Bluff Point United Methodist Church Newsletter March 20, 2020
Sandi's Corner
Dear Friends,
Wow! What a week and a half we have had in this world. I would like to remind you of some things: Jesus love you, you are children of God and we are people of grace and mercy.
We are people of grace and mercy has become my mantra. As our patience is wearing thin, and boredom sets in I start every day with Thank you God and end every night with Thank you God. It is time to count our blessings and see how we can help each other.
In peace,
Sandi
We are trying something new! If you are getting this newsletter electronically you can download an app (either from the App store for Macs or Google Store for everyone else). Please down load the Zoom app. Zoom is video conferencing application that will allow us to have worship time. I will be sending a special newsletter with great directions to each of you tomorrow.
Please try to download the app.
Bible Study Disciples - Please download the Zoom app also as we will be moving our Study to this format also.
Please, please, please be careful where you are getting your information from each day. It is overwhelming to be inundated with information. Try to limit your self to 30 minutes of news each day...some of you will remember when 30 minutes of news once a day was all you could watch. Also, here are three websites which will give you the BEST information:
Center for Disease Control (CDC) -
World Health Organization (WHO)
Yates County Public Health
Have you always wanted to join a Bible Study but the "time was not right"? Well, now is the time. There are lots of great Bible Studies we can access on line and spend time with God learning about our Faith. If there is something specific you are interested in please let me know.
I am dividing up the list of folks who are in the directory to ensure we are all being checked on and have an opportunity to interact. PLEASE, PLEASE as you are receiving phone calls make sure you are absolutely certain you know who you are speaking to. Feel free to ask the folks calling to remind you of their name and give you some context regarding the church.
For example, I am Sandi Perl and I stand up at the front of the church every Sunday.
This may be one time where it will be beneficial to know where everyone is usually sitting!
You will be hearing from Bluff Point UMC once a day, sometimes more. I am busy recruiting church folks who will pray with us and offer words of love. Please remember at the end of the call there are options to save the message or listen to it again.
