Scripture of the Month
Then Jesus said to those who believed Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My
disciples indeed. And you shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free."
"Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.”   John 8:31-32,36


Giving Thanks
Special thanks to Mrs. Virginia Jones for helping us host the youth group from Orlando,
Florida for lunch!  Thanks also to the individual who sponsored a youth team for the Red
Cross Golf Tournament.  Sheldon said that everyone had a great time (even in the rain!)
and that Main Street was well represented by Kelly Sanders, Kyle Herring, Thomas
Holder, Michael Owens & Preacher Mike.  We also appreciate Thomas Holder for
volunteering his time at Main Street’s music camp…thanks so much! Finally, a huge
“Thank You” to the United Methodist Men for donating funds to help with the purchase of
a Wii for the Young Methodist Youth and the Methodist Youth Fellowship. It will be a
great addition to our fun time activities….we love y’all!

Happy Independence Day!
As we celebrate this July 4th, consider the reason for our eternal celebration: Jesus Christ
called us to be His disciples and when we accept His gift of salvation, we will experience
the Truth and be set free from sin and its terrible consequences—not just for the moment
but for eternity! Praise the Lord!

Prayer Requests
Please keep our young people in your prayers since many are traveling! Also pray that we
would follow the leading of the Holy Spirit as we finalize plans for the fall/winter. If there
is any way that Main St. MYF can minister in our church, homes, schools or community
please let us know and we will make every effort to meet that need.  Thank you for your
prayers for the children, youth, college crew and for our family.....we need and appreciate
prayer warriors! God bless you and God bless America!

Love in Christ,
Sheldon and Shelley Bethea
