Going GREEN: How Do YOU Want the Sonburst?

Facebook: Mooresville First United Methodist Church

Senior Pastor’s Note Dear Church Friends,

In his small group study “Change the

World,” Rev. Mike Slaughter

calls for Christians to do

something. Rev. Dennis will

be preaching a sermon se‐

ries based on this Bible

study that has the focus of

helping us “recover the

message and mission of Jesus.” In this se‐

ries you will be challenged to join a small

group and challenged to rethink the mean‐

ing of “church.” Did you know that

“church” is a verb? It is not a building or

weekly gathering, but an active body

working to change the world in Jesus’s

name.

Each week you will be challenged to an

action—to do something. ALL Christians

are called to: follow, welcome, feed, heal,

rescue, and GO!

Check it out! Pastor Dennis

Choose one of three ways to let us know how you want to receive the Sonburst:

1. Call the church office and tell us (317) 831‐3376

2. Email us: [email protected]

3. Sign‐up online for the eNewsletter:

Go to: www.MooresvilleFUMC.org

Select “Current Events” tab then select “Go Green.” You will need to enter in your email address twice on two web pages.

Making Christian disciples by loving God, loving others, and serving the world.

week class titled “Change the World.” Fol‐

lowing this small group session, in mid‐

October two new classes will begin:

Bezy and Amy (Card) Curbeaux

“Courageous” led by Andrew Nedelsky

and Rob Probus


Notes from Parish Nurse Cheryl Howard, R.N.

“There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens…He has

made everything beautiful in its time.” Ecclesiastes 3:1, 11

thyroid disease‐ find an outlet to decrease anxiety. If you suffer from the following collection of symptoms, talk to your doctor: fatigue/ anxiety, heavier periods/lighter periods, sudden weight gain/weight loss, con‐stant coldness/constant heat, constipation/frequent bowel movements. It is estimated that 13 million Ameri‐cans have a thyroid disorder and don’t know!! The American thyroid Association recommends a TSH test every 5 years beginning in your mid 30’s.

Cheryl Howard, R.N.

We get screenings for blood pressure, blood glucose, bone density, dental health and the list goes on. But don’t neglect your thyroid gland. It is a butterfly shaped gland just below the voice box. It produces hormones that regulate the rate at which your body uses energy and burns calories. When it under or over produces this hormone, you increase your risk for many other health problems. If you have a family history of any autoim‐mune disorder (such as diabetes Type I or rheumatoid arthritis), this puts you at a higher risk. Be sure to get enough iodine‐ this is found in milk, seaweed and io‐dized salt (not in sea salt). Stress can play a role in trig‐gering the autoimmune processes that can contribute to

Kale: the “new” healthy green Kale is quickly becoming a favored green! It is rich in

calcium. It has lutein which is needed for pre‐

vention of eye diseases. It is a high source of

antioxidant flavonoids which help ward off

heart disease and regulate blood pressure. It

is rich in Vitamin A and Vitamin C! For

women, it helps regulate estrogen and women who are

pregnant‐it provides iron and folic acid for proper devel‐

opment of a baby’s nervous system.

Take Time for Yourself A Healthy Tip: Make time for yourself every day! Don’t

think of it as free time when you get everything done‐

set aside time each day to read,

take a bath, work on a hobby or

just do something you enjoy. It

will help you to recharge your bat‐

teries.

Protect Yourself from Stroke UPCOMING CLASSES: Watch the bulletin board near Fel‐

lowship Hall for a variety of classes you

tect Yourself from Stroke by Dr. Harry

Genovely on Wednesday, October 24 at

6:30 pm at St. Francis‐Mooresville. If you

attend the class, you can sign up for a free carotid artery

screening. Call 782‐4422 to register for the class.

Volunteer for Disaster Relief Do you want to help when there is a disaster in our

community? We have signed a contract that we will be

a shelter house in a time of disaster. Now we need vol‐

unteers to take the necessary class so we can efficiently

ready the church in a time of need. Please call Dana at

terest and let us know if you would

like a Saturday class or an evening

class during the week. Thank you!

