We welcome Nancee Scott as a member of our congregation. Article by Joyce L. Wiedrich 05/21/2026 We had a beautiful Mother’s Day celebration Meridyn Whitford sing a beautiful solo about Mamas. What a gorgeous talent and voice for a little girl! Pastor Jeannine spoke to the children of how we should talk to God. Moms always pray for their kids. We first learn how to pray by saying the Lord‘s prayer and talking to God first asking for forgiveness. You can pray anywhere in nature at your bedside at the kitchen table, God hears us wherever we are. Pastor Jeannine continued on telling us not to pray just when we have needs. Life shouldn’t seem like chaos in the Wizard of Oz starting out in black-and-white and then full color at the end. We need to glorify God and rejoice when prayers are answered. Sometimes we need moments of silence when we plug into God through prayer- it changes our frame of mind. We have had so many losses lately in our congregation of our faithful servants of God. First, Meredith Nielsen then Sally Thomas, and most recently, Laura Hammond. Prayers for all the families in their loss. This week we think and pray especially for Jean Murdock and her family in the loss of Laura. Jean often brought her mother to church, most recently on Easter Sunday. Her service is planned at church on June 20. Here ye, hear ye! We are planning a summer Bible festival. This will be held on June 6 from nine until noon for children ages 4 through 12. Activities include a bounce house, arts and crafts, waterfun, food, bubbles, fishing, and games as well as learning about Jesus. Please call to register: (315) 521–7619). On June 14 will be taking pictures for our new church directory followed by a pancake supper. Lots of things going on at Bluff Point UMC! We welcomed Nancee Scott to our congregation this past week, who transferred her membership into our church. We are glad to have her join our fold! Come visit and come worship with us. 9 AM Sunday.
Here’s our Waneta passionately, reading scripture of the week. Article by Joyce L. Wiedrich 05/14/2026 Our scripture and lesson this week was based on the scripture of John 14. Pastor Jeannine showed us that Jesus promised us the Holy Spirit, in that whomever believed in him would have everlasting life. He asked us to obey his teaching and his commands. Jesus told his disciples that he was going to prepare a place for them. This is a foundation of our Christian faith. Our sincere condolences to the family of Sally Thomas. Sally was a faithful member of our congregation whom we will miss dearly. Her memorial service is planned at church at 2 PM on Saturday, May 16. Sally always had a smile on her face and a good word for others. We also send condolences to Sharon Jenks and family in the recent passing of Wes Jenks. Wes was our pastor for many years in the 1980 and 90s. After his retirement, he and Sharon settled in Florida. We will always remember his guitar playing, and the trips that he and Judy White Wunder planned to many places, including Pigeon Forge! We will be replanning the date of our pancake supper to our next brunch Sunday, the second Sunday in June, at church. Road cleanup is May 15 at 9 AM. Others are welcome to join us. It usually only takes an hour and beautifies our road near the church on 54-a. Please meet at church at 9 AM where we will divy up the route. Pray for no rain, but if it does rain, we will reschedule. See you at church on Sunday! Remember music Sunday is May 31!
Thank you, Ron Miller for all you do musically for us. Our choir always sounds awesome! Article by Joyce L. Wiedrich 05/07/2026 Pastor Jeannine gave our lesson today about the good Shepherd. She started with the kids telling them that Jesus was there to protect them and all of us. The sheep know the shepherd‘s voice and come to him, but scurry away from other people if they do not recognize them or their voice. Pastor Jeannine continued on, showing the adults that Jesus was the gate to the sheep. Whoever enters the gate will be saved. The Shepherd knows all his sheep by names. He knows all of us too, our names and even the hairs on our head and chest. Jesus rose again to be the shepherd for all of us. We are saved because of him- he gave his life not only for his sheep, but for us. Max Lucado‘s study on taming your thoughts begins with Bible study at 9 AM Saturday. All are welcome. Trish DeMondfort will be leading the Bible study. Road cleanup of our section on 54-a will begin at 9 AM on Friday, May 15. All are welcome to join in. We meet at the church at 9 AM and split up for our assignments. All are welcome to join. Several of us traveled to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania recently for the memorial service for Bruce Westerdahl. The family did an awesome job with the service with plenty of memories and videos of both Bruce and Nancy. Bruce was our pastor for many years during the 1980 in 1990s. He lived a long life passing in December 2025 at age 94, in joining his beloved wife, Nancy in heaven. The memorial service for Meredith Nielsen will be at church at 11 AM on Friday, May 8. Our dear Meredith was a lifelong member of our church and is so missed! Another music Sunday! There are five Sundays in May so our next music Sunday will be May 31. The kids will begin practicing their numbers. Come and join us. Thank you to Warren and Melissa Kinsey for after church snacks this week!
