A Summer Prayer
Gracious God, For the bounties of summer we thank you…. For abundant gardens; for ever growing green grass; for plenty of rain and warm sun. For slower days and lazy evenings; for vacations and reunions; for rest and fun. Help us to be grateful for these gifts of summer. Help us to share the blessings as well.
When a day is slower paced, may we take time to visit with a neighbor or someone who lives alone. When the garden produces much, may we share with those who may be without paychecks. When we feel a sense of calm and peace….may we stop and pray for those whose days are filled with fear and violence. May the world move to the rhythm of your peace Lord. We pray your prayer.... .... at Epworth United Methodist Church Office Phone (317) 251-1481 Thursday, July 2 6:30 p.m....

| Our Regular Sunday Services Epworth's 8:45 AM service is a traditional service. It features fine pipe organ music, familiar hymns and choir anthems. ------------------------------------------------------ THE CHURCH SEASON IS NOW PENTECOST The Pentecost season follows the Easter season, and began on May 31 this year. The season focuses on the church as the witness to the resurrection. In anticipation of this emphasis at Pentecost, the Scripture readings during the Sundays of Easter are different, with readings from the Acts of the Apostles replacing readings from the Old Testament. This emphasizes that the church, which was empowered by the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, is the best witness to the resurrection and the work of God to the world as seen in Jesus the Christ and his followers. Then on or about the Sunday nearest August 31 we celebrate the season of Kingdomtide.
Jesus said to Peter “Feed my sheep.” Feeding others takes many forms. The Missions Committee answers this call to serve others by supporting local, national, and international mission projects. The Epworth United Methodist Church community gives significant dollars and volunteer time each year to mission projects.
