PAUL S UMC RENO St. Paul s Annual Planning Conference Please mark this important date on your calendars and we would like to emphasize that this planning conference is open to all and we encourage everyone to attend. This is an important opportunity to learn and provide valuable input on our Church s future. Open hearts Open minds Open doors WE RE ON THE WEB! When: Saturday, February 7, 2015 Where: Thurman Hall Who: All are invited and encouraged to attend Time: 9:00 am to Noon Child Care and Lunch will be provided INSIDE THIS ISSUE: ST PAUL S NEWS EDUCATION GIRLFRIENDS OF THE CHURCH LAY LEADER FINANCE ADMINISTRATIVE COUNCIL CALENDAR 6 INSIDE STORY 6
2 PAGE 2 ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL Following our stewardship campaign of Bearing Fruit for Jesus, we wrapped up 2014 in a bundle of Activating Advent for each of the four weeks focusing on HOPE, LOVE, JOY and PEACE. To spark discussions, we used visual images from art works that depict stories from scripture and a word study comparing and contrasting the definition of the word for the week from the common English dictionary and the Bible. Our goal is always to be spirit led as we attempt a glimpse of the world around us through God s eyes. This year our stretch goal for Activating Advent and celebrating Christmas was being alert for the opportunities to meet Jesus again as if it were the first time. We also added a new feature for Adult Sunday School by posting each week s recap/reminder on our St. Paul s website blog in addition to regular distribution via . Check it out! We ll begin 2015 celebrating EPIPHANY SUNDAY which is the date on the Christian calendar traditionally recognized as the day MARY LAW the wise men arrived with their three gifts. The rest of the year we will continue to follow the Christian calendar and revised common lectionary. The best way to describe Adult Sunday School is to borrow a metaphor made famous in the movie Forrest Gump life and Adult Sunday School is like a box of chocolates you never know what you re gonna get. Everyone is invited to come, see, hear and taste what God has in store for you! We meet every Sunday morning in Noah s Ark between 9:00am and 9:45am. The doors are open and all you need to bring is an open mind and open heart. HIIWYS (HOW IS IT WITH YOUR SOUL?) Our small group/support group meeting Sunday, January 18th will include learning about and making Christian Prayer Beads. We will meet in Noah's Ark 15 minutes after the end of 10am worship service (about 11:45) and be led by Pat Lawrence. While HIIWYS is sponsoring the activity, it is open to other church members as well. Bring a sack lunch and join us! Our February meeting will be a schedule change. On Saturday, February 14th, we are a hosting dinner and karaoke get-together in Thurman Hall from 5pm to 730pm. Whether you're "gifted with singleness" or struggling as a "party of one", all singles are invited. Pizza, salad and chocolate fondue will be served. We're hoping attendance will include folks from other churches as well. Contact: Judi Jensen, Jolie Pardew or Mary Law. EDUCATION Sunday School children had a busy Advent, learning about Jesus birth from the book of Luke. They were encouraged to express their creative side through several art mediums, including watercolors, chalk and playdough. They had a dress-up center and became Marys, angels, donkeys and more. Thank you Jolie and Kristen for the concept and carrying out the art projects. Thanks Mike Clymer for putting it into video form so we could share it with the congregation. After Christmas, we talked about the gifts we received, what special gifts we might give to Jesus and made birdfeeders as gifts to some of God's feathered friends. We also had the chance to raise money for Heifer Project. Thanks to everyone who supported our bake sale. With those proceeds and money the children earned at home, we had enough to buy a JUDI JENSEN sheep, chicks, ducks, tree seedlings and honeybees (but no partridge in the trees). Susan Doctor will have a full report on congregational giving to Heifer Project later in January. We are averaging children each Sunday and can always use help. If you're not comfortable teaching, other areas of need include set up and clean up or donating supplies. Would someone be willing to help send postcards to absentees? Or help us pass out and update our registration forms? Contact Judi Jensen or Jolie Pardew for more info!

