The weekly newsletter from WCUMC provides an overview of the church's activities and events for the week. It includes a bible passage from John about friendship with Jesus and how love for one another is a sign of that friendship. The newsletter also lists the various bible studies, worship services, and volunteer opportunities happening in the upcoming week, including a missions celebration banquet and needs for the local food bank. It concludes with a financial snapshot of the church's general fund and faith promise support.

1. Weekly News from WCUMC-9/30/2012
Sharing the transforming love of Jesus, across the street and around the world.
"No Longer Servants, But Friends"
“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If
you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my
Father’s commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy
may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: Love
each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay
down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I
command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his
master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I
learned from my Father I have made known to you.
You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might
go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my
name the Father will give you. This is my command: Love each other."
John 15:9-17
We have been chosen. If we remain in Him, we are His friends.
Friendship with Jesus meets two of the greatest needs of our life:
acceptance and Intimacy.
We need connection through the acceptance and intimacy that comes through
the love of Jesus in our lives. Nothing gives more powerful witness to our
friendship with Christ, and nothing is more effective in bringing others to
claim their closeness by Christ, than our love.
Next week– “Not everyone who says 'Lord, Lord"” – Matthew 7:21-23, Rick Vinther, preaching
