Barons Family Fun Day on Sunday May 21st
Join us for an afternoon of fellowship and baseball on Sunday, May 21st at Regions Field when the Birmingham Barons take on the Pensacola Blue Wahoos. Sponsored by the children’s ministry and the Trussville Methodist Consignment Sale, tickets are $10 each which includes hamburgers/grilled chicken, baked beans, chips, potato salad, cookies and a drink! There is a $40 family cap (immediate families please). Where else can you get such a bargain! Rain or Shine we still have lunch.
We’ve rented out the Midtown Party deck in the outfield first base side.. You can spend time watching the game and socialize with your family and friends. To reserve your tickets, please contact beth@fumctrussville.com and let her know how many tickets. Children 2 and under are free. Checks can be made to FUMC Trussville; be sure to note Barons game on the check. Tickets MUST be pre-purchased as this allows for us to plan properly for food. Invite your friends!
Jesus Feeds Five Thousand Matthew 14:13-21; Mark 6:30-44; Luke 9:10-17; John 6:1-15
“Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks to God, and distributed them to the people. Afterward he did the same with the fish. And they all ate as much as they wanted” (John 6:11).
A crowd of over 5,000 has gathered to hear Jesus speak. Jesus’ disciples think they should send everyone home to eat. Instead, Jesus does the unexpected. He takes five loaves of bread and two fish and turns it into enough food for everyone—plus leftovers!
Family Together Time
Have some fun as a family. Try this surprising experiment to remember that Jesus does the unexpected.
- Put a new, unwrapped bar of Ivory brand soap on a large paper plate.
- Cut the soap into four pieces.
- Put the plate of soap in a microwave for one minute, and watch what happens.Wow!
- Take the plate out of the microwave and let the soap cool for about 30 seconds before touching it.
- Compare what you expected to happen and what actually happened, and discuss how that reminds us that Jesus does the unexpected!
Talk About This…Unexpected things are also called “surprises.” Tell about a surprising thing that happened to you and whether or not you liked it.
REMINDER SUNDAY, APRIL 30TH IS FIFTH SUNDAY. WE'LL MEET IN THE CLC AT 10 AM FOR A COMBINED WORSHIP.
