Serving Christ
From The Pastor
Snacks
Flowers
I grew up in West Monroe, Louisiana where I first came to believe in Christ
through the efforts of the United Methodist Church where I was confirmed,
the Roman Catholic elementary school I attended, and the Baptist youth
group I was part of in High School.
I felt a call to ministry through my involvement in several campus
ministries at LSU and attended seminary at SMU. Also while living in
Baton Rouge I first met Christene, who grew up there, and is now my
lovely wife.
I served as pastor to the Wesley United Campus Ministry at ULL for 4
years, and have spent the last 5 years serving the 4-point charge in
LaSalle Parish. Christene and I have one dog, named Dax. I enjoy
reading, hiking, and travelling the world with my wife.
We are excited about this new season in our ministry, as we work together
with the people called Methodist in St. Francisville.

LORD, Please walk beside me through this day. Clear the heavy air with the lightness of Your Presence. Guide my hands
and steady my heart that I may give comfort when I cannot give hope, that I may give relief when I do not have a cure,
and that I may radiate Your healing peace when the limits of science, time, and the human body overwhelm. Amen.

Starting on Wednesday, July
6th the Mission Committee
will be kicking off the 2nd
annual Summer Series
Devotional program. Please
join us from 6:00 pm to
7:00 pm in the Youth Room
on the second floor of the
Robb House for this 8-week
program.
Dear Church Family,
Lots of prayer, preparation, and people are
what come to mind when I think about the
2016 VBS. With an average of 120 kids in
attendance, over 30 adult volunteers and over
40 youth volunteers, I’d say Deep Sea
Discovery was a HIT! The kids were thrilled
about their mission project-Living Water
International, Inc. They gave a total of $411
towards the building of a water well for those
in need of fresh water.
I prayed A LOT that it would all come together.
I prayed that God would direct me and help
me to guide others to the best of my ability,
and I prayed that t-shirts would not be the
death of me! Tons of prep was done by many
who were either behind the scenes or front
and center. The people who stepped up to
serve the church and make this years VBS a
success… I can’t thank you enough. To be able
to witness the smiles on the kids faces and the
energetic atmosphere was a true gift. The
friendships that were made and time spent
with others all to glorify God was a true
blessing to me.
Danielle Ritchie
SFUMC Children’s Ministry Director
This year will be discussing
an 8-week series “The
Anatomy of a Disciple” by
Dr. Rick Taylor. The series
was designed to inspire and
equip believers to become
authentic disciples of Jesus Christ. Believers are called by
Christ to be and make disciples (Matthew 28:18 -20), but
what does a disciple look like? The series offers a common
language that we can use to discusses such a complex idea.
Dear United Methodist Church,
On behalf of the West Feliciana
Animal Humane Society, we would
like to thank you for your generous
benefit donation.
Sincerely,
LaDonna Landry, Volunteer
The Anatomy of a Disciple provides awareness of what
God intended for authentic spiritual growth by using 8
video sessions and a book to guides us through the series.
If you plan to attend the devotional it is recommended that
you purchase the following book:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/0991306112/
ref=cm_sw_su_dp
The church will provide the additional support materials
that you will need.
If you have any questions please contact Lee Smith at
[email protected].
