1 H ighlights Chevy Chase United Methodist Church Children preschool age through 5 th grade will begin a new year of Sunday School on September 13. Classes will be held for Preschool-Kindergarten-1st (P-K-1) grades in Room 306, 2nd-3rd grades in Room 304, and 4th-5th grades in Room 303. The children will continue to learn the lessons of the Bible using the Holy Moly curriculum. By the reaction of the children and the observations of our dedicated teachers, the Holy Moly program makes learning the stories of the Bible more fun for children and teachers! Each Sunday the children use their Bibles to learn more about God and receive a clear message to take with them through their lives. Examples would be that God is always with you, that God wants you to help others, and that God is real and speaks to you if you listen. The P-K-1 class uses a beautiful Bible, the Spark Bible, and it is written in an ageappropriate story format and contains vibrant colorful artwork. The older children in the 2-3 and 4-5 classes use a Bible (NRSV), called Connect, that includes activities (cont d. p.4) Amy Holton is joining the CCUMC team as the Director of Youth and Children s Ministry. Amy is from Livonia, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit and recently married her now husband, George Ryan Holton. Growing up, Amy attended Newburg UMC, and while attending Wayne State University in Detroit to earn her degree in Secondary Education, she became an active youth leader in Newburg s youth ministry program. She believes that service and giving of yourself are the best ways to emulate God's work. Throughout college, Amy spent a lot of her free time volunteering at Redford UMC s children s home, her church s non-food pantry, and at a variety of non-profit organizations around the city of Detroit. (cont d. p. 10) Anthony "Blake" Clark is thrilled to be joining the team at CCUMC!

3 Abide in me as I abide in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing. - John 15:4 5 (NRSV) I don t think Jesus had my overgrowing backyard in mind when talking about the vine and branches. Gardening is not one of my family s daily habits. Our daily habits include morning devotions at the breakfast table (confession: when we remember), washing the dishes (confession: when we grow tired of the pile in the sink), doing laundry (confession: when we re running low on clean clothes), and making each other laugh (confession: this happens multiple times a day). As with most families, mine operates within the commitments of full calendars and a myriad of tasks, chores, and good things too. All of which run the scale of have-to s and want-to s. So when Jenny, the kids, and I decided to take on the overgrowing backyard (confession: realized it was getting out of hand), I could have gone without the persistence of the vine and its branches. We ve got a vine that is running amok behind our garage. If you cut it back every couple months you never see its growth. But if you leave it alone for the summer, as happened this year, then you can see the vine and its many, many, many branches from the street. I m not sure where this vine originates, but I do know it is not rooted in my property. Yet it has made a home on my property and shows no sign of giving up. This vine is persistent, unrelenting, and forcefully alive, no matter what I do. Jesus tells us that he is the vine and we are the branches. Just as vines grow and wind and move where they want, so too does Jesus. And as branches we receive life from the vine, we move out farther and wider from the vine, yet always connected to our vine. I may not like a particular vine in my backyard, but its persistence helps me understand something about Jesus persistence. When the new school year started I watched as my oldest, my first branch, climbed onto her school bus and was ferried off to kindergarten. We waved at each other as I watched the bus make its way to school, moving beyond my sight. Jesus is a persistent, unrelenting, and forcefully alive vine and we are his branches. Though my oldest branch is venturing farther into the world I am grateful she goes while connected to Jesus, the vine that moves with her. Jesus is the vine, and we are his branches. Wherever we go we remain connected because the vine holds onto us. This is good news, especially for this parent and pastor as I pray for all who are beyond my reach and sight during parts of the day. I ve decided to give my backyard vine room to do what it will. I ll keep tidying things up around it. But who am I to get in the way of a good teacher? Peace, Pastor Kirkland

