April 2019 | Monthly Newsle�er of Oak Ridge United Methodist Church I Love to Tell the Story Growing up we dyed Easter Eggs. Mom
would boil each of us (Susan, Brantley &
Mark) a dozen eggs to dye. A whole dozen!
Every Palm Sunday a�ernoon Mom would
boil the eggs and return them to the
cartoon to cool.
Mom would cover the kitchen table with
layers of newspaper, drop dye tablets into
coffee cups, add vinegar causing an
explosion of color, and finally let the three
of us have at it.
Wonderful – messy – beau�ful memories.
On Easter Sunday a�ernoon we would
travel to our grandparents where each
grandchild would bring their dozen
beau�fully dyed eggs: 9 grands = 108 eggs
to hide and hunt!
As the uncles gathered the eggs to hide
them – one year – one of the eggs just
didn’t feel right. He shook it and wondered
if the egg was boiled or not. A�er throwing
in onto the road we all knew that egg was
never boiled!
The smell of ro�en egg on a hot paved
road is unmistakable. Every egg was then
inspected – and – one whole dozen eggs
had been dyed without ever being boiled.
It just so happened that those eggs
belonged to our family. My uncles and
aunts teased my Mom to high heaven. It
was a repeated story year a�er year, the
year Mary forgot to boil the Easter Eggs.
I felt bad for Mom, having three kiddos
who just loved to “help” it is a wonder any
of the 36 eggs actually got boiled and dyed
and remained whole for a week, not to
men�on traveling in a car for three hours.
But brothers just love to tease their sister
and tease they did for years to come.
Those eggs looked beau�ful! From the
outside you couldn’t tell the hard boiled
from the un-boiled. They looked beau�ful
on the outside but the inside held an
odiferous phew!
On Easter morning, Mary Magdalene and
the other women went to the tomb. Their
journey to the stone covered tomb was
grief filled for they knew what was on the
inside of the tomb – the body of their Lord.
The women knew once the stone was
rolled away they would be greeted by the
odiferous smell of decay – of death. Mary
and the women brought spices – spices to
anoint the body of Jesus – spices to mask
the odor of death.
But things were not as they expected. The
stone had already been rolled away and
the tomb was empty. Jesus’ body was not
there; the putrid smell of death was also
missing. This brought confusion and more
grief – since they assumed someone had
stolen the body of their Lord.
We know how the story ends – its a
marvelous, miraculous story of
resurrec�on, one we tell over and over
each and every year!
The year that God the Father raised Jesus
the Son from the dead. The year that we
learned that death is not the end. The year
that we began to fathom the depth and
breadth of Jesus’ love for us. The year that
sin and death were defeated once and for
all. The year that the odiferous smell of
death was replaced by the wondrous
Breath of Life.
It's a story worth telling year a�er
year a�er year!
Joyfully,
Pastor Susan

MissionoftheMonth—Good Samaritan Ministries
Thank you for your generous support of Good Samaritan Ministries. This is a truly local mission, serving those who live within a 10 mile radius of the 10 member churches in Stokesdale and Oak Ridge. Boxes of food and articles of clothing are distributed each month to those who come to the center in Stokesdale. No one is turned away. Through your generosity, ORUMC provided 6612 pounds of food items, and over $2500 for emergency �inancial assistance, in 2018. These are truly amazing totals. For 2019, there will be even more opportunities to participate and serve with GSM. How can you help?
Donatefood. Each month, we collect food items from our members, as noted in the bulletin. All you need to do is purchase the items when you do your grocery shopping, and drop them off in the bin provided to the right of the church of�ice. This is a small act, but together we are providing food for over 100 families each month.
Helpdistributefoodandclothing. Saturday, March 30 (youth) and Saturday, November 23 (all) will be ORUMC's time to distribute food in 2019. Help is needed from 8:30 – 11:00 a.m. If you are interested in helping, please contact us.
Donatefunds. GSM provides emergency �inancial assistance to people struggling to pay utilities and rent because of job loss, illness or other family emergencies. Your �inancial support helps fund this service, and to help pay for additional food items as needed.
Helppackboxesoffood. Each month, on Monday evening prior to the fourth Saturday of each month, help is needed from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. to pack, and prepare the pantry space for that month's distribution. If you are interested in helping, please contact us.
Donateclothes. GSM also operates a Clothes
Closet at the same location. We need gentlyused clothing for all ages, infants to adults. Clothes can be dropped off on the third Saturday of each month from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m., or the fourth Saturday from 9:00 – 10:30 a.m., or by appointment.
The pantry and clothes closet are located in the Stokesdale Business Center, 8500 Ellisboro Road, Stokesdale NC. The entrance to use is on the back of the building, next to the loading dock. Thank you all for your generous support and participation in this vital local mission! Spencer and Linda Sullivan GSM Ministry Leaders [email protected] 336-643-6993

