That which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that
you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship
is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. And these
things we write to you that your joy may be full. ~ 1 John 1:3-4
Welcome, everyone.
It is hard to believe my wife and I have been at Door Village
United Methodist Church for an entire year. It seems the year
just blew by us. When you reach the end of the year, it's my
experience three things happen:
You speed up,
then you tally up,
and then, all things being fair (no pun intended), you find
some time for fun and fellowship.
The first two are pretty much inevitable, but the third one can
sometimes get by on you. This last one seems out of place
because the La Porte County Fair is coming up and we need
all hands on deck, but it is true none the less. Well, I want to
remind you as fair week approaches to enjoy the fun and
fellowship of being together.
We are in this ministry together and sometimes ministry can
ask a lot of you. No matter how much you do, you know
there will be people who will always want more. They will
want flashy worship or better messages. I have found over
the years if you make your church welcoming and a place
where everyone enjoys being together, others will want the
same.

July 2018 NEWSLETTER
UNITED METHODIST CHURCH
La Porte County Fair Week
July 8 thru 14
Plan to eat at our Door Village Church
Food Building
Don’t get me wrong – outreach is important. But we need to carve out time for one
another. When others see how much we like being together, they will want to be a
part of this.
Outreach without this atmosphere leads to many who come but do not stick around.
I am proud to say, over the past year we have had several come and they have
stayed. They are now a part of this body of believers.
It is perfectly alright to have fun with one another. In fact, it is very evangelical. I am
proud of this church because we do have fun together. So, let’s see where this will
lead us in the coming year. Let us enjoy one another and all who will join us.
Eat with us or work with us. we’ll have fun
together at this year’s
WE HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE! we’ll have fun
