February 1 Bulletins
Dear Friends,
January will be over so very soon, and Lent will begin in February. Our observance of the Lenten season will begin with the Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper on February 17th. Everyone is invited to come to HCUMC for some delicious pancakes and wonderful fellowship. Then HCUMC will host the Ash Wednesday service the next day on February 18th at 7:00 pm. If you have never attended an Ash Wednesday service, you might want to come this year; the service can be very moving and inspirational. And don’t forget the Scripture Memorization Classes on February 11th and 25th . Diane is excited to lead this class and help us to memorize verses that we select. Until then, you’ll find this week’s bulletin and insert at the link above. See you in church. God Bless.

"A Great Light Dawns"
by Rev. Diane Olson-Schroeder
Isaiah 9: 1-4 & Matthew 4: 12-23
Isaiah 9: 2
The people walking in darkness
have seen a great light;
On those living in the land of darkness
a light has dawned.
Matthew 4: 16 (Matthew lived 800 years after Isaiah. He quoted Isaiah.)
"... the people living in darkness have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned."
Matthew 4: 19 & 20 (Matthew applied those words of Isaiah to the light of Matthew's time with Jesus.)
"Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will send you out to fish for people." At once they left their nets and followed him.
THE LIGHT OF DAWN–
HOPE, God's Kingdom–
WAS THEN AND IS NOW!
ISAIAH saw and DWELLED IN THE LIGHT.
MATTHEW and THE DISCIPLES saw
and DWELLED IN THE LIGHT.
It is our turn to light our candles of hope.
TODAY WE CAN LIGHT OUR WORLD.
Today's Benediction:
Jesus, the light of the world, calls us to follow. Go and tell the news of God's love. Cast the nets of grace wide, that all may see the glory o God! Let us go forth to shine with God's light! Amen.
