EXTRA SPECIAL NEWS FOR ATONEMENT METHODIST CHURCH! On Saturday, July 6th, Atonement purchased a 2022 Ford Transit van with 12 seats and lots of extra features that were suggested in the planning over the past 4 years for this big purchase. With some 52,000 miles on the odometer, the van is in almost excellent shape! In fact, we were one of three buyers interested in obtaining the van. Thanks be to God that our salesperson, Larry, had a “good feeling about us” and since we were going to pay for the van in full- he helped us get everything in order to buy the van within 72 hours. Thanks to all who worked on making this van ministry become a reality; especially Amanda Lang who found the van and orchestrated the deal! ALL expenses for the van are being covered by the inheritance money of Shirley Wilson, including five years of maintenance, gas, insurance, etc. The van has been paid for in full and also has an extended warranty, as well.

HOLY SPIRIT SUMMER SERMON SERIES has been focusing on the Fruit of the Spirit and one thing we have learned for sure: is that LOVE is the source of the 8 other gifts of joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control! “And now these three remain, faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” (1 Corinthians 13:13) Let the world know you are a disciple of Jesus by your love! And may God give increase to the fruit in your life!
