Join Us For Coffee With the Pastor

First United Methodist

We are so blessed to have guests visiting with us each week. I want to invite you to join me for Coffee with the Pastor. We will gather on Sunday, October 16, 2016 at 11:30 am in the conference room. We’d love to be your church family! Coffee with the Pastor is designed to help you discover the values and beliefs of this church and the United Methodist denomination in a casual setting. We will share drinks and a light meal together, learn more about the church, and one another. I believe in this church and its ministry. When we find the right church family and make a commitment, we grow in our closeness to God, we learn to love our neighbor, and to walk as a child of God. I pray that you find that place of connection that will draw you closer to God. If you have questions, concerns, or plan to attend, please give me a call, text, or email. Child care will be available if that would be helpful for your family, just let me know.

Blessings,

Rev. Mary

Leap of Faith

First United Methodist Church of Mount Clemens

Wednesdays @ 6:15 p.m..

Leap of Faith: In Body, Mind, and Spirit

In 2010, my health had hit rock bottom. I took a giant leap of faith and created the following mantra for myself: Health and wholeness in Body, Mind, and Spirit. I did not have a plan, just these words. But I knew I needed to change my course, and with God’s help I have and continue to repeat these words to myself.  My path has led in many directions but 284 pounds lighter today is mind blowing to me. I am not an expert in health and wholeness, but I am on the journey and am inviting others to journey with me using some guidelines. There are a few things I have learned along the way:

1. God is with me always.

2. There is no magic pill, diet, or surgery – it all takes hard work. Good nutrition takes effort.

3. I must move my body intentionally 30 minutes a day.

4. I need to have a healthy plan for my career and finances too.

5. I must surround myself with people that will help me reach my goals.

6. Growing my skills and knowledge is a life time journey.

7. I am worthy of the time and effort to have a healthy life style.

I am going to start an accountability group open to anyone. I dream of a place where people will come, find God, support, and fellowship as they authentically seek health and wholeness for their lives. I want to give back and help others. I am 19 pounds from my goal weight, but I also know that I will always battle addition issues around food, and I am not alone. If you are taking your own Leap of Faith and want an accountability group to help you along the way, come on Wednesday nights at 6:15 pm. We will meet for 1/2 hour in my office. If this time does not work for you or you have questions, please contact me.

Blessings,

Rev. Mary
