A gentle spirit through Christ

Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and

dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion,

kindness, humility, gentleness and patience."

Colossians 3:12 (TNIV).

What does it mean to dress ourselves daily with

gentleness? In the context of this passage and other

places in the scriptures, the Lord expects us to have

Christ-like consideration for others. It is hard to define,

yet we know gentleness when we see it and experience it

from others.

In Philippians 4:5 Paul encourages us to "Let our gentleness be evident to

all" (TNIV). Eugene Peterson translates this verse this way: "Make it as clear as you

can to all you meet that you're on their side, working with them and not against

them" (THE MESSAGE).

We can possess a gentle spirit because we belong to Christ and receive his strength

and are recipients of His love. We live in a culture where our witness as followers of

Jesus changes lives as we daily clothe our lives with a gentle, Christ-like kindness

toward others.

Thank you, my church family, for your love, forbearance and consideration of

others. You truly represent the Kingdom of God on earth! Lives are being changed

as we live into the bright future God has in store for us!

With Christian love, joy, and gratitude,

Andi

Small group book studies

I give thanks to God daily for the Christlike conversations we have had discussing

"Unafraid and Unashamed", by Wil Cantrel. We still have three chapters to discuss. After this

book study, you are invited to participate in our next Wednesday evening small group entitled,

"Unity of the Church and Human Sexuality".

This book is published by the General Board of Higher Education of the UMC and is divided

into four chapters with discussion questions included.

Session One: The Conversation Matters

Session Two: Loving God with Our Mind Matters

Session Three: The United Methodist Church Matters

Session Four: Finding a Way Forward Matters

Please stay tuned to the bulletin and website for the date when

this study will begin.

The cost of the book is $10. Please let Andi know if you would

like a copy or contact the church office. If you would be willing

to participate in a small group other than Wednesday, please

contact Andi at :arwoodhouse@nccumc.org.

You are invited to participate in our upcoming fall

church wide study entitled, “Earn. Save. Give.", by James

Harnish. The cost of the book is $8.

This four week curriculum will help us have a clearer

understanding of John Wesley's teachings on money and our

daily relationship with faith and money.

A DVD lesson will be offered on Sunday mornings

during Sunday School.

We will begin this study on October 29.

Questions: please contact Andi at Arwoodhouse@nccumc.org.

Walk to Feed the Hungry in Lee County

DATE: Saturday, November 4

TIME: 9:00 a.m.

PLACE: First Presbyterian Church, 203 Hawkins Avenue in Sanford.

ORGANIZED BY: Sanford Civitan Club,

We are in need of people with sponsors to walk a 5 mile walk for

hunger! If you can’t walk 5 miles, walk what you can. The more

walkers we have, the more money we can raise for the hungry.

For the past two years the Sanford Civitan Club has been instrumental in organizing the Lee

County Hunger Walk, The walker sponsorship funds collected are divided equally between the eight organizations listed

below unless designated by the sponsor to be given to a specific organization. The organizations receiving funds are: The

Breadbasket, Haven, CUOC, Meals on Wheels, Family Promise, Back Pack Program, and Outreach Missions

(homeless shelters).

A sponsor can designate any or all of their donation to a specific organization or have their donation split any way they

choose. No funds are retained by the club for any purpose including administrative costs. These are covered by the club

itself.

The 5 mile walk starts and ends at First Presbyterian church and starts promptly at 9:00 a.m. In

the event of inclement weather the walk will be held at the indoor walking tract at First Pres.

Youth are not only welcome, but are encouraged to participate. There is no minimum age

requirement.

If you have any questions, or to receive a folder for donations, please contact Brad Butler at 919-498-5068 or by email at

stogafan2002@gmail.com

Thank you for your support of this community project.

CHRISTMAS IN SEPTEMBER

September is here and you will have the opportunity to prepare a shoe box present for a

child of GOD. Inside each box is an itemized packing list by age group and sex of what should be

inside the box. A personal note, letter or a picture of our church or yourself is also encouraged.

Also requested is $5.00 to help pay postage.

Project AGAPE is a ministry to Armenia and to some of our

most desperate Christian brothers and sisters is a collaborative

effort of the North Carolina and the Western North Carolina Conferences of the United

Methodist Church in a joint effort with the Armenian Apostolic Church.

Generosity in all places

I had the privilege of attending an evening of "Summer Fest" hosted by El Refugio, the week of July 17-22.

The photo shows youth in our community attending a karate class. There were also several folks in the kitchen learning how to

prepare empanadas by our talented chef Maria Guevara.

I celebrate El Refugio connecting with our neighbors and JUMC serving as a gracious

host! The Kingdom of God is alive and unfolding before our eyes! Thanks be to God for

"generosity in all places!"

