1 11:15 a.m. Welcome to Epworth! Welcome to Epworth! We are blessed by your choosing to worship with us today. Jesus often taught using parables and the lessons we hear today focus on SEEDS. Tiny, small, insignificant things that GROW into beautiful, mighty things! Can you imagine yourself as a seed for God s Kingdom? That s what we re going to talk about this morning. We honor the best of our fathers today, as we pray for all kinds of families and most of all, the Family of God that we are blessed to be baptized into! All are welcome here, as we explore faith and embrace community. NEXT SUNDAY, JUNE 24, TH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST FOCAL LESSON: MARK 4:35-41 PREACHER: REV.

This year we have two of those events at Epworth. Rev. Glenn Catley came to serve at Epworth (moving from the pew to the pulpit) in 2016 and promised to work for one year as our part-time Interim Associate Pastor. We have been greatly blessed as Rev. Glenn Catley has led us through a Vision and Structure Process that has provided crucial change and leadership for our church. Thank you God! At the end of his first year, we begged him to stay one more year and he agreed but he was adamant on the ending date of June Rev. Glenn s last Sunday will be June 24 and we will honor him well that Sunday so please put it on your calendar and stay tuned for details. Because of Rev. Glenn Catley s upcoming departure, the SPRC and Governing Board decided in January 2018 to ask the Peninsula-Delaware Conference of the UMC for an associate pastor appointment. We are thrilled to share that Rev. Todd Shultz, from Bethesda UMC in Middletown, will begin serving as our Associate Pastor on July 1, Todd and his wife, Linda, reside in Lewes, DE. Todd is a retired DuPont employee, who has been serving in ministry for several years. He has met with Rev. Vicky Starnes and the staff and is very eager to get started in ministry at Epworth, however, his pastorate at Bethesda UMC continued through June. Please visit our website for more information on Rev. Todd Shultz.

Epworth s Pastoral Care Team needs Volunteers! Life is good here at Epworth Church! But what if you are sick, in the hospital, homebound, receiving hospice care; what happens to your spiritual life then? Who will pray with you and your loved ones, how will you receive communion? Your church family feels a commitment to each individual s spiritual and emotional well-being. Our Pastoral Care volunteers play an essential role in enriching the spiritual lives of members of our congregation when they are sick, homebound or unable to attend church, and in need of spiritual prayers and healing. You could make a difference in someone's day by providing prayerful companionship. Volunteers in this area have a strong interest in prayer, are very caring with heartfelt sincerity, have patience and are able to offer a respectful, sympathetic and comforting attitude with members of our church and their family members who are in need of prayerful companionship! Epworth s Pastoral Care Ministry needs help! If you feel this may be something you are interested in, please call or Mickie at or mmcmanamon@eumcrb.org. Let s talk and see if this ministry will bless you and members of our church in spiritual need! WINGS (Women IN God s Service) WINGS, Women IN God's Service, is happy to announce that we have new members who joined our team. We our still recruiting new members, as our current members are actively involved in many areas of service.
