Chevy Chase United Methodist Church

H ighlights Chevy Chase United Methodist Church Once a Methodist, always a Methodist! says 35-year CCUMC member Mildred Millie Miller, who turns 100 years young on July 14. It s Bastille Day! she points out. And I ve been to Paris several times. She s also been a Methodist for a century. Millie is a remarkable lady, who until two years ago drove her car to CCUMC every Sunday for service, participated in UMW and Bible study, and relished her many friends among the church membership. Born in 1917, she grew up on Capitol Hill as an active member of Epworth UMC. She met neighbor Woody Miller in Sunday School when she was 10 years old, and knew then that there might be a future for them. Early in his life, her beau had been christened in 1916 at the little brown shingled Methodist church at the corner of Connecticut Avenue and Shepherd Street in Chevy Chase (now CCUMC), near where his father worked with the trolley company. As they grew, Millie went off to the University of Maryland, became a Tri-Delta Sorority sister, and majored in science and home economics, while Woody enrolled at George Washington University. They married in 1941. Then came World War II. Millie joined up as a staffer in the government censorship office, and Woody headed to Dutch Harbor in the Aleutian Islands (cont d. p. 9) We will welcome very talented Tanya Langlois to CCUMC as our new Director of Music Ministry at the end of July. Tanya has been serving as Director of Music Ministry at Saint Nicholas Lutheran Church in Huntingtown, Maryland for two years. Before stepping into the directing role, she spent five years as the alto in a professional quartet of parish singers at Saint Luke s Anglican Church in Bladensburg. In 2016, she began her formal study of the organ and is currently pursuing her graduate diploma in Church Music from Shenandoah University. She also teaches voice and piano privately throughout the DC metropolitan area. (cont d. p.9) Pastor Kirkland is returning to Africa University in Mutare, Zimbabwe this summer as a member of the Baltimore -Washington & Zimbabwe Annual Conferences partnership. For nearly 20 years, the Baltimore-Washington Conference has sent clergy and laity to support the continuing education of the nearly 500 United Methodist clergy serving churches in Zimbabwe. Those 500 clergy will travel by car, bus, and even bicycle or foot, to further their development as pastors and deepen their support for one another. The team from the Baltimore-Washington Conference includes Bishop LaTrelle Easterling, (cont d. p.9) Worship Schedule Pastor s Post Children & Youth UMW Legacy Luncheon 2 3 4 6 Opportunities Social Concerns People Annual Conference Calendar & Staff 7 8 9 10 11

