OUTREACH MINISTRY

The Disciples class has undertaken an outreach ministry to share Sunday School literature with others. It started with sending a current copy of our literature to Jimmilee Payne in Rising Star nursing home. This caused quite a dust-up when he accosted Rev. Senkel and told him that if everyone in church had read that Sunday's lesson on getting along that there would be no problems in our congregation. So even though he is not in class we know Jimmielee is with us in spirit and commenting on each week's lesson.

We were looking for a place to share our old literature and even though it is out of date, the material was very good. We were looking for a prison ministry and Jane Bonner volunteered to check with the Callahan County jail in Baird. They said they would appreciate the old material. Rev. Senkel pointed out that we had surplus New Testaments that had been given to our church because of the fire. So some of them were added to the box along with a note in each one stating that it was being shared from FUMC CP. It has been appreciated and we thank Jane for the hard work for the Lord. We are spreading the word in our small part of the world.
