Souper Bowl Event

Leave a Comment

Souper Bowl Weekend
March 6-7, 2021 

In support of
DeBows Food Pantry Ministry  

While we cannot celebrate Souper (Super) Bowl Sunday quite the same as in years past, we can still have our private household parties safely.  We will miss the comradery in Fellowship Hall, but we can still enjoy homemade soups, made by members of our own congregation.  And we can do all this while supporting our Food Pantry Ministry, which serves those in need in our community.
 
This year’s Souper Bowl event will take place over two days: March 6 & 7.
 
You will pre-order your soup online, then you can pick up your soup on Saturday, March 6, between 12 – 1 PM or after the 10 AM worship service on March 7.  The Saturday pickup will be via a drive-thru, non-contact process. You will be able to give your donation when you pick up your soup.  Please make any checks payable to the church.  Your donations directly support the DeBows Food Pantry Ministry and are tax deductible. Please donate as the Holy Spirit moves you.
 
Available soups to order are:

* Chicken Slick
* Chicken Chili 
— Chef: Guy Raymond

* Cream of Broccoli w/Cheddar
— Chef: Christine Raymond  

* Cheesy Chicken Chowder
— Chef: Jill Palmer  

* Turkey Minestrone
— Chef: Steve Wesolovski  

* Butternut Squash
— Chef: Jean Iannacone  

* Tomato Basil Cheese Tortellini
* Mushroom Barley
— Chef: Anita Chichester 

You may order your soup online using the below link. Please order no later than February 21.  Our soup makers need time to prepare the orders and there may be limited quantities of certain soups. Orders will be reserved in the order received.
 
NOTE: All soups will be delivered frozen in 1-pint containers. You may enjoy now or save it for some future date.

Different process, same goal: work together as a church, stay connected with each other, and support our mission to feed the hungry in our community.  The last 10 months have been hard on many people in our nation, our community, and even for some in our congregation.  Let us praise the Lord that we are able to continue find ways to share His love with those around us. “Thank You” for your support!

Happy New Year

As 2020 winds down we look forward, perhaps with more anticipation than in recent memory, with the hope for better times. While wishing you all a very blessed New Year, we offer the following quote. Although taken from a book written in 2014, it seems strangely appropriate for this year.

“As the old year retires and a new one is born, we commit into the hands of our Creator the happenings of the past year and ask for direction and guidance in the new one. May He grant us His grace, His tranquility and His wisdom!” ~ Peggy Toney Horton

 New Year’s Resolution?
 As the New Year rapidly approaches, Pastor Denise would like to recommend the following New Year’s resolution: Read the entire Bible in 2021.

To facilitate this, there is an app for all smart phones called “Bible in One Year”.

“Bible in One Year” is a free Bible reading app with commentary by Nicky and Pippa Gumbel. Nicky Gumbel is the Vicar of HTB in London and pioneer of Alpha.

The app will work with any iPhone or Android smart phone.  If you do not have a smart phone or just prefer email, you may also subscribe to receive a daily email with that days reading and commentary.

This is a fun and easy way to manage your daily devotions. Just spend a few minutes each day following the app or daily email and by the end of 2021 you will have read the entire bible and will get some great insights along the way.

To install the app, go to the app store from your smart phone and search for “Bible in One Year”. For more information or to subscribe to the daily emails, visit: http://www.bibleinoneyear.org/

You may contact Pastor Denise if you would like more information about this particular bible reading application.

Time of Reflection

Leave a Comment

“Be still and know that I am God”
~ Psalm 46:10 ~

During these times of uncertainty and physical separation, we continue to look for ways to stay connected as a church family and share words of comfort and encouragement.

On the church website, there is a page called “Time of Reflection”. It can be found under the “Worship” menu. On this page is posted links to Pastor Denise’s weekly devotions, as well as messages submitted by other members of our church family. If you would like to submit something for this page, please send what you would like to share to Pastor Denise at pastor@debowsumc.org.

Our Mission is to make disciples for Jesus Christ by proclaiming Him as Lord and Savior, and with the help of the Holy Spirit, be His representative in our community through worship, education and service.
