The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it. ~ John 1:5 (NLT) No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father. ~ Matthew 5:15-16 (NLT) #SusanvilleUMC, #SusUMC_Light, #SusUMC_Love

Before Christmas gets too far away from us, enjoy these culturally diverse images of Mary and the infant Jesus. :) These are beautiful representations of how people around the world personally connect with God in the flesh. #SusanvilleUMC, #SusUMC_Diversity, #SusUMC_MaryandJesus

Our year's first #ThankYouThursday goes to the Food Bank of Northern Nevada (FBNN). Roughly 85% of our HOPE Food Pantry's food comes from them. to offer fresh food, warm smiles, and a safe place to visit. Because of the FBNN, our clients don't have to choose between buying food OR paying for their rent or prescriptions. We look forward to continuing to serve our community each Friday from 3-6pm throughout 2021. This year will be bigger and better than ever! #SusanvilleUMC, #SusUMC_HOPEfoodpantry, #SusUMC_ThankYouThursday

Words of encouragement from our Bishop: "On this Day of Epiphany, Christians remember that the Magi guided by a divine light visited the Christ Child bearing gifts and their souls. Let us pray for the divine light of Christ to manifest the fullness of his righteousness in this our moment of darkness. The protests against the election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris that have escalated to violence at the US and at the California state capitals are truly an expression of darkn...ess based on deception and fear-mongering. As people committed to a civil society and a democratic process of governance, this is not the way to express differences of opinion. It certainly is not the way to be as people of faith. Let us pray for our broken society and recommit to being followers of Christ who is the Light of the World." https://www.cnumc.org//bishop-minerva-g-carca-o-calls-us-t See more

! ! Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. Then , , , . For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger. ~ Luke 2:8-12 #SusanvilleUMC, #SusUMC_Christmas, #SusUMC_GoodNews

This humorous adaptation of Queen's classic Bohemian Rhapsody is a terrific modern take on Jesus' birth story. :) What they lacked in a production budget, they made up for with creativity and enthusiasm.
