Dear Saints,
Beginning This Sunday October 6, 2024, I will hold monthly Confirmation Classes for our youth at 9:00 AM on the first Sunday of each month, concluding with confirmation on Easter, April 20, 2025 (no class in January).
Adults interested in joining Hamburg UMC, or deepening their faith, are welcome to join a similar 3-week study on Wednesdays after the Grow dinner. Both of these studies will use the Belong series. This series emphasizes the communal nature of the sacraments and reinforces our commitment to membership vows.
If you or your teen are interested in participating, please contact the church office at office@hamburgumc.org.
I look forward to walking with you in faith at Hamburg UMC!
In Christ’s Service,
Pastor David Nicol

ANNOUNCEMENTS
CALL TO WORSHIP
From the beginning, God entered into covenant with the human family:
with Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham and Sarah,
Moses, Deborah, Ruth and Jeremiah.
Through Baptism, Jesus Christ calls us into the covenant
and makes us ministers of Christ’s righteousness.
All Christian ministry is Christ’s work of outreaching love.
It demonstrates a common life of gratitude and devotion, witness and service, celebration, and discipleship.
All Christians are called to Christ’s servanthood in the world,
to the glory of God and for human fulfillment.
The Church, as the community of the new covenant,
participates in Christ’s ministry of grade.
It stretches out to human needs wherever service may convey God’s love and ours.
In our Ministry of servant hood is this ultimate concern.
That all may be renewed in the image of their creator,and that all christians are called to minister in deeds and words that heal and free. Amen.
