    The MSB Gospel Choir was a great success! We had 100 people present, and after paying the choir, we were still able to give a generous gift to Eastside Ministries. Thank you to everyone who helped, attended, and gave. Your love truly makes a difference.

    Pastor’s Class

    For the next two weeks, I’ll be sharing something very personal—my remarkable experience during Communion a few years ago. This will be the first time I’ve discussed it with a group. You’ll even receive a copy of the closing chapter from my book. Join us at 9:45 AM, followed by breakfast.

    Breakfast This Sunday

    It’s a “We-Bring” Sunday, so feel free to pitch in! Breakfast begins at 10:30 AM.

    Hello, dear friends and family of Saint Matthew UMC,

    I am still humming the songs from our concert on Saturday, the 20th. What a beautiful evening it was—filled with music, fellowship, and a wonderful meal afterward. I am so grateful to everyone who helped make the event possible. The church looked so welcoming, and our guests commented repeatedly on the warmth and friendliness they experienced here. It was truly a night of community building. Thank you for your hospitality.

    Our next concert will take place on Saturday, October 25th, at 6:00 PM, with a meal to follow. This free event will feature the choir from All People’s Church on Sandy Lane as they present Lazarus. I’m looking forward to an evening of music and fellowship with their choir and church family. Events like these are especially meaningful as we continue to strengthen connections with our neighbors and other congregations. Together, we become stronger.

    I will be preaching this Sunday and hope to see you there.

    Love and prayers,

    Mary

  • Kids’ News – God Provides Help for Moses

    Sue Kelcey

    Last week, we heard how God spoke to Moses through a burning bush that did not burn up. In that moment, God called Moses to lead the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt. But Moses was unsure of himself. “O my Lord, I have never been eloquent… I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.” (Exodus 4:10)

    God answered by sending Moses’ brother, Aaron, to help. “You shall speak to him and put the words in his mouth… He shall speak for you to the people.” (Exodus 4:15–16)

    Together, Moses and Aaron went before Pharaoh with God’s command. “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may hold a festival to Me in the wilderness.’” (Exodus 5:1)

    But Pharaoh’s heart was hard. “Who is the Lord, that I should obey Him and let Israel go? I do not know the Lord, and I will not let Israel go.” (Exodus 5:2)

    Instead of listening, Pharaoh increased the work of the Israelites, making their suffering worse. Yet God was not finished. Through mighty acts—the plagues—He showed His power until Pharaoh finally allowed the Israelites to leave. That moment became the foundation of the Passover, a lasting reminder of God’s deliverance.

    What We Learned

    • God calls us even when we feel weak or unprepared.
    • He provides help—just as He gave Moses Aaron to speak.
    • Human pride may resist, but God’s power cannot be stopped.
    • God’s deliverance is worth remembering and celebrating.
