First United Methodist Church Trussville
ACOLYTE REFRESH/TRAINING, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 31 AT 4:45 P.M.
Hello acolytes and prospective acolytes!
We are having a training/refresher on Wednesday, August 31st at 4:45 p.m. in the Sanctuary. If your child is even interested in serving we’d love to have him/her attend. Pastor Bill will be joining us.
This training is for any child wanting to begin acolyting as well as current ones; Bill will share with acolytes his vision for their role in the service.
As United Methodist we commit ourselves to serve our local church through our prayers, our presence, our gifts, our service, and our witness. This is a great opportunity for your children start serving.
CONFIRMANDS: Serving as an acolyte will be part of your service as a confirmand. Please come join us!

"Raising a Princess, 8 Essential Values to Teach your Daughter" Parent study
"Raising A Princess, 8 Essential Virtues to Teach Your Daughters" book study, begins Wednesday, September 7th at 6:15 p.m. in the Seekers classroom and will be led by Hal and Joy Riddle. Books can be purchased at Lifeway. (I found on-line at Amazon)
The Bible’s frequently referenced chapter of Proverbs 31 defines godly womanhood. In Raising a Princess, written by greatly respected child advocate John Croyle asks, "How do you equip a daughter to become the kind of woman who is described in Proverbs 31?"
Raising a Princess begins with the end in mind. The end is the Proverbs 31 woman; Croyle keeps her squarely in view as he looks at what parenting techniques help the reader to raise a princess who will someday be a queen.
