News From The Four Corners United Methodist Church

Rte. 438 and Versailles Plank Road, Cattaraugus Territory | Pastor – Rev. David Rood | 941-5703, dgrood62@yahoo.com | Submitted by Marilyn Anderson

November brings several thoughts, images, and memories to mind – Hunting season, Veteran’s Day, Thanksgiving, Advent, and Christmas followed by New Year’s Eve and Day. The holidays and hunting are ways of sharing and celebrating with families. As we observe these events remember “give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” (I Thessalonians 5:18).

The coronavirus has brought many changes to our lives. Some of us are struggling with the isolation that we have had to deal with. Some of us are struggling with the loss of loved ones. Some of us are doing okay but still wondering when this crisis will end. We have many sources of spiritual strength and comfort to help us through these times – just reach out for the teachings. We can all pray for strength and comfort – for ourselves and each other.

At Four Corners we are hoping that we will be able to hold our Annual Christmas Candlelight Service. We must rely on the advice of the health experts as to whether it will be safe to meet in December.

You and your family are invited to join us Sunday mornings at 9 a.m. for our worship service. We follow COVID-19 guidelines – wearing a mask and social distancing. The service is filled with music and word that will bring joy to your life. Feel free to contact Pastor Dave by phone or e-mail if you have any questions about the church or if you need spiritual guidance. Peace be with you.
