 Weekly Challenge

Moses was very persistent that God leads the way.

Are you being persistent enough that God leads your life? 

Have you insisted that God journeys with you, guides your
thoughts, conversations, family, and every aspect of your life?

Where and how have you re-discover(ed) the presence of God?
In our darkest hour and wandering in the wilderness, we ask “Is God with us or not?”
God is neither a quick fix or solution waiting to happen.
Rather, God is always present and joins us in our struggles and challenges in life.
We’re given an opportunity to re-discover the presence of God.
Exodus 17:1-7

Edna Ruth Cowan

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.

The visitation and funeral service for Edna are as follow:

In the last words of Edna, “God be with you.”

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?