Learn Spanish with El Refugio

JUMC’s outreach ministry El Refugio begins its ELEVENTH

session of language classes on Monday, September 11. The adult

program includes three levels of English as a Second Language,

a Citizenship class for Spanish speakers, a class in reading and

writing for Spanish speakers, and Spanish as a Second Language

(SSL). In the meantime, students’ children receive free child

care and are involved in enrichment activities to learn about

cultures and other school topics. All but the SSL class meet on

Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, 6:00-8:00 p.m.

The Spanish class takes place on Tuesday and Thursday

evenings, September 12 – November 16, 6-8 pm in the JUMC

Wesley Center. The classes are helped along via online learning

between sessions – and face-to-face practice with students

learning English. It’s a great way to keep your mind sharp, learn

to communicate around the community, broaden your

perspectives and build cross-cultural relationships.

To get started: simply show up on Tuesday, September 12, at

6:00 pm! If you’d like to know what it’s like, speak with JUMC

members who’ve recently been in the class: Debra Groce, Gene

Hathaway or Paul Hill.

Howdy from Wisconsin!

This summer Deb and David Taylor were able to visit Erika Martínez Flores at

her church and parsonage in Wisconsin. (Jorge was busy at his church, so we missed

him, but saw Winky the dog and Rosita the cat—all doing well!)

Erika is pastor at Bethel UMC in Elkhorn, WI (pictured) and Richmond UMC. These

churches are part of the Whitewater Area Regional Ministry, so Erika also is involved

with ministries at three other area

churches. Jorge is pastor at New Horizon

UMC in Orfordville, WI. Erika and

Jorge both send their best to the JUMC

family!

JUMC Grounds

On Saturday, October 7, JUMC’s

outreach ministry El Refugio presents the

fourth annual Festival Latino to celebrate our

Hispanic/Latino neighbors and share the love of

Christ. This cross-cultural festival is a great

opportunity for JUMC to reach out and engage

with our community.

Come enjoy dance and music on stage, explore

Hispanic/Latino cultures, learn about El

Refugio/The Refuge and get to know our

JUMC neighbors through a fun day with music,

dance, children’s crafts, games, door prizes,

FOOD and more! National Hispanic/Latino

Heritage Month is celebrated each mid-

September to mid-October, and El Refugio’s

festival ties in with that observance.

El Refugio’s language students are taking the

lead with this year’s festival. Student teams will

set up tables dealing with various aspects of

Latino cultures, like music, art, literature,

dance, clothing, games, foods and more. Kids

in the El Refugio child enrichment program

will share their projects and talents, too.

RADICAL HOSPITALITY IS OUR GOAL!

Sign up for an hour-long shift to greet visitors (yes, in English is fine!), provide information, help park cars, hand out door

prize tickets, staff the volunteer lounge, and more.

BE THERE!

If you can’t commit to help—come anyway! Bring your family, friends, neighbors, co-workers ...even complete strangers to

experience this awesome event!

Watch the bulletin and emails for more details on how you can be involved to serve Christ and show His love to our neighbors.

Community Summer Fest a Smash Hit!

The week of July 24-29, community members enjoyed a full week of workshops, activities, hands-on lessons and FUN

at Jonesboro UMC. El Refugio’s second annual Community Summer Fest brought together dozens of adults and kids to learn,

laugh and build cross-cultural community. At least 165 folks signed in for the various sessions…some who attended just one

session, some who attended several. There were nine workshops for adults/youth and ten activity sessions for kids.

SPECIAL THANKS to El Refugio summer intern Jocabed Aragón, Executive Director Oscar Hernandez, Administrative

Assistant Alex Giraldo and the many instructors, volunteers, interpreters and participants who made this year’s event such a

success. If you didn’t get there – don’t miss it next summer!

Pass me not, O gentle Savior,

Hear my humble cry;

While on others Thou art calling,

Do not pass me by.

Refrain:

Savior, Savior,

Hear my humble cry,

While on others Thou art calling,

Do not pass me by.

Let me at Thy throne of mercy

Find a sweet relief;

Kneeling there in deep contrition,

Help my unbelief.

Refrain:

Trusting only in Thy merit,

Would I seek Thy face;

Heal my wounded, broken spirit,

Save me by Thy grace.

Refrain:

Thou the spring of all my comfort,

More than life to me,

Whom have I on earth beside Thee,

Whom in Heav’n but Thee.

Fanny Crosby 1868

Pass Me Not O Gentle Savior

Story behind the hymn.

Hers was an age of evangelistic singing missions, and Fanny Crosby’s hymns were always in request. So

popular was the little poetess that she was invited to speak at many places where these missions were held. On one

occasion, it was at a state prison. Much was hoped for from this particular meeting. As Fanny was speaking—and

her very blindness gave her power—first one prisoner and then another would interrupt by calling on the good

Lord not to pass me by.

Fanny told that she was so touched by the pleas of these men that she could not get the thought of them out of her

mind; indeed she said, I wrote the lines with the men’s pleading wail still in my ears.
