World Communion Sunday
Sunday, October 7
Starting at the International Date Line in the Pacific Ocean and continuing around the world as the day goes on, Christians of many countries anddenominations will be sharing the loaf and the cup and reflecting on their oneness in Christ on Sunday, October 7.
As a way of helping illustrate World Communion Sunday, the Worship Committee asks you to bring any Bibles in a foreign language that you may have. These Bibles will be placed on the Communion Rail for our worship service.
The Hartland United Methodist Men will meet on Sunday, October 21, at 8:00 a.m. At this meeting, plans for the Halloween Hay Ride and Fun Fest will be discussed.
All men are invited to attend this meeting and enjoy some good food and some good fellowship while serving their church and community.

2012 Livingston County Christmas Celebration
The Annual Christmas Celebration is a day for our local families in need of
assistance to experience the loving embrace of our local churches. The celebration is a fun-filled afternoon for these families with many activities. This year will be the third year Hartland UMC has been blessed to participate in this event. What you will give is a little of your time and talents, but what you will receive is a day and a holiday season filled with joy and hope.
This is a wonderful and fulfilling opportunity to bring God’s Kingdom to our neighbors in need during the Christmas season! Please see Sue LaRoy if you have any questions.
1 Timothy 6:18—
”Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.”
Read about our One Year Bible Challenge in Pastor Paul’s blog, “Bucket List for 2013 – Already?”
There are three ways to participate in reading through the Bible in one year.
- If you have an electronic device (smart phone, ipod, ipad, etc…), you can download a free Bible app called “YouVersion.tv”. Just search for “Bible” and install the free Bible app on your electronic device. Then go to reading plans and choose “The One Year Bible”. This can also be downloaded onto a windows 8 computer, at no cost. Go to www.youversion.com and follow the directions to download to your computer.
- You can purchase through the Hartland UMC church a physical copy of The One Year Bible. The cost for this will be $11.00 per copy. If you cannot afford to purchase a Bible, just ask as there is scholarship money available for a Bible. This uses the New Living Translation, which is one of the most readable translations of the Bible on the market today.
- The final way is to simply use your own Bible and we will provide a reading plan that follows The One Year Bible, so we will all be on the same plan. The key will be for you to have a Bible that is easy to read.
We plan to have “drop-in” classes each week to review and discuss the week’s readings – watch for the schedule beginning in January.
Join us on our journey!
January 6 through January 27, Pastor Paul Gruenberg will lead the Adult Class using Kay Arthur’s study, “Lord Teach Me to Study the Bible in 28 Days.” Arthur teaches the inductive Bible study method, which begins with knowing how to mark your Bible in order to really “unlock the meaning” in the scripture. This class will provide the foundation for following studies of specific books in the Bible and increase the scriptural foundation for all of the church’s activities.
The Genesis Adult Fellowship Group will be playing Crazy Bingo on Saturday, January 12th, at the home of Ron and Fran Warthman, 1497 Thorn Ridge, 517-546-4004.
Crazy Bingo works like this: Everyone attending brings a wrapped white elephant prize; when someone bingos, they select a wrapped gift and open it. After all the gifts have been unwrapped, the fun begins. When you bingo from then on, you can take whatever gift you would like!
Those who will becoming are asked to sign up on the bulletin board and to bring a snack to
share. If you have any questions, please see Fran Warthman or Darcie Westbrook.
