Sesquicentennial Teeshirt Orders:
If you ordered teeshirts on History Night (April 17), either in person or via email, they will be ready for pickup on Sunday, June 2 between services. Joyce Morales-Caramella asks that you have your payment ready (cash or check). If you have already received your teeshirt but have yet to pay for it, please do so on Sunday June 2. If you missed ordering one, when we have an order for ten more, we’ll place an additional order this summer. Thanks yo all who have purchased a teeshirt and wear it to promote our celebration in the community.
Ice Cream, Ice Cream! We all scream for ice cream!
Do you have an ice cream making machine and would you be willing to donate your time, talent and ingredients to preparing ice cream for our July 7 Old Time Ice Cream Social? Please sign up at the welcome center if you can help. If you have questions, see our ice cream social chairs Lisa Andrews and Rose Andrade.
Quilts and Old Photos:
Do you have old family photos or an heirloom quilt you’d like to have on display as we celebrate our Sesquicentennial in August? The kiosk at the back of the church already contains photos from previous historical celebrations, but we’ll be adding more as we move through the summer months. We’ll make copies of these precious photos and return them to you. See Linda Pottenger or Julie Bailey for more details. Your ancestors may not have settled in Douglas County before or since statehood, but their lives somehow initiated your journey to our church.
The History Night video can still be viewed on our YouTube Channel. If you would like a copy, please let Pastor Matt know.
Fun with Music: Summer Pop-Up Choir.
During the traditional services at 8:30 am this summer, you’re invited to “pop in” at 8 am in the choir room to run through the hymns before the service begins. It’s going to be a fun summer of sweet and simple old hymns. If you’re a musician/singer who would like to share your talent in a solo or duet, please let Nancy Docksey or Rev. Matt know ahead of time.
Save-the-Date — Saturday, June 22 for our all-Church Food Drive for Help and Hope. There will be a sign-up sheet for volunteers to help collect food at 3 different King Soopers locations. More complete details will appear in the May and June newsletters. Chairperson Phyllis Tumey (ptumey43@gmail.com) will graciously answer any questions you may have.
Photos Needed: As we celebrate the 150th year of our church, we are looking for pictures of our congregation taking part in any of our special events and regular activities. Posed photos are nice, but candid shots of people enjoying the Help & Hope food drive, the ice cream social, any of our pot luck meals, backpack ministry, Time & Talent, game night, etc. would be greatly appreciated. Anyone who takes these pictures should send them to Julie Bailey (juliesings@gmail.com) or Pastor Matt (matt.franks@fumccr.org) for inclusion in our newsletter and our sesquicentennial
Print Copies of the Church Newsletter. If you would like a print copy of the monthly newsletter reserved for you, please let Julie Bailey (juliesings@gmail.com) know so you can be added to the list.

This week's Quotes and Scripture
But I need something more! For if I know the law but still can’t keep it, and if the power of sin within me keeps sabotaging my best intentions, I obviously need help! I realize that I don’t have what it takes. I can will it, but I can’t do it. I decide to do good, but I don’t really do it; I decide not to do bad, but then I do it anyway. My decisions, such as they are, don’t result in actions. Something has gone wrong deep within me and gets the better of me every time. Paul, in his letter to the Romans 7: 17-20 The Message.
God has equipped you to handle difficult things. In fact, He has already planted the seeds of discipline and self-control inside you. You just have to water those seeds with His Word to make them grow! — Joyce Meyer
