To Cokes Chapel UMC
THANK YOU
We feel so blessed to have a church family who comes together in times of crisis with love and support. We give you our heartfelt thanks for all the prayers and the generous donations that you have made to help our son, Mark, and his family when they lost everything in a house fire this week. He has been overwhelmed by your kindness and is moving forward knowing that God is with him each step of the way.

UMW – Fall Fundraiser
Wednesday Night Supper, Oct. 23rd

For all of us, there are many demands on our time. This weekend was no different, as Cokes offered both a Labyrinth learning experience, a time to walk a canvas labyrinth, and Sunday to sing some of our old favorites in a unified worship, followed by a cover dish meal that had the tables groaning and our tummies full!
Our Friday night walk on the canvas labyrinth was a quiet, reflective time. Most who came had already had an experience walking, yet as we are learning, every walk is different. Saturday morning, we served a breakfast worthy of kings and queens, with our excellent speaker John Rhodes. John lead us through learning how to draw a labyrinth, provided both history and current inspiration for the use of labyrinths, from prayer, healing and even wedding ceremonies. Twenty-eight of us were together as we concluded with a walk. We all left inspired and excited for the future potential of the labyrinth for us and our community!
Want to know more? We will keep you informed as we proceed. John spent quite a bit of time with Jackson Smith, our Eagle Scout who will construct our labyrinth. Many are asking where we will put it. Jackson is working on the options and when he knows more, he will present options to the Trustees and to Church Council, as well as make his plans available for you. We expect that to take place once Jackson completes his Marching Band season!
Taking steps together, to grow and experience God in our lives – for our benefit and God’s glory!!
Peace, Pastor Lisa
