Do you have a poem or a prayer you would like to share? If so, submit it to churchoffice@stoneumc.org for an upcoming Messenger. This month’s poem was submitted by Annie Fnney with these words…”This poem was found in my mother, Florence Odell’s, papers. She was a proofreader for the Meadville Tribune and proofread Stone’s Messenger and weekly bulletins. She was a lover of words”. 

Watch Your Words 

A careless word may kindle strife; 

A cruel word may wreck a life. 

A biter word may hate instill; 

A brutal word may smite and kill. 

A gracious word may smooth the way; 

A joyous word may light the day. 

A timely word may lessen stress; 

A loving word my heal and bless.
