Building Study Committee Update
As you are aware, the Building Study Committee has
been meeting over the past two months to look at the
possibilities of starting a late traditional service on
Sunday mornings. They have been diligently looking at
all the different viable options and in the near future
they will be sharing with the congregation their
findings. The committee is still gathering data, so they
do not have any final decisions yet.
However, as the committee has been looking into all the different
scenarios, it feels that there are primarily four options that we have as
a church (Listed in no particular order).
1. Start a late traditional service simultaneous with the contemporary
service and move the contemporary service to the Fellowship Hall (this
is the option that was presented to the Charge Conference).
3. Build a balcony in the sanctuary to expand the seating capacity and
keep current service times. A more expanded feasibility study of this is
being undertaken at this time by the Building Study Committee.
2. Do three services in the sanctuary back-to-back-to-back and split our
Sunday school hour between two of those hours.
4. Do nothing.
This Building Study Committee has worked hard at looking at all of
these options. And as I said before, they will be communicating with
the congregation in the near future the pros and cons of each option
along with their recommendation. There will be plenty of opportunity
for everyone who is interested to hear each option and the
committee’s recommendation once they have finished their work.
In fact, if you have any recommendations or questions, feel free to
contact me here at the church, or any of the committee members. The
members are: Floyd Hartman (chair), Bryan Smith (vice-chair), Jon
Behrens, Mikey Littau, Linda West, Dale Pulliam, Ronay Bach, Shawn
Burns, Tim Gilliland, James Hartman and Bill Rogers.
On a related note, I hope that you will consider joining our new Prayer
Ministry that is being led by John Barnhart. The focus of this team will
be to specifically pray for the church and its mission. This group will not
meet on a regular basis, but rather will be unified in intentional prayer
weekly for the church. For more information, contact John at
barnhartphoto@sbcglobal.net.
It is a blessing being your pastor here at FUMC Canyon. I look forward
to seeing you all on Sunday.
In Christ,
Rick Enns

Upcoming sermon series
VBS has come and gone! We
had the honor of hosting 115
kids for our Everywhere Fun
Fair. We journeyed around
the world, making stops in
Zimbabwe, Australia, Mexico,
Japan and the United
Kingdom. At each stop we
learned different ways that children exhibit
Christ’s love and actions to help those around
them. The mission focus was Ronald McDonald
House and the Children’s Hospital. The kids
donated over 100 children’s books. We have
amazing kids and God is doing amazing things
with them.
Just as VBS has come and gone, summer too is
here and soon will be gone. Fall is just around
the corner. You know what that means!!!!
Wednesday Night Activities!!!!! These activities
will begin September 18.
I am in the preparing stages for the Fall. As you
know, that means I need you. Without
volunteers, we have no children’s activities!
Places to volunteer: Pre-K class, Kinder/1st
grade, 234 and Club 56.
Join the team and lead our children to be
disciples of Jesus and transform the world.

Greetings!
I trust that you
have enjoyed your
summer and had
plenty of time to
relax. The
summer is finally
slowing down for
me, which is
probably a good thing since my second
daughter Talor Dawn is soon to arrive. We have
one event left this summer and it will be the
warmest by far. We will be heading to Rock the
Desert, which is a three day Christian music
festival in between Odessa and Midland.
Please pray for safe travel and safety from the
heat while we are there.
As for the events passed...Summer camps were
amazing and I would highly encourage you to
send youth you know next summer...what a
blessing! Our camping and rafting trip was
amazing as well. It never ceases to amaze me
what a great bonding experience camping is.
Please keep in mind that the Fall is
approaching fast and there will be lots of new
youth coming to experience church, possibly for
the first time. Please pray for them and make
sure and give them a warm welcome when you
see them. Pray that FUMC youth will be a
vessel for God to reveal himself to youth and
families all over the panhandle. You may even
consider helping out!
May God bless you the rest of this summer and
may you take time to rest when needed...I
know I will! -Tyler L.