Nurses’ Notes Is Vaping Safe? It Can Cause Higher Risk of Heart Attack, According to a New Study, March 4, 2019
There are many questions about vaping. Is it safe?
Does my teen do it? How does it affect my health?
While we have much left to learn about the safety of
e-cigarettes, new research shows that vaping can take
a serious toll on your heart by increasing your risk of
heart attack, heart disease, and stroke.
E-cigarettes (also called vape pens, electric smokers or
JUULs) are electronic devices that heat e-cigarette
liquids (also called juice, e-juice, vape juice or oil) into
a vapor that can be inhaled. Using an e-cigarette to
inhale the vapor is called “vaping,” and many people
who vape also use normal cigarettes.
In the new study, researchers found that people who
use both normal cigarettes and e-cigarettes have
multiple increased risks of heart-related
complications:
* 59% increased risk of chest pain or heart attack
* 40% increased risk of heart disease
*71% increased risk of stroke
There is also an increased risk of health complications
if you use e-cigarettes alone:
* Risk of heart attack increases by 25%
* Risk of stroke increases by 29%
Are E-Cigarettes a Safe Smoking Alternative? While
the debate about the safety of vaping is ongoing, this
new research shows that e-cigarette usage can
seriously damage your heart’s health. There are other
known health risks of using e-cigarettes:
Exposuretodangerouschemicalsine-cigarette
liquids.Many e-cigarette liquids have some of the
same ingredients found in normal cigarettes. These
ingredients include nicotine, volatile organic
compounds and chemicals that cause cancer. When
used in cigarettes, nicotine is known to constrict blood
vessels, which is especially harmful for people at risk
for heart health issues.
Healthrisksforteens.While this study focuses on
adults over 18, many e-cigarette users are teens. The
CDC states that around 1 in 5 high school students
reported they had used an e-cigarette within the past
month. E-cigarettes can cause multiple health issues
for teenagers:
The nicotine in e-cigarette liquids negatively impacts
teen brain development.
Teens can form an addiction to nicotine more easily
than adults.
Studies link vaping with the use of other tobacco-
based products, including normal cigarettes, in teens.
I’mQuittingSmokingforMyHeartHealth–Should
IUseE-CigarettestoHelpMe?It’s extremely
important to quit smoking, especially if you have heart
disease or are at risk of heart health issues. However,
opinions differ on whether e-cigarettes are safe to use
as a tool to help you quit.
If you have questions about how to quit smoking, the
�irst step you should take is to reach out to your health
care provider. They can give you advice for quitting
based on your personal health needs. Additionally, the
American Heart Association recommends using tried-
and-true methods of quitting, such as quitting with the
help of a support group.
If you currently vape, consider quitting. Many health
care professionals recommend that people at higher
risk for heart issues should not vape to protect heart
health. If you have any questions or concerns,
remember that your provider is there to support you
every step of the way on your journey toward heart
health.

