1 The Worshipping Serving Building Welcoming FOLLOWING CHRIST FROM CITY CENTER Letter from the Pastor Connection IN THIS ISSUE Time to get engaged During August, we will have a new staff position join our Main Street family, the Engagement Coordinator. This is not just a renaming of our previous Program Coordinator. We have already reassigned certain jobs and have refocused the position. Based on our purpose, United Methodists are to make disciples for the transformation of the world. We can only make disciples as we are following Christ, both individually and corporately. To that end, the Engagement Coordinator s job centers around helping our Main Street family to do the work of disciples and to be engaged in ministry. This new position is not successful if ministry happens without involvement of the laity. Our Engagement Coordinator is only successful if more of us are growing in our walk with Christ and faithfully serving. Here is a portion of the job description: Purpose: Helping the members and constituents at Main Street UMC engage in discipleship as we seek to serve Christ from city center. This position works within the mission of Main Street UMC through: Inviting using social media to invite people to engage in discipleship (following Jesus through worship, learning, serving, and giving) at MSUMC Welcoming discovering the gifts of individuals as they respond to the invitations; equipping and training those who respond to serve and lead Connecting coordinating the disciples of MSUMC as we lead others through growing closer to God and compassionately serving others Signs of Success: The Engagement Coordinator is successful as more of the MSUMC community are engaged in ministry. The Coordinator will strive to grow the depth of engagement (the amount that each disciple is involved) and the breadth of engagement (the number of different disciples engaged in ministry). Some of the specific responsibilities of this position can be found on page 2 of this newsletter. I hope that you will join me as we move forward together answering God s call in faithful service to the world.

3 3 STAT FACTS Lee Robirds, Congregational Nurse John McFadden, Director of Music Ministries CHANCEL CHOIR RESUMES REHEARSALS ON AUGUST 8 The Chancel Choir will resume rehearsals on Wednesday evening, August 8, at 6:30 pm. We have a great time in choir as we prepare anthems for each week and for special occasions like the Hanging of the Greens (yes, I said that in August!). The choir is more than just a musical organization. It really has the feeling of a family. If you re looking for a place to belong, a place where everybody knows your name as a TV show of a previous era said, you should visit a choir rehearsal. It s a great time with a great bunch of folks. We ve (hopefully!) been told to wash fruits and vegetables before eating, but now researchers are proposing a much better way to remove dirt and other substances from food surfaces. At issue is pesticide use on most of our foods. For example, apples purchased in the grocery store are washed, usually in a bleach solution, prior to sale, but this is only to remove dirt and kill any harmful microbes that may be on the fruit or vegetable (that might encourage spoilage). It has long been thought that thorough rinsing, rubbing and/or scrubbing fruits and vegetables at home would help remove pesticide residue, but researchers are finding out that is not the case. They ran an experiment using apples treated with two different pesticides, one of which is designed to penetrate the skin of the apple. They washed different groups of the apples in plain water, in a mixture of the bleach solution applied during commercial processing, and in a solution of baking soda and water. The baking soda and water solution was the most effective method of removing pesticides, however, it took 12 to 15 minutes of soaking to completely rid the pesticides used in this study. 4th Annual Music for Ministry A Christian Concert and Barbecue fundraiser for Greater Greenwood United Ministry Saturday, August 25, 2018 North Side Baptist Church 11:00 am 3:00 pm GGUM programs and services include: Crisis Ministry, Free Medical Clinic, Dental Care Ministry, and Intervention Programs. Our choir has gladly participated each year, and we are looking forward to this year as well. In addition, our own John McFadden will MC the event! All proceeds from the event will be used to assist Greenwood County residents who are in life or medical crisis. For more information, contact Researchers pointed out that while the baking soda method works better than the two methods above, it will not be consistent across all pesticides or all fruits or vegetables. However, it s good to hear that something as simple and common as baking soda is effective at removing some pesticides. So, you should wash your produce before you eat it, by rubbing it under running water or scrubbing if it has a tough skin, preferably when you bring it home. The longer pesticides sit on fruits and vegetables, the deeper they re absorbed, and the harder it is to remove them. If you want to take an extra step, consider submerging your produce in a solution of one teaspoon of baking soda to two cups of water for two minutes or more (the longer you soak, the more chemicals you get rid of). Then rinse in tap water again before eating. Of course, produce labeled USDA Organic is the best way to reduce your exposure to pesticides in produce because organic crops are grown without the use of synthetic pesticides.
