Galatians
6: 14-16 (NIV)
May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
15 Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is a new creation.
16 Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule, even to the Israel of God.
Our
New Minister.
Rev. William
(Bill) Tate preached his first Sunday at Fulton UMC on
June 28. Rev. Tate was born in Memphis, TN and lived there
until he was 9. His family then moved to Louisville,
KY. Rev. Tate went through all of his school yrs. in
Louisville. He graduated from the University of
Alabama with a BS in Business. He worked in Personnel
and Industrial Relation for 10 yrs. before entering the
ministry. He received his Masters of Divinity from
Memphis Theological Seminary. Rev. Tate has been in
the ministry for 27 yrs. While living in Louisville he
met his wife, Marcia. They have been married 37 yrs.
and have 2 adult children, Amy living in Nashville and Craig
living in Memphis. Craig is currently in seminary at
Memphis Theological and will begin serving his first church
in June. Rev. Tate was adopted by his parents when he
was 2 yrs. old, his father was a Methodist Minister’s son.
Rev. Tate is about #21 in a line of Ministers from that
family.

The
Power of One was a simple concept developed by David
Bennett of the
Kirkwood
,
Missouri
United
Methodist
Church
. Every week every person in worship is asked to give a
second mile gift of ONE extra dollar. Each week a
short example is given regarding the difference ONE can
make—ONE person who touched your life, ONE invitation that
brought someone to church, ONE ministry that met someone’s
need, etc. ONE dollar combined with the ONE dollar of
others becomes a significant resource for ministry.
When you begin to reflect upon our local ministry, we
discover countless ways to interpret the importance of ONE
and connecting ministry with giving. If you have a
“Power of One” Example to share, please use the form
