On September 13, 2018 the Peoples UMC
sponsored Senior Community Luncheon schedule resumed for the 2018-2019 seasons.
The crew of 21 workers set up tables, chairs, silverware and napkins before
10:30 AM. Pam D was responsible for decorating the tables with bouquets of Cone
shaped Hydrangeas. While the set up in Ellis Hall was going on Brad was busy at
work preparing the meal in the kitchen.
Dick Miller set up his electric piano and regaled us with his music until it was time for the program of the day. A few folks came early to play games, notably cribbage which we were
prepared to set up and provide. Carol B was accommodating to the two ladies and
sat and played cards with them.

By 11:30 AM a number of the guests
had arrived, in time totaling 34. It was also time for Marlene to introduce the
guest speaker/presenter for this day. Raychell Libby from Broadway Gardens
presented a very interesting program on Succulent Plants and gardens. She
developed a terrarium of such plants and brought enough plants that if anyone
wanted them they could take a few plants for themselves along with a plan on
how to care for them. She also provided a discount card for anyone to use at
Broadway Gardens. Her program kept most people very interested in what she had
to say both during her presentation and during the question period that
followed.

Before the program had begun Pastor
Tom gave a blessing on the program and the meal that would follow.

| Earle Wealthy and Mary with others |
At noon several members of the
serving crew then delivered individual meals to all of the guests and then sat
for the meal themselves. Brad had prepared a meal of chicken, green beans, and
noodles with plenty of bread for all. Servers the passed out blueberry cake for
those that wanted it---and I didn’t see many that refused it!
Again the crew came through and we
thank all who worked on it and came for the entertainment and the meal.

Next month the meal and entertainment
will take place on October 11. Hope to see you there!
19 Members of Peoples see the movie,
“Moses”
On the evening of September13 19
folks representing Peoples UMC joined other folks at Cinimagic Theaters in
Westbrook for a night at the movies. We had all come to see the Sight and Sound
theaters presentation of “Moses”. The film had been developed from the on-stage
performance of the Christian musical of the same name. The film followed the
life of Moses from childhood to his final days. As authentic to the Biblical
story as possible we watched the relationships of mother, brother and sister
and Moses with the world of their times through acting and song. It showed
Moses relationship to God and where and how God spoke to him sometimes God
convincing Moses to do things that he was very uncomfortable with. Sight and
Sound theaters are located in Strasbourg, Pa and Branson, Mo. The theaters in
both locations usually have one musical a year and then often switch what was
produced in either one to the other theater. They usually break before
Christmas for a Christmas show but this year will be continuing “Jesus” through
January. It often is very difficult to get tickets this year because of the
offering.
