From Pastor Will Shewey:
“Behold, I will make all things new.” Revelation 21:5
Cold feet? Chilled socks?
Our message this weekend features the Beatitudes. These are Jesus’ lessons on how to be happy. The Beatitudes are included in a very long sermon our Lord preached. It also includes the Lord’s Prayer.
Music today was shared by David Francis in absence of Landon who is recovering from COVID. A lot of the congregation is ill and some have been dealing with COVID and other issues.
Please pray for Nikki as she was scheduled to undergo serious surgery today at Roanoke Memorial.
There are many lonely folk who have no one to care. May the Lord bless each one! May the Christ assure us of the blessed HOPE, fill our minds with PEACE, saturate our souls with JOY, and cause us to LOVE one another as He has loved us.
Thank you faithful friends AND partners of Shades of Grace UMC for giving funds, brown bag lunches, sandwiches, snacks and accessories for these lunches given to the homeless daily. May the gift and giver be abundantly blessed.
May eternal flames of the CHRIST candle continue to light our path as we walk each other home. My prayer is that not one of God’s little ones will ever be made to stumble because of my sincere efforts to fully follow the LORD. Thy will be done, LORD!
You can now listen to Shades of Grace on the Radio – FM 92.1
Everyone continue to pray for all who are feeling hopeless and helpless.

It’s amazing how so many wandering souls make their way to our doors every day. Lord, May we be faithful to your call.
Serving the Last, Lost, Least and Lonely:
Hebrews 13:2 “Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.”
Luke 10:27 “And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.”
