See Information on Page 11 United Methodist Church of the Palm Beaches 900 Brandywine Road, West Palm Beach, FL OFFICE: FAX: WEBSITE: office@umcpb.org Dear Brothers and Sisters In Christ, Our family is thrilled to return to our home church. Our 20 year history is filled with memories that helped shape who we are as individuals, as a family, and as followers of Jesus Christ. Each of the pastor s and laity who poured into our lives taught us who Jesus is. Each of our three children grew up attending children s ministry, youth ministry, camps, and mission trips. We learned the meaning of serving as the hands, feet, and heart of Christ. We also learned the importance of being able to receive God s grace and love through the hands, feet, and heart of our brother s and sister s in Christ during Paul s Leukemia journey. I am grateful for the legacy of the many faith heroes who have shaped the 125 year history of the United Methodist Church of the Palm Beaches as I begin to serve as the newest pastor. UMCPB influenced my seven years away. I am excited to begin our journey together on our first Sunday together in July. We will take five weeks to explore what it means to have No Fear In Love based on Bishop William H. Willimon s book, Fear Of The Other. Debby Oetinger has copies in the bookstore. Our journey will be based in part on: 1 John 4:17-19 NLT And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face Him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world. 18 Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced His perfect love. 19 We love each other because He loved us first. I am looking forward to my new role at UMCPB. For those who became a part of this church family while I was away, I am excited to get to know you and for us to grow together on our journey called life as disciples of Jesus Christ. The lens that I look through are and that I will lead from: 1. ALL persons are created in the image of God. Even those persons who do not believe Jesus Christ is their Savior. (Genesis 1:27 NLT So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God He created them; male and female He created them. ) Continued on Page two

2 Page 2 Greetings from Pastor Patti Continued 2. Christ lived, died, and was resurrected for all; because God loves His created. (Romans 8:38-39 NLT And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow-- not even the powers of hell can separate us from God's love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below-- indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. ) 3. As disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world (UMC Mission Statement), we are called to live, love, and serve as Christ loves us. Richard Rohr has written that we are to be for those who don t know who Jesus is will meet Him in us, and will know joy. (Matthew 28:18-20 NLT Jesus came and told His disciples, "I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. 19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.") 4. We follow the commands Jesus has given us Love God and love others as God loves us. ALL are our neighbors to be loved. (Mark 12:29-31 NLT Jesus replied, "The most important commandment is this: 'Listen, O Israel! The Lord our God is the one and only Lord. 30 And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.' 31 The second is equally important: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' No other commandment is greater than these.") Join me in building on the powerful legacy that has been left to us, and may we, together, Look Up, Reach Out, Love, Care, and Share through God s Unfailing Grace. Joyfully, Pastor Patti

The campers learned a tremendous amount of Scripture through their musical Star Quest: Search for the Stolen Scriptures and had a great time doing it. Additionally, the campers gave from their hearts for a special offering which will enable us to do a Fine Arts Camp in the Glades. Those donations totaling $550 will help us take this great experience to the kids in Pahokee. Many of our campers even donated their Star Quest music books and CDs to go to campers there that otherwise wouldn t be able to have them. The camp in the glades will be July 24th-28th. If you would like to donate to help us with that camp or volunteer as a helper that week, please contact Cary at cary@umcpb.org. Your prayers for this special outreach project are greatly appreciated. Our heart and desire for the music ministry is to fill the musical needs of our congregation by offering a diverse program so all will have an opportunity to serve and/or find inspiration. We pray that you are blessed by the music of UMCPB and if you are so led, will find a place to serve God through music. Your comments and suggestions are always welcomed. Thank you to all those who give so generously of their time and talent to our church!

6 Page 6 Church, are we given refuge from complacency? Somebody told me that when I do these devotionals that I talk about the things that I deal with. Well, guess what. He was right! Hopefully I do not come across as if what is in this head of mine is the right things and correct way to believe. It is just thought provoking and I get to talk through my own understanding. It is very helpful to me. And hopefully to you! Wow, we have been shaken up! I feel like I have been grabbed by the throat and pulled out of the ground. It makes me very uncomfortable. Fear, afraid of the unknown. Afraid I have to change. I have been very comfortable doing what I have been doing here at church for the last few years (the same breakfast for how long?) What do I have to accept? What do I need to change? What should I do? Should I speak up? Should I leave? Should I stay? Should I get more involved in the running of the church? Should I be less involved in the church? Should I give more? Should I give less? Should I still invite people to my church? Should I just do nothing? If I do anything is it going to help? So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we lose? If God didn t hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn t gladly and freely do for us? And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God s chosen? Who would dare even to point a finger? The One who died for us who was raised to life for us! is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us. Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ s love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture: They kill us in cold blood because they hate you. We re sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one. None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I m absolutely convinced that nothing nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable absolutely nothing can get between us and God s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us. Continued on Page 7

