1 In Depth: The Aldersgate logo was inspired by the Love Sculpture in Philadelphia, PA., to remind us that God is Love and that Love is the Greatest Commandment.

We will have several stations set up so we hopefully can get a lot done today. If you have scissors or a stapler that you can that would be great. You might just want to label it with your name. Also, there are several items we would love to borrow from congregation members, if possible. You can drop off your donations in the main office during normal business hours, and we will label it with your name to make sure it is returned to the right person. If you can donate or let us borrow any of these items, we would be grateful: Christmas trees (any size), clear indoor Christmas lights, clear 2 liter bottles, large pieces of cardboard, bubble wrap (with the small bubbles), large artificial plants (like ficus trees), cactus plants (real or fake), stuffed animals from the desert regions (lizards, eagles, snakes, ostrich, camels, vultures, etc), large seashells and fishnets.

3 #kindness13: A Simple Way of Saying, God Loves You! Last week, Aldersgate UMC launched our 13 Weeks of Kindness campaign, during which we have pledged to perform one intentional act of kindness in our city each week of this summer. With each act of kindness, we will give a connect card (see photos to the right) that communicate the church s information on one side and a message of God s love on the other. Sisters and Brothers, this is an effort that could influence our city in radical ways. If 400 of us do 13 acts of kindness in the name of Jesus during the next 13 weeks, that ll be 5,200 living-and-breathing expressions of God s grace in Abilene! The results of this kind of servant evangelism will be seen in the lives of those we serve and in our own lives as we grow in Christlikeness. If you have not yet picked up your 13 connect cards, please do so today! We will have envelopes waiting for you at the end of each worship service. If you are wondering what sorts of acts of kindness you might perform, ideas may be found in the book Conspiracy of Kindness by Steve Sjogren (see Page 8) and at Also, check out this story from one of our members, Deborah Barner, about her drive home from church last week: I noticed the guy selling Sunday papers standing out in the rain, and I thought, "I could buy all of his papers and then he could go home!" So, I turned around and went back... I paid him for the papers and explained why and gave him a card. He seemed surprised, but thanked me... It occurred to me that the University Place assisted living center was just down the street from United. I pulled in and asked the lady at the front desk if they would like the papers and she said, "Absolutely!" That was kind of a twofer! To any of you who are wondering what you should do for this project, I just want to say: Keep your mind and heart open and God will show you what to do! Performing the act of kindness is just one part of servant evangelism. Sharing the story is the other, so that all may be encouraged by God s work in our community. Deb shared her story on our Facebook page (facebook. com/aldersgateunitedmethodistchurch). You also may share your stories on Twitter (@AldergateABI) and on Instagram (@aldersgateabi). If you do share your stories on these social media networks, please use the hashtag #kindness13. Stories also may be shared via at stories@aldersgateabilene.org or by calling one of us (our phone numbers are on Page 7). The story must be told! Grace and Peace Pastor Steve and Pastor Amy
4 Songs and Music and Poetry and Art Summer Playlist: Track 1: Happy Song Psalm1 Raising Up Deeply Devoted Disciples of Jesus Our Condition Our Desires The Psalms at our Intersections - Time - Space - Creation Types of Psalms 1. Prayer 2. Praise 3. Festival 4. Thanksgiving 5. Royal 6. Zion 7. Didactic Let the songs/psalms begin HAPPY BLESSED VERY WELL OFF The Two-Step 1. Turn Away 2. Delight Part of the strange work of the Psalms is to draw the terror and shame of all the ages together to a point where it becomes intense and unbearable, turning itself into a great scream of pain, pain of Israel, the pain of Adam and Eve, the pain that shouts out, in the most paradoxical act of worship, to ask why God has abandoned it.

6 In Other News Trustees Report: Improvements are Afoot! The Trustees would like to share with you some things that will take place at Aldersgate. Work has begun on the new outdoor sign, and it should be installed by the middle of July. A new kitchen range has been ordered and should be installed by the middle of June. The second week of June, we will install carpet squares in the patio rooom to match the carpet in the fellowship hall. After VBS ends, we will paint the main entrance hallway as well as the North hallway in the education wing. The hallways will have new flooring installed soon after the painting is complete. As in all construction and remodeling projects, there will be some inconveniences. Our goal is to keep them to a minimum. We are excited about these projects as we look at keeping Aldersgate an attractive and inviting place to come and worship now and in the future. Wes Grigsby, Chair of Board of Trustees Youth Ministry: Summer s Heeeeeerrrreeeee!! Summer is almost here, and our first youth trip is just around the corner. Our first adventure every summer is the junior high Mystery Ramble, and this year we are going to... oh wait, I can t tell you that, cause it s a mystery. What I can tell you though is that this trip will be a blast, filled with activities to bond the group together. Since we are adding the incoming sixth graders, this trip has great potential. The focus of our devotional time together will be on the body of Christ and how we are called to work together for Him. I do not want to say too much so I won t give anything away, but make sure to check back shortly for the details of what happened on MR2014. Remember the Pool Party tonight, at The Dive Spot, 1701 Lytle Trail, from 5pm to 7pm. See y all tonight! Aaron Yelovich College Ministry: Sunday Nights in the Summer For the duration of the summer, our college ministry will gather in homes of different members of Aldersgate for a meal, fellowship, and a devotional. Whether you are in Abilene because you are on break visiting family, taking classes, working, or just hanging out, know that these Sunday night gatherings are formed just for you.

8 Looking to the Future Pastor Steve Luke writes in Acts 1:1, In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach. This is a rather startling and even shocking statement in that Luke painstakingly talks about everything Jesus began to do on earth in his former book, The Gospel of Luke. What could Luke mean by began? Well, I think Luke went all Paul Harvey on us, meaning that what Jesus did while on earth was only the beginning. Now the apostles and all of us who would follow and trust in Jesus are the rest of the story! We finish what Jesus started. Astounding! This has massive implications as we learn to discern God s good, pleasing, and perfect will for our individual lives and our entire community of faith here at Aldersgate. Pastor Amy and I have been sharing with you during the past few weeks the types of questions we should learn to ask as we gather and assess information as various opportunities and decisions are before us. In her book Pursuing God s Will Together, Ruth Haley Barton invites us to gather and assess information in a way that considers how the possibility or decision is relative to the Life of Christ. Is this choice [possibility] consistent with what I know about the mind and heart of Christ and his loving, redemptive purposes in the world? If we are serious in following in the way of Jesus and being the rest of the story, then we will always take time to wrestle with this question as we are discerning next steps. Paul writes in Philippians 2:5, Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. The mind of Christ is full of love, concerned about relationships, tender, compassionate, humble, selfless, etc As you consider a certain decision that is before you, which option will magnify these things in your life, thus magnifying Christ in the world? Being the rest of the story is no fluffy platitude, but rather a deep reality. For us to be the rest of the story in a way that is transformational for the world and good for our souls, we must regularly and even habitually wrestle with this Life of Christ question. Grace and Peace! Book of the Month Each month, we will recommend a book to aid you in your spiritual growth.we are suggesting the book, "Conspiracy of Kindness" by author Steven Sjogren for the second month in a row because this book will continue to be a great resource during our 13 Weeks of Kindnesss campaign. (See Page 3.) Please consider reading the book, and continue to share your stories! #kindness13 Grace and Peace! Pastor Steve and Pastor Amy Daily Bible Readings The primary way that we grow in our love for God and others is to read and reflect on the Scriptures. That growth is accelerated when we read and reflect on the Bible in community. These passages have been selected to reinforce this week s message. Join the conversation on the Aldersgate United Methodist Church Facebook page where you can read and comment.