4 PAGE 4 LAY LEADER LITANY MIKE CLYMER Here we are, at the beginning of a new year. Have you noticed that the days are getting longer? The temperature may be colder, but because of daylight hanging around for more of the day, we have a tiny, tiny hint of beautiful days to come. It s fresh and it s growing. Once again we have the opportunity to look afresh at our future, evaluate where we are, and plan where we want to go. Do you have a New Year s resolution? OK if not, are you going to make one? I ve got some hints for you to have a successful resolution. Don t make a resolution of I m gonna lose weight! That is doomed for failure. How much weight? By when? Instead, set measurable and achievable goals, like I m gonna lose 4 pounds a month until I ve lost 20 pounds! NOW you have something to measure as you reach for a specific goal. My example was about losing weight, a very common new year s resolution after the binge holidays. How about setting a goal to grow closer to God? Set your measurements by small steps, like praying every morning, reading a chapter of the bible daily, or giving your time to one of the thousands of jobs available at the church. As for me, I don t set New Year s resolutions. Let me tell you a little secret the church has a time for setting resolutions built right into their liturgical calendar! It s called Lent! I find Lenten disciplines much easier to achieve because I am calling on God to help me. He helps me forget my past and concentrate on my future with Him. But wait! There s more! I ll tell you another little secret God gives us a brand new day every 24 hours! We get to wake up each morning with a hint of a beautiful day to come. It s fresh and it s growing. Start each day praising God and setting a resolution for that day. Mandisa is a Christian singer who has a major hit out now called Good Morning. I could never say it better than her lyrics: Wave away my yesterday Cause I'm leavng it behind me. Hello sunshine, come what may. I feel something new inside me. I hear the birds singing Now my alarm's ringing Get up, get up, hey! It's a good morning! Wake up to a brand new day This morning, I'm stepping, stepping on my way Good morning, You give me strength, You give me just what I need And I can feel the hope that's rising in me. It's a good morning Shalom! FINANCE NEWS LINDA LEEP The finance team is busy closing the books for last year. After looking at the forecast for 2015, we will have to tighten our belts. We will be challenged to come up with more resourceful ways to meet our budget needs this year. Please attend the planning conference in February to share your creative ideas. Keep looking up!!
5 PAGE 5 ST. PAUL S ANNUAL PLANNING CONFERENCE NORD YAMAUCHI Our Growth and Sustainability - How Can You Get Involved? We continue to evolve as a congregation and face many successes as well as challenges in our quest to do God s will. Many Churches in our Conference and throughout the nation are dealing with similar situations where growth and sustainability are at the forefront of discussions and concerns. We at St. Paul s have been very fortunate in previous years to enjoy more successes than challenges and we feel blessed that our achievements are due to the planning and support we receive from all members of our congregation. As we move into 2015 it is incumbent upon all of us to provide the necessary support and participation so we can collectively move towards growth, sustainability and vitality. Back in 2012 we decided to focus on four different areas for our goals and objectives. These focus areas are: Mission and Ministries Through our missions committee we will establish goals for short term and o n g o i n g m i n i s t r i e s. Missions and Ministries will be geared towards local and global outreach with an emphasis on children and youth. We will also increase our efforts to establish a greater number of small group outreach ministries in the next 5 years. Administrative and Operational Our infrastructure needs to be supportive of the changing needs of our congregation and not be an impediment towards the advancement of our goals. A main area of focus will be on technology and the greater utilization of technological tools to improve our ability to reach, teach and spread the word of God. Our annual goals for our administrative and operational committees will embody the mission and vision of our Church. Our People Through our people we will be able to spread the word of Christ and seek to attain the vision we developed for ourselves and God. Our annual goals will be to involve more members through ministries, prayer and worship, lay leadership development and other programs. We will explore and utilize internal and external resources to train and develop members in different disciplines of Church life with the intent of promoting personal growth and allowing members to share the Gospel of Christ in a better way. Collaboration As a small church we recognize our limitations in reaching the larger masses of people to whom we want to minister. Through collaboration with other local churches, community organizations, CA NV Conference and the United Methodist Church we can create strength in numbers and touch a greater number of people to spread Christ s Gospel. people Our annual goals will include plans for collaborative efforts with organizations who share our common interest in doing God s work. It is time to re-visit these focus areas and find creative and resourceful ways to energize ourselves and create new opportunities for all. Amongst other topics we will have discussions about these four focus areas and will be soliciting ideas for making St. Paul s a better Church. This year we have scheduled our Church Planning Conference for Sat., February 7 from 9:00 am to noon. Lunch and child care will be provided. Delivering Gift Bags at Manor Care
