1/24/2008 Sunrise E Letter
Dear Friends,
You know, I often pause in the middle of worship to look out at all of the wonderful people that God has brought to Sunrise. I look at you and I am humbled and amazed at all that God is doing in you and through you. Together, we represent the body of Christ.
... and yet sometimes we get scared and we are reluctant to press forward as God calls us.
This weekend we are going to continue our sermon series called No Fear. You won't want to miss worship as we continue to talk about the role that fear so often plays in our lives. We'll try to give you some practical tips on overcoming those fears.
Our Children's Choir will be singing at the 10:30 service and you won't want to miss that, either!
I look forward to seeing you this weekend!
Grace and peace to you all.

We have a special event planned for the Sweetheart Dinner this year (not the same as last year). Would everyone that can, please email me a wedding picture. If you have no way to email it, you could bring it by the church and we can scan it here and give it right back to you. Even if you aren't sure if your going to attend the dinner we still would like to use your photo if you don't mind. Copies of photos run off on paper don't work very well so we would like to use a regular picture with promises to take good care of it and return it promptly.
Thanks,
Karen Wiensch - karenw@sunriseumc.com
Grace Durham is a lady that would like to attend the 9:00 am service at the Briargate Campus but she does not have transportation and can't always get the bus. She lives at 2710 Vickers Dr. #111 and her phone # is 477-3873. If you live in her area and would consider giving her a ride, please call and let her know.
