2 Chronicles 26 tells a story about a sixteen year old king named Uzziah. In the beginning of his reign, he did what was right in the sight of the Lord and as long as he sought the Lord, God made him prosper. He built cities in territories that he conquered from his enemies and cultivated a sustaining agricultural system. He also created and commanded an army with strong warriors and armory. But surprisingly he wasn’t known for his wisdom or military power nor for his territories. According to verse 15b the scripture states that he was famous for being marvelously helped by God. However, in the very next verse we read, “But when he had become STRONG he grew PROUD, to his destruction.” When Uzziah grew strong he was no longer dependent on God which led him to his downfall.
 
A lot of times we are known or would like to be known for our achievements and accomplishments. For instance, our jobs, awards, financial/social status, etc. But how many of us are known for our relationship with God. Are we famously known as people who have been marvelously helped by God? According to 2 Chronicles 16:9a the eyes of God range throughout the entire earth, to strengthen those whose heart is true to him. Even now I believe God looks around the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are true to God. Therefore, no matter what circumstances we find ourselves in life may we intentionally seek God daily and may our time with God strengthen us just as God strengthen Uzziah so that others may know us not by our accomplishments but by our relationship with God.

Pastor Tae

27 My sheep hear my voice. I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one will snatch them out of my hand.

John 10:27-28

Children’s Center News
WE ARE GROWING… and we need your help!  

 

We are looking for a committed teacher for our 4K class and summer program.  You will be responsible for planning and implementing lesson plans using the SC Standards along with the Creative Curriculum.  Must possess a degree in teaching or specialized subject and be able to pass multiple background checks.  This is a Monday through Friday, 12 month, part time position.  Please send your resume to scleveland@surfsideumc.org.
 
We are also looking for substitute teachers.  If you are retired, love children, and want to laugh a lot then this is perfect for you!  You, too, must be able to pass multiple background checks. Please email me if you are interested.

Children’s Center News
 

I​t’s that time again!  We are registering for summer and the 2022-2023 school year.

For the summer, we are registering children ages 1 through Kindergarten.  Our program runs June 6-August 12.  We are open 8:30-3:00 Monday through Friday.  We plan one “special” activity each week.  In the past we have had a petting zoo, a drive in movie, bounce houses, a waterslide, and more!

Our preschool program uses the Creative Curriculum.  It is our goal to provide our students with a fun, loving, Christian environment that supplies them with the tools that they will need to be successful in Kindergarten and beyond.
