Edna Ruth Medart Cowan
Dear FUMC Taylor Family and Friends,
I am both saddened and blessed to inform you that our beloved sister in Christ, Edna Ruth Medart Cowan, has died Monday night, October 2, 2017. Edna was a Methodist all her life and and she would often refer to other Methodists as “Good Methodists.” Her niece, Jane, asked Edna if there were any bad Methodists, and she replied, “No.” Jane said, “I guess that makes Edna a good Methodist also.” She was a long-time resident of Taylor, est. 65 years and a
member of FUMC Taylor for the same length of time. Edna has now returned home to be with God.

How has God provided and blessed you this week? What is your wilderness?
Whatever is your wilderness, and despite your whining and complaining,
God blesses you anyway, and does so abundantly.
How can you share God’s abundant grace and blessings with others?
