PASTORAL CARE BLOG Pastoral care is a facet of NFUMC’s ministry that encompasses life experiences and events. Look for information on a pastoral care blog that will contain articles and resource listings on various life issues. Proposed topics include caregiver and care receiver needs, depression, being part of the “sandwich” generation, healing, grief, suicide, holiday pressures, and what to do when God is silent. If there is a topic you would like to see addressed, please contact Maria at mbowers@newnanfumc.org or 770-253-7400 (x208)

BREAKING NEWS: SINGING GROUP FOR OLDER ADULTS IS ADDED TO ENDANGERED LIST! The Swinging Singing Seniors of FUMC are threatened with following in the footsteps of the dinosaur and the dodo. New members are needed to stop this slide to extinction. We have heard all the excuses for not joining and here are the answers to the most common: 1) If you are over 50 and yet feel you are too young to be a Senior, we promise to create a new category of member – maybe Junior Senior or Beginning Senior? Or just focus on the swinging part. 2) If you think you can’t carry a tune in a bucket, bring the bucket and we’ll teach you how to carry it. See, there really are no excuses to come out and sing with us. The group has a lot of fun. They go out in the community to sing for groups, have fun seasonal get togethers (with food) and would welcome your participation.
We look forward to seeing you on Tuesdays at 9:30am!

If you’ve ever struggled with insecurity or had trouble accepting your limitations, this study will help you see how God can use your weakness to unlock His strength. Gideon’s epic victory tells of one man’s struggle with his own weakness, and the One True God who transformed it into triumph. Sign up on Connection Cards, online, or app!
WOMEN’S LIFE GROUP BIBLE STUDY: Entrusted: A Study of 2 Timothy by Beth Moore
Christmas Made in the South Craft Show | Friday, October 28 | 9am - 3:30pm | $10 for ticket & travel | Sign up by October 14
Begins September 25 | Meets 2:00pm on the 2nd & 4th Sundays @ Benton House in Newnan (25 Newnan Lakes Blvd.) Facilitator: Michelle Hall
As Christmas time approaches, what better way to get ready for the holiday season than to stroll the aisles for treasures at this year’s award-winning 26th annual Christmas Made in the South! This event offers amazing craftspeople, outstanding art, and unique gourmet food.
Final words can be compelling. In Paul’s final letter, he charged Timothy, his beloved son in the faith, to not be ashamed to fulfill God’s call on his life. In this 6-session Bible Study, Beth Moore will challenge you to do the same.
