ANNOUNCEMENTS & ARTICLES

Come for a journey in THE GOOD LIFE with Splash of Joy 1 as we study AMOS by Jennifer Rothschild. AMOS is often called a prophet of doom, and when you read his prophecy, that nickname seems to fit. On the surface, his message doesn’t sound like a happy formula for the good life. However, every condemnation he declares serves as an invitation, a call to “seek God and live”. (Amos 5:4)

In this 8 session study, you’ll be invited to live assured, faithful, chosen, humble, justly, prayerfully and hopeful. This kind of living brings peace and true prosperity for us and those around us. Amos promotes the God life, and the God life is the good life!!

DID YOU KNOW?

SUMC has participated in mission trips to Cuba since 2014 (except for the COVID years). In that time, SUMC built two churches, three parsonages, training classrooms, and acquired two pieces of property for the Methodist Church in Cuba. Watch for an announcement later this summer/early fall for the Missions and Outreach Committee’s trip to Cuba in January 2024.

There is a limit on the number of people who can travel into Cuba, so if you are interested sign up early!

POC is Pete Peters 703.395.2437 or fwpetersjr@gmail.com.

Dear SUMC Church Family,

What a blessing and joy it is to be surronded and lifted up by all of you. Thank you for your love, concern, cards, and especially your prayers. Mom, dad, and I can feel them and God is answering every one of them.

We love you all and care deeply for you. God bless you for all your love and support.

Lovingly in Christ,

Cathy Ondic, Ann & John Rumph
