Volume 17 Number 9 September 2017
The Call to Hospitality
On one occasion when Jesus was going to the house of a leader of the Pharisees to eat a meal on the Sabbath, they were watching him closely. He said to the one who had invited him, “When you give a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, in case they may invite you in return, and you would be repaid. 13 But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. 14 And you will be blessed, because they cannot
repay you, for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.” Luke 14:1, 12-14
The Pharisee in our text was in the habit of exclusively inviting only his closest friends and relatives
to his house for dinner. But, here Jesus challenges his host to reverse this practice and to begin looking
purposely for those who often sat on the fringe of life and extend hospitality toward them. Why? Because
apparently, God is more interested in what we do with those who are truly in need of our care and
support. God cares about those who are at a disadvantage in our world, and He wants us, the Church, to
care for them, to love them, and to respond to them with the kind of grace that would not hold them
indebted to our kindness and generosity. Jesus told his disciples “freely you have received (from God),
freely give.” Matthew 10:8
Typically, friends and loved ones are expected to reciprocate their hospitality to one another. But,
what of strangers, those we do not know and who are in need of our care, and who by chance live lonely
lives without friends or family? Are they not the ones whom the Lord seeks to bring into his grace and
abundance? According to our text, God has not excluded the indigents and the destitute from his
goodness. Perhaps our understanding can be better served if we can identify those to whom Jesus is
referring when he speaks of “the crippled, the lame, and the blind.” Who are they? Does this not include us
all, the entire human race? We are all descendants of a falling nature crippled by sin, because, “all have
fallen short of the glory of God and all have sinned.” Perhaps Jesus was, in fact, addressing the reality of
the physical conditions of people in our world, but his response to the Pharisee speaks of a greater truth
that exists at the level of the heart of people. At the temporal level one can seemingly possess all the
abundance of life, and yet remain in a state of poverty in soul and spirit, destitute of the true riches that
God offers – love, joy, and peace. Consider Revelations 3:17, “You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth
and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.”
So, even those who possess much in our world can be deprived.
Jesus puts this challenge before us: To extend ourselves beyond our closest friends and loved ones
towards those who find themselves on the margins of life, both physically and spiritually. We are called to
be exceptional in our service to those who have been marginalized in our society and in our world To give
2
of ourselves in a way that expects nothing in return. In God’s eyes, this is the kind of service and care that
brings credit upon a person’s life. It is this kind of hospitality we’ve been called to extend. It is the quality of
receiving and treating guests and strangers in a warm, friendly, and generous way.
As an extension, Jesus pushes this idea of hospitality even further: In Luke 6:35 he says, “…love your
enemies, do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return. Your reward will be great, and you will be children
of the Most High…”
God has demonstrated for us what it means to be hospitable, even when people do not deserve it.
What God has done for us through Jesus Christ, we can never repay. No matter how wealthy we may be, we
have no means to repay God for the gift of eternal life. And, now, He desires of us as a Church to, in turn,
extend our hospitality to those who need it most in our world, as a way of expressing God’s love. Therefore, I
give you an assignment; to explore how many ways you can extend your hospitality to those who are in need
of care and support.
Grace and love, Wilbert Gamble
The Mission committee will be welcoming guest speaker Rev. Daniel Lincoln of the Mannsville/Lorraine
Parrish on September 24th. Rev Lincoln will be speaking about his journey from a non-Christian in Liberia,
Africa to a Methodist minister in Northern New York. We’ll be holding a “Sandwich Exchange” after church
to welcome him. Attendees bring enough sandwiches to feed themselves and we mix them up and exchange
them. The Mission Committee will provide soup, drinks and dessert. Please plan on attending to hear Rev.
Lincoln’s inspiring story!
In other news, after its late start, the Community Garden is a huge success! Thanks to all who have
participated! The fresh vegetables are flying off the shelves of the Urban Mission and all involved appreciate
the efforts. The Urban Mission is also very appreciative of the backpacks supplied for school age children.
This congregation continues to rise to the challenge of the needy in our community!
In other news: Remember our WUMBA theme for next spring is “Get Growing” so if you see any late season
sales on gardening items, we can start filling our basket again. Also, as always, please continue to keep the
Zimmerman’s in your thoughts and prayers.

