The first Sunday of the month is always communion Sunday. We look forward to sharing Jesus’s Thanksgiving. Article by Joyce L. Wiedrich 02/12/2026 This Sunday we studied several of the Beatitudes. Pastor Jeannine shared with the children that even if you are sad or mad we should be happy. Jesus always loves us no matter what! Pastor Jeannine asked the kids what made them happy. One girl shared that caring for others made her happy. Our scripture was Matthew 5: 1-12. The disciples came to Jesus. Jesus had begun his ministry and began teaching the disciples . The first beatitude Pastor Jeannine shared was that those poor in spirit are blessed. We are all sinners and are forgiven. We learn to be humble in heart. Jesus gave his life for us. Blessed are those who mourn. Mourning hurts, no matter what the loss. Pastor Jeannine shared we mourn for those estranged from God. Blessed are the meek for they will inherit the earth. Meekness is not weakness. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst. God is our nourishment. Blessed are the merciful. We all help in our missions- prayer shawls, Road clean-up, and needs of the church. A new Bible study will be starting on February 16th. This will be- The Final Journey. Bible study is on Mondays at 3pm. We are soon beginning Lent. We have several activities coming up, so keep posted! Our sincere condolences to Dan and Nancee Scott and many other friends and family members in the recent passing of Dan Scott who passed after a long illness. He was an active member of our community and is greatly missed. We are so thrilled for several new people who have been joining us for worship. We welcome all to join us on Sunday and for other church activities.

Welcome to Melissa and Warren Kinsey, who have transferred their membership to join our church family at Bluff Point United Methodist Church. Article by Joyce L. Wiedrich 01/29/2026 Prayers for the family and friends of Dan Scott, who went to join his Lord after a recent illness. He will be missed. We have had so many that have been sick lately or have had significant losses. Keeping them all in our prayers. We welcome Melissa and Warren Kinsey to our congregation, who transferred their membership to our congregation. Pastor Jeannine‘s message to the children concerned eyewitness reports. How many of us see and hear eyewitness reports on the news? The Eyewitness report from Church today is about Jesus being the lamb of God. Do we tell others about Jesus? One of our little girls said that most of the people she knows already know about Jesus. It never hurts to discuss our love for our savior. Our scripture this week was from John 1: 29-42. John was eager to tell others about Jesus. He really did not know who Jesus was until he baptized him. He got excited and wanted to tell the world. There were challenges in these days though- Peter was a challenger. He was full of doubt. How many things do we doubt? Hopefully we don’t doubt our love for Jesus and Jesus‘s love for us. The miracle of Jesus gives us hope! Pastor Jeannine asked us if we had ever seen a movie that really gripped us. Pastor Jeannine and her husband Phil have had an 80s movie marathon where they relived movie memories watching old movies. One thing that she has found is that there are many memories watching movies together as a family- more than the movies, she remembers the good times of sharing. We have been asked to continue to pray. People feel prayer. We are eyewitnesses for Christ by lifting others in prayer. Please join us in church 9 AM on Sundays. We would love to share with you.

Barbara Bailey is our scripture reader for the month of January. Article by Joyce L. Wiedrich 01/22/2026 This past Sunday’s lesson was about the baptism of the Lord. Pastor Jeannine began by talking with the children about a picture album. Your parents collect pictures of you because they love you. Pictures change, and children grow up quickly. God was pleased with his son Jesus. John the Baptist baptized Jesus in the Jordan River. A dove landed on Jesus at this time. God pronounced that Jesus was his son. I love him. Pastor Jeannine told a story about a man named Mario who was homeless in New York City. Mario carried with him his birth certificate and his baptism certificate which were important to him showing God‘s love. The scripture this week was from Matthew 3: 13-17. The adult sermon was also about baptism. Baptism is a great responsibility to the parents to accept faith for the child and help and nurture them; we carry, dress, feed, and believe in our young children. John the Baptist baptized Jesus with water for repentance. Jesus asked John to baptize him however, Jesus did not need to repent. At this time the heavens opened up with the spirit of God descended. The voice of God proclaimed Jesus is my son whom I love. I am well pleased. Was what revealed to us was Jesus’s true identity. Following the sermon, Pastor Jeannine asked the congregation that if there was anyone present that wanted to be baptized to let her know, and she would work with them to set up a time. Toni Parsons had a fun group in Sunday school after their lesson the girls made origami doves and also friendship bracelets. Don’t forget our baked potato bar dinner at four to 5:30 PM at churchon Saturday, January 24. We always have a good time at our church dinners. Women’s breakfast at the Wagner is Wednesday, January 14 and Wednesday, January 28. The man meet every Tuesday at Oak Hill at 10 o’clock. All are welcome.
