CHECK THIS OUT!

Hey, Folks!
Welcome to our new blog space. Things are really busy around Noel these days and we hope this new avenue will help us keep in touch with you AND keep you up to date on all that is going on.

The big deal on the plate at the moment is Anita Renfroe at the STRAND! It's tomorrow night and there are still some tickets available if you can break loose. She is a riot and a blessing all at the same time. You will be glad you took the time if you do get to go.

This Sunday is a big day as well. We'll celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Upper Room Class and we have a special guest speaker for the 10:30 Traditional service. Dr. David Trickett will be with us. David is the president of Iliff School of Theology in Denver, Colorado, and his father was an associate at Noel years ago.

We also have a missionary team being consecrated Sunday morning. Our team of 27 will head to Mexico to build 3 (maybe 4 - if we can raise the money!) houses in the "cardboard neighborhoods" of Juarez. Each person in worship will receive a missionary's name for which to be praying. You will also have the opportunity to purchase "blocks" to help pay for the houses as team members will be seeking donations around the church.

It's a great time to be a part of Noel UMC. Hope to see you around, Dave
