I Don't Know You!

Someone comes to your door about 9:00 o clock in the evening and knocks. You look out the window and do not recognize the person. What goes through your mind? "Who is that?"  "What do they want?"  "Maybe I won't open the door!"

Same scenario, it's 9:00 o clock in the evening and someone knocks on your door! This time you look out and see it is your best friend!  Why do you feel so different?  

Good relationships are vital to us living a joyful, meaningful life. Having good relationships with a church family is vital to your Spiritual Growth. We are all vital parts of the Body of Christ!

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12New Living Translation (NLT)

9 Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. 10 If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble. 11 Likewise, two people lying close together can keep each other warm. But how can one be warm alone? 12 A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.

A Message from Jordan Grammer, worship leader of the Immanuel worship team.

Good Morning, Gentlemen!

    If you don't know me, my name is Jordan Grammer. I serve in many areas of IUMC, but you probably best know me as the Praise Team Leader at our 8:45 service. I just wanted to take the opportunity to let you all know we have started a Men's Small Group that meets at 9:00 AM every Saturday. 

    In this Small Group, we desire to create fellowship with you and with our Heavenly Father. In our time together, we look at scripture and examine how we can apply it in our everyday lives, but a large portion of our time is spent getting to know each other as followers of Christ. This isn't a Bible Study or a Men's Club, but an opportunity for you to get to know who you really are, what God has in store for you, and how we as a group can support each other. 

    So, whatever you are doing on Saturday, wherever you come from, regardless if you attend a church or not, ask God if this is what He wants for your life. We hope that wherever you go in life, you continue to see God's love wherever you might be.

In Christ's Love,    Jordan Grammer
