PRAYER OF THE WEEK - NEW SCHOOL YEAR
Father,
We thank you for the opportunity to begin this new school year, and we ask that you bless the students, faculty, and student families that make our school a great place. We pray that you will guide us in your ways, so that we will seek your will in everything that we do, 
and love others as you love us. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
David Bennett - www.churchyear.net

NOTES ON THE SCRIPTURES
Jeremiah 18:1-11. At the potter's house: "Look, I am a potter shaping evil against you. ... Turn now, all of you from your evil way, and amend your ways and your doings."

Psalm 139:1-6, 13-18 (UMH 854). God knows us completely, inside and out. Thus God can both judge us and show mercy toward us when we repent. 

Philemon 1-21. Paul writes to persuade a slaveholder (Philemon) to emancipate his slave, Onesimus.

Luke 14:25-33. Jesus lays out the non-negotiables for those who want to be his disciples: hate family and life, carry the crossbar of a Roman crucifix as you follow Jesus, and give up all your possessions.

HOLIDAY FOOD BASKETS
We have a goal of providing 40 needy families with turkeys for Thanksgiving/Christmas. You can donate by check. Make your check out to  Beechfield UMC (put turkey on the memo line). You can donate cash. Just place your money in the pew envelope and write "turkey" on the envelope.  Or you can click on the button below and donate by PayPal. Again, put "turkey" in the note. However you donate, we appreciate your help. Thank-you.


​DISASTER AID

One way to help communities stricken by disaster is through the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR). UMCOR provides humanitarian relief and disaster response in the United States and internationally. Our efforts are targeted in places where natural disasters, war, or conflict have done so much damage that communities are unable to recover on their own. While UMCOR is not a first-response organization
, we stand ready to accompany communities in need over the long haul of their recovery, until they are well on their way to establishing a “new normal” after a crisis.Click here to help support the work of UMCOR
