New Youth/Associate Pastor

/in

Hello Petrie Memorial UMC!

My name is Joe Cox and I am very excited to join you all in July.  I was born in Oklahoma but raised in Elizabethtown, KY.  I attended Lindsey Wilson College where I played tennis and graduated with a Bachelors in Christian Ministries.  I have spent the last four years attending Asbury Theological Seminary pursing a Master’s of Divinity, which I completed this May.  I have been in ministry for 10 years beginning in camping ministry at Camp Loucon.  Youth Ministry is my passion and is what God has called and equipped me for.  I believe that youth are not just the church of the future, but that they are also an important part of the current church.

I enjoy watching and playing all kinds of sports.  I particularly enjoy the Cubs and all Louisville sports.  I prefer spending time outdoors kayaking, hiking, fishing and I’m excited to explore Todd County.  I look forward to joining you soon and I can’t wait to see what awesome things God has in store.

Camp Loucon

/in

Camp Loucon is coming right up!  This is a wonderful opportunity for kids to have fun and learn about God at a camp that is fairly close to home.  This camp is in Leitchfield, KY and offers campers lots of outdoor activities and a week of worship and memory making.  Approximately 10 of our kids from Petrie have expressed that they would like to attend this year. The cost is: $219 for 2nd – 4th grade; $369 for 5th-12th grade. The church pays for half of the cost for each child to attend.  We are looking for sponsors to pay the remaining half  (or a portion of it) for each of the children to go.  This would be:  $110 for 2nd – 4th grade; $185 for 5th-12th grade.  However, any little bit would help.  If you would like to donate, please contact Emily Myers or Vicki Ross.  We hope to have many Happy Campers this year!!

Thailand Methodist Mission

Dear Brothers and Sisters of Petrie Memorial,

Shalom!
Thank you for your faithful support of the Thailand Methodist Mission.  Through your prayers and generosity, 2016 was a blessed year.
In 2016, your generosity helped to:
  • Increase the number of children served at the Blessing Home centers to over 300 souls;
  • Open 2 new churches in counties that never had a Christian church before;
  • Construct 5 new church buildings for Pioneer Pastor churches including the new Blessing Home TaPhraya center;
  • Pilot a new ministry in 4 churches called Bright Future Savings Groups, which helps train families in financial skills so they can save money together and pull themselves out of poverty.
We know the Lord will continue to bless this mission in 2017 because of the prayers of God’s people like you.  You are making an eternal difference in the lives of Thai people.
Yours in Christ,
Mike and Sherri Morrissey
