Mid-Week Update

                                                                           June 10th 2026

 

     Welcome to the Mid-Week Update! I hope that you are having a wonderful week! Spring has sprung and we are experiencing the wonder of creation  around us. It is now time to step outside and experience all that God  provides for us.

​

     With the death of Moses, God gave Joshua the leadership of the Hebrew people. He was commanded to fulfill the promises of God and lead the people of Israel into the Land of Milk and Honey. He told them to be “Strong and Courageous” on that day. He knew that whatever they faced, God would be there among them. Through God’s leadership, the chosen people took possession of the land and fulfilled God’s purpose. Joshua’s last words to the Hebrew people can be found in Joshua 24:15b,

​

                              “As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” (NRSV)

​

     Joshua put his faith and trust in God’s leadership. He wanted God’s plan, will, and purpose to be fulfilled. In a similar way, the Tawas Methodist Church is facing some important decisions at this time. As a Family of

Faith, we are considering the possibility of our church joining the Global Methodist Denomination and the replacement of our existing pastor. Making decisions of this scale can be difficult, but as people of faith, let us pray for God’s will to be done. The Holy Spirit is present and active within this Family of Faith and it is our desire to be faithful followers of His will.

​

     God will be always be present and leading with any decisions that we make as the Body of Christ. Let us place ourselves in God’s hands and be strong and courageous as we continue to follow the Spirit’s leading. When God is ready, we will be ready and able to follow the Lord!

 

May God Bless You!

Pastor Dan

                                                         

Scripture Lesson:  John 8:12

 

     “ Again, Jesus spoke to them” I am the light of the world. Whoever

follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.” (NRSV)