I ll never forget how a trusted colleague and mentor described the work of the 2008 United Methodist General Conference. When I asked him why the General Conference was unable to find a way forward through our denomination s theological and social disagreements he said, 1,000 people called Methodists from all over the world just showed that we are more un-tied than united. The General Conference is the church s top legislative body. Every four years lay and clergy delegates from annual conferences across the world meet to review our shared rules and beliefs which are found in our governing document the Book of Discipline. Much of the time at General Conference is devoted to celebrating and supporting the best of what it means to be a United Methodist. Previous General Conferences have set church-wide goals such as founding Africa University, raising $75 million dollars to help eradicate malaria, establishing global scholarships for minorities and indigenous young people, and maintaining full administrative funding for the United Methodist Committee on Relief. When the General Conference sets goals like these I am reminded of our ability to do great things for God and others as a global church. However, my colleague and mentor had a point about our being more un-tied than united. If your only exposure to General Conference is from stories carried by national media then you probably only know about their inability to find common ground on some of the most pressing issues before us today. For several decades the General Conference has been at an impasse on ordaining LGBTQI persons who express a call to ministry and on permitting same-gender weddings in our churches. The inability to find a way forward on these matters continues to cause pain and frustration for all sides of the church because we remain stuck in the same disagreements and division. One of the consistent messages in the Apostle Paul s writing is the Christian call to live into the unity given to us through the Holy Spirit. In the letter to the Ephesians Paul writes, There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all (Ephesians 4:4-6). It should not surprise us that in our diversity we will also find disagreements. Sometimes these disagreements are minor (what color should we paint a renovated classroom, what s an ideal format for a worship bulletin) and sometimes our disagreements can tempt us to remain divided. John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist movement, once addressed how Christians can seek unity by focusing on the fundamentals of Jesus love and our call to share good news with others. Wesley says, But although a difference in opinions or modes of worship may prevent an entire external union, yet need it prevent our union in affection? Though we cannot think alike, may we not love alike? May we not be of one heart, though we are not of one opinion? Without all doubt, we may. Herein all the children of God may unite, notwithstanding these smaller differences. These remaining as they are, they may forward one another in love and in good works. The 2016 General Conference was a lot like the 2008 General Conference. Methodists celebrated incredible mission and ministry and set new goals for improving global health and investing and engaging in ministry with the poor. Methodists were also unable to find agreement on including LGBTQI persons in ministry and in the full life of the church. In response to the ongoing impasse at General Conference, our Bishops created a Commission on A Way Forward, which will do a complete examination and possible revision of every paragraph of the Book of Discipline concerning human sexuality and explore options that help to maintain and strengthen the unity of the church. This Commission has met several times and will continue its work at a meeting on July 19-21 and is expected to complete its work in the spring of 2018. The Commission s work will include a series of recommendations that the Bishops will consider as they make their own recommendations to a special session of General Conference to be held in the early summer of 2019. I invite you to join me in praying for the Commission on A Way Forward and for our Bishops. This is important work that has the potential to move us from being un-tied to living into a new kind of unity. I am hopeful for the future of our church because I believe God desires to lead us into a future that is filled with hope. And I am hopeful for the future of our ministry here at Chevy Chase United Methodist Church because of how we continue to live into our Christian unity by focusing on ways to grow in our love of God and our love of our neighbors. Bethesda UMC and Chevy Chase UMC are teaming up again to pray for the church. We are going to hold daily prayers over conference calls during the week when the Commission on A Way Forward meets in July. I hope you will also consider dialing into these times for prayer together as we seek God s will for Christian unity. Information about these prayer conference calls will be shared soon in our weekly email and Sunday bulletins. Peace, Pastor Kirkland

Youth Ministry at Chevy Chase UMC encourages every student to come as they are to know, love, and serve Christ through mission, fellowship and fun. Nine youth were confirmed as members of the United Methodist Church on Pentecost Sunday, June 4. Amy Holton, Director of Youth and Children s Ministry, Pastoral Intern Nick McMichael and Pastor Kirkland Reynolds welcomed them into the church. If you have youth in your family who are rising 6th graders or older and wish to receive a notice about start-up activities in the fall, please call Susie Sabatano in the office at 301-652-8700 or write Susie at ssabatano@chevychaseumc.org. A group of youth and adults under the leadership of Amy Holton, our Director of Youth and Children s Ministry will be off to Detroit,MI on Saturday, July 22 to participate in the Motown Mission Experience. To learn more about the program visit Motown Mission on Facebook or MotownMission.org on the web.

If you are interested in either teaching or assisting with Sunday school in the fall, please contact Amy Holton at aholton@chevychaseumc.org or 301-652-8700. On Sunday, June 25 we celebrated the baptisms of Avery and Olivia Donoho, children of Patrick and Stephy Donoho. Children are invited to attend Summer Sunday school through Sunday, August 27. This summer the children are exploring plant life and gardening all while growing closer to God. Summer Sunday School is on the first floor and is multiage for rising PreK - 5th grade. Nursery care through age 3 will continue through the summer in Room 212. Karen Daniels and her daughter Angeline have graciously offered to be teachers for the summer. If you are willing to be called upon to assist occasionally please contact Amy at aholton@chevychaseumc.org.

