Welcome to Shalimar UMC We are so glad you’ve chosen to worship with us this week! Hearing assistance devices are available for the Sanctuary. Please see an usher to obtain these aids. Enjoy fellowship, coffee, and snacks in the Family Life Center Gym between worship services.

O ur Visio n Christ-centered, multigenerational, family and community relevant ministries through worship, discipleship, and mission.

O ur Missi on REA C H, T EA C H, and SEN D We REACH out to our congregation, community, and the world to TEACH the word of God as provided in the Holy Scripture, and SEND our members and missionaries to be witnesses to God’s grace and His promise of eternal life to us through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Wors hi p Services Break F re e Our Saturday evening service begins at 6:00pm in the Family Life Center.

This transformational service involves modern music, multimedia, and a style of preaching that is practical and participatory.

Traditions At 8:00 and 11:00am Sunday mornings in the Sanctuary we celebrate through the rich traditions of our faith such as hymns led by organ and piano, seasonal vestments, and traditional Methodist liturgy. Our Chancel Choir leads the 11:00am service.

Conn ect At 9:30am Sunday mornings in the Sanctuary we engage in a four-fold service of gathering praise, service of the Word, Holy Communion with candle stations for prayer, and sending forth. The music is a blend of contemporary praise songs and upbeat hymns.

Fre edom At 11:07am Sunday mornings in the Family Life Center Gym we worship through modern music, multimedia, and a teaching style message in a non-traditional atmosphere. We come to God as we are to experience the freedom of not having to stay that way.

Philip’s Focus Around Shalimar UMC This Week This week our church had some good news! We are delighted to welcome Scott Newbold to our staff as the interim Church Administrator. Interim means Scott is stepping in for an undetermined period of time to help us until a permanent administrator can be hired by the SPR Committee. Scott and his wife Janet are longtime members of Shalimar and their kids have all grown up here. We thank Scott for his willingness to offer his gifts and help fill the void during this time of transition.

This coming weekend is also filled with wonderful opportunities for our church. It begins Saturday as we host a Beach Baptism and Reaffirmation of Baptism at Beasley Park 9am (weather permitting). If you are interested in exploring the next step of your discipleship, our Discover Shalimar Class on July 14th can help teach you how to become a member of Shalimar United Methodist Church.

One more reminder: Our next healing service is this Sunday, July 14th, at 12:30 in the sanctuary. If you are in search of healing physically, emotionally, financially, or spiritually, come and allow others to pray for you. We will claim the promise of James 5:13-14 “Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord.”

How about some church joy? Did I say ice cream? There is a great relationship building opportunity just ahead this Sunday at 6pm called Sunday Night Live. This annual summer event is hosted by Fun and Fellowship and is for the whole church! Come and enjoy! I did say ice cream!

Hope to see you this weekend as we seek to learn more about GROW on our discipleship roadmap!

Have a great week!

Shalom, Philip

CHECK IT OUT!!!

“The time has come, the Walrus said, to talk of many things” (The Walrus and the Carpenter, by Lewis Carroll). And indeed, there are at least several things to lift up to you from the Library.  We need children’s books in good condition to share with kids at our upcoming Back to School Bash on August 4. Drop them off at the Library anytime during office hours!  Kindly look for “forgot to return” library books and/or DVD’s and drop them off no questions asked! I am especially looking for the DVD “The Case for Christ.”  It’s summer spruce-up time, so if you can spare an hour or two these next two weeks to help, please contact me at portanne33@yahoo.com. You may just leave with a book or two for your own library!  We ALWAYS have Bibles and devotionals to give away. Being able to GIVE to someone can be a way to disciple others. Let’s get together about that! In the meantime, if you just need some summer reading or DVD watching, CHECK US OUT!

Contribution Statements Dear Valued Contributors, Quarterly contribution statements are being sent out via email.

If you have any questions, please call the Finance Office at 651-0721.

Blessings for Children is an SUMC mission outreach to community families with children ages newborn through fifth grade.

We have been operating since January 2019 out of the #10 2nd Street home behind the church, and we are open every Wednesday from noon to 3:30 p.m. Volunteers share God’s love and serve His children by providing clothing, personal care items, and school supplies.

During the month of May, we were able to bless 41 children which brought the number of children served since our January opening to over 70. With your support, we have shared diapers, socks, underwear, t-shirts, toilet paper and other needed personal care items, along with school supplies.

Every third Sunday of the month, you can bless the ministry and children by dropping any of these items in the narthex or Family Life Center lobby (a complete list of items can be found at sumc.io/blessings). We are happy to shop for the items for you if you would rather make a financial donation to the church (designate it for Blessings for Children).

Through this ministry we are making a difference to these children and their families as we share God’s love, pray with them, invite them to participate in our church’s activities and provide real and needed help. Your prayers, your donations, and your gifts, are so appreciated, and we invite you to please stop by on Wednesday afternoons to see what God is doing through this ministry that you support! We would also welcome you as a volunteer!
