Mt. Zion United Methodist Church Circuit Rider October 2016 Brothers and sisters, Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! I would like to invite all of you to attend our annual Charge Conference on October 30 at 3:00 p.m. Charge Conference is something akin to the annual business meeting of the congregation. At Charge Conference, we vote on incoming officers, approve the budget for the coming year, vote on updates and corrections to the membership roll, and handle various other items. Although only Church Council members can vote at Charge Conference, everyone has voice and many of you would find it interesting. One of the things that makes Charge Conference interesting is the exposure we get to the work of other nearby congregations. Charge Conferences are usually held in clusters. When we gather on October 30, there will be four churches present: Mt. Zion UMC, Hollywood UMC, St. Matthews UMC, and Mt. Calvary UMC. Sunday Sermons and Scripture Now Available On-Line Did you miss a Sunday? Did you feel so inspired by a sermon that you feel someone else needs to hear it? Or just want to enjoy the sermon again? To access our Sunday sermons and scripture, visit www.mtzionmech.org and click Sermons in the top banner. Sermons and scriptures uploaded every week and are available for 90 days. For the first portion of the Conference, we will all gather together in one room. Our District Superintendent, Rev. Rebecca Iannicelli, will lead us in a conversation about how we walk our members down an intentional pathway of discipleship formation. For the second part of the conference, each church/charge will move to a separate room to conduct business. As I continue to meet with church members in small groups, there is one thing I m hearing over and over again: This church is my family. This is always a wonderful thing to hear. But what makes it especially wonderful in this congregation is that people who have only recently joined are saying the same thing. That means we are doing a great job of adopting new family members into the Body of Christ. Keep up the good work!

Page 2 Circuit Rider October 2016 Music Ministry Update The Mt. Zion Music Ministry is off to a great start this year. The Chancel Choir is already stretching their wings to a variety of music and styles. The group will be starting work on our Christmas cantata Go Sing It on the Mountain this month in preparation for our Music Ministry Christmas Prism on December 17. As always, we are thankful for your support of our ministry so we may continue to prepare a diverse spectrum of music to glorify His name. Our Chancel Choir is growing as well, except in our Tenor and Bass section. Even though we have the best 5 Tenors and Basses, we tend to feel alone compared to the Sopranos and Altos. If you sing Tenor or Bass, do not be afraid, come give Chancel Choir a try. Singing IS good for your health. If you sing Soprano or Alto and want to join, we will welcome you with open arms. We strive to help all members learn how to read music and sing their part. Karen Allen hosted a Handbell Workshop here at Mt. Zion on Saturday September 17, bringing 24 people from the Southern Maryland area together. Karen continues to demonstrate exceptional leadership in teaching her members how to read music and attain more challenging music. The Children s Music Ministry has also gotten off to a great start. Additionally, the Tone Chimes have resumed practicing with several new members. Beginning in October our children s music groups will share Sundays with Tone Chimes playing at the 8:30 service while Voices for Christ will sing at the 11:00 service. They will alternate each time they play as they did last year. Lastly, our Praise Band continues to attract new members. We have been practicing every week all summer and throughout the year. The Praise Band has found challenges in learning contemporary Christian music. Also, many of our members are youth members which is providing a great outlet for their interests. If you want to come sing the songs you hear on the contemporary Christian radio stations, come visit on Sunday at 6pm. Come see us play at the Youth Group LipSync Battle on Saturday, October 8. Wanted: Youth to operate Sound System Does your youth attend service every week? We are looking for youth who would like to learn how to operate our sound system to support our 8:30 service with keeping our sound in balance. In February, we launched our podcast service where you can listen to scriptures and sermons that are up to 90 days old. We upload new sermons every week. Visit www.mtzionmech.org and click Sermons in the top banner to access our podcasts. Soon we will be sharing our podcasts through itunes for members who wish to access our scriptures and sermons through that service. Questions about our Music Ministry, operating the sound system or accessing the podcast services? Please contact Bryan Smith smithbd29@gmail.com.

We had a good turnout of people with a variety of talents that were immediately put to use. First we had an overview presented by Pastor Steve as to the purpose of the committee. The overview was far reaching with boundless creativity ruling the day. Another short presentation was made as to the available supplies at hand. We have already had some craft items and fabrics being donated by church members. So if you have any usable craft items that you no longer have a use for, please let us know. Once we took stock of what we had on hand, we split into groups to develop ideas. WOW! The creative juices started flowing! So many ideas and so little time. Rather than blanket the sanctuary at one time with our ideas, we will begin in mid-october phasing in the decorations as they are completed. We hope to have everything in place by the first week of November. Our next meeting will be held on October 13, 6:30pm in the blue room. A group will be assembling floral decorations for the windows. If this is something you enjoy doing or want to learn how to do, please join us! There is room at the table for your creativity and talents. The Worship Committee is preparing for All Saints Sunday. Please look for an insert in the bulletin. You can submit the name of a family member or friend who passed away October 1 2015-October 1, 2016. These names will be read during all 3 services. Please provide contact information of a family member since some of those passing may have family members not listed in our Directory. An address is preferred. We will send letters to family members to let them know we will be remembering and honoring their loved one. These letters will be sent during the first week of October. Please submit names of family members or friends who passed away prior to the above dates. A booklet of remembrance will be included in the All Saints Sunday bulletin with their names.

