"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose..." ~ Romans 8:28
 
Are you feeling alone, like you're taking on the whole world's problems? Sometimes we feel overwhelmed by the difficulties of life, especially during times of transition. Sometimes actions and reactions that are so unusual and foreign to our way of normal thinking occur all to often. Sometimes frustrations at our inability to keep order and peace hurt at the very core of our being. 
 
Our homes, communities, state, nation and world are in that time of transition. We are struggling to enter into that new reality which will bring us to a sense of normalcy when the time is right. 
 
We have been called to a spirit of hope, love and compassion; and that starts with listening to each other. If we work for God's purpose of peace, God works for and through us. We know what can unify us, and we know who remains the same yesterday, today and tomorrow - our Lord Jesus. He is our hope in all things.
 
So as our summer begins, may we be quick to listen, deliberate in our good actions, and instruments of Christ's peace in all we do!  
 
And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. ~ Colossians 3:14

May God bless each of us as we seek our rest, comfort, and hopes in our Lord Jesus.  Amen.

~ Pastor Denise

DeBows will be supporting UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief) through September by supporting their Hygiene Kit program.

This is hurricane season and the projected heat wave/drought conditions in the west this summer make wild fires a very real possibility. 

Along with accepting monetary donations, DeBows will be collecting items to build Hygiene Kits. Our UMCOR Hygiene Kit outreach activity helps to meet the ever increasing demand for relief items. The Hygiene Kits we put together are forwarded to UMCOR for deployment to those most in need. This has been very successful and rewarding ministry in past years.

If you wish to donate, please mark clearly on your check or envelope that it is for UMCOR.  Each Hygiene Kit is valued at $12, but any and all donations will be greatly appreciated and will be sent to UMCOR along with the hygiene kits.
