The class began Sunday, September 14th and last for six weeks, concluding on October 19th. The class is held in the Pastor’s Office on Sunday mornings (9:15 a.m. - 10:00 a.m.). Please note that the starting time is earlier than the normal Sunday School times of 9:30 - 10:15 a.m. Update on Refinancing of Church’s Loan to FUM Foundation We have received "favorable confirmation" on our request to add $100,000.00 to our current loan with the Foundation (present balance $179,000.00) to the Foundation. The District Superintendent reviewed the loan request and added his signature of approval. The Foundation reviewed and approved the request. The new loan will close sometime between mid September, to the end of the month. We will keep all informed of the
projects, (repairs and renovations), and the time tables. Stewardship As you may remember last month we asked all to pray about prayerfully considering giving to retire our mortgaged debt. Please keep that in your prayers. But the outreach and ministries of our church continue to require our financial support. Please examine your giving to insure you have kept up with your pledge. And consider additional giving in order to reach those in our community that need to know about the Grace and Forgiveness available through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Our Great Commission is to be fishers of men. Up-Coming Events: Quick look at our calendar...

Help Keep the Fellowship Hall Clean Please help keep our Fellowship Hall clean. If you have a meeting or event using theFellowship Hall and/or kitchen please clean up any food, crumbs or spills on the counters and floors and take out the garbage to the dumpster outside. This must be done at every event. We want to provide a clean space for everyone to use. Looking Ahead
In addition to ministering to the congregation and adult choir through music I see two potential areas of musical growth at Seffner FUMC. One is developing an excellent music program for children. We have the kids and we have adults who are willing to work with them in the area of music. Once a quality children’s music program is established, the next step would be to develop a student music program. That way the children’s choir feeds the youth choir, which then feeds the adult choir. The second area is handbells. Seffner owns a quality 3 octave set of Schulmerich hand bells (purchased new today would cost $10,150. My understanding is that they have not been utilized in more than 15 years. We would love to put them back into use in the area of worship, outreach,and music reading skills. In order to work toward these goals, there are some immediate needs. First, is prayer. Please pray for us as we begin to cast a vision of what these areas of music ministry will look like. Second, is training. If you would be willing to help sponsor an adult to attend training in one of these areas, please let me know. Third, is service and repair on the handbells. The cost of this would be approximately $1,500. If you desire to contribute to this (above your regular tithe and offering), please mark your donation “handbell repair.”
Thank you for the opportunity to serve you in the area of music.
