UNITED
METHODIST YOUTH FELLOWSHIP
In October we participated in the Crop Walk for Church World
Service and raised $235.00 to feed the hungry and attended the district
Youth Rally on the 8th. We have led the worship service 3 times
this year and have written our own skits for the fifth Sunday in October
in order to convey our interpretations of what God’s Word means to us
today. The Lawrence and Margaret
Pannell Playground will be built on the east side of the church
between the driveway and cemetery. We have now accumulated over $5000.00
towards our goal and on October 31st we will hold a Fall
Festival Fundraiser that we hope will bring in an additional $1000.00 with
a bake-sale,
cake-walk, games, and activities. We want to say thank
you very much to all of those who continue to support our efforts as we
continue to glorify God in all that we do. -Shannon

PARKER’S HOMECOMING
AND REVIVAL CELEBRATION
Greetings
in the name of the Lord. We
are thankful to God for His blessings on our Homecoming and Revival. We
had 136 people in our Homecoming service and a record breaking attendance
during our revival. It is my prayer that we keep the Homecoming and
Revival Spirit as we continue to serve God and let it become a part of our
daily lives. Our worship services are growing which is due to God's
blessing us, the team approach, and being a friendly church where Jesus is Lord
and everybody is somebody. A
bless church is a church who put God first, who love one another, who
prays for each other, who works together, who believes all things are
possible if we trust the Lord, and dedicate their lives to accept God's
Will and plan in their lives. Your Pastor Richard
WOMEN
Hello everyone.
At this month's meeting we made new Chrismons and we will continue this
project at our November meeting. We are still
October
Youth Rally accepting
boxes for Samaritan's Purse, they are due Sunday October 29. Don't forget
the five dollars for shipping. The Women's group will also be discussing a
church wide Thanksgiving, dinner anyone is invited. We are recycling
bulletins as packing material, so don’t forget that when the service is
over on Sundays, to bring your bulletin out of the Sanctuary and put in
the recycling box. This will also help keep our Sanctuary looking clean
and beautiful. That is all I have for now. Thank you for your support. Sincerely, Ashley O’Regan President, Parker UMW
UNITED METHODIST MEN
Mike Tredway and Monte have the plans for the structures for the
new playground the UMYF has been raising money for. Monte will begin
breaking ground for it since the Trustees have voted to approve the
placement of it. The UMM will join the teens in building the wooden
structures and assembling the equipment so we will need your help. All men
are welcome to join us when we meet on the first Sunday of every month at
8:00 AM.
We ask your help
in keeping up to date on events in the church and community. Submissions
can be photos, poems, or articles of interest.
To add items to the newsletter or website, E-mail pmadm@parkerunited.org
or give your contribution to any of the UMM. Please submit items before
the 20th of each month.
We are also asking for photos of service members in uniform. Any
current or former church member who served our country should be
recognized for their service. The UMM are going to work on a proper
tribute and need your pictures. If you have them in digital format e-mail
them to the address above. James Garner President UMM
This
is the 5th of an 11
Part series about the history of the The
Slavery Question 1844–1865 John Wesley was an ardent opponent
of slavery. Many of the leaders of early American Methodism shared his
hatred for this form of human bondage. As the nineteenth century
progressed, it became apparent that tensions were deepening in Methodism
over the slavery question. In this matter, as in so many others, Methodism
reflected a national ethos because it was a church with a membership that
was not limited to a region, class, or race. Contention over slavery would
ultimately split Methodism into separate northern and southern churches. The slavery issue was generally put
aside by The Methodist Episcopal Church until its General Conference in
1844, when the pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions clashed. Their most
serious conflict concerned one of the church’s five bishops, James O.
Andrew, who had acquired slaves through marriage. After acrimonious debate
the General Conference voted to suspend Bishop Andrew from the exercise of
his episcopal office so long as he could not, or would not, free his
slaves. A few days later dissidents drafted a Plan of Separation, which
permitted the annual conferences in slaveholding states to separate from
The Methodist Episcopal Church in order to organize their own
ecclesiastical structure. The Plan of Separation was adopted, and the
groundwork was prepared for the creation of The Methodist Episcopal
Church, South. Delegates from the southern states
met in Bitterness between northern and
southern Methodists intensified in the years leading to Abraham
Lincoln’s election in 1860 and then through the carnage of the Civil
War. Each church claimed divine sanction for its region and prayed
fervently for God’s will to be accomplished in victory for its side. © Methodist Church Archives http://archives.umc.org/interior.asp?ptid=1&mid=346
