2 From Membership to Discipleship The Leadership Team of Hope UMC is reading and discussing the book Shift, Helping Congregations Back Into Effective Ministry. We are reading and discussing a chapter each month to discover how we can apply what we are learning about Effective Ministry Practices. Last month we discussed Shift 3: From Membership to Discipleship. The church exists to make disciples, not just members. So what s the difference? Membership says, It s about me. Discipleship says, It s about God and others. Membership is about a commitment to live as a disciple. The role of the church is to help you do that. It s all about making disciples. That is our purpose as the church. Discipleship is about a lifestyle of worship. Discipleship is about relationships. It is formed in relationships. To be growing in maturity as a disciple includes developing a heart and a passion, for serving others. How can we begin to make this shift? Discipleship is about becoming like Jesus. This is different from learning about Jesus. It s about transformation, not education. Discipleship is a lifelong journey. No one retires from becoming a disciple. Small groups for study, prayer and service are a vital part of making and maturing disciples of Jesus. As we build relationships, study God s word, pray for God s direction, pray for and serve others, we will be growing and maturing as disciples of Jesus Christ. I am enjoying this learning opportunity with the Leadership Team as we strive to be faithful and fruitful for the kingdom of God here in Pocahontas County. Bring a friend with you to worship, Pastor Jerry
3 Hope UMW : May 2015 Matthew 6:6 [ NRSV ] Bible Verse: "But whenever you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you. " 1. Poc. Cntr serving, up-date : Committee #1: ( Connie, Martie N., Dixie). 2. May Altar flowers (Pocahontas): Truth Circle. 3. Food Pantry ( UMDO) Remembrance Days are April 6 and 13. Due to a late request by Upper Des Moines Opportunity, they also need Hamburger, Chicken & Tuna Helper. The other list will be found elsewhere in the Messenger. 4. April 16, UMW met at 1:00 p.m. in the Friendship Room. The business meeting was opened by Dixie. Prayer concerns were addressed. Beverly read the minutes and Dixie gave a short treasurer's report from Sue in her absence. Both were approved as read. Brief officer reports were given. The program began with a Call to Worship, Scripture, and devotions by Dixie. Judy T. then presented a very interesting view of the Roma people. Following DVD viewing, unit study discussion, picture & Response magazine presentations of their ways of life, we all emerged with many facts of the Roma way of living. To mention just a few- Did you know : The Romani (rhymes with hominy) language has been spoken for over 1000 years but didn't have a written alphabet until 1971; The Romani people were treated just as the Jews during the Holocost in WWII; Are believed to have begun their migration from India around the year 1000 due to war and persecution; Used to be referred to as Gypsies; Live in many parts of the world today; Are an ethnic group who do not have a "home land" today; A settlement of the Roma live in Eastern Iowa; Or that these people are the largest single minority group in Europe. Thanks Judy for such an enlightening program! Truth Circle served a delicious cake & ice cream dessert after the program. 5. May 21st UMW meeting will be a light Breakfast at 9:15 served by Peace Circle. The program and worship center with devotions will be given by Peace Circle. 6. An Executive meeting will be in the Friendship Room at 8:30, May Kitchen Clean-Up A huge thanks to the Kitchen "Genies" who've made or will make our kitchens s*p*a*r*k*l*e*! The Pocahontas Center genies are Judy Timan, Mary Lou Johnson, Shela Blomker, Joan Reinhart, Dee Smith, Ernella Van Horn, Monica Plantz, Bev Hopkins, Beth Wiemers, Donna Hull and others if I've missed your names.

The church asks that parents or guardians pay 25% of the cost of camp if they are able to. We also can not stress enough that if you are not able to pay the 25% ~ DO NOT let this stop you or your children from attending camp! There are many funding resources available to allow anyone who wants to go to camp to be able to go. Please bring ALL camp registration forms to Pastor Jerry [unless you are paying 100% of the cost yourself]. Let him know at that time if a scholarship is needed in order for someone to attend camp. If you have any questions about camp, please talk with Pastor Jerry Thank you. *The last day of Sunday School at the Pocahontas Center will be Sunday, May 10th, Mother's Day.