4 (cont d. from p.1) that get them thinking about the stories they are learning and gives them tools to help them learn how to use the text. This is the Bible that all rising 2 nd graders receive from the church in the fall. We are so blessed to have dedicated volunteer teachers to guide the children each Sunday. Returning this year will be Lisa and Mike Moreau (P-K-1), Judy Smith (2-3), and Alison Gee (4-5). Gloria Vanderhorst is also returning and will be helping teach in P-K-1 and 4-5, alternating months. It contributes so much to our children s learning to have the consistency each Sunday of these wonderful volunteers. However, they cannot do it all on their own. Volunteers will be needed each Sunday to assist in the classes. If you are available to volunteer, please go to Sign-Up Genius at and indicate the date(s) you will help. This same site is where you may sign up to help with Kids With Purpose, held the third Sunday of each month with all Sunday School classes participating. You may also get to Sign-Up Genius by going to the Contact Us page of the church website. Beginning in October, the first 10 minutes of the P-K-1 class will be devoted to music. This group makes up our Cherubim Choir. By Judy Smith You may have seen Allen this summer, as he has been actively acolyting in August after his return from a month long visit to his grandparents in North Carolina. He is the handsome Ethiopian son of Carol Miller, who joined CCUMC in November, Allen s Ethiopian name is Wobfire, which means beautiful fruit or offspring in Amharic. His older sisters are Hiwot and Kalkidan. The family moved to Washington two years ago from Addis Ababa, capital of Ethiopia, where Carol was regional director for Save the Children. They now live in Silver Spring, where Allen is in the fifth grade at Forest Knolls Elementary School. Although he says his favorite subject is PE, he is also excited about math and enjoys reading. His favorite sport is soccer and he played on the Takoma Park team last year. As soon as his arm, dislocated when he took a fall in North Carolina this summer, heals, he will play again. In the meantime, he goes zooming around the neighborhood on his Ripstik, a shorter skateboard which requires intricate maneuvering. It is obvious, too, that he loves his two dogs and two cats, all of which the Millers brought back from Ethiopia. Allen would like to be an FBI agent or a soccer player when he grows up, but he also likes helping people. That is why he wanted to be an acolyte. I wanted to help out. He especially likes lighting the candles on the altar, although sometimes when there are lots of candles he feels Get ready to cook! Once again our wonderful children will be preparing a meal for the homeless on Sunday, September 20. During Sunday School the children will cut, slice, tear, bake, pour, and stir until the meal is made. Please have your children dress appropriately sometimes it can get messy in the kitchen. We will also make cards for the men and women we serve at Our Lady of Lourdes in Bethesda in hopes of bringing a little joy to their lives. Parents are asked to bring the ingredients with them to the contemporary service and deliver them to the Phillips Hall kitchen. Please use the link to the SignUpGenius to volunteer for an item or two at CCUMCFeedsHomeless. Kids cooking with purpose! Questions? Call Jennifer Pettyjohn Byrnes at nervous about doing it right. Don t worry Allen. You are doing a great job and all of us at CCUMC appreciate your helping to bring the light of God into our world. If you have a child who wishes to become an acolyte, please contact Judy Smith at or smarmayor@aol.com.

A copy of this Bible is available to be reviewed in the church office. If you would like to purchase a copy, please place an order with the church office as soon as possible. The cost of the Spark Bible is $ If you have any questions, please contact Jan Walden (jwalden@chevychaseumc.org or ). We were so fortunate to have many volunteers for the children's summer Sunday School program. Several members of the Youth Group volunteered, including Betty Dorsey, Hiwot Miller, Kalkidan Miller, and Marianna Moreau. Teaching or assisting this summer were Michele Anthony, Rebecca Barry, Katherine Boland, Lorie Fisher, Carolyn Greis, Brian Maciel, Kara Maciel, Lisa Moreau, Michelle Munroe, Lori Shore, Jennifer Smith, Rebecca Walker, Kirsten Williams, and Genni Wright. Thanks to all that helped make the summer a success!

