1 VOLUME 47 ISSUE 1 JANUARY 2019 THE INFORMER NEWSLETTER OF UNITED METHODIST CHURCH Minister: Phyllis Coates / revpkc@bellsouth.net / Micah 5:2-5 Tyrants have always played a ruthless game. The game is this: if I kill all my enemies, the only ones left on earth will be my friends. This is called genocide. This was Hitler s thinking. When the Shiites thought to eliminate the Sunni in Iraq, this was their thinking. The writer of this passage speaks of a time when the house of David will once again bring forth a great ruler. This shepherd will care for the people, and they shall live in peace and security. The promise of a new ruler to come from the town of Bethlehem is very familiar to all Christians and is often cited during the Advent and Christmas seasons. Micah reminds us that God is just doing his constant biblical task of saving the world. God did it with one small nation called Israel and one small backwater town named Bethlehem. Inside This Issue: Pastor s Epistle......Cover Mission/Outreach Nurture...3 Youth/Children..4 Monthly Calendar The present remains a time of suffering, and it may get worse before relief comes, but the people should not lose heart. The movement is from suffering to salvation, from defeat to victory. Here is a worthy champion of the poor who has courage and power to deliver an effective message. Micah 5: 2-5a (NRSV) 2 But you, O Bethlehem of Ephrathah, who are one of the little clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to rule in Israel, whose origin is from of old, from ancient days. 3 Therefore he shall give them up until the time when she who is in labor has brought forth; then the rest of his kindred shall return to the people of Israel. 4 And he shall stand and feed his flock in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God. And they shall live secure, for now he shall be great to the ends of the earth; 5 and he shall be the one of peace. If the Assyrians come into our land and tread upon our soil, we will raise against them seven shepherds and eight installed as rulers. Shared by Rev. Dr. Craven Williams Triad Native American Church WEBSITE: S: stjohnsumcgso@gmail.com revpkc@bellsouth.net
2 2 The Informer Volume 47 Issue 1 MISSIONS/OUTREACH The people at St. John s have always been supportive of Mission Outreach to those in need. There are several ongoing activities and some seasonal ones. The Mission Committee invites you to participate, as you feel lead to do so. If you need additional information for any project, you may contact Cheryl Clark or Carol Humble. THANK YOU for your support this past year and we look forward to a great Mission 100 Mission 100 is a project that was started a number of years ago. You are invited to make a donation to help others. Each quarter of the year, a specific project is highlighted to receive the funds. You may mark Mission 100 on your offering envelope or just list the donation amount under benevolences. Donations for the first quarter (Jan. March) will go to SHARE THE WARMTH program to help those in need with power bills during the winter months. Feed the Homeless The second Thursday of the month, St. John s provides a meal for the homeless staying at Weaver House at Greensboro Urban Ministry. Your help is needed in 2 ways. You may donate money to purchase food and/or you are invited to go and serve the meal. If you can help serve on Thursday, January 10 at 6:00, sign up on the board in the Narthex on Sunday, January 6. This is a great opportunity to share food and God s Love with others. God s Helping Hand Food Pantry Bring a bag or two of non-perishable food items to share with others and place them in the large box in the Narthex. These items are shared with those who come to the food pantry located at Groometown United Methodist Church. You may bring items at any time, but we especially encourage you to bring them the 1 st Sunday each month. You may also contribute money to this project; just mark Food Pantry on your offering envelope. Report of Advent Projects Through your generous spirit, you touched many lives this Christmas Season.

4 4 The Informer Volume 47 Issue 1 YOUTH, YOUNG ADULT & CHILDREN NEWS! It's 2019 and a new year has started! I can't believe it. This year will have so many new beginnings for so many of us but I'm not sure we can talk about those!! Jared, Lauren and Grace will be heading off to College in August and we will learn to adjust with 5 of our youth in college but they are doing a great job teaching the younger youth the ropes so they can fill in while they are gone. We are looking forward to great things in 2019! We wanted to say another thank you to everyone involved with the Christmas Program. It wasn't on the day we expected but thanks to everyone staying flexible we were able to finally get to perform the Journey to the Stable. This was something a little different this year and we hope everyone enjoyed it! It was truly a production of love and full of God's touches! The youth are getting together for our annual Christmas gathering in the first of January and will also start planning some of our yearlong activities so stay tuned for what is going to be coming up for us! There is sure to be Chili Cook-off soon and a salad lunch this spring and then a themed dinner in the summer. But more details to come so stay tuned is going to be another great year as always for this group and we look forward to sharing it with our church family!
