3 News & Views From Our Pastor ALONG THE JOURNEY I follow a couple of ministry blogs. I wanted to share with the congregation this article by Matt Rosine on Ministry Matters, originally posted on August 13, 2012: During the worship service, can someone with a monotone voice speak (at length) about all the insider church happenings and people's private health matters? I find this so inspiring. 9 Questions Church Visitors Aren't Asking (...but churches are still trying to answer) So how soon can I get involved with your committees? Can I get a longer bulletin maybe something with more detail? Will you please single me out as a visitor in front of all the people during the greeting part of worship this morning? And will you please make me hold hands with people I don t know so I have an artificial sense of community at the end of worship? Will you please send some "callers" by my house later and interrupt me while I fix dinner? Can you please seat us in those uncomfortable pews with our fidgety kids and aging parents? A special shout out to the new folks down front Great to have you! We love you! (You re in my family s seat!) Hope you keep coming! How quickly can I fill out a pledge card? Does this church have weekly meetings, rehearsals and other activities that will consume most of our family's free time? As our future unfolds (What will our next 40 years look like?), perhaps you are noticing some changes: some new things have begun, some familiar things don t happen anymore. The Prayer Concerns Board has gotten a face -lift and folks are interacting with it in different ways. You can share your celebrations and prayer concerns yourself! Use magnets for news clippings or just write (dry erase pens only, please) on the white board. I ve had some questions about worship lately I d like to address here. Worship is designed to reflect the theme of the sermon series, which changes every 4-8 weeks depending on the length of the series. If it s not obvious, I am not a lectionary preacher that is, I don t stick to the Scripture assigned to each Sunday from the Revised Common Lectionary. I don t precisely follow the seasons of the church year. Advent to Christmas and Lent to Easter are significant exceptions, when I do follow the lectionary texts, mostly to help newcomers know the scripture stories we are trying to tell. Otherwise, I preach from current books (usually I look for works published in the last 4 years) with significant ties to Scripture that might help us to address our spiritual needs, to move forward as a faith community. Sometimes that means worship has familiar elements. Sometimes worship is deliberately designed to shake us up and take us away from our comfort zones. Worship is for God, first and foremost. It is designed to bring us into God s presence and help us acknowledge and learn from God for our daily lives (what I call Active Daily Discipleship). So, it is for us, second. Worship needs to be invitational for those 3 (continued on page 4)

4 4 In & About Our Church (continued from page 3) who have not established a relationship with God. Our worship needs to appeal to folks who are (frankly) not here yet, as much as it needs to touch the hearts and minds of those who are connected to God (first) and then to one another. It should go without saying that worship must feel welcoming and appropriate for new,younger, unchurched people, and especially their children, if we want the church to grow. We shouldn t have to say it, but we do need to say it. Imagine walking into Redlands UMC for worship for the very first time. Put yourself in the shoes of someone who has never stepped foot inside a church before, but a crisis in your life has brought you here. If you were an outsider, completely unfamiliar with any kind of church, how would it feel and sound to you? If you knew no one, how welcome or comfortable would you feel before, during, and after worship? Could you find restrooms without asking? Would you feel comfortable putting your child(ren) in the nursery? How would your children or grandchildren respond to these same questions? Try to really think of this scenario from beyond your familiarity with Redlands UMC. Think about the worship hour you attend regularly. As we recollect throughout July and August some of Jesus familiar parables, consider the theme, What s In It for Me? Is this the question you ask when it comes to worship? Or faith? Or giving? Or discipleship? You ll have to decide for yourself if it s the right question. It s up to you to work out the answers, too. As you look through the list of 9 questions churches are still trying answer, but new people are not asking, how many of these resonate with what you currently experience during worship? How many ring true when you put yourself in the shoes of a stranger or an outsider? Maybe it s time for some rethinking of what worship can be if we want to see growth at either hour. Reshaping worship, creating change, rethinking church can be uncomfortable, but I would ask you to think about the goal are we sharing God s love with neighbors and friends who have not yet developed a relationship with God through Jesus Christ? Can we do this while we feed our own souls? Is there room for both? Whatever your summer plans include, don t forget Redlands UMC needs the consistent support of your prayers, presence, gifts, service and witness. We cannot be the body of Christ without you! I hope you ll find meaningful ways to connect and grow with your church family in the weeks ahead. Your Servant in Christ, Pastor Kerry Lord ~ You Complete Me by Deborah Ann Belka Lord ~ You complete me, You make my life whole You protect and keep me and preserve my very soul. You fill me with Your love, and equip me each new day You give me the power to stay on the narrow way. Lord ~ You complete me, You make my life anew You give me Your peace and my mind You renew.

