Travels with Sisters-In-christ
Visit to Hoo-Haven Bird Sanctuary
A good time was had by all visiting this local sanctuary that cares for injured birds to nurse them back to health and return them to the wild.
Toni, a long time volunteer, was their guide
Volunteers like Toni interpret what they do for visitors as they dedicate their time to care for God's creatures.
New Memorial for Pauline Lawhorn
Remembering One of Our Saints
Pauline Lawhorn was a long-time member of Rockton United Methodist Church and at the beginning of January 2022 a memorial to her was placed in the narthex of our Sanctuary. Pauline was known for welcoming visitors and for her tireless dedication to spreading the gospel. She organized numerous events/get-togethers and taught the adult Sunday-School class for many years. Her favorite scripture was the Great Commission of Matthew 28:19 ". . . go and make disciples of all nations . . ." Her daughter, Judie Heinschel, and husband, Bob Lawhorn, stand on either side of the stained glass portrait of Jesus and the Great Commission that will now remind everyone as they leave our Sanctuary of this important work that she loved so much.
