Welcome!

Remember the old television sitcom called, “Cheers”? It was a show about a bunch of losers who regularly visited a local hangout in Boston.  The biggest loser of them all was a man named “Norm.”  Yet, every time Norm walked in, everyone stopped their conversation and they all yelled in unison the greeting, “N-O-R-M!”.  Remember the theme song to that show?  The chorus of it went like this:

Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name,
And they’re always glad you came;
You want to be where you can see,
Our troubles are all the same;
You want to be where everybody knows your name.

I can’t help but think that this would be a good theme song for our church.  My prayer is that Sharon United Methodist Church will be that place in your life where “everybody knows your name” and “they’re always glad you came!”  A place where you have real relationships with people and our savior Jesus more so than a religious hour.  With this end in mind, my prayer is that our Church directory will help each of us to accomplish this goal.  As we use it to place names with faces and even use it as a daily prayer and encouragement tool, may people who the Lord brings together here realize that they matter to us, and more importantly they matter to God!

Glad you’re part of the family!

Help folks to know you as you find ways to genuinely love and know them.