7 Page 7 Romans 8:35-39 The Message (MSG) God does know what He is doing! We just need to believe that! Study who He is and be faithful to what we understand Him to be, not what other people believe He is. But the only way to do that is like anything else, we need to research, to get involved, to spend time doing it, to make it a priority in our lives to listen for God. That will bring big change in us. Complacency is not a good thing! The many years I have been at this church it has been the times of change that I have grown in my walk. When I first came to this church it was a change, and I truly found my first relationship with Christ. Emmaus got me to acknowledge that I can speak about Christ to others. Our first associate pastor put me in leadership in my first tag group. A going-away present from my first pastor, Ironmen was started from a men s study in his house. Our first new pastor brought me through a time of loss; My Parents death and the leaving of my Pastor. It was a big change in my life. Seeing love from community helped me at that time Another change in pastor brought Men s retreats, daily Bible reading and journaling. When the changes occurred I did not know the outcome. But all the changes brought me on a journey towards Christ! Change is good and as long as we know God is on our side we will grow with Christ when change comes. Do we have to understand how it all works? I know we want to. But if we did understand how it all works, how would it change us? Isn t growing in Christ about changing who we are and how we do things? I find myself trying to control it all. (we all know I have control issues any way!) We all know we are not perfect and we are supposed to strive to be like Christ. Well, that brings major change in my life. What about yours? But I like the way things have been! What ever you are thinking is going to happen to our church good or bad, guess what, you probably are wrong!!!! We can t fear where change will brings us or where it brings our friends! God has the plan not us or whoever He puts here. To understand it we just have to turn to Him! Thought provoking questions! Do you feel like you have been complacent in your growth towards Christ? Yes or no and why? What are you changing in your life to prepare for change? What can you do to help create a healthy change? Join the IRONMEN for Men's Breakfast and Devotions on the JULY 8th at 8:00 a.m. in the Gathering place. For more information Call Dino # or

8 Page 8 Through The Roof in July Summer has arrived with its heat, humidity and rain. The Amigos are thinking of summer things to do. One project has been to film a video of how to talk effectively with people who have special needs. Another project recently has been going to St. Mary s to help with a food drive. Soon, we are hosting a carnival for children. If you know of any projects that our group could tackle, please share with me. The Amigos Growth Group Meets every First & Third Sunday from 4:00-6:00 pm if you are interested in volunteering, please call Rev. Phyllis Parthemer For additional information on Our Special Needs & Congregational Care Ministry, please contact Rev. Phyllis Parthemer at ext. 15 or phyllis@umcpb.org Originally, our group dubbed themselves the Three Amigos. Now we have anywhere from 12 to 25 people attend our Sunday evening activities and even more for our outreach activities. We now call our group The Amigos which is rather appropriate. Amigos means friends. One of our goals is to grow friendships. Many parents come to say, my daughter or son has special needs and really needs a safe place to grow and find friends. UMCPB is providing the safe space and atmosphere for growing friendships. My daughter has always related well to children younger than herself or adults older than herself. Having a friend her own age has been very infrequent. I hope for the day, she can reach out to a friend just to talk about her day or share her feelings. It is a simple act. One that most of us do without thinking twice. But for my daughter, she does not share her thoughts easily. We have a hard time understanding her. Communication is not easy. How do you have friendships then? Because UMCPB cares about our Amigos, we can address these issues with The Amigos. Thank you for supporting the ministry for people with special needs. Serving in Christ s Love, Phyllis