6 Fifteen of our youth and adults spent a week in Sounthern Pines, NC in July helping poor and disabled residents with home repairs. Members of our group were mixed with kids and adults from other churches to form work crews. I really enjoyed meeting new friends and getting to know and help my resident. -Ethan T. My resident s family was all involved in the reframing of the house. The son even helped us nail in a lot of boards for the deck. -Elijah The best part about the trip was getting to know some truly awesome people and helping my resident, Bessie, find comfort in her own home. I really enjoyed helping out my resident and all the free ice cream (which is a holy meal). -Jake I think the best part of this trip was being able to meet new people, but also bond more as a youth group. -Sean

7 Take a couple of bags from the CCUMC Cares basket with you when you leave on Sunday. The bags are regularly filled by groups in the church and are intended to be handed out when you encounter street people as you go about your business. They are filled with non-perishable food items, water, shelter and emergency numbers, and other information. You have an opportunity to help support this project by supplying various items every month. In August we collected enough applesauce to supply our bags until We are asking for donations of one quart reclosable baggies during September. There are baskets in the art gallery and outside the chapel for both donations and one for already filled bags. Help yourself to filled bags to hand out to those in need. For more information contact Suzanne Lee at suzanneplee@gmail.com. We celebrated Christmas in July on July 26. with our offering of a carload of diapers to the DC Diaper Bank. The Diaper Bank provides an average of 75,000 diapers to more than 2,500 families a month. To date the Diaper Bank has donated over a million diapers to families in need, and this number continues to grow. When families can t afford to buy their children diapers they don t get changed as often as they should creating a health hazard. For more information and a list of local collection points, see dcdiaperbank.org. When the bags of snacks for homeless people were introduced at church I thought they were an interesting idea. Something to be able to hand to someone in need besides money. I often felt bad when I didn t want to give them money and often looked away or through them as if they were not standing by my window asking for help. The bags have changed this for me. I have a gentleman that I give a bag to 2 to 3 times a week. The first time I asked his name and he said it was John. I told him that I was going to pray for him and I did. When I looked in my rearview mirror he was already eating the applesauce and granola bar. I see John weekly now and he looks forward to the snack bag. I have a list of names that I now pray for: Mary, John, Larry, Sara, Joe and Charlie. When they have taken their bag they have each given me a blessing. Sometimes I think I have been the one with the greater need. There is nothing more meaningful to me than when someone who has so little has taken the time to bless me. These have been my God Sightings this year. My kids also have given bags out to people outside stores. The smile on their faces when they come back over to me tells me everything that I need to know. These are the moments we see God, feel God and answer his call. The Reconciling Task Force has been working to discern our church s response to the Methodist Book of Discipline which states that the practice of homosexuality is incompatible with Christian teaching. After months of meetings with members of the congregation, the task force decided that the next step forward is to revisit the welcoming statement passed by the Church Council in The Council is reviewing the Task Force s recommendation before including the entire congregation in this step. If you would like to learn more or get involved, please contact our new cochairs, Dianne Cinnamon (dcinnamon@comcast.net) and Rebecca Walker (rch3b@yahoo.com).

8 That's what United Methodist Women (UMW) is all about. Encouraging women to grow in spirit and in mission to others -- and having fun together while we do. Our fall meeting, open to everyone, will be in October. Watch for the date. The Department of Homeland Security has to decide before Oct. 23 how it will comply with a court order for more humane treatment of children and their parents caught crossing the border into the US. These families are often seeking asylum from violence -- domestic, gang or government sponsored -- and can only do it from within the U.S. Right now, three detention facilities, two in Texas and one in Pennsylvania, are holding these children and parents. The conditions have been reported as unsafe and detrimental to the health of children. The United Methodist Board of Church and Society and the UMW urge you to send a postcard (available in the narthex or from Judy Smith) to the President, and contact your Congress person, asking to close these facilities which are profit-making enterprises trying to fill their quota of beds. The time to act is right now, on behalf of human rights and dignity. A 10-week series of Saturday morning citizenship classes begins on Sept. 19. It s not too late to sign up if you know anyone who would be interested. The classes are on Saturday mornings from 10am to noon in Room 107, the Rainbow Room. For more information or to become a mentor, call Bob Levering ( ). Both of our worship spaces the sanctuary and the chapel are now equipped with upto-date hearing loops that enable people to use the T switch (telephone switch) on their hearing aids to tap into the amplified sound broadcast through the microphones in use during worship services. No longer does one need to guess at what s being said or sung. If your hearing aid does not have a T switch or you don t have a hearing aid there are two new wearable headphones available in the sanctuary narthex. Need help with any of this? Ask an usher. Sunday, Sept. 13 will be the big youth group kick-off for the school year! The youth group which is for those in 6th grade and up will meet at 6:00 pm in the Youth Room (Room 300 upstairs). Both parents and youth are invited! For more information contact Amy Holton at aholton@chevychaseumc.org. PALS (Programs and Lunches for Seniors) first meeting of the fall will take place on Monday, September 14 at 11:00 am. CCUMC's new Director of Music and Worship Arts, Blake Clark, will be our guest. We will have a time of sharing and conversation, and we may even get to hear Blake play the piano and/or sing. Don't miss this exciting program! Bring a friend with you. As always, a home prepared lunch will be served (cost is only $5.00). All are invited-no age restrictions! Saturday, October 10th is the date for our third annual Blessing of the Animals. Save the date! The event which begins at 10:00 am will be held on our playground (or in Phillips Hall in case of rain). Bring your cat, dog or other pet(s) to be blessed by Pastor Kirkland. All pets must be leashed or otherwise safely contained. For more information contact Linda Ellinwood, jsbachlove@verizon.net.

