We recently cleaned our section of 54-A for the adopt a highway program on a gorgeous fall day! Article by Joyce L. Wiedrich 10-31-2024 This past Sunday was Laity Sunday. Pastor Jeannine explained to the kids that this Sunday is a Sunday giving thanks to all that serve the church 24/7. She had people stand as she mentioned who had helped with various activities and events. All of the congregation ended up standing. Pastor Jeannine explained that Christ went to glory for us to serve others. We have a church that is involved in 14 different missions, serving God’s people throughout the year. Jesus encourages us to find ways to help others. This is in contrast to our scripture from Mark 10: 35-45 read by Marilyn James. In this scripture, James and John, sons of Zebedee, wanted to sit at the left and right side of Jesus. They asked Jesus to do something for them. James and John were dreaming of power and position, but were not willing to sacrifice for others. The men meet every Tuesday at Oak Hill at 10 o’clock for coffee and conversation. Wednesday, October 30 at 9 AM is the next women’s coffee time at the Wagner. Bible study has resumed Mondays at noon. Next month will be busy as we start early preparations for the Christmas season. Where has this year gone? We always have a mitten and hat tree. We also always ring the bells in front of Tops market the day before Thanksgiving, for Yates County Christmas. We are also planning some social events at church. We can always use new voices in our church choir, and also people to help out with Sunday school and nursery. The lessons are preplanned, and it is always fun to help with the kids! Please join us at our country Church at 9 AM on Sundays!

Meridyn Whitford sang her first solo, My God is Powerful, on Music Sunday to her family and congregation. Great job, Meridyn. Such talent and bravery! Article by Joyce L. Wiedrich 10-24-2024 We all love music Sunday, the fifth Sunday of every month that has five Sundays, however, due to many choir members being absent during the end of September, we moved music Sunday to this past week! We had beautiful solos from Meridyn Whitford, Aimee Perry and Madelyn Rose Mosch, as well as four numbers by our esteemed choir under the direction of Ron Miller. We also had many visitors which we hope will come back and join us soon. Pastor Jeannine gave the children’s message, Soli Deo Gloria. She spoke of Johann Sebastian Bach who lived 250 years ago. He was one of our greatest composers. After every piece that he composed, he plays the initials SDG, meaning to God, be the glory! He gave us such a gift of music. Make a joyful noise unto the Lord! Don’t forget Bible studies at noon on Mondays. Each week we will be studying small passages from different chapters of the Bible. Our men meet every Tuesday at Oak Hill at 10 AM for fellowship. All in the community are welcome to join. Such a busy time of year coming up. Sign up will be going around soon for ringing the bell for Yates County Christmas. We always participate in this the day before Thanksgiving, the busiest day. This project is totally supported by donations and provides gift cards, clothing, outfits toys, books, and other items to so many families in our community. Come join us Sundays at 9 AM!

Michele Covert and Marguerite Miller prepare barbeque chicken meals as our BPUMC recently helped out at the Saturday barbeque at Oak Hill Article by Joyce L. Wiedrich 10-17-2024 Grady Bray led our church service and gave our message this past Sunday. He started out giving the children’s message stating that God said that it was good! He asked the children if pie was good? They readily agreed. He gave them a little anatomy lesson on the tongue telling them the good bumps on the tongue or for our different taste, sweet, sour, salty, and bitter so that we can taste all foods. God also gave us the gift of smell. He gave the children an assignment to smell, newly cut grass and to smell the fresh rain as a storm begins. God is good! The scripture lesson was from Philippians 4: 6-7. Imagine not being anxious. We need to work at this. We need to turn our worries into love through prayer. Grady gave us a short history lesson into a focus of Judaism- on history, geography, and the power of places. Jesus was from the Nazareth, five miles from a major caravan route, but it was up and down a ridge and valley, very hard to get to by foot or horse. Nazareth had only 300 to 400 people, who were isolated, but self-sufficient growing grain and tending to their animals. Jesus went to Capernaum from Nazareth and started his ministry from there. Grady also told us the story of Joseph, being taunted by his brothers, who wanted to get rid of him. Joseph was then sold as a slave after being taken to Egypt and being put in a well to die by his brothers. Joseph’s father Jacob was grieving for him. Joseph obviously went through some hard times and ending up in prison, after then being sold to Potiphar, and being accused of seducing his wife, which he didn’t do. God had a plan all along for the saving of Israel and saving the lineage of Jesus through Joseph. Grady reminded us to have an open heart, to choose to listen and use our ears and not our tongue when others have a story to tell. Healing comes from listening. Be not anxious – this is a way to help others through prayer and listening ears. Thank you, Grady, for a great message! Dick Smith reminded us that the 20th at Home and Yates County will be dedicated and October 20 at 2 PM on Cedar Street in Keuka Park. All are welcome to attend. Many of us recently worked together at Oak Hill this past Saturday selling barbecue pork and barbecue chicken dinners. This was a great success, and we all had a wonderful time working together, serving the public. Thank you for everyone that came out to support this fundraiser. Several of us went up to the Apple Barrel Orchards afterwards to listen to Madelyn Rose Mosch sing and play guitar. She has many gigs in the area as she pursues her music career and also college studies. Way to go Madelyn. We have many on our prayer list right now who have had recent surgeries or illnesses. we know who you are in God knows who you are, and we are sending our heartfelt prayers to all. Our sincere condolences also to the family of Velma Boose, who passed away recently. She and her husband Charlie were married for 75 years, and we so enjoyed their presence at church. He passed away a while back and she missed him dearly. They are now together in heaven. See you in church at 9 AM Sunday!
