That All May Know Christ, Grow in Faith and Serve Others

LOVING RELATIONSHIPS:

AN FUMC CORE VALUE Reverend Mark Ralls

Thank you! Jennifer and I are overwhelmed by the warmest

welcome we have ever received from any congregation! Each

of you has helped to make this the smoothest of transitions

for us. Thank you for your many, many generous gifts – the

cards of welcome, the gift-cards to your favorite local restau-

rants, the delicious meals you have provided for us and most

of all the beautiful notes through which you have shared your-

selves with us. All of these are the reasons that we feel so

entirely at home at FUMC that we can already say that you are

our church family.

As I reflect on your generosity I am reminded of The Three

Graces of Ancient Rome. In those days, the sharing of gifts

was imagined as a dance of three sisters called The Three

Graces. One sister bestows the gifts. Another receives. The

third returns the gifts starting the virtuous cycle all over again.

A first century philosopher, named Seneca, was once asked:

“Why do the sisters dance hand-in-hand in a circle?” He re-

plied that they simply must hold hands. “If the circle were

broken,” said Seneca, the dance would be interrupted and the

beauty created by the gift would be undone.”

The mountain spiritual says much the same with the plaintive

cry, “May the circle be unbroken.” For this to occur, we simply

must hold hands. We must preserve our most fundamental

core value: to build loving relationships.

One of the ways we “hold hands” is through our financial

stewardship. This year, our stewardship theme is: It’s what

we do because of Whose we are. I like that! It reminds me of

the Three Graces. Even more, it reminds me that everything in

our lives depends on God’s grace.

We give in response to what we have already received from

God. We give to keep the circle of grace flowing – a sharing

that neither begins nor ends with us. We give in gratitude. We

give in response to the God who “so loved us that God gave

His only Son.” (John 3:16) As followers of God’s Son, this is

our circle of giving.

As stewardship season approaches, I invite you to prayerfully

consider what you can give, and I want to thank you for all that

you have already given in years past. You have preserved the

grace of “our dance” in a beautiful way and it continues to

bear much fruit throughout God’s Kingdom.

Thank you for continuing the dance, for receiving and giving,

for giving and receiving. After all, It’s what we do because of

Whose we are

It’s what we do because of WHOSE we are! You will soon witness stories from some of our members

about their involvement in worship,

missions and ministries supported by

First United Methodist Church. Our

church is an active one, reaching out to

our community and beyond and these

missions and ministries are faithfully

supported by your time, talents and

financial generosity. The 2016 Steward-

ship Campaign will kick off in September and we look forward

to sharing stories of how your gifts have made a difference in

the lives of our congregation and our neighbors. Please pray

for a successful campaign so that we can continue to support

our efforts to reach out in the name of Christ.

Notes from the Spiritual Formation Team

A New Season to Fall in Love….

FALLING IN LOVE Nothing is more practical than finding God,

that is, falling in love in a quite absolute, final way.

What you are in love with,

what seizes your imagination,

will affect everything.

It will decide

what gets you out of bed in the morning,

what you will do with your evenings,

how you will spend your weekends,

what you read, who you know,

what breaks your heart,

and what amazes you with joy and gratitude.

Fall in love, stay in love,

and it will decide everything.

(by Pedro Arrupe)

This is the season to fall in love in the path of God’s love for

you and your love for God. Take a class, go on retreat, wor-

ship, study, attend our Spiritual Formation Weekend coming

in October. (Find more detailed information about this week-

end elsewhere in this newsletter.)

Austin and Carol Watson visited Meru County (state) in Kenya where there are 114 ZOE working

groups, including First UMC’s Amani Athi group. We saw the 30 children who are heads of their fami-

lies (a total of 113 children) in their weekly group meeting and heard of the progress they have made

in just 18 months since the group was formed. Below are a few of the very moving stories we heard.