10 Page 10 Secondary Story Headline REACHING OUT TO FAMILY PROMISE DID YOU KNOW? Since September 2011, UMCPB has been REACHING OUT to local homeless children and their families through our affiliation with Family Promise of North/Central Palm Beach, Inc. whose Mission Statement is...partners with the Interfaith Community to help Homeless Children by Empowering the families to regain self-sufficiency. 1986: THE FIRST NETWORK The first interfaith hospitality network (to later become Family Promise) opened on October 27, : THE NETWORK GOES NATIONAL 1992: Family Promise was awarded one of 21 Points of Light, out of a field of more than 4,500 nominees, by President and Barbara Bush. 2003: WE BECOME FAMILY PROMISE the name refers to the promise, in the sense of commitment which communities make to the families in need. It also refers to the promise, the potential inherent in every family. It also represents a national movement that believes we can address family homelessness right here in our own communities. Family Promise programs now touch the lives of more that 67,000 people in need annually and engage more than 180,000 volunteers in more than 200 affiliates served by 6,000 congregations. Prior to 2010, the local affiliate was being developed with Patti Aupperlee (yes, the same Patti Aupperlee who became our Sr. Pastor on July 1, 2017) as UMCPB Representative. When Patti was appointed Pastor at Pahokee, Thom Delnero, Sr. replaced Patti and Fred Teets later joined as co-coordinators. The local affiliate s first guest families were hosted in August 2011 just a few weeks before coming to UMCPB on Sunday, September 11, On July 9th UMCPB will be the Host Congregation for the 23rd week. If all volunteer positions are filled and food/other items are provided by different individuals, it takes a minimum of 138 people to host for one week. This is a tremendous task but members and friends of UMCPB have always come through. During the previous 22 Host Weeks over 400 individuals have volunteered at least once. While you are reading this in The Herald, ask yourself Is there something I can do to help during this upcoming Host Week? I will guarantee you the answer will be YES!!! Call or Text Fred at or teetsf@bellsouth.net to get plugged into this Host Week. If you have never volunteered, start now, and if not now, the next UMCPB Host Week begins on Sunday, November 5th. Mark your calendar!! The UMCPB Family Promise Team Simone Collins, Thom Delnero, Sr., Joe Radonis and Fred Teets

15 Page 15 Page 15 THE HISTORY OF OUR CHURCH This year our church celebrates 125 years since its founding. We celebrate the past as we look forward to a vibrant future. The Methodist Church first came to West Palm Beach in 1892 During its first 100 years, the First Methodist Church congregation worshipped I n three different church buildings in Downtown West Palm Beach Methodists first worshipped in a school on Clematis and Dixie Highway. In 1898 a simple wooden chapel was built on Datura Street and Dixie Highway. A large brick church was built in 1914 on the site of the original wooden chapel. In 1924, the large Spanish-style church was built at the corner of Hibiscus and Rosemary Ave. The Wagg congregation was formed in 1922 and first held services in a large tent and then at Southborough School until Wagg Memorial Church was built in It grew into a thriving congregation in the southern end of West Palm Beach on Garden Avenue and Kaye Street. In 1957 a mission church was started west of town in the Westgate neighborhood and became Grace United Methodist Church. Bill Broome and his father, Henry Broome, built the large wooden cross which was placed above the altar; it is now a centerpiece of the UMCPB chapel today. In 1963, the Cuban United Methodist Church congregation started to serve Cubans fleeing Communism and Castro, and worshiped in the Vliett Chapel at First United Methodist Church. The First Church and Grace Church congregations voted to merge in 1987 and formed the United Methodist Church of the Palm Beaches. The former First Methodist Church facilities downtown were sold, eventually to become the Harriett Himmel Theatre, the centerpiece of City Place in The Hispanic Congregation at the downtown First Church moved to Wagg Memorial. The former Grace Church site was sold in The new United Methodist Church of the Palm Beaches built our current church campus on Brandywine Road which opened for its first service December 16, The Korean Congregation began worshipping in the chapel in Korean Congregation, which had been renting worship space, became part of our congregation in In 2007, the Wagg Memorial Congregation voted to sell its church property and merged with the United Methodist Church of the Palm Beaches, adding their talents, service and gifts to help create the vital congregation we are today. One of the most dramatic and inspiring examples of our congregation and community s faith-based sacrificial giving came in 1928 when the boom of the early 20s went bust in West Palm Beach and across the nation. The funds that the downtown First Methodist Church of West Palm Beach had put aside to pay its debt were lost in bank closings, and many of its members were without jobs. The congregation could not meet its mortgage payments and was forced to deed the beautiful new church it had just built back to the bond holders to avoid foreclosure. The congregation moved services to the auditorium of Palm Beach High and soon began a campaign to raise the $25,000 necessary to buy the property back. Mr. E.D. Anthony, then president of the congregation and father-in-law of current church members Betsy and Anita Anthony, sent out a community-wide appeal for 5,000 gifts of $5 each, the pastor even agreed to serve for $1 for one year. Other church members, including the mother of current member Jack Thomas, organized fundraising dinners in their backyards across the city. Members sold prized family heirlooms, and even their wedding rings according to one account, to raise the money to save the church. The campaign was a success and the ownership of the church was returned to the congregation. BLESSINGS
