Important Church news!

This Saturday, September 11th, the United Methodist Women will  have their annual fall brunch at the home of Debbie Stone.  It will begin at 10:00.  All the women of the church are welcome to come... just bring a potluck dish to share if you do.   Coffee and juice will be provided.

On Sunday will be our first ever  (and 2nd for the year) Fall, outdoor worship service in Water Canyon.  It should be beautiful.  The service will begin at 10:00am.  Bring a lawn chair, a blanket and maybe a hot cup of coffee!  Please join us --and bring a friend--as we revel  in His awesome  nature surroundings.

When through the woods
And forest glades I wander
I hear the birds
Sing sweetly in the trees;
When I look down
from lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook
And feel the gentle breeze;



Then sings my soul,
My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul,
My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!

MAC is coming!
The new Ministry of Arts and Crafts begins on Saturday, September 18th at 10:00.
A new ministry which will showcase all the talents of our congregation and take place about six times throughout the year.  Call Vicki Nye if you would like to "show-off" your talent and be kind enough to teach a one-time class.

Would you like to learn to do this:




Gail Andrews will lead our first class. Come to the church on Saturday the 18th and she will show you how to do Hawaiian embroidery.  This pillow above is her great handi-work.

Items you need to bring:
scissors for cutting cloth
white thread
and 18-inch embroidery hoop
18x18 pre-washed  square of fabric--your choice  (think calico or flowers)
embroidery needle

For more questions call Gail or Pastor Gayle.
This should be fun!

Tara's Tales

A Note from Tara:



My internship has come to a close and I wanted to thank all of you for being a part of it. You have welcomed me into your congregation from the very start and you have been very open to experiencing a bit of Lutheranism along the way as well. It has been a really good year and I've had great ministry experiences here at WUMC. I have definitely grown as a pastor. Dean and I will remain in Winnemucca for a couple more years, so we will still see you now and then. I have seven classes to finish this year before graduating in May 2011. I will take most of them online and will be on campus for a few intensives. It will be a busy year. Blessings and peace to all of you!

Mission trip to Greenville:

In the middle of July, myself and Chasslyn McAllister and Kailyn Yetter went on a mission trip to Indian Valley, in Greenville, CA. We joined a small group of girls from Sacramento and a huge group of youth from Dallas, Texas. Our week in Greenville was filled with work, fun, and faith. The kids were troopers! We slept on the floor, showered outside behind tarps, and used blue porta-potties. It was also a very hot week and we were working on outdoor projects so it took a lot of get-up-and-go to focus on what needed to be done. I didn't hear any complaints, though. It was wonderful seeing all of the kids mingle and get to know each other during our time at the campsite, and it was even more awesome seeing them work hard and realize what it means to serve others. Experiences like these will impact the rest of their lives. Thanks to everyone who helped support our youth in these endeavors! It is greatly appreciated!
