Sermon Bulletin () - Hayes Barton United Methodist Church

HBUMC Vacation Bible School Missions
June 22 – 26
2015 Mission Projects for VBS include collecting food donations for local organization Urban Ministries and collecting money for earthquake relief in Nepal. Accessing rural villages in Nepal affected by the massive April 25 earthquake remains a significant challenge, say United Methodist missionaries
there. As the earthquake’s death toll climbs past 7,000, the United Methodist
Committee on Relief and other faith-based partners in the ACT Alliance are
continuing to respond. Some 8 million people are affected and 3.5 million are in
need of food assistance. If you are participating in VBS, please be sure to contribute to this worthy and timely cause.

LuAnn Charlton: “It’s A Family Affair”
Jesus expands the definition of family to a be a web of relationships
that opens up places within it for a whole host of others. Jesus
moves our understanding of family as simply a place of genetic origins (which, to be sure, does a great deal of good in terms of protecting and continuing life itself), to an understanding of family being a group of people that is marked instead by the choices we
make as he says that “whoever does the will of God is my mother
and my brother and my sister.”
...and the crowd came together again, so that they could not even eat. When
his family heard it, they went out to restrain him, for people were saying, “He has
gone out of his mind.” And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, “He
has Beelzebul, and by the ruler of the demons he casts out demons.” And he
called them to him, and spoke to them in parables, “How can Satan cast out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a
house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. And if Satan
has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but his end has
come. But no one can enter a strong man’s house and plunder his property without first tying up the strong man; then indeed the house can be plundered.
“Truly I tell you, people will be forgiven for their sins and whatever blasphemies
they utter; but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit can never have forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin”— for they had said, “He has an unclean spirit.”
Then his mother and his brothers came; and standing outside, they sent to him
and called him. A crowd was sitting around him; and they said to him, “Your
mother and your brothers and sisters are outside, asking for you.” And he replied,
“Who are my mother and my brothers?” And looking at those who sat around him,
he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does the will of God is
my brother and sister and mother.”

UMW Matters
Thank you, congregation - for supporting our UMW freezer sale! Your eager support by purchasing frozen dishes and desserts has helped UMW to 100% fulfill our
2015 annual pledge to The Well of $5000. UMW has pledged $5000 per year for 5
years for a total pledge of $25,000, which was matched by a member of the congregation since we pledged during that “matching gift” window of opportunity. For
UMW and our HB family to work together to contribute $50,000 to The Well is
humbling and JOYful. A special thank you to the 13 UMW Circles who baked,
chopped and cooked to fill up the freezers for the sale.