On June 11, the entire church gathered together for a special worship service and luncheon to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the formation of the United Methodist Women. Our guest preacher was Rev. Dr. Theresa Thames, the Associate Dean for Religious Life and of the Chapel at Princeton University. During the service the UMW gave out several awards for Outstanding Service to Mission. Awardee Ruth Powers (left), a member of UMW for more than 30 years has been the long-time leader of Faith Circle and for many years, the stalwart backbone of the Christmas Bazaar and Rummage Sale. She ran what used to be called white elephants until the name was changed into the more genteel Attic Treasures. All of those thousands of dollars Ruth helped to raise have gone directly into support of UMW missions. Carol Miller (right), brought international concerns into our midst with her experience in international organizations and her three Ethiopian children. She encouraged our support of Kechene Orphanage in Ethiopia, to which both UMW and the CCUMC Missions Committee have contributed educational supplies and sports equipment for girls. Legacy Luncheon Paul Tiao (above), the chair of CCUMC Missions and Social Concerns Committee, has been responsible for our involvement in Wider Circle and the Christmas Angel Tree. Just this year, in response to the rise in hate crimes, he helped launch Communities United Against Hate in Montgomery County, encouraging all of us to be more involved. Rev. Dr. Theresa Thames The Board of the CCUMC UMW celebrated in period clothing.

Plan now to attend this weekend of learning about missions of the UMW at the Pooks Hill Marriott. The plenary class is on Covenant Community; then choose either Climate Justice or Missionary Conferences as your other class. (Judy Smith will lead a one hour focus group doing Dance and Tone. ) Meet women and men from all over the Baltimore-Washington Conference who are committed to mission and to spiritual growth. Please spread the word to anyone you know who might be interested: This series of our popular citizenship classes will run until August 5. The classes are free and run from 10am to noon in the Rainbow Room. In response to the needs of the students we have added an English language class from noon until 1:00 pm. A special feature of our classes is providing mentors to guide the students on an individual basis. For more information about participating please contact Judy Smith, smarmayor@aol.com or Bob Levering, bob.levering @gmail.com. It cannot be that the people should grow in grace unless they give themselves to reading. A reading people will always be a knowing people. John Wesley Pastor Kirkland is holding a series of book discussions this summer. Each discussion will take place after worship at approximately 11:10 am. You are invited to add one or all of the books to be discussed to your summer reading list. Find the book (or books) you d like to study with others in the church and come to the scheduled discussion with your reflections and questions to share. Sunday, July 9 - Discussing Michael Eric Dyson s book Tears We Cannot Stop: A Sermon to White America Sunday, August 27 - "Flunking Sainthood: A Year of Breaking the Sabbath, Forgetting to Pray, and Still Loving My Neighbor" by Jana Riess Yes, we need to find one or more people to help with the sound board during worship. We ll provide the training if you ll help us once a month or more. It s not very complicated to turn mics off or on, make adjustments to volume and to flip a switch to record the sermon. Please contact Pastor Kirkland at kreynolds@chevychaseumc.org. In July the Library Study Group will provide the meal for the homeless. I want to thank this group for their many years of service to the homeless. They have been dedicated volunteers! August is always our toughest month to provide a meal for the homeless at Our Lady of Lourdes. Washington clears out in August and most of us are on vacation. I ll just be getting back from vacation before our meal on August 20. I plan to buy fried chicken but still need all the side dishes and dessert. I ll send around a request several weeks beforehand as well as reminders closer to Sunday, August 20. Please sign up to help if you plan on being in town. Thanks to all our June volunteers the men and women we serve loved the meatloaf! Apparently our meatloaf meal is the favorite dinner of the year! I always try to talk to the people we serve to find out what they d like to eat and what they have a hard time finding on the street. Protein and fresh vegetables are what they need and want. One woman told me that she always looks forward to the 3 rd Sunday of the month because CCUMC provides great meals. Please know that these men and women are most grateful for our service. Please let me know if you have any questions or if you cook and want to receive service hours. Thank you to all our wonderful volunteers!

