October 20, 2019 My Grace is All You Need
We're honored that The Reverend Ed Pruitt will be our "guest" preacher at Verona UMC this Sunday. I've put quotation marks around guest because Rev. Pruitt is a former Pastor of our congregation (and a good friend to many of us). We welcome him home.
In Christ, Pastor Bob

Wow! The summer is coming to a close and the rush of autumn isn't far away.
In our newsletters we can only provide an outline for what is coming - only God can fill in the gaps. It is in those gaps that we find miracles and spiritual growth and the sacrificial love of God's people for friends and strangers alike. Thank you for asking God to use the gaps in your lives to be a blessing to others.
This Sunday we will look at Matthew 7:24-27 and the well-known story of a wise man and a foolish man who made very different choices on where to build a house. I hope to see you in worship and Sunday School... and don't forget to bring a friend!
In Christ, Pastor Bob

May 26, 2019 The Path to Freedom
This Sunday, I am excited at the prospect of opening God's Word together on a weekend that reminds us that freedom is not something to be taken for granted - that it is purchased at a great cost. That applies to the freedoms we enjoy as citizens of The United States of America but more importantly, the ultimate freedom we have in Jesus Christ, a freedom that transcends finite nations and cost the very life of the Son of God.
Remember.... Every day we serve and worship a risen Savior... may our hearts be filled with praise for the Christ who is alive in our church!
See you in worship, Pastor Bob

I believe I will get a loud amen from most men when I say that while we may envy moms for the incredible role they play in our families and community...we are also thankful that we don't have to endure the many challenges and responsibilities of being a mom!
To the almost perfect moms and to the moms struggling just to get through each day, this Sunday morning we come together to prayers and thanks for all you do for our children and community.
Every day we serve and worship a risen Savior... may our hearts be filled with praise for the Christ who is alive in our church!

This Sunday provides an opportunity for us to deal with some oft' heard questions about Christian baptism. In my May 5th sermon we'll open God's Word and discuss why Methodists have never been obsessed with the "technicalities" of baptism (such as how much water is used and whether a child is at an "age of accountability"); but put more emphasis on God's saving works and grace in the baptismal act as witnessed in Scripture. I hope you'll come and spend some time contemplating God's great gift of baptism.
With many prayers for a blessed week, Pastor Bob