Things not claimed will be sold at the Bazaar or Rummage Sale.

9 On July 27, 2015, the Church refinanced its mortgage with the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference Loan Fund. The Eastern Pennsylvania Conference is a United Methodist Conference and is a member of the Mid-Atlantic United Methodist Foundation as is the Baltimore -Washington Conference. We have a 10 year note with a rate of 4.25%. Our mortgage balance is $134, Unlike previous re-financings there was no service fee and we are borrowing from a non-bank institution so we won't be faced with refinancing every five years to avoid a balloon payment. In addition, our annual mortgage expense will be reduced by $4,430. We want to thank everyone in our church who helped pay down the mortgage to its current balance. During summertime, with members on vacation, it may seem like the church may also be on vacation. However, this was a very busy summer for ministry activities at Chevy Chase UMC: Pastor Kirkland spent two weeks in Zimbabwe on a conference mission trip. Ethan and Beth Shearer led a week long mission trip of 10 youths to Southern Pines, NC to help refurbish homes of needy people. They were assisted by Dave Brachey, Jeff Gee and Chris Hendricks. The Martha s Table crew maintained their perfect record of serving the community through the summer. Our monthly commitment to the Sunday evening dinner served to the homeless at Our Lady of Lourdes continued without a break. Carolyn Greis, Lisa Moreau and Jan Walden led a vibrant Vacation Bible School session, in which over 50 young people learned Christian values. Staff and members attended and participated in the annual Baltimore-Washington Conference meeting. Pastor Kirkland and several members of the church participated in a UMC walk with four nearby Methodist churches. Our District Superintendent, Rev Joe Daniels visited our church during this walk. The Saturday Morning Men s Group helped serve water and a light breakfast to the walkers. Our church hosted a number of events for the Festival of Biblical Storytelling including an epic telling of Acts. SPRC interviewed a number of individuals for two positions, and hired a Youth Director and Director of Music. We refinanced our mortgage with a non-bank, reducing our mortgage expense by $4,430 annually. The Church Administrator converted our Church ACS Data Base to a more flexible, less expensive system, called Breeze. The Church Administrator produced a new church directory with photos of family members. Bob Broadwater, Cindy Hinchman and Jan Walden greatly assisted in the project. Staff worked with a contractor and our insurance company to resolve a severe sewage backup and overflow. After clearing a major blockage in the drainage system, carpet in the Epworth and Fellowship rooms had to be replaced. Total cost for a 6 week project was $27,881, of which $16,000 was covered by insurance. Lisa Mitchell and Grey Emmons were also instrumental in getting things back to normal. We had our parking lot lines repainted. We Installed new parking lot signage for staff and Preschool. We replaced and repointed badly damaged flagstone at the parking lot entrance as well as repaired the Chapel and Columbarium steps. We replaced our old Konica copier with a donated color copier from F & A Solutions which includes a special service agreement for nonprofits.
