About Pastor Sherri Barnes

About the Pastor

Sherri Barnes

You know how they say that "you can never go home again?" Well living and serving in Marshville is as close as it gets. Having grown up in a small town in Western Pennsylvania, Sherri is grateful to have returned to her small town roots. Sherri has her undergraduate degree from Youngstown State University in Business Administration. She earned her Master's in Divinity degree from The Divinity School at Duke University. In her third appointment with the Western North Carolina Conference, she is blessed to call Marshville home. She and her husband Jeff will celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary in 2010. Jeff is employed by Harris Teeter, Inc. in Monroe, NC and they are blessed with one son, Patrick. Patrick will soon be stationed at Fort Bragg, NC serving as a combat engineer with the 37th Engineer Battalion. Since coming to Marshville, she has found the church and its members to be a warm and welcoming family whose passion for sharing the love of Christ doesn't stop at the front door nor with each other. It is our hope that our home might become a home for you and your family.

Inspiration

Inspiration for the Day

But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them ever sing for joy, and spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may exult in you. For you bless the righteous, O LORD; you cover him with favor as with a shield.
Psalm 5:11-12

Weather Update

January 30th, 2010

Greetings Everyone! I am grateful that Marshville was spared the brunt of the storm, and our prayers continue with those who have lost power or who are struggling in any way because of the weather. As far as tomorrow goes, we will gather for worship at 10:30. We’ll plan to meet in the Fellowship Hall. The coffee pot will be on and we’ll enjoy fellowship, prayers, song and a Good Word. I trust everyone to use their best judgment in getting here. The roads are somewhat cleared but getting in and out of the building may prove a little challenging. Again, we’ll meet at 10:30 for worship. No Sunday School. Stay warm. Stay safe!

Pastor's Corner

And now a word from our Bishop

January 23rd, 2010

The Tragedy in Haiti has captured hearts and headlines over the two weeks. Everyone is trying to figure out ways in which they might offer assistance to countless numbers in need. The United Methodist Church has a long standing practice of being the hands and feet of Jesus in difficult situations through the work of UMCOR, volunteers on location and local congregation. Here’s the recent letter from Bishop Goodpaster which provides good information on where we are in our response.

We celebrate that over the past two weeks we collected $625 for UMCOR and the response to Haiti as well as put together 57 Health Kits. As the plight of Haiti begins to recede from the headlines let us continue to remember them and the ministry of UMCOR to respond to needs and disasters in our country and around the world through our prayers and our financial gifts.

There are many ministry opportunities in February.
* The youth will begin the month with Summit and end the month with the 30-Hour Famine. Please continue to be on the look-out for boxes that the youth can use. As part of the Famine we will be supporting the Union County Shelter by collecting coats, blankets, sleeping bags and other cold weather gear. Non-perishable food items and financial donations can also be made which will be shared between agencies in their work on combating hunger.
* February 14 is Boy Scout Sunday. Our troop and pack will help to lead our worship, and we are invited to a spaghetti luncheon fund raiser following the worship service.
* February 21 we will be hosting one of two Leadership Conferences for the Albemarle District from 2:00 – 5:00 p.m. We will need volunteers to help with light refreshments and to serve as guides for those who will gather here for training.
* We will begin the season of Lent on Wednesday, February 17 when we host a community Ash Wednesday service at 7:00 p.m. In the weeks that follow we will be meeting on Wednesdays at 6:00 p.m. for a mid-week service of prayer and song in the style of Taize. The service will last from 6:00 – 6:30 p.m. and will be followed by a simple soup supper. We are looking for individuals, groups or classes to prepare soup for about 40-50 people each week on February 24, March 3, 10, 17 & 24. You’ll also be hearing more about using Wednesday as a day of fasting and spiritual preparation. Continue to check out the web site for updates on these and other opportunities.
