John we are introduced to a variety of people who had an enthusiastic spirit. One of those persons was the disciple An-drew. While we don’t know much about his life, what we do know can help us to get excited about the Lord.

The first thing we note about this disciple is his faith. When Jesus gave him the invitation to “come and see”, Andrew left the teachings of John the Baptist to follow Jesus. Do you remember when you first took a step in faith with Jesus? It’s no secret that the most effective evange-lists are those who have just begun their faith journey.

May was a busy month for Unit-ed Methodist Women. The Rummage, Bake and Pretzel Sandwich Sale was very suc-

cessful. The turnout of help was most ap-preciated, and once again it proved that when we all work together for a good cause and are blessed by the Lord we can accom-

plish great things.

We were an outreach in the community by providing affordable clothing and

housewares.

UMW sponsored an all church "Mother & Daughter Banquet" on May 9 at the Leba-non Lutheran social building on Rippling Run Road. This venue was chosen in order

Churches do a won-derful job caring for grieving people in the immediate days fol-lowing the death of a

loved one; meals, cards, flowers are sent. The pastor is directly involved with those who have lost loved ones before and after the funeral. But grievers need more and that’s why we offer 13 weeks of support

UNDERSTANDING YOUR SHARES OF MINISTRY

Volume 3, Issue 6 Page 3

Shares of Ministry pay our combined cost of being in ministry in central and northeastern Pennsylvania. How are Shares of Ministry calculated? In June of each year, pastors and lay members from each of our congrega-tions gather for Annual Conference. Together they decide on which minis-tries will continue to be our priorities, and in so doing, set the conference budget for the coming year. A formula is then applied and each church is as-sessed its share of the total amount. That amount is its Shares of Ministry. About 80 cents of each offering dollar your church receives stays in your local church for its immediate mission and

What Are Shares? As United Methodists, we believe the church is bigger than any one congre-gation. In the Susquehanna Conference we are over 900 congregations sharing a mission and a ministry to our commu-nities and to the world. By sharing our resources, amazing min-istries can touch the lives of people down the street or half way around the world. It’s simple mathematics … when your church fulfills its covenant to pay its Shares of Ministry, you are fulfilling Christ’s command to go into all the world to make disciples for him and transform the world in Christ’s name.

ministry. About 20 cents of each offering dollar is sent to the conference treasurer to be used as Shares of Ministry, providing support for the cost of being a connect-ed church, support of current and re-tired pastors, and for local and confer-ence shared ministries. They also help in providing tools and training for effec-tive local church ministry. Of those 20 cents, 5 cents covers our conference share of the larger general church operating expenses and world-wide mission. (This article is taken from 2016 Shares of Ministry for the Susquehanna Confer-ence)

for the Mission Tent. We are going to do the Back to School Bags for Mission Cen-tral again. We discussed how to correlate missions within the church that the whole church can be involved and help the com-munity understand how many missions are reached through the passion of Winter-stown UMC. Evangelism – We discussed the possibility of concerts here in the future. We want to set this as a new goal. Examples are:
