FEBRUARY 4, 2018 NEWDAY PRAISE WORSHIP | 8:45 & 10:00 A.M.
FOOTBALL SUNDAY
REV. ELIZABETH GILBERT Sunday, February 4, 2018, is the big game in the U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and in living rooms across the country. It’s “Football Sunday!” We might be tempted to think that football is the only thing on the minds and hearts of these championship players; that they are driven solely by the hope of football success and celebrity. But many players have a different story to tell - a much more important story. In NewDay Praise on Football Sunday get an inspiring, inside look at faith in the NFL. On football’s biggest day players from this season’s biggest game and CBS Host James Brown will share messages around the theme of Seek, Search, Surrender. Be encouraged in faith and life as you hear how God has been active and working in the lives of some of the sport’s most well-known players. Sunday, February 4, at 8:45 and 10:00 a.m. in NewDay Praise Worship.

GRIEFSHARE BEGINS AT PUMC If you’ve lost a spouse, child, family member, or friend, to death you’ve probably found there are not many people who understand the deep hurt you feel. This can be a confusing time when you feel isolated and have many questions about things you’ve never faced before. GriefShare begins February 21 at PUMC to help you face these challenges and move toward rebuilding your life. GriefShare is a thirteen-week, Christcentered, biblically-based support group experience. A grieving person can join at any time during the thirteen weeks and the group is open to anyone seeking support in their grief. Each session shows a video presentation followed by small group discussion about the video. The video presents experts, ministers and Christian counselors discussing grief and recovery subjects helpful to persons who are grieving. Real people share their stories of what has helped them deal with the pain of losing a family member or friend through death. During the week between meetings, group members complete a Bible study and practical exercises to help them heal from grief. To register for PUMC’s GriefShare group, or to learn more, please contact PUMC’s GriefShare leader, Shannen Shortt at sshortt@pumc.org.
