Some of us still think of the “lazy hazy days of Summer.” For the people of UCUMC that is not the way Summer is! There are many opportunities in the Summer for us to offer Christ to All.

Growing up I remember our house has a “fall out shelter;” a place to go in case there was fall out from a nuclear strike by the Soviet Union. I remember going to sleep at night wondering if this was going to be the night when we would be attacked. Later on, while in the Air Force, I was blessed with the opportunity to get to know Ron, a former East German Mig-29 pilot who was now in America attending a class. He was about my age with a daughter and wife back in the reunited Germany. As we sat at the River walk, two ex-enemies, he told me about growing up as a boy and going to sleep wondering if that would be the night when we attacked them with our nuclear weapons. 

How funny is this “world of fear” that we live in. The Soviet Union has gone away, and the person who would have been the man whose job was to shoot me down became a good friend who had the same fears as I did. However, today we still live in a world of fear… fear of terrorism.....

  District Conference Photos Your UCUMC members of the SWTX Annual Conference (listed below) were among the 671 clergy and laity who made up this year’s Annual Conference, held June 3-6 at the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi. This year, we celebrate 150 years of ministry in this part of Texas, the first Conference having been held in 1859 in Goliad. The Church and Conference may have changed a little since then, but not the quality of worship, the excitement of seeing new clergy ordained, the fellowship with clergy and laity from other churches, or the dedication to the issues of those in attendance.

Pastor’s Prayer Request: “.” 

Hospitals no longer notify the church if you are hospitalized. Please be sure you or your family notifies UCUMC 659-5555.

Can anybody tell me where June went? I can’t believe how fast it flew by! Part of the reason was that I was so busy.  I had my next to the last session of my PCE School last week and did I ever learn a lot!   The topic this time was Christian Education Theory.  Sounds boring doesn’t it? Well, it really wasn’t. I learned so many things relating to helping you in your walk with Jesus. There were 4 principles I learned that I think are helpful to everyone in their faith journey and life in general. The first is to ask yourself,   “Where is God in this?” You can usually figure out why something is happening if you can see God’s hand in it. The next thing is to always remember, “You are a beloved child of God.”  If you remember that God loves you, I know for me anyway, it is much easier to deal with life’s daily ups and downs along with the hard stuff! The third thing is, “I can’t do it alone.” Just as I need people to help with things like VBS, Sunday School and Bible Studies, you need help in your walk, too. Have you ever heard of an ‘accountability partner’? This is a person you can go to when you are struggling with questions, decisions, and even other people. This person can remind you that ‘You are a beloved child of God’ or that you need to look for God in a particular situation. It can be a best friend, close or far away, a Sunday School classmate, or even a small group. The last thing to remember is that “Jesus is my true north.” No matter the problem or situation, if you keep your eyes on Jesus you can not get lost or wonder too far off of the path. He will always guide you back. I hope that this will help you as much as I know it will help me!
