Happy 95th birthday to Art Wunder. Many of us attended his wonderful birthday party that Judy organized for his special birthday. Judy White-Wunder was a long time pastor in our church and she and Art are wonderful friends. Article by Joyce L. Wiedrich 03-14-2024 Bible study continues on Mondays with a Lenten study based on Ephesians, Whar makes a Hero? We continue in church with the Lenten stories, many which are very sad and lead us to Christ‘s untimely death, and then his glorious resurrection. Pastor Jeannine showed us how the murderer Barabbas was released from prison, by Pontius Pilate. Jesus was more popular than others, and Pilate knew that he was not guilty of anything. He was handed over to be crucified. Pilate followed what was told to him as the crowd was yelling to crucify Jesus. Pastor Jeannine wondered how many of us are controlled by peer pressure? What have we done? Just listening to and following the crowd when we could’ve made better decisions on our own. Some people always want to fit in and join the groups that are more popular. Others want to stand out. Pastor Jeannine shared that in her own family she had one daughter growing up that always wanted to be frugal and spent her money wisely while her other daughter wanted to dress with everything stylish, which was often more expensive, but buying things that were more popular with the in-group. Some people go in debt just to keep up with the Joneses. In some instances, peer pressure can make one betray God. We ponder the Easter story. When it comes right down to it, God knew the plan for Jesus, and knows the plans for us in our lives. Come join us, as we discover more about the end of Jesus’s life-the story of Christ, who died to save us. All are welcome at church at 9 AM Sundays. Our address is 3044 Kinneys Corners Rd., Keuka Park, New York. Learn more about us on our website www.bluffpointumc.com

Marilyn James reads scripture- she is the scripture reader for this past month. Thank you, Marilyn. Our readings lately have been from the New Testament book of Mark. Article by Joyce L. Wiedrich 03-07-2024 Pastor Jeannine talked to us this past Sunday about fear. Sometimes we can see danger when there is none. Pastor Jeannine related to us that she has a fear of heights. However, when she was 15 she got her private pilots license. That to her was different because she had control, where if she’s in a tall building or overlooking something low on the ground from a window, she could be petrified. Is that rational? Perhaps not, but it is real to her fear turn us into control freaks. Onto our scripture, Peter had a fear of the persecution he would face by knowing Jesus for three years. Peter denied him three times, before the rooster crowed twice. Jesus had told him that this would happen. This was all in God‘s plan. Took hold of Peter. Peter did recognize his wrongs and followed Christ. In the end, Peter was hung upside down for his beliefs. Pastor Jeannine reminded us that where we live in this country, we fortunately are not crucified for our faith and are free to believe. The Detar family recently returned from a Disney cruise where they saw their son Noah perform in many acts, including Peter Pan. How exciting for them - they must be very proud. Eric is now taking a group from Keuka College on an alternative spring break. We hope to hear of their adventures, what they learned, and how they helped others on their journey. Congratulations to Emmaleigh Stempien for making the dean's list in her first semester at Nazareth University. Good work! See you in church at 9 o’clock on Sundays.

So nice to have Hayden with us this Sunday to ring our bell to welcome others to our Sunday service! Article by Joyce L. Wiedrich 02-29-2024 This past Sunday was the first Sunday of Lent. Going on to Easter. Jesus knew what was before him. Judas had sold Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. Jesus took Simon Peter, James and John, along with him to pray in the garden of Gethsemane. Jesus had worked with the disciples for three years. The disciples fell asleep in the garden, even though Jesus repeatedly attempted to wake them up. Jesus threw himself onto the ground to pray. Pastor Jeannine showed us how Jesus died for the sins of the world on the cross, to bring us to a relationship with God. Jesus knew that he was going to be betrayed. The time leading up to Easter is somber. We remind ourselves that we take up our cross in Christ. Jesus could have made a decision to bypass the cross, but he did what God wanted him to do. This Lenten season remains us to grow, and share our faith of Jesus with others. We do not fear death because we believe. On Shrove Tuesday we all enjoyed a fat Tuesday, pancake, and sausage dinner. So much fun to join and fellowship together as we started the Lenten season. Thank you to the nurture committee for setting this up for us. Stay posted as we find opportunities during this season in our Christian faiths as we lead toward the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ.
