1. Weekly News from WCUMC-10/14/2012
Sharing the transforming love of Jesus, across the street and around the world.
"The Poor You Will Always
Have With You"
“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are
cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I
was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave
me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I
needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and
you did not look after me.’
“They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or
a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’
“He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the
least of these, you did not do for me.’
“Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to
eternal life.”
Matthew 25:41-46
Compassion is the heart, the core, of who Jesus was and what He was
about, and Jesus reflected the heart of His Heavenly Father.
Whenever any of us oppress the poor, pay no attention to their plight, go
our calloused way . . . we are opposing God and we will pay a price.
If your judgment were today and you were judged on the basis of your
concern for the poor, would Jesus say to you, "Come, inherit the
Kingdom," or would He say, "Depart from me".
Jesus is no longer with us in the flesh, but whenever we do good for

2. the poor, we do good for Him.

Geocaching
Saturday, October 20
Geocaching is a treasure hunting game where
you use a GPS to hide and seek containers
with other participants in the activity. The
containers have trinkets inside them. The
idea is you take one thing out and replace it
with something different.
We will meet at 2:30 pm at a local place, to
be determined. This will be a fun event for
all ages. Please sign up in the Narthex if you are interested. If you have
questions, call Kandra Edwards at 206-890-4140 or
dustinkandra@gmail.com.

7. OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
Once again, we will be participating in the annual event. Pick up your
vinyl shoeboxes in the Gathering Place. Take the time to read the gift
suggestions for filling the shoebox and read the DO NOT INCLUDE list.
You may take as many shoeboxes as you plan to fill. Thanks.
