Praising God in McCamey!


The blessings of God were in evidence today in McCamey!  With guests in worship and our wonderful choir, our worship was alive! 

This afternoon, Bobbie & Bill Lester, Belinda Alkula and Roy and Alice Kephart... joined Pastor Charles and the McCamey Convalescent Center residents in a memorial service for Cleatus Brooks.

This evening, the fifth installment of the Lenten study, "UMC 101," was held with the subject being a look at the UMC Hymnal and the Book of Worship.
