OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD

We will be participating in Operation Christmas Child once again this year. If you would like this opportunity to fill a shoe box with goodies for a child around the world, please take a box home. You’ll find one or more in the Narthex or Contemporary Worship Center. Instructions are included in each box. Please put your name on the list as well, which will help us keep track of the boxes. Thank you! Return no later than November 6.

“TRUNK OR TREAT” is Sunday, October 30th!  Please remember to sign-up to provide a “trunk” and pass out candy. This fall celebration will take place from 3-5 pm on the back field.  Also, we are in need of candy and trinkets to be used as prizes and to supplement candy supplies.  Drop off bins will be provided.  Trunk or Treat is a special opportunity for the people of Cokes Chapel to reach out to the children of the Childcare Center, the community, and the church through an afternoon of fun and fellowship!  We hope that everyone chooses to take part in this church wide event!”

UM Blessing Home for Children – Thailand

Mickey and Jerri Statham’s daughter and son-in-law, Allie and David Houle will be traveling to Thailand to visit the United Methodist Blessing Home for children. Allie asked what they could bring and was told that they have vitamins for the children but they don’t taste good and the children don’t like to take them so gummy vitamins would be a welcome gift.  They are leaving the last week in September so we have 3 Sundays to collect.  Allie and David have asked their church to donate and of course, we can help too.  They hope to take a whole suitcase full. You can read about the Blessing home at http://www.thailandmethodist.org/

Prayer List

 

 

We grow together in faith through learning, serving, worshiping, praying and being present together for these things.  All these activities come out of your heart commitment you made to Christ. We will be remembering the stories of the heart that Cokes Chapel has brought to life in our community.  Through music, shared stories and sermon, we will give thanks for what God has done in our lives and then prayerfully commit together on Oct. 2 the ways we will serve Christ at Cokes for the coming year.

 

We will be having a combined worship with both Traditional choir and Praise band, a rousing worship service and a time of commitment, followed by a covered dish meal in the Contemporary Worship Center.  Plan now to pray about what God is calling you to do, from your heart to build the Kingdom in this community in 2017, and block out your calendar for one combined 

!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Following this class, we will have a “Joining Sunday” on September 25 for those who are ready to make a commitment to serving Christ through Cokes. Members are also welcome to sit in and learn too!

in the Contemporary Worship Center. Learn Methodist history, a little bit about John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, some history and policy, and ways that Cokes Chapel is living out the commission to make disciples for Jesus Christ. Each week, our leadership will join us to share about their area of ministry so you can begin to discern the way that you can connect.
