Sewer/water problem at Garfield UMC fixed

This text was posted 11/7/2010: Thanks to John, Jim, Ray and Darrel for getting the Garfield UMC sewer/water problem solved so quickly!

This text was posted 10/31/2010: Temporary addition to Garfield UMC is this porta-potty. Plumbing problems made it a necessity. As a result the musical program originally set for "Thanksgiving time" in November will, instead, be held Sunday, Dec. 5, 2010, when it will be held in conjunction with Garfield’s traditional Starlight Parade and Santa visit. Program starting time will be announced later. But, tentatively, it will be about 4 or 4:30 p.m.

“Praised be You my Lord with all Your creatures.” 20/20/2010

St. Francis of Assisi’ love was so great and so unconditional that it included all of creation.

During the Oct. 10, 2010 service, Pastor Peggy Ray shared part of St. Francis of Assisi’ version of Psalm 148: “Praised be You my Lord with all Your creatures.”

Especially Sir Brother Sun, who is the day through whom You give us light. And he is beautiful and radiant with great splendor.

Of You Most High, he bears the likeness.

Praised be You, my Lord, through Sister Moon and the stars. In the heavens You have made them bright, precious and fair.

Praised be You my Lord through our Sister, Mother Earth! Who sustains and governs us, producing varied fruits with colored flowers and herbs!

Praise and bless my Lord, and give thanks to the Lord, and serve the Lord with great humility.”

Pastor Peggy Ray blessed Janny and Doug Latta dogs, Kobi and Jasper and Jan Lund’s dog Charlie.

“Almighty and everlasting God, Creator of all things and giver of all life, let your blessing be upon _________. Grant __________health and peace. _____We know how faithfully you care for your family. May they love and care for you as faithfully. May they strive to imitate the love of Jesus Christ our Lord and God’s servant Francis. Amen.”
