Last month and into this month, our Wednesday night study has focused on what it means to be United Methodist. Since not everyone is able to take part in this, I wanted to share a small piece of what this four-week study has covered about what makes the United Methodist Church unique.
Like nearly all protestant denominations, we recognize two sacraments: Baptism and Communion. A sacrament is a sacred ritual where a physical element represents God’s grace. Partaking in the sacraments is an outward and visible sign of an inward working of grace.

UNITED METHODIST WOMEN
Eleven UMW members met on Tuesday, April 9th, at Parkview Haven Retirement Home in Francesville. We traveled to Parkview to be together with our dear member, Betty Whitenack, who lives there. Kathy Ward shared meaningful devotions and a delicious chocolate pie for dessert, as well as an encouraging financial report. We all joined in singing and visiting. Thank you to Parkview Haven for their hospitality and lovely meeting room! Our next UMW meeting is on Tuesday, May 14th, at 1:30 p.m., with program and refreshments by Kathryn Hanson. All women are invited!!!