Blog by Anne Gatts: Waiting for Transformation I recently spent time at the hospital visiting a friend. Can‐cer is a respecter of no one and straddling the precipice between life and death is a difficult place to be. I gave

comfort in places where I could‐ cool towels to flushed faces, warm hugs to grieving hearts, and prayers for strength. When I returned home I wept at the scene I had left. Suffering is hard to bear. It wasn’t long before sorrow soon stirred up memories of the time I had spent at my father’s bedside as he died. He had chosen to forego any more medical treatment and so we waited. The final three days of his life were so precious and yet so

agonizing. But later when my tears had dried I remem‐bered that “Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning, great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” Lamentations 3:22‐24 At times, waiting seems too hard‐ waiting for the pain to stop, waiting for healing, even waiting for death. Yet it is clear to me that waiting is what I am called to do. It is what I do with that time between petition and provision

that allows me to be transformed. Even when I do not see the answer at hand I must lean into the Father’s arms knowing that new mercies are poured out on me morning upon morning. And in the deep well of the LORD’s com‐passion I can draw my strength. A seed does not grow into a flower overnight. When it’s planted into the ground the time before it sprouts re‐mains a mystery. I cannot see the root push‐ing through the soil to gather nutrients. Be‐fore the tender green stem sprouts through the ground I have no knowledge of it. I can only have faith that the soil in which it is planted is rich and warm with life. It is in the time of wait‐ing between planting and sprouting that the seed is trans‐formed. Oh Lord, let me be transformed in the places where I must wait! Let me draw from your fertile soil of love and compassion to be the woman you have called me to be. And when the wait‐ing is hard, remind me Holy Spirit that your steadfast love is never changing and new every morning.

A Note from Finance Committee

The Finance Committee met on Wednesday, August 8, to talk about the budget for 2013. The 2013 budget will be based on our church's projected expenditures for 2012, and each committee will be offered an addi‐tional five percent funding that they can prioritize for use in the manner that they think best helps the con‐gregation connect with God and with others. In addi‐tion, the Finance Committee would like to reserve some funding that any new mission or service could

propose to use ‐‐ a means to support new "Bright Ideas" that the church seeks to develop. Thank you all for the time so many of you contrib‐ute to the committee budgeting process, and thank you all who share your treasures with the church so that we may be the hands and feet of God, doing his works on earth.

The Summer Lunch Program was a great success! Every Wednesday during the summer we had three teams go out and deliver and average of 150 lunches. Thanks go out to all the people who donated food and their time. Thank you for making this ministry possible.

Summer Lunch Program Thanks

Churches in Mission 25th Anniversary Banquet Come and celebrate 25 years of service with the Churches in Mission. This is a very special mission which helps over 400 local families per month with food, utility assistance, and household goods. Several of our church members regularly help at the mission and the UM Men often help by doing special building projects there. We are hoping to support the mission with at least 5 tables of 8 people (40) people attend‐ing.

There will be a catered dinner and auction, beginning at 6:00pm on Saturday, October 6th at Grace Church (doors open at 5:30). Tickets to the event may be pur‐chased for $30 each from Jean Thaler, Ginny Kerr, or Bill Yeager. We will also be selling tickets between

church services on Sunday August 26th and Sunday, September 9th.

Our church will also be collecting items to auction, either to create baskets or to have for a silent auc‐tion. If you have anything to donate, please let one of the Churches in Mission Board Members know (Jean Thaler, Ginny Kerr, Bill Yeager, Michelle Frye). It can be empty baskets, gift certificates, tickets, or anything that would make a pretty basket. We would be very appreciative if some of the church small groups would commit to creating a basket for the auction. Thank you! Your Missions Committee

Meals on Wheels: Needs Drivers

First UMC delivers Meal's on Wheel's to five Moores‐ville shut‐ins on Mondays. You or your family may

have benefitted from this volunteer ser‐vice in the past. It takes about 1.5 hours to pick up the meals at St Francis Hospi‐tal and drop them off at six homes. You can pick up the meals around 11:15AM.

