10th Annual UMM Garage Sale Report
The United Methodist Men wish to thank the members of the
congregation for donating treasures, doodads, and
whatchamacallits to the sale; allowing the use of space; and,
shopping at our sale this past week. Twenty-three members
helped deliver, set up, set out, price and put up, clean up and
return items used in the sale. The UMM would like to give a
big shout out to: Alan, Barbara, Becky, Carolyn, Charles,
David, Dianna, Donna, Harold, Hubert, Jack, Joe, John,
Judy, Margit, Lee, Rodney, Roger, Shelly, Sue, Terry, and
Tim. A special shout out is to Bill Pickett, who donates
storage space for the sale each year. Thanks Bill! Many
people ask “what happens to the leftover stuff?” after the
sale. We donate many items to the Boys & Girls Club Thrift
Store, the Airman’s Closet, Child Welfare Board, Friends of
the Library, and Faith Mission. The Bible speaks of turning
water into wine, and feeding the five thousand with a few
fish and loaves of bread. The garage sale provides a similar
modern-day miracle. The men brought four trailer loads
over from the shed for the sale; we took two trailer loads
back to storage; and delivered three trailer loads to Boys and
Girls Club Thrift Store. You do the math. The sale raised in
excess of $2500 with more still coming in. Money will be
used to support UMM missions. Thanks again and God Bless all of you!

IRS Warns Taxpayers of Summer Surge in Automated Phone Scam Calls;
Requests for Fake Tax Payments Using iTunes Gift Cards
WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today warned taxpayers to stay vigilant against an
increase of IRS impersonation scams in the form of automated calls and new tactics from scammers
demanding tax payments on iTunes and other gift cards.
The IRS has seen an increase in “robo-calls” where scammers leave urgent callback requests through
the phone telling taxpayers to call back to settle their “tax bill.” These fake calls generally claim to be
the last warning before legal action is taken. Once the victim calls back, the scammers may threaten to
arrest, deport or revoke the driver’s license of the victim if they don’t agree to pay.
Contact TIGTA to report the call. Use their “IRS Impersonation Scam Reporting” web page or call 800366-4484. Report it to the Federal Trade Commission by visiting FTC.gov and clicking on “File a Consumer Complaint.” Please add “IRS Telephone Scam” in the notes.
If you think you might owe taxes, call the IRS directly at 1-800-829-1040.
Children’s Learning Center Corner
School begins, Tuesday, September 6th. We will have registration and meet
and greet, Wednesday, September 10th, from 9am – noon. Enrollment is at
24, two classes are full, with three day week/three year olds having one opening. We are excited with a brand new year and all the excitement it brings.
We were able to add to our weekly curriculum with one of our student’s
mother volunteering as a certified sign language teacher!
We ended the year in the black and for that I am truly thankful. On my wish list for CLC, I would like
to turn the upstairs center room into a miniature city of Burkburnett, I’ve shared this with Jesus and
now, our church family and we shall see where God leads.
I want to welcome Pat Strahan to our CLC family this year! Thank you Pat, God has answered our
prayers. Thank you church for all you do for CLC, we are truly blessed!
Blessings,
Maria Hickey, Director and Teacher, Margit Bale, Teacher, Stephanie Bavousett, Teacher

Women’s Walk to Emmaus
October 13-16 in Burkburnett
The walk to Emmaus is an experience of Christian spiritual
renewal and formation that begins with a three-day short
course in Christianity. It is an opportunity to meet Jesus Christ
in a new way as God’s grace and love is revealed to you through other believers. The Walk to
Emmaus experience begins with the prayerful discernment and invitation from a
sponsor. The Emmaus leaders prayerfully consider each applicant and in God’s time, the
person is invited to attend a three-day experience of New Testament Christianity as a lifestyle
The objective of Emmaus is to inspire, challenge, and equip the local church members for
Christian action in their homes, churches, communities and places of work. Emmaus lifts up
a way for our grace-filled lives to be lived and shared with others. Call the church office or
speak with Pastor Liz if you are interested.
If you would like to speak with someone about the Emmaus weekend here are some names
you can contact: Deb, Sue, Shannon, Lizann, Shelly, Maria, Margit, Tami, Georgianna,
Barbara, Becky, Liz and many others, just ask.
C4 CAMP BRIDGEPORT 2K16
A special thank-you to all who devoted all your time
and energy into C-4 camp at Bridgeport, TX . We had
such wonderful volunteer leaders in this camp. These
people took time away from their jobs and families to
help last week. We had lots of campers who were
eager to learn and spend time away from home. We
had our special memories both good and bad. Thankyou to all who helped with the sponsorship of our
Junior Counselors. We could not do this without
them. We had one child go home with a fever and it
ended up being leukemia. Prayers are needed year round for camp even though it occurs
only in the summer. Thank-you for being a giving church with loving hearts.
Patricia Veal
Co-director of C4 Camp