Page 4 Circuit Rider October 2016 Treasure A Heart Transforming Journey On Sunday, October 23rd, we will begin a church-wide study and worship emphasis called Treasure: A Stewardship Program on Faith and Money. The study will be based on Jesus words, Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also (Matthew 6:21). Over a period of four weeks, we will look at the many ways that our treasure (time, energy, money) affects our hearts. We will consider how financial challenges in our personal lives affect our relationships with people and with God. We will see how giving helps to determine the way we feel and act. If you have stress related to money or feel there may be more that God is calling you to do with your resources, this will be a helpful study. At the end of the four weeks, we will have the opportunity to make personal commitments of giving to Mt. Zion for the coming year. All of us will receive commitment cards in the mail, and the cards will also be available on Sunday mornings. We can fill out these cards and bring them to worship on Sunday, November 13th. We look forward to an exciting few weeks of considering our treasure and God s treasure. Schedule for the Treasure series Week 1: Where Is Your Treasure? (Matthew 6:19-21) Week 2: The Problem with Two Masters (Matthew 6:24) Week 3: Giving Your Treasure Back to God (Matthew 6:1-6) Week 4: Don t Worry Bout a Thing (Matthew 6:25-34) The Zella s Stewards class and the new Young Adults class will be offering this study during their 9:45 am class time. An evening class will be offered during the High School Youth Group time. Everyone is welcome to join this class. Treasure, is designed to engage your head, heart, and hands. Sign up now so we can secure space and teachers for this heart transforming journey. Sign-up sheets can be found on the bulletin board outside the high school youth room.

A few Friendly Reminders for Sunday School Please make sure you have filled out a 2016/2107 registration form for this year for each of your children. These must be updated every year due to important info that might have changed since last year. When bringing your children to S.S. Please Do Not drop your child off before 9:40. A few of our teachers attend the 8:30 service and are not in their classrooms until then. We ask that parents also pick up their children promptly at 10:45. A few teachers attend the 11:00 service & they also have to clean up the rooms. We would like them to be able to get to the church on time. Thank You for your cooperation & understanding : ) God Bless Coins for Caring Children s Giving Ministry Being generous with our Blessings is an important part of our children s faith journey. There is no amount too small when given by a child. The spare changes they bring in as an offering is a simple act that teaches them to give to others just as Jesus would like us to do. The children love to put their coins into the coins for caring wishing well! The coins are used to help people in many ways including the food pantry at Mt. Zion. Encourage your children to be a part of the giving : ) Bible Presentation - Sunday Oct 9th at the 8:30 and 11:00 services for upper elementary grades.

I almost forgot about the pie eating contest at the car show, our own Eddie Davis won. He enjoyed a fresh homemade apple pie provided by the Mennonite Ladies. The ice cream contest was won by Devin Little. Eddie Davis October 2016 Justice for all. Amen! Along with the laughter from the other customers nearby I heard a woman remark, That s what s wrong with this country. Kids today don t even know how to pray. Asking God for ice cream! Why, I never! Hearing this, my son burst into tears and asked me, Did I do it wrong? Is God mad at me? As I held him and assured him that he had done a terrific job and God was certainly not mad at him, an elderly gentleman approached the table. He winked at my son and said, I happen to know that God thought that was a great prayer. Really? my son asked. Cross my heart. Then in a theatrical whisper he added, Too bad she never asks God for ice cream. A little ice cream is good for the soul sometimes. Naturally, I bought my kids ice cream at the end of the meal. My son stared at his for a moment and then did something I will remember the rest of my life. He picked up his sundae and without a word walked over and placed it in front of the woman. With a big smile he told her, Here, this is for you. Ice cream is good for the soul sometimes, and my soul is good already. Thank You Danielle Ray for performing the National Anthem. George Hill VP UMM Devin Little Speaking of ice cream... The Ice Cream Prayer, Author Unknown Last week I took my children to a restaurant. My six year old son asked if he could say grace. As we bowed our heads he said, God is good. God is great. Thank you for the food, and I would even thank you more, if Mom gets us ice cream for dessert. And Liberty and Thank you to everyone that came and supported the High School Youth Group s First Annual Smash-a-Thon.

