MAIL TO:

Believed to be the oldest feast in the Church, the story of Pentecost dates back to the first century

A.D. The feast of Pentecost coincided with the Jewish Feast of Weeks, which occurs 50 days

after the Passover (Deuteronomy 16:10). According to Jewish tradition, the Ten Command-

ments were given to Moses 50 days after the first Passover, which freed the Hebrews from

their bondage in Egypt. As the Hebrews settled into Canaan, the feast became a time to hon-

or the Lord for blessing the fruits of their labors. At the time of Jesus, the festival focused on

rabbinical law and traditions. Since this Jewish holiday took place at the same time of the

Pentecost, many Jewish Christians appropriated its celebration into their Christian com-

memoration of the coming of the Spirit. According to book of Acts, the Church came into

being on the day of Pentecost. As 120 worshipers, including the Disciples, were fasting and

praying in an upper room in Jerusalem, the Holy Spirit descended upon them in a violent

rushing wind that was heard throughout the city. Small flames of fire rested upon their

heads, and they began to speak in other languages. As crowds came to investigate the com-

motion, the Apostle Peter spoke to them about Jesus and exhorted them to repent. From

the crowd of Jews and converts, 3,000 realized the truth of his words and became followers

WORSHIP ASSISTANTS ~ MAY 2015

What a moving Holy Week and glorious celebration we experienced for Easter last month. I appreciate

so much the many folks who worked to put together the special services, activities, and music. I love

the new Easter banners that beautify our sanctuary.

May brings with it many exciting activities – National Day of Prayer, Mother’s Day, and Confirmation

Sunday, Pentecost Sunday, college graduations, award banquets, end-of-year concerts and recitals.

Our God and Country program with the Cub Scout Pack will finish in May as well. It has been a pleas-

ure to work with the 16 participants in the first series of God and Country. I also appreciate the great

support of their families in this project. The National Day of Prayer will be May 7. The YMCA will spon-

sor a prayer breakfast at the Senior Center that morning at 7am. Reservations are needed if you plan

to eat by calling 753-6230. Our church will be open for our weekly Noon prayer time. First Presbyteri-

an will open their sanctuary from 7am-7pm and will have a closing corporate prayer service from 6:30-

7pm. May 10 we will honor all our Mothers and the youngest and oldest mothers present. Confirma-

tion Sunday will be May 17 at the 10:55am service. Since January we have been working through our

curriculum, We Believe, had a field trip to the Jewish synagogue in Winston-Salem and enjoyed a day-

retreat to the mountain home of John and Shirley Cottle where the group made stoles symbolizing

their faith and completed their creed. Those joining on May 17 will also assist in the leadership of the

service and share their creed. The Pre-School will hold its end-of-year celebration and graduation in the

FLC at 6:30pm on Thursday, May 21. On Pentecost Sunday, 5/24, we will celebrate the birth of the

church. I hope many from the church will come to show their support. Our After School has had a

great initial year and is gearing-up for our first Summer Day Camp. How blessed we are to be able to

influence the lives of so many children for Christ. May all that we do (and so much more is going on)

glorify God and bring people to Christ. Pastor Glenn

From the FAMILY MINISTRIES TEAM

It has been a busy month with three small groups meeting to study the Married People’s resource titled “Heroes Among Us”. This study focuses on the four core habits of a great marriage: Have Serious Fun, Respect and Love, Love God First and Practice Your Promise. The goal has been to learn how to become your spouse’s hero by doing ordinary things in extraordinary ways. The five-session study is quickly drawing to a close and we are looking forward to our next activities.

On May 9th from 5:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. in the Family Life Center, FM will sponsor the first Date Night. This is an opportunity for couples to bring their children to be cared for while their par-ents, grandparents or guardians enjoy a night out. If you are interested in taking advantage of this opportunity please understand that you do not have to be involved in any small group or oth-er Married People activities to qualify. All you need to do is sign up. We need to know how many children you will be bringing, their ages and your emergency contact number(s). This information will help us know how many caretakers we need and what kind of activities to prepare. You may sign up by calling the church office and giving your information or on Sunday, May 3rd there will be a form in the worship services’ bulletins that you may fill out and drop in the offering plate. We do need you to register by Wednesday, May 6th in order to have sufficient preparation time. We also have a flyer with some fun ideas for your night out. You may have already received a copy of this flyer in your email or you can pick one up in the foyer at the May 3rd worship services. There will also be a copy available for you to pick up at the Family Life Center on Date Night.

Your FM Committee is busy planning for future events. If you have any suggestions please con-tact any committee member. We love to hear your ideas!

Acts of Random Kindness

During the month of May, FUMC will celebrate ARK month as

we turn our attention to Acts of Random Kindness. The Evan-

gelism Team will hand our ARK Cards at the services during

the month of May. Please use the cards to accompany your

acts of kindness. Such acts can include leaving a note for

your mail carrier, taking cupcakes to a fire department, li-

brary or post office to show appreciation, or taking some-

thing homemade to a neighbor or to someone in a nursing

facility. Our kind gestures spread the love of God throughout

the community.

The Congregational Care Committee has started several new ministries in our church. The Transportation

Committee is a group of church members who are willing to drive other church members to doctor appoint-

ments, out-patient testing or treatments, or for other transportation needs. Any church member who

needs this sort of help should call Mike Hendrix, chairman of the Transportation Committee, at 998-2582 or

909-2412. Mike will arrange for one of the committee members to drive you for a one-time or on-going

transportation need.

We continue to be in prayer with the people in Nepal and all who

are affected by the earthquake including first responders and

families of those who have died or are missing. Global Ministries

has been in touch with all of our missionaries in the area and con-

firmed they are safe. UMCOR is preparing a response, working through local and international part-

ners. Donations to support the response to the earthquake in Nepal and other international disasters can

be made through UMCOR Advance # 982450. Checks can be made out to the church and write UMCOR

Advance #982450 in the memo.

UMW Reading Program Book Review

Alone and Invisible No More, what an interesting

title. Dr. Allan Teel has written a quite engaging book

about empowering older adults to be resources for one

another that he calls the “Maine Approach” after his

home practice state.

Pointing to our steadily increasing longevity and im-

proved geriatric care, he asks us to consider how we will

live for 20 or 30 years after retirement with reasonably

well-controlled chronic conditions. His approach in-

cludes giving seniors tools for lifelong networking with

the ability to stay in their own homes or in an elder as-

sisted care community.

Whether the ideas Teel put into practice in Maine

would transfer to Davie County, his message is one to

make us think about better ways to care for the aging

population.

REMEMBER: There is still plenty of time to read The

Dressmaker of Khair Khana for the UMW book club

discussion June 3rd. Our copy is on top of the small

bookcase in the hallway of the Family Life Center. Sign

up in the red folder, and we will know to include you in

our meeting.
