Williams Memorial United Methodist Church

Welcome to Williams Welcome Welcome to Williams Memorial United Methodist Church. Our church campus is located at 4000 Moores Lane on the north side of Texarkana. Moores Lane is north of I-30 between Summerhill and Richmond roads.

Worshipping We invite you to worship with us. Our services are Christ-centered, Biblically grounded, and culturally relevant. The words, music, and means of grace are all designed to empower you to grow in your relationship with God and in ministry to the world. Sunday services are in the Sanctuary at 8:15 a.m. and 10:30 a.m., and the Xperience Service is in Wesley Hall at 10:30 a.m.

Learning Sunday school classes for all ages meet at 9:15 a.m. On Sunday evenings at 5:00 p.m. there are programs for your children and youth.

Believing We enter into the family of Christ through baptism. We recognize God’s action in baptisms in other faith communities; you do not have to be re-baptized to belong to Williams. If you have not been baptized, we will be honored to baptize you.

Growing Our goal is to be like Jesus Christ in this world. We are constantly growing in grace; we have not arrived. We grow through worship, prayer, and study of God’s Word. Through large meetings, small groups, and discipleship, we are changed from our old selves to our new selves.

Belonging We hope you will consider belonging to the Williams faith community. You can talk with us after church or come by during the week. We would be honored to assist you in belonging at Williams.

Confirmation Welcome Retreats Brooks

Brian Brooks I am 34 years old. I was born and raised in Longview,

My name is

Texas. I grew up attending Wesley United Methodist Church which is now Wesley-McCabe United Methodist Church, in Longview. I was very active in the church during my childhood and youth, serving as a co-youth director, liturgist, choir member, sound technician, youth president, and general volunteer. I started dating Hannah in 1995 while we were both still in high school. She followed me two years later to Howard Payne University in Brownwood, Texas. It was at this small Baptist University (Why Baptist? They are the only ones that gave me a scholarship), that I further examined my call while attending and interning at the local United Methodist Church. I received a degree in Bachelor of Science in Exercise Sport Science with a minor in Computer Information Systems from Howard Payne in May of 2000. Hannah and I got married shortly after on June 10th. I began serving the Hardin/Morton United Methodist Churches in Missouri in July of 2000. We moved back to Texas with our new son Trace in November of 2002 and served the Soules Chapel/ Harmony United Methodist Churches in Gilmer, Texas. I enrolled in Brite Divinity School in the fall

of 2006 with much encouragement from my DS at the time, Jerry Neff. My wife and I moved to Fort Worth with our three kids Trace 10, Parker 8, Audrey 6 (present ages) so that I could fully concentrate on school. We attended a church in south Fort Worth, Genesis UMC, that averages about 425 on Sunday morning, and I had the opportunity to serve in various roles there. On October 1st 2009, I was appointed full time to White Oak UMC in White Oak, Texas. We traveled back and forth to Fort Worth until moving to White Oak in June of 2010. Shortly after arriving at White Oak, Trinity UMC in Longview was added to my charge. This spring I got the call to move to Williams Memorial UMC as an Associate Pastor. I have heard great things about Williams Memorial throughout the years and from everyone that I have told about my new appointment. My family and I look forward to living in Texarkana. I am excited to be working with all of you as we strive to make disciples for Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. I know that there are many great opportunities for ministry at Williams Memorial, and I look forward to being in ministry with you!

Therefore, it is very important to have them blessed, along with reminding our children of God’s presence in our lives. This blessing is not limited to backpacks or lunch boxes. Bring anything your child uses that is important to him or her so these too can be blessed. You can also be a blessing to someone else’s child by purchasing a new backpack and bringing it to the church that day. The new backpacks will be distributed to kids who need them.

Williams School

If you had an opportunity to visit the preschool halls during Independence Week, I’m sure you couldn’t help but notice all the red, white and blue crafts and decorations bringing our halls to life. Our children recently celebrated and explored the concept of freedom by participating in an Independence Parade and learning more about how our flag is a sacred symbol of the many freedoms American citizens enjoy every day. We discussed a variety of freedoms, including such things as the freedom to come to church and worship, the freedom to choose what we want to be when we grow up, and even the freedom to choose what books we read and toys we play with everyday. www.welcometowilliams.org

Not only did our students learn about the various types of freedoms that our American flag represents, but during our chapel time they also discovered that freedom is not actually free. We explained to our children that many Americans have been willing to bravely serve for our country to secure the many freedoms we have daily access to as American citizens. Most importantly, we discussed with our children that the greatest freedom that we celebrate as Christians every day of the year is the freedom we have through Jesus Christ. Although the penalty for sin is death, we explored the teachings of the Bible that reveal how Jesus loved each of us so much that he sacrificed himself and

suffered death on the cross to pay the price for our sins. We talked about how the cross serves as a symbol to remind us daily of this freedom. Due to this tremendous sacrifice, as Christians we have the freedom of eternal life in Heaven instead of everlasting death. As our children at Williams grow and mature, it is our hope they will rejoice in the freedoms of both country and eternal life, appreciate the tremendous sacrifices that have been made to pay for such freedoms, and carry a passionate love for both country and Jesus Christ deep in their hearts. Happy Fourth of July to all from the Williams School!!!

