Celebrating Life Through
Divine Worship
STEWARDSHIP SUNDAY
10:00
AM, November 7, 2010
The time of
centering: We use this time to make the
transition between “getting here” and “being here.” Take these few minutes of
quiet time to get in touch with the calm places, the still, deep places in you;
the spirit. Relax your body; quiet the inner dialogue of you mind. Focus on
feeling, on being. Be receptive to your center – your reservoir of inner peace,
strength, love. Be aware of being with others. Feel the spirit of the
community.
INVOCATION
The goodness in Christ is that God offers us life at
every moment, forgiving us, and inviting us to the freshness of new beginnings.
Let us praise this God of grace!

NUMANA
The Smithville UMC has signed
up to work with NUMANA and several area churches to package meals. We will need several volunteers to work 2
hour shifts thru out the day. Volunteers
can be young (5-6) to the very mature. This would be a great project to do as a
family, a group of friends or any organization that you may be a part of i.e.
Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Chamber of Commerce, you get the idea. NUMANA provides
meals to countries that are in need of help.
We will be packaging meals for Haiti.
This is a great community service project. It is super simply to do and
a lot of fun as well. We will be
providing more information next month. So please mark your calendar for January
8, 2011. The location will at the Northview Elementary School 9201 N. Indiana
Ave. Kansas City, MO 64156.
