During the 4-weeks you will get an opportunity to meet the SUMC pastors, meet other families, meet small group (Bible Studies, Grow Group and Sunday morning classes) facilitators and hear about current opportunities to “grow” in your faith, and hear about serving opportunities around the campus and around the world.

Sugarloaf Kids Information:
From Lori Cotter, Director of Sugarloaf Kids Ministry
Happy 2011! Our very own Mr. Tony started the New Year off with a new resolution and I thought it a worthy one and one worth sharing. He is sharing 365 Photos & Stories. Here is an insert from his first posting:
So today is 1.1.11. The very first day of a brand new year. The day that signifies new beginnings for many. Countless resolutions have been made. People resolve to lose weight. Renew relationships. Become stronger spiritually. Overall, resolve to be better people. For any of these resolutions to stand a fighting chance it requires motivation. It requires being able to motivate and encourage yourselves at times. Sometimes your goal will require you to get up off of the couch, take a shower and get your day going…. Even if it is rainy and gloomy outside. I prefer warm sunny days. However, I hope that I remember that the first day of this year…1.1.11… was a dark, rainy and gloomy day. A reminder that life isn’t always sunny…. but it’s always worth living. And you can’t live it if you won’t get up and GO! Blessings, tg
Thank you Tony. I am very excited to see where you take us this year! You can following Mr. Tony at http://tonygenovese.tumblr.com/post/2555540743/so-today-is-1-1-11-the-very-first-day-of-a-brand?ref=nf and click on the “Follow” button on the top right corner of the page.
