The Day and Hour Unknown

³⁶ “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,^[a] but only the Father. ³⁷ As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. ³⁸ For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; ³⁹ and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. ⁴⁰ Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. ⁴¹ Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.
⁴² “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. ⁴³ But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. ⁴⁴ So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.
⁴⁵ “Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time? ⁴⁶ It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns. ⁴⁷ Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. ⁴⁸ But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, ‘My master is staying away a long time,’ ⁴⁹ and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards. ⁵⁰ The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. ⁵¹ He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Ice Cream Social To Kick Off Plans For a "Tinney Chapel UMC Summit,"
Inspired By The East District's Recent Small-Membership Church Summit

The idea started at our church's most recent Administrative Council meeting.

A Tinney Chapel Summit?

Yes, why not?

Kind of like the Small-Membership Church Summit held recently in the East District, where Conference Leaders, Rev. Jim Ozier and Rev. Keith Boone, guided a host of clergy and lay people in their plans to vitalize or re-vitalize their congregations.

The motion was made by Brandi Putman, our church's Recording Secretary, and one of those lay people who were motivated by the doings at the Small-Membership Church Summit. She believed the idea and the format could work just as well in a single church: Tinney Chapel, for instance.

She discussed it with others, some of whom remembered attending the historic Vision and Values Workshop at Tinney Chapel in 2000, an event which galvanized our church into rural ministry activities previously undreamed of. In just four years, by 2004, Tinney Chapel had been awarded the coveted Marvin T. Judy Award not once, but TWICE, as best in rural ministry for churches of our size in the entire North Texas Conference.

Pretty soon, Brandi was even more certain that her idea had real merit, so she called an informal planning meeting at Ganny's Pie Shop, owned and operated by Tinney Chapel's own Georgia Goggans. There, a small group of motivated lay members encouraged Brandi and shared their own ideas, with the result culminating in an agenda for further motivation.

That would be the Pre-Summit ice cream social, mentioned earlier.

It's scheduled for Thursday, June 7 at 6 pm in the Family Life Center and everyone should plan on attending. 

To help prepare for Tinney Chapel's future, Brandi suggests that each of us bring a tub of ice cream, a topping or cookies, or cake.

As a parting thought, to convince each of us to attend, she adds:

"We have a special activity planned!!!"

Be there. The future of our church is in our hands!
