 'Life's Healing Choices'
Make plans to join us on Wednesday, July 12th as we launch our first Small Group Study for 2023 as a Global Methodist Congregation! This is a church wide small group, 'Life's Healing Choices', that will be led by Bob and Shan. We will have food and fellowship from 5:30 to 6:30 each Wednesday night. Beginning at 6pm, we will open with the lesson overview for the evening while everyone finishes their meal. At 6:30, we will break into smaller groups that will be gender specific. We will discuss the lessons from 6:30 to 7:30. If you have any questions, please email Shan at pastor.shankay@gmail.com or you can reach her at 256-515-0916. We are excited to get back to our Wednesday night groups as we go back to our Methodist roots of doing life together while being active Disciples!