Our next meeting will be October 9, 7:30am in the blue room. Any questions, please call me anytime. Thank you and Blessings to all, Carolyn Ayers, President 301-884-5523. The United Methodist Women Circle of Friends held our monthly meeting for September on the 10th in the blue room of the Family Life Center. We had seventeen members in attendance. Our meeting began at 7am instead of our regular time of 7:30am. We completed our business meeting by 7:30 at which time Pastor Steve joined us for a meal of breakfast casseroles, biscuits, fruit and pastry. After our meal, Pastor Steve led us in a small group meeting to help him get acquainted with our members. We each shared information about who we are and where we came from. He is interested in our experiences and vision for Mt. Zion. The gathering was very informative. We even learned new things about each other. Thank you, Pastor Steve for your time and interest. After our meeting we prepared for our bake sale which we held during the UMM 4th Annual Car Show. We were glad to be inside because it was really hot outside. No rain, Praise God! I want to thank everyone who baked and worked. I can always depend on the tireless generosity of our ladies. A big thank you to everyone who purchased our homemade goodies. On Tuesday August 30th, we made our third visit to the Charlotte Hall Veteran's Home for our monthly sing-a-long with the veterans. There were 27 veterans in attendance and seven of our members joined them in song. Lucy Crabtree was gracious enough to lead us in Trish's absence and Karen Allen accompanied us on the piano. We all sang, clapped and laughed, one gentleman even had tears in his eyes. Please feel free to join us even if you don't belong to our COF. Our next sing-a-long is on October 18th. at 2pm. On Friday the 2nd and Saturday the 3rd of September, we attended the Hungry Team Yard Sale and sold hot dogs, chips, sodas and baked goods. I again want to thank the ladies for all of the delicious baked goods. I especially want to thank Priscilla and Marilyn who worked in the kitchen with me both days. We did very well and will put our proceeds to use in our missions. I want to catch all the early Christmas shoppers. We still have prayer cubes available. They would make great stocking stuffers and will enhance the prayer lives of your children and grandchildren. We are giving our ovens a rest for a bit but will soon be preparing for our luminaries for the Christmas Eve services. We will be having our Stone Soup Sundays in January and February. They were a great success last year, and we hope you will join us in 2017! May the Lord bless you and keep you; may He make His face shine upon you and be gracious unto you, may He lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace. (Numbers 6:24-26) God Bless you all, Carolyn Ayers COF President

Our families are learning our drop-off and pickup procedures, as well as the classroom rules and expectations. The children are very excited to learn, and even more excited to meet their new friends and teachers. We are gearing up for Movie Night, a field trip to Serenity Farms, Parent-Teacher conferences, student pictures, and our first fundraiser Square1 Art. October will be a busy month and will be a lot of fun for everyone! We would like to welcome Pastor Steve and his family. We are excited to work with you in the future. Thank you to everyone for their support! We have such amazing parents and staff; we could not imagine life without them. The preschool is always looking for donations. Any donations are greatly appreciated. Please remember to pray for this ministry and the families that are involved. If you know of anyone that may be interested in enrolling their child or children please give them our contact information or they may visit www.mtzionpreschool.com.
Page 14 Circuit Rider October 2016 Continued from page 3 Worship Arts/Worship Committees The Worship Committee is seeking information from anyone knowing of a reliable metal replating company located either in Maryland or the tri-state area. We want to replate the brass cross and candlesticks on the altar. The set was donated and inscribed back in the mid-fifties. Re-plating will accomplish two things: preserve a part of our history and provide a newer, non-tarnish/no fingerprint finish. Once we learn of a company(s), get an estimate, we will send them to get the job done. So look for the cross and candlesticks to disappear for an unknown period of time. We will be using temporary candles and candlesticks during the interim. During November the Worship Committee will be providing decorative collection crates for canned goods, boxed dinners, and cereals to help the Hungry Team stock the food pantry. With Thanksgiving and Christmas right around the corner, this is a good time to help the Hungry Team help the less fortunate. Mark your calendars for the HANGING OF THE GREENS on Saturday, November 26 at 9:30am. Donuts juice and coffee will be provided and then we roll up our sleeves! But before we can do that, we need a Black Friday Crew to get all the decorations out of the shed, the Chrismon trees set up in the sanctuary and fellowship hall. So if shopping on this day is not our thing, maybe this will fill the bill. Each year we have different numbers of people come out to help. With enough people, this job takes about an hour of your time. Please let me know if you or your group is available. Joan Ritchie, Chairperson Thanksgiving Eve Ecumenical Services Once again the churches which support the Hungry Team will gather Thanksgiving Eve for wor-ship and fellowship. Mark your calendars for this annual opportunity to worship with our neighbors and to remember those who need a helping hand. What: Thanksgiving Eve Ecumenical Service Where: Living Word Community Church 39371 Harpers Corner Rd, Mechanicsville, MD 20659 When: 7:00 pm, Wednesday, November 23 Who: Several clergy and laity will lead worship All of us will welcome one another! Why: To worship and serve Bring non-perishable food and an offering to benefit the people served by the Hungry Team.
