We had a visitor Sunday who was hitch hiking to Knoxville from Michigan. Michael is a disabled vet, recovering from PTSD. He had a job he loved working twenty hours a week in a furniture store. It was his favorite job, but he had just lost his job at a furniture store, because he hurt his back. So now he is physically and mentally disabled. more…
Who invited you to church? Whom do you invite inside?
William Wallace Brown, Jr., who died Oct. 17, 2004, at age 68, was given a permanent resting place in the burial garden at St. John’s Episcopal Church, across from the White House, according to The Washington Post. St. John’s is called the “church of presidents” since nearly every U.S. leader since James Madison has worshiped there. more…

Many thanks to our new innkeeper, Joe Gleaves. He has all the qualities we need in an innkeeper. He remains cheerful and helpful on very little sleep, and he listens to ridiculous stories with patience and calm.
Join us on the second Friday of the cold weather months as we welcome our homeless guests to Room In the Inn at Andrew Price UMC. We need cooks, servers, dish washers, inn keepers, lunch makers, coffee makers (people who can make coffee, there is a coffee maker machine there, but it is not fool proof), and gentle listeners. Call Emalie or Judy if you would like more information. 615-403-8455.

Join us for four evenings of Shake it Up! Where we learn to carry out God’s recipe! We are trying something new at the request of our youth. They would like to have their own VBS before the children’s VBS. The youth have said that as much as they love working in VBS being on staff, they don’t want to miss any of the fun or the Bible stories! Yes. That’s what they said. We will study the same Bible stories the children and adults will be studying, but these lessons are named at youth. We will learn how to be ready for God’s call, give happily to God and others, believe in Jesus as God’s son, and remember Jesus’ life and teachings. While we are learning, we will also be preparing for the children to come the following week. God calls us to shake up our lives and follow Him! Come learn with us how to carry out God’s recipe.
We had the most interesting visitors to the sacred space.
We used a theme of the hobo. A hobo is someone who is homeward bound. During Holy Week we are all homeward bound. Going home to our Father who is waiting for us to come home.