We are thankful for a strong group of fifteen people from CCUMC who walked in the DC Pride Parade on Saturday, June 10 alongside six other UM churches and groups from the DC capital region. Despite the heat, we shared communion, song, and prayer before stepping off on the 1.5 mile parade route lined with our LGBTQ friends and allies. The clergy walked in front, holding the banner United Methodist Churches of the National Capital Region. Each church carried their own sign and rainbow flags were flying. Although we were rerouted for a short distance due to protestors, the tone of the day remained positive and celebratory to live up to this year s theme, Unapologetically Proud. It was a moving experience for us to be among the sea of people affected by our Book of Discipline. We were thankful to be able to extend our welcome and support. We hope to make this a yearly event for CCUMC, so mark your calendars to watch for next year s date! For more information, contact Rebecca Walker, rch3b@yahoo.com. CCUMC is in the process of gauging whether there would be interest and availability within our congregation to be Good Neighbors to a refugee family. Partnering with Lutheran Social Services (LSS), we would help a family get established during their first year in the DC Metro area. Depending on our resources, we could offer support at any of four pre-defined levels, outlined below. Level 4 support consists of collecting furnishing and supplies for newly-arrived families. Level 3 support consists of six months worth of help in core support areas such as educational tutoring, professional development, English tutoring, and community guidance. Level 2 supports consists of providing all the furnishings and household supplies needed for the family s apartment, as well as six months worth of help in three core support areas of our choice. Level 1 support consists of rental assistance for the family s first nine months, providing all the furnishings and household supplies needed for the apartment, as well as a years worth of help in three core support areas of our choice. In order to participate at any level, we would need to have a dedicated coordinator and a team of volunteers able to provide about 2 to 4 hours of assistance per week in a given support area. If the possibility of serving in the Good Neighbor program interests you, feel free to write to Virginia Momirovic (tauss7@hotmail.com) for a packet of more detailed information and to make your interest known.

A letter to the CCUMC Congregation: Ethan and I started at CCUMC just after we got married. This congregation has been so instrumental in not only the first year of our marriage and living together, but also through all the other ups and downs of everything these last 3 years and our first pregnancy. The love, prayers and guidance we have received from everyone has been such a blessing, we are eternally grateful! With our families living in another state having a support system so close to us was really important. We wanted to say thank you all, you are forever in our hearts and prayers, and we will see you on August 13 for Edrea Grace Shearer's baptism! Love, Beth, Ethan, and Edrea Shearer Address after June 27: 388 Walnut St. Curwensville, PA 16833 Millie Miller Celebrates (cont d. from p.1) with the U.S. Navy Supply Corps. They were apart for the remainder of the war. With the war over, Millie and Woody purchased a house in far Hillcrest Heights, D.C. and Millie taught school, while Woody built his insurance business, even acquiring a bus company when the client couldn t pay its bills. Woody never got Chevy Chase out of his mind, and when the new condominium at 8101 Connecticut was built in 1982, he and Millie were among the first owners to move in. Woody passed away in 1991, and Millie has continued her active church membership ever since. Millie s presence at CCUMC remains apparent, from the remodeled Moller pipe organ in the Sanctuary, to friend Janet Griffith, who brings her copies of church publications and news, to her sacred spot in the traditional service. Her memories of CCUMC are the warmest, and probably the longest, as she enters her second century. Welcome to Tanya (cont d. from p.1) Tanya lives in Virginia with her husband, pianist Michael Langlois, who serves as the Director of Music at Saint John the Apostle Roman Catholic Church in Leesburg. Tanya and Michael frequently appear in recital together and will be performing Schumann s op. 24 this fall. She began her musical studies at the age of seven with the piano and cello but she chose to pursue voice as her primary instrument, going on to obtain Bachelor and Master of Music degrees in voice from the University of Maryland. She minored in piano performance and continued to play cello with her string quartet during her time at UMD. She has appeared across the United States and in Europe singing in recital, oratorio performances, and on the operatic stage. We are looking forward to having her join our church staff. You will meet her soon on a date to be announced! Pastor Off to Africa (cont d. from p.1) and District Superintendent Gerry Green. In addition to supporting the week of continuing education for clergy, the team will visit a UMC run children s orphanage and will help a church that is currently expanding its building and investing in water wells in its community. Africa University continues to be one of the great global projects of the United Methodist Church. The University was founded in 1984 when two African United Methodist bishops challenged their colleagues at the United Methodist Board of Higher Education and Ministry to support the establishment of a university in Africa. The board presented a plan for the pan-african university to the 1988 General Conference, the denomination s top lawmaking body, which voted to establish it. The university received its charter from the Zimbabwean government and classes began in 1992. The first 14 students went to school when it was just tall grass and weeds, said Zimbabwe Bishop Eben K. Nhiwatiwa, who was one of the pioneering faculty members of the university. Now, the university boasts more than 7,000 graduates from 32 African countries. The Africa University class of 2017 was the largest yet, with 841 graduating in early June.