Due to changing interests from our vol‐

unteers, we no longer have anyone to deliver meals on the first or fourth Monday of a month. If someone would be willing to do this, we can provide instruc‐tions. Please let Claire Farrand know 372‐8539 or email Claire at [email protected] by September 7th. If there is no one willing to take this on, we will let the senior center know that our church cannot support

this mission opportunity. Thank you for considering.

Carnival Worker’s Dinner THANK YOU! This ministry marks its 10th year! The workers appreci‐ate and look forward to this dinner every year. Gary Bohlander, owner of Poor Jack Amusements, said that their company splits employees between the State Fair and Old Settlers each year. The workers always ask if they “get” to come to Mooresville! Thank you to eve‐ryone who helped with this important ministry. Those who donated food, gave the workers an amazing feast to enjoy. Volunteers worked tirelessly in the kitchen preparing the food and cleaning up afterwards. Gary and Ruth Bohlander, along with the employees of Poor Jack Amusements are always touched and grateful to see our youth helping with the dinner.

Karen Harmon generously provided chair massages for their tired and achy muscles. Cheryl Howard and Sue Klinger kindly provided blood pressure checks and counseled them regarding any health concerns. Also, distributed at the dinner, were handmade crosses and

hygiene packs compliments of VBS kids who put them together as part of a service project as well as fun Christian T‐Shirts for them to wear and enjoy (we spot‐ted a few wearing shirts given to them last year).

Thank you for making it possi‐ble to provide this ministry every year! If you have a ser‐vice or an idea of something that would be helpful to the workers for next year, please call us! If you’ve never volun‐teered at the Carnival Worker’s Dinner, join us next year, it will touch your heart.

The teen years are a crucial time for identity formation. Students begin to ask the question, "Who am I?" and too often, they let the wrong people an‐swer: musicians, peers, writers, actors, and even their own negative thoughts.

But those of us who have trusted in Jesus already have an identity that nothing can change. We find out who we are when we read God's Word, and in God's Word, we discover that our NEW identity is firmly rooted IN JESUS!

It's time to start believing we are who God says we are.

2 Corinthians 5:17 “ Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”

Change the World All Christians are called to "Follow," "Welcome,"

"Feed," "Heal," "Rescue," and "Go!" Beginning

Sunday, September 9, is a new sermon and Bible

study series based on "Change the World" by

Rev. Mike Slaughter, who is a United Methodist

pastor. This study can help our church move from being

"good" in missions, to becoming "great" in our outreach.

We all wonder at times who we are and why we are here.

While society emphasizes wealth, success and

the pursuit of pleasure, the truth is that we are

created by God in His image and our fulfillment

is found in pursuing His purposes for us. Join

other women this Fall for a 6 week study on Be‐

coming a Woman of Purpose beginning Sunday,

Sept. 9 at 4:30 for a quick walk in the park followed by

the study at 5:00 in Room 110. Study materials provided.

From Pastor Ben: Exciting New Fall Children's Church Curriculum! On Sunday, September 9th we will be kicking off our

brand new children's church curriculum during both our 8:30 and 11:10 services! This exciting new curriculum is called, "Buck Denver asks...What's in the Bible?" The creator of

Veggie Tales, Phil Vischer, designed this curriculum to walk kids through the entire Bible! It will be a fun and interactive way for your kids or grand kids to learn more about the Bible! Make plans to take your kids today!

Enjoy Breakfast and Learn more about Opportunities for Service The First UMC Mission Committee is holding a Mission

Fair on Sunday, September 23rd from 9am to 11am in the Fellowship Hall. We would like to invite the congregation to join us for breakfast and an oppor‐tunity to discover more about the missions supported by the church and opportunities for individual involve‐ment. We have invited mission groups within the church as well as mission organizations supported fi‐nancially by the church to share information as well as

opportunities for involvement in their missions. This is

the perfect time for you to look for new ways to serve God. Please plan to stop by the fellowship hall on September 23rd and explore all the different opportunities for you to get involved and make a difference. If you know of a group that we may have missed please call Pam Taber at 317‐446‐8226 so we can be sure to invite them.
