As I think about Christmas I can’t help but be drawn into the act of renewal for the world that Jesus brought to us. Christmas is at the end of a year, at the end of another age. It is an opportunity for us to think about the year past and really look at how we represented Christ to the world. Does our love for Christ show in our daily actions such as our speech, our face, our reactions to events, our acts of compassion or our outreach to those less fortunate than ourselves. These are all opportunities to fulfill the call of God in Jesus Christ. Jesus left His disciples to change the world and we are the descendants of those disciples so it is our job to change how the world knows who God in Jesus Christ is. Jesus came, Jesus taught, Jesus suffered, Jesus resurrected so that all who believe in Him would be His witness in His Love for the world.
Kind words and loving actions practiced repetitively will become habit and what better habits to have than showing love to the world in all you do.
I hope everyone had a blessed Christmas and wish everyone a blessed New Year.
Pastor Randy

Wesley United Methodist Church will be having its Christmas Eve Candlelight service at 5pm. If you cannot make it in to Wesley please find a church near you to attend. We get so busy this time of year and Christmas Eve Services are a few moments out of the day to refocus on the true meaning of Christmas. God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son so that whoever believes in Him will have everlasting life.
Have a blessed Christmas Season because you believe in the love God has for this world and all of it’s inhabitants.
The picture above is one I took one evening at the church.

Our first Newsletter for the New Year of 2017 is out and you can find it below. If you want to look at older newsletters just click on the pages link in the right hand column of our web page. Click on the particular page you want to read and it should expand out. Other good news for readers is the not so good news for us here at Wesley UMC in Orange. We still have pecans. They are $9.50 a pound for halves and pieces. They are still good and fresh and will make some excellent pies, fudge, brownies etc. You can even freeze them for later. They will last a good while frozen and still taste yummy in lots of goodies.
Have a blessed New Year of 2017.

Well Jan Day has done another excellent job of putting together our Monthly Newsletter. We are very thankful to Jan for all that she does and we all recognize that anybody can make a mistake because Jan is only human (although she accomplishes so many things there has to be a least a little bit of Superhuman in there). She has the birthdays listed on the calendar but they are July’s birthday listings. The reason I noticed is because my birthday is July the 6th and it is listed as June 6th. Otherwise I may not have caught the mixup. Again thanks for all you do Jan Day. Have a blessed month and we look forward to the next newsletter.

- We gave out 237 free spaghetti lunches Thursday 4/28/16 in Deweyville, Texas. Lots of people working hard to recover from the flooding. Wesley/Orange UMC folks helping to feed those who are in need. Monday of last week in a torrential downpour we served 124 free lunches. A great group of Christians giving life to Christ’s words!
