Homeless Care Kits - Deadline: This Tuesday the 5th
For the past 3 years we have united as a community and made tremendous care kits for our homeless. They are given out in December as a gift from the community. Items range from gum, warm blankets and hats to this year's big item: solar powered flashlight and power bank! Please check out our Amazon list if you'd like to help.

In the picture on the right is one of the bags that Carol and her team of sew-ers made last year. They have all of the bags ready to go for this year as well. They will be bringing them to worship on Sunday so that we can bless them before they are put to use.

The Power of Prayer Sermon Notes
In the sermon on the 26th I shared John Wesley's famous Covenant Prayer. Below is the text for that prayer.
You can watch the worship service at this link: Worship 9-26-2021
Wesley Covenant Prayer
I am no longer my own, but thine.
Put me to what thou wilt, rank me with whom thou wilt.
Put me to doing, put me to suffering.
Let me be employed by thee or laid aside for thee,
exalted for thee or brought low for thee.
Let me be full, let me be empty.
Let me have all things, let me have nothing.
I freely and heartily yield all things
to thy pleasure and disposal.
And now, O glorious and blessed God,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
thou art mine, and I am thine. So be it.
And the covenant which I have made on earth,
let it be ratified in heaven. Amen.

Time to Update the Directory
It's been just about a year since our last directory came out. We will be checking in with everyone to make sure your information has not changed over the last year. Several people have moved, others have gotten rid of their landline telephones. We want to make sure we have all of that updated in our directory and in our computer system.
You can help by proactively emailing the Office@RamonaUMC.org and letting us know what if any information has changed? Here are some questions to help guide you.
1. Have you moved in the last year?
2. Did you change your phone number, or get rid of your landline phone?
3. Did you change your email or stop using your email?
4. Is there more or less information you would like publicly shown in the directory?
If you have your 2020 directory, feel free to use it as a guide and simply email any changes you would like to have made.

Current Sermon Series
September 12th - October 31st
Courageous and forward-leaning mission congregations practice spiritual disciplines. Our vital work is a spiritual adventure based on John Wesley's Means of Grace. John Wesley taught that God's grace is unearned and that we are not to be idle waiting to experience grace but we should engage in the Means of Grace. The Means of Grace are ways God works invisibly hastening, strengthening; and confirming faith so that God's grace pervades in and through disciples. As we look at several of these Means of Grace we will gain tools to develop and nurture our personal faith and relationship with God. We will also become better equipped to share the good news of Jesus Christ with the world. The series began on September 12th and covers topics including Study, Worship, Prayer, Sacraments, and Teaching. Join us in person or online for this exciting 8-week series. Remember, if you miss a week in-person you can always catch up with the YouTube versions.

CD/ DVD Worship Service Ministry
If you, or someone you know, has trouble viewing our worship service on YouTube or Zoom, we are happy to send out a CD or DVD copy of the worship service each week instead. We are already doing this and would gladly do it for more people. We want everyone to be able to enjoy the weekly worship services. The disks usually arrive in the mail on Thursday or Friday of each week following the Sunday worship service. This service is free, as our Good Samaritan Fund covers the very minimal cost of Media Mail rate from the Post Office.

How to Lift up a Prayer Request to be Shared in Worship
Prayer concerns for worship can be submitted throughout the week but have to be turned in by 9:00 am on Sunday to be sure they are included in Sunday's worship service. If you don't like using electronic devices, you can fill out a prayer card in the back of the sanctuary before church and hand it to Jennifer at the table in the back of the sanctuary. Otherwise you can send us your prayer concerns anytime using one of the following ways.
