"Put Me In Coach"

Our stewardship campaign has a baseball theme and is entitled "Stepping Up to the Plate."  The pastors and staff wear red baseball jersies with FUMCC [First United Methodist Church of Colleyville] emblazoned on the front..The senior pastor wears a baseball uniform each Sunday,.  The praise band wears red and white t-shirts with "First UMC Colleyville" on the front.  Our bulletin looks like a baseball program and we have other basebal decor outside the sancutary.  Our first sermon, last week was on the importance of being active in the game and not a spectator. This week, we talked about sacrifice.  The choir surprised everyone with by singing "Put Me In Coach" as a benediction.  People are enjoying the series and Suynday morning we celebrated a young couple who joined -- the wife by profession of faith. Next Sunday is Team Jersey day.  Everyomne is encouraged to wear the t-shirt or jersey of their favorite sports team.  Our sermon topic that day will be "Coming Home."