For three days this spring I was a delegate to the Annual Conference of the Baltimore-Washington Conference representing Chevy Chase United Methodist Church. Although the sessions were long, I found the conference interesting, informative and with the addition of hymns, songs, powerful speeches and sermons, quite joyful and inspiring. It is a fact that in these times of division which seems to have permeated so much of our public and private lives, the theme of the conference: We are One: Connected in Covenant, was appropriate and even vital for the continued existence of the United Methodist Church. Bishop Esterling in her opening remarks stated that the word convenant has been used through the ages to identify our relationahip with God. It is a permanent and unbreakable bond. Contracts can be broken, covenants endure. Disagreements may occur but the bond between us and God continues. Bishop Esterling explained that in these covenants God calls upon the faithful to trust and obey. How we choose to live our lives is our response to this covenant. If we allow ourselves to be divided we will lose our moral witness to the world. That theme resonated throughout the conference. That there are serious disagreements in the church was evident when Philip Wogoman, longtime pastor of Foundry Methodist Church and a clergy member for sixty years, turned in his clergy credentials. He took this step as a protest against the church s refusal in 2016 to ordain T.C. Morrow, a lesbian, and its decision this year to delay action. Since 1984 the United Methodist Church prohibits the ordination of self-avowed practicing homosexuals. Another concurrent theme of the conference was the idea that clergy and laity must be one: connected, not divided. Although we can never be equal to God, we can be equal to each other. A powerful session was devoted to celebrating and challenging Methodists to understand their role as laity. This was a call to explore and become more active particpants in discipleship. A panel constituted of United Methodist laity demonstrated how laity can be involved in making disciples. Emphasis was on the cornerstones of discipleship: hospitality (welcoming everyone), offering Christ (getting people to step through that church door),, purpose (growing and expanding one s faith through participation), and engagement ( reaching out to others in the community). The serious work of the conference was to vote on four resolutions affecting the Baltimore Washington Conference and five amendments offered at all conferences throughout the world. Those resolutions which passed included such actions as a boycott of Hewlett Packhard products which are used by the Israeli military, rejoining the Religious Coalition of Reproductive Choice, and providing financial support for moving expenses for retired clergy. The resolution which encouraged the Board of Pensiions and the Mid-Atlantic Foundation to expand their socially responsible investment screens and refrain from investment in Hewlit Packhard, Motorola and Caterpillar because of these companies involvement in the Israil- Palestine conflict was defeated. The four amendments covered topics such as the equal value of men and women in the eyes of God, expanding the list of characteristics that will not bar people from membership to include gender, ability, age and marital status. The voting results of these amendments will be known later in the summer. In the ordination ceremony Thursday evening, one person was commissioned as Deacon, nine perople as provisional Elders, and ordained seven as Elders with full membership into the conference. One prerson was readmitted to the order of Elders. During this impressive ceremony, Bishop Ernest Lygth used two Biblical passages for his message: Luke 11:5-13, where a friend goes to a neighbor and asked for breath at midnight, and Exodus 16L 1-4;, where God provides manna to the Israelites as they roamed in the wilderness. In both passages the emphasis was on Jesus Christ who unites us and is the bread of life. And what is the message of the Conference for our church? Throughout the conference, the idea of clergy and laity as one was clear. John Wesley encouraged his followers to go out, reach out and bring people in. His disciples, the laity, were responsible for the growth of the church. It was stressed that the youth must be involved as active and equal partners. Opportunties for youth to serve in the church and the communities must be initiated. The youth can be mentors to younger children, helpers to the elderly. In a stirring video presentation the Conference Council on Youth Ministries declared that the youth are disciples in training, not disciples in waiting. The youth asked in a video: Do you see us? Please see us, hear us, include us and love us. There can be no more powerful message than that. The survival of our church, all churches, really depends on how we see, hear and include everyone in all aspects of church life. We are all equal partners in this journey.
