MUSINGS FROM MIKE

February…cold and gray February, too far away from Christmas and not close enough to spring.

But February at Butler UMC is a month filled with good things and events you want to be sure to be a part of.  This Tab Times is filled with things for you to note, pray for, and be part of; but I would ask you to be especially aware of the following events:

  • History Night  February 4th from 4 to 7 p.m.  We gather for a great pot-luck meal and then share in the chance to observe and compare notes on where we as a church have been.  The goal is for all of us to appreciate how we got to where we are today and what our history may be suggesting about how we live together into tomorrow.
  • ‘Gimme Some Love’ Sunday  February 12th at 9:30 a.m.  On this special Sunday Worship we will be taking time to say thank you to folks who have served in ministry through Butler UMC and to welcome new leaders to their positions in the life and ministry of the church. 
  • Ash Wednesday Services  February 22nd at Noon and 7:30 p.m.  On Ash Wednesday we will offer two services at both Noon and 7:30 p.m.  The evening service will be bilingual; Holy Communion and Ashes will be offered at both services.
  • New Preaching Series  ‘The Prodigal God’  Following a book of the same title by the Rev. Tim Keller, pastor Mike will offer sermons for the Lenten Season on the story of a man and his two sons in Luke 15:11-32.  Also, there will be small groups offered by Pastor Mike on Sundays at 11:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. in the church library.  Copies of the book will be available in church.

Hope to see you and share in this great journey of spiritual growth and ministry. 

Shalom, 
Pastor Mike
