Pastor Letter
Thursday, May 2
Dear Friends,
The 2024 General conference of the UMC wraps up tomorrow. I want to spend some time talking about the conference and what it means to Troy First. I will be Live on Facebook Saturday night at 7:30 with a “conference wrap-up” Vespers. (https://www.facebook.com/fumctroy) Important things happened at this conference, too important to try to capture in a few lines. If you want to email questions to me, I will be happy to try to answer them on Saturday night.
This Sunday we begin a series called “Tell Me the Stories of Jesus.” Storytelling and narrative are a big part of the ministry of Jesus, and we will spend the month of May looking at a few of these stories. Majorie Kumar has been training as a storyteller and she will be bringing the scripture each week in “story” form. I am always excited to find new ways to explore the teachings of Jesus and see what these stories mean in our lives today. We begin with the story of the True Vine.
Sunday is also the Crop Walk - (it starts at 1pm at Big Beaver UMC). You can go to www.crophungerwalk.org/troymi to sign up to walk with us, or to donate to one of our two teams. (Thank you to those who have already made a donation…)
From the Crop Walk to the Youth Mission Trip to our continuing work in the community…. great things are happening at Troy Frist. God is on the move here; come be a part of that movement.
See you Sunday.
Grace and Peace,
Pastor Myra