Jennifer Day

Jennifer Day - Communications I have grown up at Williams, so it is great to be not only a part of this wonderful church family, but now to be a part of the staff. I graduated from Arkansas State in December with a graphic design degree and I must say that this job opened up at the perfect time. That’s when you know God is listening and does answer prayers. I am working in communications and will be in charge of the Insight magazine, the WMUMC website, facebook and twitter updates, and the weekly sermon podcast on iTunes. Follow WMUMC for news, upcoming events, and great things that are happening in our church.

Laila Al-Dubais - College and Young Adults I graduated from Centenary College in Shreveport, Louisiana in May of 2011 with a Bachelor’s of Arts in Psychology and Dance. I am currently attending Texas A&M- Texarkana working on my Master’s of Science in Counseling Psychology. A main goal of mine is to create a place where young adults can go to worship and have fun. I believe that being at Texas A&M- Texarkana will help students from the college feel comfortable attending our church. I appreciate the opportunity to be a part of this ministry and will do my best. I am thrilled to step in as the new Director of College Ministries and honored to have been chosen to lead our college group in the church that I have called home for the past 23 years. The connections I have made throughout my years at Williams have shaped me to become the person I am today.

Russell Martin - Director of Student Ministries You may be looking a the photo and be thinking, “Wait... I know that guy!” Yes, yes you do. For the past 6 years I have been serving as the Xperience Service director and Director of Communications here at Williams. As of June 5th I accepted a new position as the Director of Student Ministries. I have been involved in youth ministry for over 18 years and have worked with camps, retreats, churches and youth ministries. Here at Williams, I have led the youth band, traveled on trips, and helped with the youth group small groups. I am looking forward to working with our students as the Director of Student Ministries, and am excited about the possibilities and plans that are in our future.

Fine Arts Camp Photos

Fine Arts Camp was a great success. “Music Around the World” was our theme. Thirty children participated and ten adults helped Amy Kirk and Sherri Waters celebrate all the ways we celebrate God through music and all the arts. We learned Psalm 100, played Orff-Kodaly instruments, danced, learned about the Williams Food Pantry, learned manners as hosts of our church so new folks can be comfortable when they are here. Vickie Al-Dubais played organ and explained how the organ works. Eleanor Boyd played accordion and shared music from many countries. We also made prayer boxes with reminders inside to help us remember things we would like to pray for. We have buttons to remember specific people, butterflies for nature, or to represent our transformation into relationship with God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. There are many more items in the boxes. Ask your child to explain what is in their box, and assist them if they want to add other things to represent prayers they are praying. Please help your child with remembering Psalm 100. They can show you the motions that help them remember. The scripture stored in our minds and hearts can help us through good times and bad. We learned songs from Nigeria, South Africa, and Korea, as well as one of the songs that will be part of Vacation Bible School, so these children can be leaders on July 22 as we do the Kickoff to VBS. I will be Mrs. Noah for that morning’s worship service, and Pastor Brian will be the story teller. I can barely wait to see what Sue Camp does this year with Operation Overboard. We will have a great time! See you there!

Student Ministry So Far This Summer The youth have been busy this summer. We started off by hosting the District Youth Rally and SYNC youth mission trip. During the mission trip, we built a wheelchair ramp and painted 4 other ramps. We also built modules to be used for future ramps. During June we also went to district camp at Lakeview Methodist Conference Center. While there, our youth had a blast meeting new friends, learning in Bible study small groups, sliding down the water slide, hanging out at the ropes course and enjoying the beautiful outdoors. We enjoyed our weekly activities during June. These include Sunday morning Sunday School, our Monday Lunch Bunch where we meet at a local restaurant, and Thirsty Thursdays at Sonic. The next page has just a few of the photos from our adventures so far this summer. For more photos check out our new youth website, www.williamsstudentminsitry.org VBS Helpers Needed VBS is right around the corner, and we need your help.

My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness. - (2 Corinthians 12:9 NRSV) Do you ever feel weak? I do. It is not a good feeling. Strength, ability and power feel much better. Paul writes to the church in Corinth telling them “power is made perfect in weakness.” The church felt weak most of the time. They were a small community in the midst of ancient and powerful societies. They probably felt life was stacked against them, and facing lions did not feel safe at all. Paul identified with them in that feeling. Life did not seem just or forgiving. Paul’s weaknesses were obvious. His prayers were not always answered “yes” by God. Sometimes he felt disappointed but not destroyed. He may have been knocked down, but he was not knocked out. It is supposed to be that way. It is not our power or our strength. It is God’s grace and God’s power. When we put our weakness and inability together with God’s overwhelming grace, our weakness is completed or made perfect. God’s grace is sufficient for every hurt and failure in your life. Let God’s love be made perfect in your heart and life. See you in worship this Sunday in the community of faith.
