UMW Book Club

Come Join the UMW Book Club on February 20th at 6:30 PM in the church library. We will explore A House In The Sky by Amanda Lindhout and Sara Corbett. This book was an Amazon Book of the month in September 2013. The common remark in most of the reviews was, “Once I started reading this book I could not put it down”. Hopefully you will enjoy the true story of how a young girl’s desire to explore the world led her to being kidnapped in Somalia. As the story is told about the horrible torture she endured you will be amazed at how she searched for forgiveness not only for her captors but also for herself. This is a very intriguing story that will make you think about the courage that this young lady possessed as well as make some wonder about the risk taking that resulted in her being captured. It’s also a study of the part that all religious extremism plays in wars and atrocities.

New Bible Studies

There will be a bible study for women beginning Tuesday, February 6th at 10:00 AM, in the Fellowship Hall, facilitated by Wendy Thurman.

 

 

 

 

There will be an evening bible study for women beginning Wednesday, January 31st at 6:00 PM, in the Library, facilitated by Susan Maddux. Join us for an in-depth and very personal examination of this great story of threat and deliverance. If you’ve ever felt inadequate, threatened, or pushed into situations that seemed overpowering, this is the study for you. Just as it was tough in Esther’s day, it is tough today. The Old Testament story of Esther is a profile in courage and contains many modern parallels for today’s overloaded and stressed woman. Esther, while a queen, lived as an outsider in a hostile environment. Women will learn strong lessons of faith, providence, and hope to equip them to live courageously “for such a time as this.”

2017 Homecoming

2017 HOMECOMING AT SCUMC will be Sunday, September 10, 2017, with Pastor Dale, preaching. A covered-dish luncheon will follow the worship service in the Family Life Center. The meat, bread, and drinks will be provided by the church. Please bring your favorite dish with enough to share. Please fill out the form at the bottom Sunday bulletin and place it in the offering plate or email the church office. We need to know approximate numbers for planning for Homecoming.

Peanut Butter Sunday

It’s that time again when we have the opportunity to help those in need in our community by purchasing a jar or two of peanut butter each time you shop between now and Sunday, October 1st. This may be the only protein some of Spring City’s children may have all day.

Bring the peanut butter with you to church any Sunday between now and Oct. 1st and put in the Peanut Butter Boxes at the side and front entrances. These will be distributed through Our Daily Bread. The jars of peanut butter we gave last year were all distributed within 3 months. Our goal this year is to exceed the jars given last year.
