message or select a verse from the verses listed. You must use our 334 area
code for the message to be sent. As the Spirit of God prompts you, first PRAY for these individuals, and then
CALL their prayer pager number (or go to www.prayerphone.net) aThe

Mountain Baptist Church;

delighted to welcome
you to our church family
here at AUMC.
Friends,
It is with a joyful heart that I join the pastoral staff at Auburn United Methodist
Church! What wonderful things lie ahead of us together.
I grew up outside Atlanta, Georgia, and
eventually attended the University of Georgia
where I graduated with a degree in Nutrition
Sciences. After graduating from UGA (Go
Dawgs!), I began my studies at Duke Divinity
School. It was there that I met a charming
Montgomery boy who I now call my husband!
My husband, Patrick, serves just up the road as an
associate at First United Methodist Opelika.
Most days, you can find us mulling around
Downtown Opelika, watering our tiny urban
garden, or tending to our large collection of
houseplants! When I’m not busy being a “Plant
Mom” and pastor, you’ll find me eating tacos, strolling through the public library, or
sharing meals with friends around my kitchen table.
I am giddy with excitement as I look forward to the meals we will share, memories we
will make, and ministry we will do together!
Cheers,
Kelli Hitchman-Craig
Associate Pastor, AUMC

“Make a Difference” Following Your Passion and Finding
Your Place to Serve, by James Harnish
This 6 week DVD study will be offered at two different
times:
Sundays 5:00-6:30pm beginning July 8
Tuesdays 12:00-1:00pm beginning July 10
Led by a team of laity and AUMC staff
Connect Your Passion with the World’s Great Need. Every day we see
that things are not right in our world, and as followers of Jesus Christ,
we have an impulse to do something about it. We long to connect our
passions and gifts with the world's great needs, making a unique
contribution for the healing of the world. In Make a Difference, author
James A. Harnish helps you answer the questions "How can I contribute
to God's healing work in this world?"; and "How can I find my place to
serve and make a difference?" Drawing upon biblical wisdom and real
stories of real people who have found their place to serve, he provides
practical guidance to help every disciple make a difference as a
participant in God's transformation of the world.
Ephesians Bible Study
Have you noticed how sometimes you have a story in
the back of your mind that keeps coming up, even when
you’re talking about something else? In Ephesians,
throughout its worship, prayers and instructions for
living, Paul can’t contain his joy and amazement at the
larger story of God’s plan to save us in Jesus the
Messiah. Using N.T. Wright’s study guide, we will
explore the significance of our role in God’s grand
narrative, and encourage us to live more fully as people
who are lavishly loved by God.
This 6 weeks will meet on Wednesdays, 12:00 - 1:00pm,
July 18 - August 22.
Led by Julie Hare and Sarah Goolsby
Study guide - $8.00 (can purchase at first session)