SignupforGuatemalaTeams-October2019The Guatemala Stove and Water Filter Ministry is a life changing ministry, not only for the people we serve but also for team members. We serve God by serving others. The primary goal of the ministry is growing God's Kingdom. Many of the people we serve are not Christian. This ministry establishes a connection between the families we serve and the local church. Many are led to a relationship with Christ as a result of that connection. Get up close and personal with some of the most humble and grateful people you will ever meet as we go into their homes and install their stoves. For a relatively small investment on our part, they go from life threatening air and water, to clear air and puri�ied drinking water.
Please be a part of this amazing ministry. The team dates are; October 12-19, October 19-26 and October 26-November 2. Thedeadlineforyourapplicationand$600depositisMay20.I urge you to contact me now to reserve your spot on a team. For more details, deadlines, application and covenant please visit our page on the church website - www.oakridgeumc.org/outreach/article445376c8867534.htm. If you have questions or would like to discuss please contact Max Kern at 336 643-7297 or [email protected].
Mari and her 11-year-old daughter served on a team in 2018. Please take time to read their testimonials.
“My experience in Guatemala was highly an�cipated and nerve racking at the same �me. This was my first service mission ever and to leave the states was not only exci�ng, but a li�le scary, too. The process and support provided to make this mission happen for me was pre�y flawless and very organized. The people we worked with were absolutely wonderful and in great spirits to help others. Arriving in Guatemala and becoming accustomed to their culture and way of life was overwhelming, but throughout the week you tend to create a habit of the new rou�nes and it gets a li�le easier each day. The people we helped were by far the best part of this mission experience. They are the most welcoming, loving and gracious people I have ever met. To serve those families was more of a blessing to me than it was to them, though they may not realize that. The living condi�ons and daily struggles they encounter just to survive are beyond eye opening and it doesn’t
take much to compare everything we have to what they have, and know how much help is needed out there beyond what we see. All it takes is loving disciples who are willing and able to take the journey and make a difference. Installing stoves and providing other services to improve these families’ homes and health overall is an incredible mission project that I know will serve its purpose and I am so glad I was able to be a part of it. I would recommend anyone who has an opportunity and an open heart to do this in the future, please do! It would be well worth it and make such a posi�ve impact on you, those you are helping, and your faith. The rela�onships you build and memories you make with everyone involved remain with you forever. God bless this service mission and may it con�nue to grow in numbers and financial strength to keep going!”

Guatemala (cont.)
“In October, I got the opportunity to go to Guatemala. At first, I was a li�le anxious to go but as soon as we stepped into the airport, I was super excited to be there. I didn’t know what was in store for us but when we landed, I knew I was ready for it. When I stepped outside of the airport, it was a whole new world. It was upse�ng to see what their lifestyle was like. I wanted to help them as soon as I saw someone in need. As I looked at their homes and their clothes, I realized how much I have. We take so many things for granted and we need to appreciate what we have. A couple days a�er, we started our work. Every house we went to the people in the homes welcomed us with open arms; it was all about teamwork. We worked together to build stoves and installed water filters in their homes. A�er each day, families came from all over the town to get bundles for their family. The bundles included toothbrushes and toothpaste, clothes and shoes (for all ages), vitamins and hygiene items. When you saw their faces of joy and hope, your face just lit up and you wanted to help even more than you did before. The journey was unexplainable and was a life-changing opportunity. I highly recommend anyone who has the chance to go, to go. It will change your life forever. It makes you have a different outlook on life. It made me realize that these people do have hope and that God is always there for them and always loves them. This has been an overall amazing experience and I would most definitely go back again. No ma�er how big or small, weak or strong, old or young, you can do it and help make an impact in helping to change the world! God bless!”

