Box 72 www.newbernfumc.org Phone (731) 627-3386 Fax (731) 627-2261 AUGUST 2016 SIX LITTLE CHRISTIANS Six little Christians tucked in little beds Heard the church bell ringing and raised their little heads. One little Christian shut his eyes once more; I m sleeping in, he said, That s what Sunday s for. Five little Christians raised their little heads, Stretched and sat up straight in their little beds. One little Christian laid his head back on his pillow; It s Sunday, my day off, he said, I m a lucky fellow. Four little Christians sat up in their beds And scrambled right out as Mother always said. One little Christian turned on the TV; Oh look, he said, Something s on I want to see! Three little Christians did what mother said, Hurried up and dressed when they got out of bed. One little Christian dressed in his old jeans, Ready to go out and hit the golf course greens. Two little Christians donned their fine apparel And went to the kitchen to eat some bowls of cereal. One little Christian was headed toward the door When he decided to stay home and eat a little more. One little Christian walked out his front door And hurried off to church cause that s what Sunday s for! --Staff Writer, Inspirational Archive NFUMC Services Sunday Adult Sunday School: 9:45 am Worship Service: 11:00 am Nursery and Children s Worship (Pre K to Grade 3): 11:00 am Evening Worship Service: 6:00 pm Wednesday 6:30 pm: A.C.T.S.

Wow, the summer has flown by!! It s back-to-school time and that means time for ACTS once again as well. ACTS stands for Actions for Christ Through Service and is a program for Pre-K through Junior High students, that runs concurrent with the school calendar. We re starting back on August 10 th, at a new time, 6:30 pm through 7:30 pm. We meet in the Fellowship Hall of the church. Snacks (not meals) will be provided for those who attend. The UMW ladies enjoyed a lunch trip to Reelfoot Lake In July. It was quite warm, but they enjoyed good food and fellowship, as well as the beauty of God s creation. They will meet this month on August 15 th at the regular time of 1:30 pm. Ladies of the church, if you haven t been participating in this particular ministry, now is a great time to attend a meeting and see what UMW is all about!