It’s All About LOVE
Reverend Wilbert Gamble has provided us with a wonderful sermon series about LOVE. He emphasized that nothing endures or is meaningful without true love -- the love of God, our love of God, and our love for one another as demonstrated by Jesus Christ. While we know that everything about God is love, it is still our greatest challenge as human beings to unconditionally love one another, especially when circumstances are challenging. Because we’ve been talking about “change” for several months, I wonder if it is easier for people to love others when they are like-minded with their own perspective and ideas. But on the other hand, we intellectually know that it’s only through new ideas (change) that positive things evolve, even though the struggle to get there may have been faced with criticism or doubt by people who may have appeared less than loving. To continue on with Wilbert’s challenge to us about recognizing the many facets of love, here are a few questions to contemplate. Are you able to find love in your heart regardless of what’s going on with the: -Love of God . . . even when bad things happen to good people? -Love for the Church . . . even when you aren’t sure you like certain changes? -Love for friends . . . even when there is a deep misunderstanding? -Love for church staff . . . even when they appear to be unfriendly? -Love for shut-ins . . . even when they appear cranky and we don’t know what to say? -Love for family . . . even when deep-seeded hurts or disputes exist? -Love for co-workers . . . even when there is a disagreement? -Love for others . . . even when they appear mean or distant? “Love” was an awesome sermon series. I’m excited to see what are the next topics. Regardless of the theme, I believe Reverend Gamble wants us to know that love is where he comes from, and love is where he is, and love is where he is headed—and he prays that we will experience love as he knows it. After all, God is pure Love. Also: The bulletin has been revamped/changed since Wilbert Gamble’s arrival. I’m hearing lots of positive comments about it. How wonderful that we at Asbury Methodist Church can be open to change and do it in such a supportive, loving way. Melanie Rafferty,

VBS Luci Lights
The first summer shipment of solar lights has arrived in Gaza and is being distributed to children and families. As of this shipment Rebuilding Alliance (where we sent our VBS Mission money) has sent 3840 Luci lights. Their goal is that every child in Gaza will have a light. Why do they need one? Families in Gaza receive four hours or less of electricity per day. To see an update go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v-p06b-7Gfuk Thank you to all who participated in our VBS Mission Project.

Asbury Book Club
Hosts Author
Asbury members are invited to join the Asbury Book Club at their first meeting of the year, when Ellen Marie Wiseman, the author of the book we will be discussing, The Life She Was Given, will be joining us. We will meet in the Church Parlor at 9:30 am, Friday, September 8, 2017. This program is a gift of Caren
Lanigan who won a visit from Ellen in a charity auction.
“Our author” has just published her fourth book and will be with us to add to our discussion. She has written “a vivid, daring novel about the devastating power of family secrets—beginning in the poignant, lurid world of a Depression-era traveling circus and coming full circle in the transformative 1950’s.”
One night in 1931 Lilly Blackwood is taken outside of her attic bedroom for the first time by her Momma and sold to a circus sideshow. Over the years she becomes the circus’s main attraction. Some 25 years later runaway Julia Blackwood goes back home when she learns she is the horse farm’s new owner, and her explorations of the old house yield clues that lead her to Lilly’s story and discoveries about her own identity.

My Name is Lucy Barton by Elizabeth Stout (2016) Lucy Barton is recovering slowly from what should have been a simple operation. Her mother, to whom she hasn’t spoken for many years, comes to see her. Gentle gossip about people from Lucy’s childhood seems to reconnect them, but just below the surface lie the tension and longing that have informed every aspect of Lucy’s life; her escape from her troubled family, her desire to become a writer, her marriage, her love for her two daughters. Knitting this powerful narrative together is the brilliant storytelling voice of Lucy herself; keenly observant, deeply human, and truly unforgettable.
November 3, 2017
The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah (2015) This novel takes place in France in 1939. With courage, grace and powerful insight, Kristin Hannah captures the epic panorama of WWII and illuminates an intimate part of history seldom seen: the woman’s war. The Nightingale tells the stories of two sisters, Viann and Isabelle, separated by years and experience, by ideals, passion and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path toward survival, love, and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France—a heartbreakingly beautiful novel that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the durability of women. This story will be made into a movie coming to our theatres in August, 2018.
December 1, 2017
There will not be a selection for this month. We will meet for lunch.

United Methodist Women Response Response is the official magazine of United Methodist Women. Our Asbury United Methodist Women (UMW) has a subscription that is kept in the Asbury Parlor for you to read. Borrow an issue, read it and return it to the Parlor for others to read. I especially loved the July/August issue. Harriett Jane Olson, the General Secretary of UMW has an article: "God Is Calling Us Forward." Her prayers for the Commission on the Way Forward for our denomination has caused her to think about why she is a United Methodist. Her comment: "The way the Spirit moves in human beings is more like poetry or dance than like logic or a geometric proof. This is part of what moves me, puzzles me, excites me and inspires me in my faith." Harriet asks: "What is important to you about the United Methodist way of being Christian?" She asks that we share our thoughts by emailing: [email protected]. We all need to pray for the Commission on the Way Forward and for our United Methodist denomination.