Lord ~ You complete me, You make my heart sing You provide me comfort in the shadow of Your wing. You fill me up with joy, You make my life complete and every day I turn to You for You're my soul's retreat!

8 In & About Our Church RUMC S JUNE 2014 VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL THE SHIP HAS SAILED Thanks to all for a successful voyage! 8 As you know, Vacation Bible School is a popular summer activity for Christians and non-christians alike. Each program has its own theme (medieval castles, water parks, the Old West, etc.) that children explore with games, snacks, crafts, skits, and, of course, Bible lessons. This year s theme was SonTreasure Island. There is always a connection between God and the VBS theme, allowing kids to discover God in a creative way. Over the years, churches, including RUMC, have used Vacation Bible School as a fun, low -pressure tool to teach children about God and Jesus. Many adults today can attest to the fact that VBS was where they first learned about Jesus Christ, resulting in their salvation. Vacation Bible School is a good way to reaffirm the commitment of God s people through the centuries: We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord. (Psalm 78:4) A Huge Thank You to all who helped RUMC s 2014 Vacation Bible School happen by... Choosing curriculum, ordering supplies, and making decisions Donating supplies Decorating Donating preparing and serving food Herding children Leading games, crafts, stories, opening and closing times We had a wonderful time with 21 children and about that many adults and youth each day!

10 In & About Our Church PROMISED LAND Part 2: Wandering in the Wilderness You ve heard the rumor: we are working on a vitality project. But what on earth does that mean? What are the signs of life that you would look for in a church? Take a pulse on your experience with Redlands UMC as of this moment. Go ahead and jot down a list. In this church or some other faith community you ve been part of or heard about, what have you most appreciated or admired? What has happened that has allowed you to feel connected here? As you make your Favorite Things list, be sure to think about where Redlands is located. What do you know about our neighbors, and what are the needs in our immediate area that we might address? By immediate area I mean the 10 square blocks surrounding the church property. Your Favorite Things list might contain some ideas that could lead to new ministries here maybe not exactly the same as they ve been done in other places because our context is unique for our situation. Additionally, I would invite you to make a list of occasions when you felt a church (Redlands or another) missed an opportunity to be in relationship with its members, friends, neighbors or its community. What would you (personally) have done differently? Please refrain from thinking, They should have Rather, I would encourage you to think instead, Next time, I will. myself. Finally, I would ask you to think about our current ministries. Are we being as effective as we can be? Are we taking risks or are we playing it safe? Are we creatively pushing ourselves for the sake of the gospel, or are we repeating past habits because they are familiar? Are we aligning with our mission statement to Love God, Learn and Live! and, as we move into a new chapter of our life together with God, is this the best description of who we are and what we re up to? 10 Between Egypt and the Promised Land, the Israelites were known to lift up their dissatisfaction to Moses and Aaron and cry out against them for their hunger and thirst. They wanted better organization, more stability, some new people, but the same songs. They wanted to go back to the predictability of Egypt even if it meant returning to slavery. During those 40 years, God faithfully provided for their every need: quail, manna, water, law, and structure for worship (the Tabernacle), and still the Israelites grumbled. We are not comfortable in the places inbetween. We prefer certainty to mystery. But let s shift our murmuring, our complaining toward energy to re-imagine ourselves as the people of God in new ways. Perhaps you ve heard me say, We are not where we re going to be. Between where we have been and where we are going, God knows our intentions, our hopes and aspirations to be vital and effective in our ministry efforts. A project that helps us revitalize our ministries acknowledges that in our past, we have gotten some things right, and we have missed some opportunities. It might also help us to assess our readiness to move into our future with intentions to not repeat the past, but build on it and then move forward in new, creative and effective ways with a greater clarity of our identity and purpose. Let s let our voices come together to speak praises and thanksgiving to our faithful God who will help us be fruitful in our ministries in the future. In the months ahead we will be asking for your input. The lists you create as you think about the questions above will be helpful as we imagine together the people of God known as Redlands UMC. You will have an opportunity to share your thoughts during our one-day Leadership Summit on Saturday, October 11 th from 8:30am 4:00pm. We hope you ll save the date. More details soon...