Ruth was born with challenges. Her little body did not grow as it was supposed to, and she was left crip-

pled. Her mother rejected her and abandoned her and her two siblings. She was left to raise them as best

she could, which was limited by her physical condition. Although she had gone to school, she had to drop

out because she had no money to pay the fees.

Joining ZOE gave her new possibilities. She now has a “family” that encourages her and supports her in her

challenges. She wanted to create, so she applied for a grant to be trained in knitting. After the training, the

group awarded her a grant of a knitting machine and yarn. Now she knits pullover sweaters, which she sells

in her shop. Her ambition now extends to becoming a tailor, and she received a grant of a sewing machine

and cloth. Her siblings are back in school now that she has the ability to pay the fees, and she is smiling

again.

Rosa was orphaned as a young teenager and left to raise her three siblings alone. She

tried to work to feed the family, but was often exploited—either not paid for the work or

paid a small amount or with a portion of flour to make into porridge. It was never

enough and the children suffered from malnutrition and kwashiorkor, which is a severe

protein deficiency resulting from malnutrition. She herself had an amoeba, the result of

drinking contaminated water. Rosa took the children to a doctor who told her she must

feed them. She left in despair.

When ZOE came to her village, she went to the first meeting not knowing what to ex-

pect. First, she got training: agricultural training, followed by a grant of seeds to plant,

then training on health and hygiene. She learned to boil water before drinking it so she

would not get amoeba again. She learned to wash her hands before cooking and eating. Her group helped her build a latrine

for her house. Then, because she had put into practice what she had learned in her training, ZOE gave her mosquito nets,

blankets and a water tank to store her clean water! She also got a small grant to start a business selling greens. Now she can

afford to feed her siblings. They are healthy and attending school. Community people ask how she is so successful. She says,

“Praise God.”

Ruth is a hard worker, but as a young teen she could not earn enough to feed her four siblings. They

often went a day without eating, even though she worked on a farm. The children were hungry all of the

time. Then she heard about ZOE and joined the group, thinking that she would get food to feed her fami-

ly. She learned instead that she would get seeds for a garden and would work on the group farm to raise

additional food and income. But that food was months away. However, to help her earn money in the

interim, the group gave her a grant to start a small business selling food. Ruth was glad to have a way to

earn money, but her family had been hungry for so long, she fed the food to her siblings instead of selling

it. The food lasted for two months. Then she went back to her working group and confessed what she

had done. They understood her temptation—they had all been hungry before—but she did not get anoth-

er grant. Instead, when her harvest came in, she sold it and with her profits she started her own busi-

ness of selling bananas and greens. When her business was established, she went back to the group

and asked for a grant to rent a little store. Now she has a shop selling produce and sundries and has

become a successful businesswoman. Sometimes, the ZOE model is about learning from one’s mistakes, as Ruth can attest.

We saw, once again, that ZOE is a model that really works to empower children to become all that God intends. You can read

more about our ZOE working groups on the Missions page of the FUMC website (click on Serving Beyond the Church). To

donate to support our groups, write a check to FUMC with ZOE in the memo line or donate on the website.

Report from Board of Trustees The Board of Trustees voted in its August Board meeting to exit the apartment

rental business. This action is in support of the original Charge Conference

resolution in 2000 which approved the purchase of the 5th Avenue Apartments.

The 2000 resolution stipulated the church would exit the apartment business in 15

years and convert the building to church use. The Board of Trustees is developing a

plan to assist existing tenants in relocating. A committee will be formed to develop

a strategic plan for this property that will support the long-term plans for overall

church development.

God Is Not Fair, Thank God - By George

Thompson

Life is not fair. What does this reality

imply about the nature of God and the

destiny of human beings? In this

engaging book, Thompson asserts that

"fairness" is not an expectation of the

faithful within the Judeo-Christian

scriptures. Join us for a spiritual

journey as we listen to Mark Rall’s

good friend and author, George

Thompson, on an engaging topic.
