1 St. Andrew United Methodist Church Rev. Jeff Childress Lenten Sermon Series Rehab Our Lenten series in 2018 will follow the series from Discipleship Ministries of the United Methodist Church entitled Rehab. In general, the word, rehabilitate, means to restore to a condition of good health; to restore to a good condition or operation; or to restore a person s reputation. The annual observance of the Lenten discipline among Christians is a perfect way to seek restoration for our lives in spirit, mind, and body. It is a time to reflect, take stock of our spiritual condition, and realign our lives. Each Sunday of Lent will focus on the Scriptures that provide the core guidance for our Rehab journey. Our desired outcome is to learn how to live differently so that the way of Jesus becomes our new normal. Blessings for the journey!

Guide us on the path toward our destination, and renew our strength as we continue to walk and commune with you. Open our eyes, so we see the signs of your presence around us; open our hearts, so we may receive your peace and love. Empower us to pass on to others the grace you have shared with us so freely. Engender our compassion, and kindle anew in us the desire to proclaim your Word. *Hymn No. 374 Prayer of Approach (in unison) Standing on the Promises Risen Savior, as we gather in this place to worship you, open our eyes. Give to us the gift of your revelation, so that we are not kept from recognizing you.

8 SUNRISE SERVICE AND BREAKFAST United Christian Ministries (UCM) was formed in 1989 to meet the basic needs of persons in crisis in Pickens County and parts of Powdersville. When they opened their doors they had the support of approximately 48 churches. Presently, over 80 area churches provide resources through faithful financial gifts, donations of food, and clothing. The heart and hands of the organization is the volunteers who give of their time to help out. Our church has several members who are faithful to volunteer weekly at UCM. Recently, some of their funding has been cut, grants have stopped or were not awarded. So they have a financial need as well as pantry needs. The current pantry needs are: Canned Meals: Beef Stew, Chicken & Dumplings, Spaghetti Os, Ravioli, etc. Canned Meats: Tuna, Salmon, Chicken, Ham, etc. Also, Juices, Peanut Butter, Jelly, Rice, Dried Beans, Spaghetti, Spaghetti sauces (no glass), Mac & Cheese, canned fruits, cereal, grits, oatmeal, saltine crackers, toilet paper, laundry detergent and bar soap.
