Wesley United Methodist Church, Orange TX

The Fall Festival will be October 30th from 2-4pm and the Fall Bazaar will be November 12th.  The picture above is the coverlet and pillowsham we will be giving to the person holding the winning ticket.  See ladies in the church for a ticket.  We are asking a one dollar donation for each ticket.  There will be lots of other good stuff at the Bazaar plus we will have our pecan and walnut’s for sale by then also.

The Fall Festival will be lots of fun with a trunk or treat for the kids, food for all and an award for the best decorated trunk.  We will have a lot of fun so bring all the kids you can find and invite some more.  We will have a bounce castle and slide for the kids with other games for them to play too.

The pictures above are from the Orangefield Cormier Museum.  The ladies are Wanda Barron, Darlene Thompson, Jo Lynn Withrow and Jan Day.  Billy Brossette was just taking a break from his volunteer duties.  They are all members of Wesley UMC and were there because the Director of the Museum, Harvey Wilson (another member) invited them to come and show how the quilt being made for the Fall Bazaar comes together.  The other picture is of my grandsons Brady and Tobey.

If you haven’t had the chance to make the tour you really should.  It is really worth the effort.  The tour down memory lane is neat and you get to see a lot of antique toys, tools, household appliances and furniture.

The spirit of Paul Cormier and the Cormier family is preserved within the Museum.

The Spirit of God and the beginning of the christian church is preserved in Pentecost Sunday.  That is tomorrow.  God’s Holy Spirit was let loose upon the earth for all to be able to experience.  It wasn’t the creation of the Holy Spirit, just God’s blessing being poured out and shared with everyone who invited the Spirit in.  Have you?  Do you?  Will you?  I hope so!

Be blessed in all you do and have a great day tomorrow,

Randy

These are some pictures of some of the people who came to our pancake breakfast.  Gabby Hammett, Billy Brossette, Harvey Wilson and Randy Branch were the Methodist Men who prepared the food.  Tommy Day washed some dishes and many others ate some pretty good pancakes and sausage.  Everyone seemed to have a good time and good fellowship.  We look forward to our next pancake breakfast on the first Saturday of June.  Hope everyone will decide to come to break bread together, fellowship and just have a good ole time.  Maybe we can get twice as many as the 38 who were at the table for the first breakfast.

God’s Peace and Blessings,

Randy

 Smile and get your picture taken.

We will be starting sign-up for our pictorial directory January 2, 2011.  You can sign up at Wesley United Methodist Church or online at our blog site by clicking on the blogroll link Lifetouch Church Pictorial Directories.  We will be sending out brochures to all members soon and we really do want everyone to participate.  Having pictures of everyone available for all those who come and and have their portrait made is a very good way to make our church feel like home and family. 

If you are not a member and would like to schedule a time to have an individual or family portrait made, make sure to sign up.  We would love to have you come and use our facility to have your portrait done by such a professional group as Lifetouch. Each family participating will receive an 8×10 portrait free.

Have a blessed year, 2011, by keeping your Savior within you in everything you do.

Randy
