From the United Methodist Church Archieves

Suppose you are vacationing far from home. You drive around, looking for a church in which to worship Sunday morning. Suddenly you see a familiar sight: a Cross and Flame insignia on a sign, pointing you to the nearest United Methodist Church. You've just proved how symbols and pictures provide instant recognition, meaning and a sense of belonging.


Indeed, the Cross and Flame emblem is a powerful reminder of who and Whose we are as United Methodists. That's why protecting and preserving its use and integrity are just as important today as when the insignia was created and registered as No. 917,433 with the United States Patent and Trademark Office more than three decades ago.

To find out more about the Cross and Flame, go the

New Music Program?

I am looking for input.
My Orff instruments are at the church and available. We tried to practice during Sunday school and it seriously interrupted their program. I'd like to have an Orff music program - not necessarily just for kids. The insturments were designed by Carl Orff with children in mind.
Therefore, no music background is needed for kids to be successful and success on the instruments is built into the program. Flexibility is built into the program so if one area doesn't work for you, another one is available. Orff incorporates movement, creativity, speech, and percussion instruments - lots of ways to be successful.
Please send me your ideas/input at  vmiller957@aol.com   or call 625-1928.
We might find success practicing after church (after a quick social visit) for 45-60 minutes. I have access to spirituals and can get music



If anyone is interested in helping set up or participate in this type of music ministery (could be a family thing), please give me some input.


Thanks for your help.
Mary Ann Miller

Christian Education Committee Report

Sunday School rotation (for the next 4 weeks,)  changed in  April.  If you signed up to teach Sunday School,  please pick up your packet  at the church.

In February, we spent a weekend learning about "Godly Play", a new Sunday School program. 

Godly Play teaches children the art of using religious language - parable, sacred story, silence and liturgical action - helping them become more fully aware of the mystery of God’s presence in their lives.
Plans are underway to incorporate Godly Play into our Christian Education program.
