Marguerite Miller gave the children’s sermon with a telephone game and message for them to share, all about Jesus Article by Joyce L. Wiedrich 06-25-26 Wow, this year is half over already- where does time go? This past week Pastor Jeannine and Phil were out of town and Stacey Wyatt gave the message based on faithfulness. We’ve been talking about love, joy, kindness and faithfulness. We need a divine faith. Our scripture reading was from Matthew 9: 35 through Matthew 10: 8. The disciples made Simon Peter start a church. Our church of Bluff Point was started in 1838 and moved to its present location in the 1890s. One of our congregation members had a grandfather whom helped dig the basement by hand for the current church. Stacey Wyatt told us about several people who have had a divine faith. One was Horatio Spaddord,a businessman from Chicago. He had a very successful business and he and his family planned a journey to Europe. His wife and children went ahead because he still had business to complete. And November 22, 1873, the vessel that his family was on struck an obstacle and sank. His four daughters perished, however his wife survived. After learning of this tragedy, he wrote the hymn- It is well with my Soul, which we sang as our last hymn. Despite unimaginable tragedy he was able to praise the Lord. Despite any obstacles in our life, we need to keep our faith and realize that God will look after us in any circumstance. Faith gets us to heaven and while on earth we need to grow our faithfulness.
Chris Wyant helps Merik Whitford make a magnetic tile castle. Article by Joyce L. Wiedrich 06-18-26 Pastor Jeannine got out of stethoscope and asked kids what that was. She told them that Jesus helped to make people well, not only those that were lame or blind, but also those who were hurting. She told the story of Jesus asking Matthew to follow him. Matthew was a tax collector and not well liked by people, but Jesus welcomed him. Matthew watched Jesus heal many people. He left his job and spent his time following Jesus. Pastor Jeannine’s sermon followed in this vein, reminding us not to judge others, even though it’s hard, we should be showing kindness and repentance. We need to meet people where they are. God made disciples of all nations. Jesus saw Matthew for who he was in his heart, even though he was an outcast being a tax collector. He left everything and committed his life to Christ. We had a wonderful carnival for the kids this past weekend. They were outdoor games, a bounce house, tie-dying T-shirts, painting and crafts. In the sanctuary, the children learn songs and had a message from Pastor Jeannine, focusing and love, kindness, and self-control. Thank you to Marguerite and Ron Miller, Chris Wyant, and all the others that helped make this a reality for nearly 20 children. Hopefully we can do this again next year! The day was capped off with pizza and ice cream sundaes.
We recently had a great musical Sunday. Our choir performed five numbers, and the kids sang a beautiful patriotic song. We’re lucky to have musical talent and many groups to participate! Article by Joyce L. Wiedrich 06-11-26 Pastor Jeannine asked children if they’ve ever known something that they wanted to tell the whole world about. She told him about people putting messages in a bottle. Harold Meyer put three bottles in the Caribbean. He put a dollar in each bottle with instructions to use the money to send a letter and let him know that the bottles had been found. She also pointed out scripture from John three verse 16. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son. A better way than putting messages in bottles is to show by your actions and words the person that you are. It’s good for all of us to share God’s grace with others. We had many participants in our recent music Sunday. Choir sang five numbers and the children sang God bless America, waving their flags Visitors joined us, participating in music Sunday, including Bill Turner, Mindy Tortolon, Bonna McMahon and Kaylee Will. Kaylee played a beautiful music number by memory. We also passed the buckets to collect donations for Yates County Habitat for Humanity. Thanks to Dee Brezinsky for bringing and serving tasty snack for fellowship. Happy summer. The weather finally is cooperating!
