1 Let everything that breathes praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! Psalm 150:6 The newsletter of First United Methodist Church of Waynesburg April 2016 Dear Waynesburg First Family, May the grace and peace of God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ continue to be with you in I always thank God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. (1 Corinthians 1:3-4, New International Version) May God Almighty bless us and make us fruitful and increase our numbers. (Adapted from Genesis 28:3, New International Version) Some of our presidential candidates have been telling us what they would do their first 100 days as president, if elected. It s a way for them to let us know they our focusing on the future so that we may be convinced that we should vote for them. Something different is happening here at Waynesburg First. According to the final countdown app on my phone, on the day I am composing this letter to you, I have 100 days left in my appointment as your pastor. Yes, I m counting. Why? So that I can focus on what God wants me to accomplish in these last 100 days. If I don t focus on the present, July 1 will be here before I know it and then it will be too late. Too late to tie up the loose ends that God wants tied up so the transition to your new pastor, Rev. David Lake will be as smooth as possible. However, even in the transitions of our lives one constant should remain, our focus on Jesus Christ. Our focus on Jesus guarantees that in everything we do He will be glorified and honored. When Jesus is glorified and honored so is the Father. When we glorify and honor the Father and the Son then others are drawn to them through us and we are enabled by the Holy Spirit to share the Good News of Easter. Through His life, death and resurrection Jesus is inviting us to focus on the Good News and share it with ALL so that they might believe. May we be obedient to this invitation. In Christ s Love, Pastor Gary Pastor Gary Grau s Office Hours: Varied (see bulletin) Church Office Hours: Mon.-Fri. 8:30 am-12:30 pm. Please join us for Sunday Services: 8:30 am & 10:45 am F.I.S.H.

4 Liturgical Colors Easter The liturgical color for Easter is celebratory White or Gold, symbolizing the joy in the light of day. The Easter season continues for seven Sundays after Lent. Applying Bible Principles to Stewardship In the years prior to his assumption of power in Germany, Adolph Hitler was a master of deception. He made free use of the Christian vocabulary and talked about the blessing of Almighty God and the Christian confessions of faith which would become the pillars of his new state. He assumed the earnestness of a man who is utterly weighed down by historic responsibility. He handed out pious stories to the press, especially to the church papers. He showed his tattered Bible to many church leaders and declared that he drew the strength for his great work from the Word of God. According to one pastor, He was actually able to introduce a pietistic timbre into his voice which caused many religious people to welcome him as a man sent from God. As the world learned to its horror in later years, Hitler was an impostor. He had only used these things to mask his real intentions and to fool people. He was what could be accurately labeled the master hypocrite. He said one thing while actually doing exactly the opposite. When it comes to hypocrisy, Adolph Hitler was in a league by himself. None of us desires to be or should ever be compared to him or his despicable actions. However, when it comes to the Christian life, sometimes we, too, say one thing and do another. We pretend to be great students of the Bible, when we actually seldom look at the Book. We give the impression that we spend hours in prayer, when we very seldom engage in prayer except when at church. We pretend to love other Christians, when, in reality, we can t stand some of them. This kind of behavior is also possible when it comes to giving. We might like to convey the impression that we are good givers, and we might be reasonably successful in our efforts since other people usually do not actually see our financial situation and our giving. However, if we are trying to say one thing and do another concerning our giving to the Lord, we will be confronted by our deception every time we look at the register in our checkbook. Here s why: Our checkbook will quickly and methodically strip away our pretense. We can deceive others; we can even deceive ourselves in many areas of life, but our checkbook always tells the truth about what is really important to us. The Apostle Paul summed up this matter of saying one thing and then of doing what we say with this statement: the testimony of our conscience should be that... we have behaved in the world... with holiness and godly sincerity... by the grace of God (2 Cor. 1:12). In other words, by walking in holiness and sincerity that God provides in response to our obedience, what we do will match what we say, including in the area of giving. Think about it: If your checkbook could talk, what would it say about you and about your giving to the work of the Lord at First United Methodist Church? Would it testify that you are walking in holiness and godly sincerity in your giving, or would it have a different story to tell?
5 The café continues to thrive. Over the past 6 weeks, church family and a new cook have helped with the supply of cased bottled water as well as making food prep and clean up run more smoothly. John and Janice work together to pull the meals together. The volunteers arrive to put serving tables in order and set up the side dishes. Young ladies from the café help with setting out salt and pepper and making coffee. A café patron, who is also a social worker, runs the giveaway table. Prayer requests are put on whiteboard and lifted up when ask the blessing. A spring birthday cake was served on March 16. We appreciate desserts left from events and if you would like to bake cookies for us, we need 10 dozen, 2 cookies each, because we normally serve meals including take-outs for shut-ins or family that could not come. We are nearly out of funds due to increased patrons and food costs. We have applied for help from WPA Conference Mission Poverty Team. We have not heard from them yet. We can reapply early for another grant from Greene County Memorial Hospital Foundation. If you would like to support the café financially or through your time and energy, please contact Janice Gottschalk ( ) or any of the current volunteers. It costs about $2.25 a person to provide a balanced meal. There will be a second distribution of hygiene products on the Wednesday before Easter of items purchased with GCMHF funds, as we did at Christmas. Thank you for your prayers and support! Janice Gottschalk, Coordinator
6 Washington District s Bishop s Day on the District Monday, April 4th, 6 p.m. at Washington 1st UMC Prison Ministry News..We are currently half way through our present 40 Days of Purpose session. We are just finishing the study on the second of five purposes, FELLOWSHIP. Rick Warren, in our study, likens FELLOW- SHIP with RELATIONSHIPS. He makes the statement, The entire Bible is the story of God building a family who will love him, honor him, and reign with him forever. We talked a lot about relationships and how important they are in living the Christian life. Our study points out that the Trinity is God s relationship to himself. It further states that God has always existed in loving relationship to himself, so He has never been lonely. He didn t need a family He desired one, so He created us, invited us into his family, and shared with us all He has. We discussed what God expects us to do to restore broken relationships with family and friends, a subject very pertinent to most of the inmates. Paul points out the importance of FELLOWSHIP in Ephesians 4:3 where he states You are joined together with peace through the Spirit, so make every effort to continue together in this way. It takes both God s power and our effort to produce a loving Christian community. The men were reminded from the study that real fellowship, whether in a marriage, a friendship, or your church depends on honesty and frankness. The Bible tells us there is a right time and a right way to approach others in trying to mend those broken relationships. Ecclesiastes 8:6 For there is a proper time and procedure for every delight, though a man s trouble is heavy upon him. As we are constantly reminding the inmates, it not always what you say but HOW you say it. The chapters on FELLOWSHIP (RELATIONSHIPS) ends with a comment that allows the inmates to realize that while they may not always agree on a solution, it is important to strive for that ending in a spirit of harmony. Reconciliation focuses on the relationship, while resolution focuses on the problem. Thank you for continuing to keep the inmates and our prison ministry in your prayers. Connie, Marilyn, Shirley, Rex
