1 The Messenger The Monthly Newsletter of the Saugerties United Methodist Church Office # (845) saugertiesunitedmeth@hvc.rr.com January 2018 A New Year s Blessing

2 From the Pastor s Desk an old year is over, and new one s just begun John Lennon Happy Christmas Yes, 2017 is over and 2018 has just begun. Has it sunk in yet; we are just starting the year 2018! I can remember starting the first day of Kindergarten in September, Where have all the years gone and so quickly too. I am sure that we all can remember our formative years as children with little to do except being in school, playing with our friends and exploring the big world that was rapidly unfolding before our eyes. It seems like a lifetime has gone by and indeed it has! It is easy to reminisce about times gone by but the past is just that, the past. Instead of ruminating about lost opportunities over what could have been, maybe we should look forward to what yet could be. We live in God s world. No matter what the television pundits say, God is alive and in charge. As Jesus tells us, with God all things are possible. So let us think about all the possibilities that we as individuals and as a church can work towards this year: with God by our side of course. Our church has had some financial issues which are currently being worked on by the Finance Committee in concert with other lay leaders. And we are confident they will be solved. But time does march on. Our church is turning 100 this year and our education wing is half that age. Repairs and renovations are needed. In this Messenger, you will find an article from the Trustees. They are having the sanctuary painted. It needs it especially since a lot of plaster broke off the walls due to water damage. That issue has been resolved and the plaster repaired so now it is time to paint. The Trustees are also asking for people to donate a can of paint which will help defray the cost of the project. But that is just a start. There are many more maintenance, safety, and environmental issues that need attention due to aging equipment. The projects however, will accomplish much more than just basic repairs or increased aesthetics. They will also allow the church to operate more efficiently and continue to build its missions capabilities to impact our community in Jesus name. That is forward thinking. That is what Jesus calls us to do can be just another year, another notch on our squandered opportunity belts. Or it can be the year that the church declares to the world - we are alive; we are still proclaiming the Good News; and we are still continuing the mission that Jesus started. God is alive the Gospel is alive SUMC is alive and well and looking forward to bringing Christ to as many people in as many ways as we can in 2018! Have a Happy and Blessed New Year! Pastor Tony

3 Please keep in your prayers David Goble, who grew up in our church, and Margaret Todd, friend and classmate of many of our members. David is currently in the hospital. Margaret is now home but was in the hospital and spent Christmas in Tenbroeck. It s time to spiff things up! The Trustees first project of 2018 is to re-paint the sanctuary, since the leak appears to be fixed and the plaster is dried. We have hired a local painter and we will be buying the paint from Smith s to keep it local. We would love your help in defraying the cost of the paint for this large job. So, would you consider donating a gallon of paint? The cost of a gallon is $47, so any donation that you make would be great. If you write a check, please make it out to SUMC, and in the memo line, please write Paint Project. If you would like you can add the check to your envelope on Sunday, or give it to either Robin Burns or Nancy Forsythe. Thanks! The next meeting of the Book Club will be Saturday, January 20, 2018 at 10:30 a.m. in the Church lounge. We will be discussing the book 'Red Notice' by Bill Browder. All are welcome!
