Change The World - The Power of One

The POWER OF ONE
20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. John 17:20-23(NIV)
Jesus prayed for his disciples and his church and made it clear how important it is for the church to have a spirit of Oneness and Unity! It isn’t often in our splintered world that we all get to be in ONE place to do ONE thing for the Glory of God!
This Sunday, at Bel Air UMC, we are gathering on a Sunday Morning at 9:20 AM with people from all six of our services gathered in the same place for the same purpose to Change the World.

We have 30 different teams and projects that are preparing to move off our campus and out into the world! We have teams that are staying here, praying, creating and bringing gifts.
We have over 430 children, youth and adults already signed up and prepared to Change The World. Still, that isn’t enough! There are some teams that need more people. You are just ONE, but you are needed! We need to reach 500 people in order to do all that we need to do!
You are the someone that Jesus died for. You are the ONE that the Holy Spirit lives in, so you can make a difference.
If you forgot to sign up, it is not too late!!! Please email hideyb@baumc.com - tell us your name, cell phone and whether you want to work inside at the church or outside in the community. We will have a team for you to join on Sunday morning! Most teams will work from 10:30 to noon, some longer as needed. Childcare is available for children up to age 4. Children K- Fifth grade have many projects they will be doing. Sign them up too!
At 9:00 AM on Sunday morning, go to the CHANGE THE WORLD table outside of McComas Hall and we will connect you with your team. It is that simple to Change the World. 15,000 United Methodists are stepping out this weekend! Make sure we can count on you!!
Let's Be the Church!!
