1 February 2018 Hilton United Methodist Church Pastor s Corner Soak me in your laundry and I ll come out clean, scrub me and I ll have a snow-white life. Tune me in to foot-tapping songs, set these once-broken bones to dancing. Don t look too close for blemishes, give me a clean bill of health. God, make a fresh start in me, shape a Genesis week from the chaos of my life. Don t throw me out with the trash, or fail to breathe holiness in me. Bring me back from gray exile, put a fresh wind in my sails! Give me a job teaching rebels your ways so the lost can find their way home. Commute my death sentence, God, my salvation God, and I ll sing anthems to your life-giving ways. Unbutton my lips, dear God and I ll let loose with your praise. Psalm 51:7-15 The Message (MSG) I know that many people are not fond of the snow. In this current season of my life, I truly enjoy it. As the years go by, this might not always be true, but for right now it is. I love to watch out my window as the snow falls slow and gracefully or fast and furious. I enjoy shoveling, taking a walk in the quiet of a new snow fall or even crosscountry skiing. My kids like snow too. As soon as there is enough to play in, they are in their snow gear and tromping outside making snowmen, chasing the dogs, sliding through drifts, and yes, throwing snow balls at one another. For me, there is nothing more beautiful than a new fallen snow and the perfect scenery of white in the yard. That beautiful picture-perfect scene always reminds me of the scriptures we read about where our sin is washed as white as snow. Then the dogs and kids go tromping through and all that is perfect is destroyed. This really used to bother me. The beauty seemed to be ruined. In our most recent snow fall as the kids tumbled outside one by one to make foot prints and the dogs made many other prints, I was also reminded that I am blessed. That the foot prints and messy snow were a sign of love and activity and joy. That the scenery wasn t ruined, but enhanced. As the winter progresses there will be fresh new snow. the white and foot prints will be renewed. Just as our lives sometimes create a mess; God comes along and offers us grace and mercy to renew our spirits. It is then that we can give God praise!! See you in worship, Pastor Jennifer 1
2 Hello all, Flower City Work Camp 2018 is upon us! It starts Monday, April 2 nd and goes to Friday, April 6 th. There is still time to sign up for a number of different positions; Kitchen Staff, Rover, Gopher, even an usher. What s great about this mission is that FCWC makes everyone eligible and qualified. If you are in fact interested, please reach out to me via at youth@humcny.org. We currently have 10 of our youth committed and they need your prayers. With this being a first for many of the youth, anxiety runs high. I will have a list posted in the Narthex with the names of the participants and highly encourage anyone to write a note for them to read while at camp. This is one of the favorites for the youth. It can be anything... a simple prayer, a hello, and even just an encouraging note letting them know you are praying for them. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me! Thank you all for your encouraged support and prayers for this ministry and the Youth! In Him, Joe Neri youth@humcny.org GriefShare Group is Starting!

9 The following is a chart that depicts how the regular attendees on HUMC contributed their cash treasure to the cause of making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the World in This excludes roughly $18,000 in donations from unknown sources or non-regular donors. Why ashes on Ash Wednesday? Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of Lent. Lent is a time when many Christians prepare for Easter by observing a period of fasting, repentance, moderation and spiritual discipline. Ash Wednesday emphasizes two themes: our sinfulness before God and our human mortality. The service focuses on both themes, helping us to realize that both have been triumphed through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. During some Ash Wednesday services, the minister will lightly rub the sign of the cross with ashes onto the foreheads of worshipers. The use of ashes as a sign of mortality and repentance has a long history in Jewish and Christian worship. Historically, ashes signified purification and sorrow for sins. It is traditional to save the palm branches from the previous Palm Sunday service to burn to produce ashes for this service. Sometimes a small card or piece of paper is distributed on which each person writes a sin or hurtful or unjust characteristic. The cards are then brought to the altar to be burned with the palm branches. The ash cross on the forehead is an outward sign of our sorrow and repentance for sins.

11 Find Books of the Bible Read the following paragraphs and try to locate the names of twenty-seven (27) books of the Bible. Each name may span more than one word, or be confined within a larger word, so look diligently! A worldly speaker once made a few unspiritual remarks about hidden books of the Bible to be found in a series of short paragraphs. This lulu kept some people looking intensely for facts and more clear revelation. Many listeners were in a jam, especially since the books were not capitalized, but their enthusiasm produced eternal truths that struck large numbers of readers. It seemed like a hard job at first, to look for these hidden books, but it quickly became a most fascinating opportunity. Yes, there will be some really easy ones to spot, while others will be very difficult to locate. If this causes disagreements among our visitors, it may require judges to finally settle the matter before a mass exodus from these games occurs. We must admit it usually takes a minute or two to find some, and others might take several minutes. This often produces loud lamentations from at least one or two readers. Jane was quick at finding book names. She brews her coffee then places donuts on the table, so that she can eat and search at the same time. Her older brother Joe is a practical joker, a mimic ahead of his time who thinks looking for book names is too difficult, but he is very wrong, for any old hag gains a level of expertise in just reading these short paragraphs. Joe lets his personality get in the way. He lived in Johnstown for a few years but moved to York after he tripped over a hose, and broke his leg falling into the flower bed. When he tried to learn to play the banjo, Hah, I ll never get it, was his reply. So Joe left the big city and came back home. Meanwhile, Jane was dating a guy named Gene who likes to share his talents. Gene s is the personality that more people should have, because he writes poems, essays, proverbs, and adventure stories for her. Love is strong between them. Her younger brother Jud, examines and proofs this literature before it is sent to the publisher, for it s not often that someone cares for your sister like that. Well, this exercise is just about over. It would be interesting to chronicle some of the many things that you have been doing while reading. Did you eat a banana? Hum a tune? Drop a pen? Rejoice in the Lord while licking some candy? Hopefully, you had a good time and found the names of many books of the Bible. 11
