St. George Island United Methodist Church Blog 9-1-19
How do you live your life? To what standard do you live your life? Why, Whom, and What do you seek? Nicodemus, a highly educated man and a leader of the Jews, sought after Jesus by night with flattering words after hearing Jesus teach and perform miracles. Nicodemus knew there was something different about Jesus. He knew Jesus came from God, but he and others were battling in their heads and hearts; “Who is this Jesus?” “Where did He come from?” Nicodemus wanted to know the truth! This Sunday we will look deeper into the conversation of Jesus and Nicodemus. St. George Island United Methodist Church is open to everyone! We look forward to worshiping with you!
Hi! I am Dee Allen. My husband, Rod, and I are associate members of SGIUMC; a family church that is near and dear to our heart. I am thankful for the opportunity to share God’s Word this Sunday, September 1st. I am studying to become a Certified Lay Minister in the United Methodist Church. One of the requirements for me to become certified is to give a sermon of the committee’s choice. So, I will be teaching this Sunday on the text of John 3:1-18
I would like to say a special “Thank You” to Pastor Brian for being an encouraging and supportive mentor to me on my journey to serve our Lord.

The prophet Jeremiah is suffering from the unfaithfulness of God’s people. His heart is breaking as he visions war and disruption. He asks “Is there no balm in Gilead?” He is referring to a famous resin (ointment) harvested from the trunks of balsam pine trees that grow in the region of Gilead. Come and worship with us this Sunday and share the gospel that the Lord indeed provides grace, love, and spread Holy Spirit Balm.
The Joy Continues,
Pastor Brian
Last night I could hear the surf through my open bedroom window. All night it crashed against the shore, advancing and receding. The more quietly I lay, the louder it became, until it seemed to fill the room with its thunder. How lovely to lie in the darkness and hear the ocean’s voice just outside my window! I was reminded that even in the darkness your voice can be heard when I lie silent. I thank you, Lord, for all the forms and shapes Your voice takes, for the laughter of gulls, for the harsh croak of a heron, for the soughing branches of pine trees, for the roar of ocean waves. May I never grow impatient with these voices or dismiss their message; you created this world and still speak to us through it. I thank you, God, for your voices that reach out to me—even in the darkness. Amen.
