THIS WEEK’S WITH PASTOR: Fear of God Text: Psalm 112
The only thing we should fear is God. This the good kind of fear; the kind that flows from respect and awe.
What is one thing that stood out to you from this week’s message?
What do you think of when you think of “fearing God?”
Is there a difference between a healthy fear and unhealthy one?
What does Psalm 112 tell us about God?
Can we both fear God and love Him?
How can we pray for you?

And a little about our Staff Members…
Rev. Denise Tiedemann has been serving United Methodist Church for over 20 years. She has served as the lead pastor at DeBows UMC, Pleasant Grove UMC in Jackson and FUMC in Farmingdale. Prior to that appointment she was the lead pastor at Centenary UMC in Lambertville and Linvale UMC in Ringoes. Denise, along with her husband Joe, created Jackson Arts Ministry which serves the Jackson area. Denise was instrumental as part of a church plant and a church revitalization effort. Denise loves working with children and has served as the Annual Conference’s Childcare Coordinator. She and her husband Joe have four wonderful children, and she loves being a wife and mom most of all. Her background prior to being a pastor was in theater and music, and she loves giving her best to God and the wonderful churches she’s had the privilege to serve. Her heart for mission has led her to serve with A Future with Hope and the Skainos Project in Belfast. Denise is energized remembering that all of us are created in God’s image and looks to share the life-giving hope of Jesus Christ to as many people as possible.
