We don’t sing the hymn “Count Your Blessings” enough these days. “Count your many blessings. Name them one by one. And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.”

Welcome to Lanier United Methodist Church where all able people are expected to serve in the name of Jesus Christ! Every worship service concludes with the reminder that as we leave the building we are the church wherever we are.

The beginning of our stewardship journey for 2019 is Sunday, October 13. This year’s program is entitled “Treasure.” It is written by Jacob Armstrong, Pastor of Providence Church in Mt. Juliet , Tennessee.

IT'S NOT TOO LATE!  We are extending our Operation Christmas Child Shoebox collection cut-off until Sunday, November 10th.  Packing information and preprinted boxes are available at the display table in the sanctuary.

Look for a collection bin in November for donations for Georgia Mountain Food Bank. This organization partners with 12 Forsyth County organizations to fight hunger.  Their current greatest needs are:

  • Canned fruit (low sugar)
  • Peanut Butter
  • Jelly (low sugar)
  • Canned meals (i.e. Chef Boyardee)
  • Whole grain pasta
  • Canned spaghetti sauce
  • Cereal (low sugar)
  • Oatmeal
  • Canned vegetables (low sodium)

We will be collecting through November.  Make sure to pick up a couple extra items when you go shopping!  Call Kim Lepp at 404-401-6080 with questions or to www.gamountainfoodbank.org for more info.

As a part of scouting, a scout must create an Eagle Project. This Eagle Project will better the community. I chose to create my Eagle Project at the church that sponsors my troop. The church that gives my troop a place to host our meetings. Every Monday when I walk down to the troop meetings, I pass a fire pit surrounded with four older benches. Then one day I was passing the fire pit area thinking about an Eagle Project idea, and it just hit me. Fixing the benches would be a perfect project.
