    GENEROUS LOVING. GENEROUS LIVING.


    A Note from Ann Covington, MUMC Member
    My reasons for continuing to support Missouri United Methodist Church are numerous. The one word
    that seems best to capture the essence of my thinking about the answer to the question of why I give
    is gratitude. I am thankful, and I want to give back.
    A little preface: Life as part of the church, as a child, a Presbyterian, was one of my parents gifts to
    my brother and me. As many of our generation, we learned and sang our way through the King James
    and Holy, Holy, Holy. Little did we then understand how deeply Gods presence, how faith and hope,
    would be our linchpin for life. My parents and grandparents left that inheritance. I am daily grateful.
    Since 1977 Missouri United Methodist Church has been a central place and the body corporate for
    helping me to keep the linchpin I inherited. The people of this church share customs of worship and
    of helping others. We share commitment to this church itself. I experience Gods grace here in the
    words and deeds of fellow travelers. Here I am often able to begin a week hoping to become a little
    less imperfect. As they have for many others, those who stand alongside us in this congregation in
    times of joy and of sadness have gently guided and upheld me. There are those no longer among us,
    clergy and congregants alike, who have done the same. Marriages, my own and my familys, baptisms,
    confirmations,and, yes, memorial services mark part of the fabric of this Missouri United Methodist
    Church. The inheritance continues. Again, gratitude is in my heart.
    There is something else for which to be thankful: it is not only I who benefit. Our church serves many
    other kinds of needs. Missouri United Methodist Church is the center for many ministriesstudents,
    small groups, classes, mission journeys near and far, community assistance. Where do so many
    organizations, as well as individuals in need, come for assistance? Missouri United Methodist Church.
    We are connected to each other and to those beyond our walls through these ways of giving and
    serving.The reach of our church will continue to grow beyond our physical walls. Furthermore, I have
    confidence that our shared ways of determining how our gifts to this church will be used is generally
    superior to individual decisions. I trust our church to be a faithful steward of what we give and share
    together. For this trust, I am grateful.
    Missouri United Methodist Church is a community that was here before us, and it will be here when
    we are gone. I believe that our commitment to God through this church is somewhat of a covenant.
    In gratitude for those who came before us and guided us and in thanksgiving for those who stand
    alongside now, I want to try to repay this inheritance. As the saying goes, I want to pay it forward.
    I am grateful.

    A Walk in Her Shoes: A Poverty


    Simulation

    Wednesday, Dec. 7 from 6-8pm at


    Missouri UMC
    Free dinner served at 5:15pm
    The poverty simulation experience is
    designed to help us begin to understand
    what it might be like to live in a typical
    low-income family trying to survive from
    month to month. It is a simulation, not
    a game. The object is to sensitize participants to the
    realities faced by people who have low incomes.

    2 MISSOURI UNITED METHODIST CHURCH

    November 10, 2016 - Vol. 29, No. 41

    SATURDAY: 1 Timothy 6:6-10 (MSG) Regrets


    When we lose our way, as the scripture suggests is possible, we inevitably have
    regrets. Although as human beings we often make mistakes, we should strive to
    live a life that is positive in the eyes of God and that leads to fulfillment and
    not regret.
    PRAYER: Help me, God, and guide me to live a life in thanksgiving for the
    blessings of life and with a focus on what truly matters.

    FRIDAY: 1 Timothy 6:6-10 (MSG) Obsession


    Some who read this passage would say that having wealth is wrong, but a closer
    look tells us that is not the case. Having wealth is not in itself intrinsically bad.
    But being obsessed with accumulation can be our downfall.
    CONSIDER: Consider your relationship with money. Is it part of your life, or the
    controller of your life?

    THURSDAY: 1 Timothy 6:6-10 (MSG) Focus


    This passage warns against having an unstable focus. When we focus our lives
    on something that is transient, we leave ourselves open to disappointment and
    failure.
    QUESTION: What is stable in your life? What is transient in your life? What do
    you need to do to focus on what is really important?

    WEDNESDAY: 1 Timothy 6:6-10 (MSG) Necessities


    Scripture goes on to say that we should be content if we have food to eat and
    shoes on our feet. Have I interpreted some of my wants to be needs?
    REFLECTION: Has my standard of living changed over the years; if so, how? If I
    have more than I need, should I share; if so, how?

    TUESDAY: 1 Timothy 6:6-10 (MSG) Simplicity


    This weeks scripture tells us that wealth is the rich simplicity of being
    yourself before God.
    QUESTION: How can I be myself before God? Are there times when I am not
    honest before God?

    MONDAY: 1 Timothy 6:6-10 (MSG) Wealth


    When we think of wealth, we automatically think of money and possessions.
    But life-lessons may teach us differently as in song lyrics like The best things
    in life are free or Money cant buy me love.
    REFLECTION: Think about the things in your life that are the best. List the
    treasured aspects of your life that do not revolve around possessions.

    The Message (MSG) Copyright 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 2000, 2001, 2002 by Eugene H. Peterson

    But if its only money these leaders are after, theyll self-destruct in no time. Lust
    for money brings trouble and nothing but trouble. Going down that path, some lose
    their footing in the faith completely and live to regret it bitterly ever after.

    A devout life does bring wealth, but its the rich simplicity of being yourself before
    God. Since we entered the world penniless and will leave it penniless, if we have
    bread on the table and shoes on our feet, thats enough.

    Scripture: 1 Timothy 6:6-10 (MSG)
