This statement captures the essence of the life of RevCooper, Jr., our Buddy, and certainly his ministry while faithfully UMC for these past 14 years.

Please join us this Sunday at our
Farewell Celebration of the ministry of
The Rev. Dr. Edwin M. Cooper, Jr.
Selflessly Dedicated to Someone Elses Success
The above statement of purpose was coined at the 2011 National Teacher of the Year Conference to describe the role of teachers in the lives of their students. It was conveyed in an inspirational talk delivered to those attending a CSU breakfast celebrating this years National Teacher of the Year, Michelle Shearer, who spoke to the gathered audience.
This statement captures the essence of the life of Rev. Dr. Edwin M. Cooper, Jr., our Buddy, and certainly his ministry while faithfully serving St. Paul UMC for these past 14 years. Since the announcement about Buddys new role as the Columbus District Superintendent for the South Georgia Conference beginning in June, I had countless members share with me how Buddy has ministered to them through his excellent sermons, his bedside manner during times of illness, injury and grief, his mentoring role through marriages, baptisms, the raising of our children via the childrens sermons, the acolyte program, confirmation, and support of our youth, hours upon hours of Bible study, as well as being our tour guide par excellence for trips abroad. He has also delivered life lessons to several of the golfers in St. Paul out on the greens.
For me, out of the many life-shaping moments garnered from Buddy, the one that is forever etched in memory is the impromptu church service held right after the September 11 events. Buddy set aside his own concerns and fears to lead St. Paul and my family back to our God who never leaves us in spite of worldly circumstances. Time after time, Buddy has demonstrated his faith, and it is through that faith that he has helped build the solid rock upon which our church stands. Through his selfless witness, he has shown us the life of Jesus Christ, the ONE who was, is, and will be Selflessly Dedicated to Everyone Elses Success! Thank you, Buddy.

Flute-Jeanne Martz Organ-Wayne Martz
*The Hymn of Celebration: And Are We Yet AliveNo. 553
*The Minister: Let Us Unite in the Historic Confession of the Christian Church
I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord: who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; the third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
*The Gloria Patri
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen, Amen.
The Call to Prayer
Take this moment to prepare to speak to the One who is more focused upon our hearts than upon our words. One who is more committed to us and our souls well being than we are to our bodys comforts and pleasures. One who has shown us by the passion of our Lord Jesus Christ the seriousness with which He makes our appointment. The only One who loves us just because His love is greater than our sin. Free yourself in these moments from your fear-filled secrets by prayerfully confessing them in the presence of our Heavenly Father.
The Pastoral PrayerRev. John Fugh, Jr.
The Lords Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.
