'Joys & Resentment'
Gospel: Luke 15:1-10

We continue in the Gospel of Luke. This week we begin in Chapter 15, verses 1-10. First is the Parable of the Lost Sheep, followed by the Parable of the Lost Coin. Jesus tells these parables because those good religious people, the Pharisees, were grumbling when they caught Jesus welcoming and eating with sinners!! So my question is this: Why is it that good people find it so difficult to find joy in God welcoming the 'other'. Verse 7 says 'Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.' God came to save all of God's children, can't we find joy in that knowledge? I look forward to seeing you and hearing your thoughts!

Confirmation

Confirmation class begins on Sunday Sept. 15th following fellowship. Over the next 7 1/2 months a group of five youth will be exploring their faith, the creeds, Methodist history and what it means to be a United Methodist.

Please be in prayer for our group as we begin this journey!

Wellsville Days Sept. 21-22

Picture
Wellsville Days is coming up quickly! And as usual the Wellsville United Methodist Church will be taking part in a few different ways.

The Mission Team will have a booth throughout the day on Saturday on Main street. They are requesting help from the congregation. We need baked goods to sell and help manning the booth. If you are able to help please contact Janet Harris. All proceeds go to the Student Aid fund. In the past years this fund has helped students pay for eye doctor appointments, dentist appointments, school lunches and most anything else that the school social worker requests for those students who would otherwise have to go without.

The Float Committee is busy working on our Monopoly themed float. As usual it will be a showstopper! We are working every Sunday after church at 2 pm at the Hart's.We are also accepting donations for candy to hand out as we make our way down the parade path. Lyle and Cindi are in charge of this endeavor.

And finally on Sunday, Sept.22 the Ministerial Alliance is hosting our annual outdoor worship. This year we are changing it up a bit though. We are offering Donuts and Donations. We will begin at 10 am at Saddle Club Park. At 10:30 the three area pastors will each offer a short devotion. We will not have our regular worship service at the church on that day. Please join us at the park instead!

**Theology on Tap**
​Join us on Tuesday evening at 7pm for Theology on tap! Held at Chili Jacks. Come and dig deeper into the last Sunday Service.
