THOUGHT FROM THE HEART

The 100 Plan
A plan for 100% discipleship

As we consider our call to be faithful disciples for 2005, I am inviting the Hartford First United Methodist Church to consider our stewardship with regards to our "prayers, presence, gifts, and service." I am preaching a series with a focus on each item over the next four weeks. During the next two weeks, you will receive commitment cards to express your commitment in each of these areas. Please, for yourself, your family, and the church, plan to commit to 100% discipleship in your life, and during worship on November 21, place your discipleship card in the offering plate.