Wellness News from Darlene Welbourn, RN, FCN Proverbs 13:20
“Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools suffers harm.
September Is Children's Eye Health and Safety Month! It's almost back-to-school time and you're prepared with your child's enrollment forms, orientation schedules, and immunizations--but what about their eyes? August is Children's Eye Health and Safety Month—a great signal for you to get your child's eyes checked before school starts. Join us as we observe Children's Eye Health and Safety Month in partnership with Prevent Blindness America and the American Academy of Ophthalmologists. Most children have healthy eyes. But there are conditions that can threaten good vision. Because you can't always "look" into your child's eyes to tell if they have eye health problems, set up some time today for an eye exam:
Your child's eyes should be examined during regular pediatric appointments and vision testing should be conducted around age three.
Parents should be aware of signs that may indicate their child has vision problems, including:
Wandering or crossed eyes
A family history of childhood vision problems
Disinterest in reading or viewing distant objects
Squinting or turning the head in an unusual manner while watching television
Talk to your child's pediatrician if you suspect your child has any of the eye diseases below: Amblyopia (lazy eye)
Strabismus (crossed eyes) Ptosis (drooping of the eyelid) Color deficiency (color blindness) Refractive errors (nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism)
Let's Talk Eye Safety: Use this month to discuss the importance of eye safety with your children. More than 12 million children suffer from vision impairment, and eye injuries are one of the leading causes of vision loss in children. There are an estimated 42,000 sports-related eye injuries each year and the majority of them happen to children. Children should:
Wear protective eyewear while participating in sports or recreational activities
Play with are age-appropriate toys. Avoid toys with sharp or protruding parts
One of the best ways to ensure your child keeps his/her good vision throughout life is to set a good health example. *Nearly 25 percent of school-aged children have vision problems. Of children ages 3 to 5, close to one in 20 has a problem that could result in permanent vision loss if left untreated. The American Academy of Ophthalmology estimates that 80 percent of preschoolers do not receive vision screenings. ©2015 Health Alliance Plan of Michigan

More Thank you notes from our campers at Camp Aldersgate
Sometimes the office gets very busy and when requests for Calendar changes are told to me and not
written down, I may have good intentions of making the change but in the confusion I might overlook the
change. To avoid missing any important date, I now have Yellow Forms to be filled out by anyone who is
responsible for adding dates on the calendar as well as for those who are changing a current date. Just
leave the yellow form on the calendar and it will get put in without any error.
I really appreciate the help, Thank You, Jonda
Notes From The Trustees
We are currently working with Nicholas Lynch as our custodian at Asbury. Nick has been on staff only a short time and his abilities and enthusiasm are a real asset. I asked him to compile a list of things needed for his work. Some of the items on this list have existed previously but are either worn out or can no longer be found.
Here is Nick’s wish list: C clamps-various sizes, Bar clamps
Set of drill bits & driver set (full set please)
Miter Saw Prybar, Crow bar
Set of box wrenches (small to Medium size)
If you have any of these items to donate, please bring them to the office. Jonda will see that Nick receives them. Thank you for your consideration of this request.

Pastor Staff Parish Relations Committee would like to arrange dinner opportunities for the
Gambles to get to know Asbury families. Families can consist of one or more people. Our plan is for one family to host the dinner and provide part of the meal and another family will come and help bring food and both enjoy getting to know the Gambles during this dinner. We will arrange two dinners a month so four families will have this opportunity every month.
If you would like to be a host or help with a dinner please call Myrtie Schilling 315-771-0762 or email her at [email protected]. She is coordinating these. Let her know if you would like to host or help bring food and some dates in a month you would be available. PSPRC and the Gambles feel this will be a very good way to get to know each other. This is a main goal for Rev. Gamble. They are looking forward to this.
Trustee Projects
Following a work project by a tremendous group of volunteers, Rev. and Mrs. Gamble have moved into the parsonage. They have decorated throughout and have created a very comfortable homey atmosphere.
One of the things we noticed while doing work on the parsonage prior ;to their move were the windows. Most of the windows go back to the construction of the house. This was probably in the 1920’s or 1930’s. All have window weights that require an open space on each side of the window. This allows a lot of cold air in during winter months. All windows are single pane glass which again allows loss of heat. New windows will greatly tighten the “envelope” surrounding the house and thus lessen heat loss. Road noise will be quieter. Cleaning the windows will be much easier. Reduced heat loss will result in less energy expense and make it more comfortable for Rev. and Mrs. Gamble.
The new windows will be installed this Fall. Funds remaining in our Capital Campaign Fund will be used to finance this project. The cost is approximately $8,500.00. All exterior exposed wood will be covered with a vinyl covering so no future window trim painting will be necessary.
New lighting was installed on our garden walkway between the paved parking lot and the Franklin St. entry. Thanks go to Bill Plemons for setting this project in motion and working to see it was completed. I helped Bill with this, but Bill’s electrical expertise was the critical factor.
Another project completed by David Forbes and Lou Dolloway was the sealing of the steps of the main entrance on Sterling and Parker Street. This was a lot of work and time. These two volunteers greatly improved our front entrance. When you see David or Lou, give them a hearty “Thank You”.
