The following article has been submitted to the Coffeyville Journal for publication on Friday. Thanks to Nancy Wright for putting it together.
“Lessons from the Wee Little Man” is the sermon this Sunday for the congregation at First United Methodist Church, 10th & Elm. Services are 8:10 a.m. in the chapel and 10:50 a.m. in the sanctuary. A coffee fellowship time is at 9:30 a.m. preceding the Sunday school time.
The Rev. Jenny Collins will bring the sermon using the scriptures Luke 19.1-10. Mike Mason and Judy Hiner will assist with the scripture readings.
The second service will feature the choir anthem “Give Me Jesus” directed by Nikki Kirk. Sunday’s introit will be the beautiful “He Has Surely Borne Our Sorrow.” Henry Millen is organist. Carla Herring plays piano for the 8:10 service.
The chapel is located on the ground floor. An elevator for those wishing to use it to enter the sanctuary is convenient to the lower 10th street doors.
In celebration of the Halloween holiday, church members will open their car trunks to treat Coffeyville children with the annual “Trunk or Treat” 5:30-7:30 p.m. on October 31 at the church. In addition to the traditional candy, members will share toothbrushes, hot dogs, juice boxes and popcorn with children.
The weekly church calendar also includes the Men’s Prayer Breakfast at 7:15 a.m. Monday in the Fellowship Hall. A host of activities are planned for Wednesday. The United Methodist Women meet at the church at 1:30 p.m., the trustees meet at 5:15 p.m. and choir practice begins at 6:30 p.m.
