Quotes From My Favorite Author (Part 2)

            This is my first blog post of the new year.  I probably should write something very bold and forward-looking.  The thing is, though, that even though it’s January 2, it’s still kind of a holiday.  I mean, there’s no mail today, the banks are closed, the Rose Parade and the bowl games are all today.  This just doesn’t feel like a day for a bold, forward-looking blog.

            So, instead, I’m going to finish my look back at things I’ve said in 2011.  One of the things I try to do on facebook is come up with some clever ways to invite people to church.  So, here are some of my top church advertisements on facebook for 2011:

--Lots of schools are having homecoming—why not come home to church?  The United Methodist Churches of the Wheatland Parish would love to welcome you.

--He once read the entire Bible—including the Apocrypha—in ten minutes.  He once performed a baptism and a funeral—at the same time.  He is…the Most Interesting Pastor in the World.  “I don’t always preach sermons, but when I do, I preach in the United Methodist Churches of the Wheatland Parish.  Stay faithful, my friends.”

--GODCO.  A fifteen minute sermon could save fifteen percent or more of your soul.

--Occupy the United Methodist Church!  Rallies Sunday in Onida at 8:30, Agar at 9:30, and Gettysburg at 11:00.

--The Wheatland Parish invites you to experience worship in 4G:  Grace, Guidance, Gratitude, and Glory.

            --Get to a better state:   a state of grace.

--Wheatland Parish Doorbusters’ Special!  Free grace for our first two hundred customers!  Doors open Sunday in Onida at 8:30, Agar at 9:30, and Gettysburg at 11:00.  Don’t miss it!

--Have a December to Remember with the United Methodist Churches of the Wheatland Parish.  Lexus not included.

--The holidays are a time to get re-acquainted with old friends, so why not come to Jesus’ house?  He’d love to see you again.

            I hope you all have a wonderful and blessed new year.  And it is true:  the United Methodist Churches of the Wheatland Parish would love to welcome you.  Why not make a New Year’s Resolution to get closer to God in 2012?