The ORUMC Prayer ministry is delighted that you have chosen to
walk and pray during these 40 days of Lent and hope this will lead
you to continue daily conversation with our God.
When Pastor Andy came to our church, he requested that each staff member have a prayer partner to pray with them once a month as they lead our congregation. We have several new people serving and we know they will love having someone pray with and for them. If you’re interested, please let us know.
Also, the prayer ministry would like to �ind two teams of people to come to the sanctuary to pray weekly for our congregation, Oak Ridge, the world, and our country. The only requirement is con�identiality as we pray for speci�ic needs. This prayer time will also be a time of thanks for all the good and wonderful moments God gives us daily. If you are interested in either of these opportunities, please contact Suzanne Pollock at [email protected].
Thank you, dear ORUMC family, for your prayers, presence, cards, calls, texts, food, and unending support
and love. Your care and grace began last year in all of those ways—as my parents’ needs often called upon
me; as my appendix gave up the �ight; as the year kept winding and twisting up my schedule…and my heart.
Your compassion and love have only deepened as this year quickly made last year feel like a holiday to me.
Throughout Daddy’s three hospital stays (after the car event that bruised his rib and lung) the last �ive
weeks of his life and since his passing on February 28 (and during Mother’s trials as dementia keeps
stealing more of her brain), you all—and my belonging here at ORUMC—have been and are a constant to
me. Even in my absence the past two months, you are so present, and I’m still able to inhale and hope
because of God and you. During the past 12 months you have fed my family (my parents, Scott, Daken) and
me, literally, emotionally, spiritually. What a blessing you have been and are to each of us. Thank you for
allowing me to be not only a staff member, but moreover a friend and full-�ledged part of this precious
family.
All my love, Emily-Sarah Lineback

Weekday School News
We are excited for spring at the Weekday
School. As mentioned in last month’s
Ridgerunner article, we have upgraded our big
playground. The children are having a blast
playing on the new equipment. We also
celebrated the completion of our infant
playground with a ribbon cutting ceremony on
March, 21st. We are so blessed to have a safe
space for our babies to play outside.
Spring also means new life. Every year we
purchase caterpillars for all of the classrooms
to watch the life cycle of a butter�ly from
beginning to end. Our caterpillars will arrive the
�irst week of April so if you are in any of the
Weekday School classrooms be sure to check
them out.
We are always accepting donations at the
Weekday School. If you have any outside toys—
riding toys, cozy coupes, balls, games, etc., please
bring them to the Weekday School of�ice. We
always love gently used books, matchbox cars,
and dress-up clothes as well.
In Christ,
Jamie Hatchell

Greensboro Urban Ministries Special Wednesdays
On Wednesdays, after my shift at the jail, I drive
over to Urban Ministries (GUM), back into a
parking spot in the rear of GUM, sit in the car and
watch the people come and go. If I don’t bring
lunch, I’ll go into Potter's House (serves 500+/
day); the staff shows me where to sit, then my table
-mates and I interact as we are led. After lunch, 10
minutes before our midday service, I take the short
walk next door to Weaver House (GUM’s dorm); a
diverse group of people await our midday service.
I greet everyone who makes eye contact, many I
know. I hit the buzzer, give Cheri a smile and she
buzzes me in. Andre is in the Chapel practicing our
hymns on the piano. He’s one of our Stephen
Leaders; I've known him since 2001, when I
trained for Stephen Ministry (SM) at GUM. Our
company’s of�ice was nearby then; so, this special,
daily service allowed me the time for regular client
care. Each of my �irst 10 years as a SM, I attended
more than 200 services. Of those attending
yesterday, most all I knew, and two I had not seen
in more than three years: One shared her need for
housing, and the other still worries about her son
James in NYC. His life risks a return to prison,
while he and his wife expect their �irst child in July
(James); please pray for them. Before the service
we greet each other; then, after the service, we hug
and catch up as appropriate. Each of these familiar
people holds a special context for me.
We start with three hymns of the church from our
Baptist hymnal; we have a prayer, and then a
devotional (lasts 30-40 minutes). Whenever I'm
blessed to conduct the service, it's the highlight of
my week. From a distance, we may imagine one of
our participants at an intersection holding up a
sign. But, during the span of one hour; having
lunch, listening to and worshiping with God’s
children, I can FEEL the love among my brothers
and sisters. They are not a stereotype. In this
context, I've had a prayer on my heart the last few
days: Recently, a big part of the Muslim
community in New Zealand was brutally attacked.
Yet, there was an amazing outpouring of Love from
Christians into the Muslim community for food,
comfort, and many other needs. Their walls of
isolation were torn down, and I pray there will be
an INTENSE awareness on both sides, of the
similarities between 'us' and 'them' in a horri�ic
time like this. Also, I pray this will permanently
draw these communities into a place where their
differences will seem to disappear. Praise God!
