Who Are the Saints? by Rev. Dr. Bob Howell

The Communion of the SaintsI was born into the Methodist Church. My father was a Methodist minister. I grew up going to church, but I had never heard of All Saints Day until well after the merger of the Methodist Church and the Evangelical United Brethren Church to form the United Methodist Church. As we began to deepen our roots in the ancient Christian tradition, we began to observe some of our most hallowed traditions. All Saints Day is one of those traditions that has enriched our corporate life.

Easter, Christmas, Pentecost have been observed by Methodists for 200 years, but when did we discover and reclaim All Saints’?

What is All Saints Day?All Saints Day is a Christian celebration that honors and remembers all the saints from Christian history. The Christian festival of All Saints Day comes from a conviction that there is a spiritual connection between those in Heaven and on Earth. In Methodist tradition, All Saints Day relates to giving God praise and thanksgiving for the lives of his saints, remembering those who were well-known and not. My life has been shaped by saints who have shaped my faith, taught me by their example and cared for me in my formative years and beyond.

In addition, All Saints’ Day annually reminds us of our connectedness as Christians. Who is a saint? You are! The Bible calls a “saint“ anyone who trusts in Christ alone for salvation and lives for God’s glory. See Acts 9:13, 26:10, Romans 8:27, and 1Corinthians 1:2.

Through the channel of faith we become united with Christ and we are saved. In other words, we are granted sainthood! Skeptical? Think about this: if God calls the worldly, sinning believers in Corinth “saints“—and He does in 1Corinthians 1:2—couldn‘t He call you a saint as well? Anyone who trusts in Christ alone for salvation is a saint in God‘s sight.

Meaning and Origin of All Saints DayIn the early years when the Roman Empire persecuted Christians, so many martyrs died for their faith that the Church set aside special days to remember them. For example, in 607 Emperor Phocas presented to the pope the beautiful Roman Pantheon temple. The pope removed the statues of Jupiter and the pagan gods and consecrated the Pantheon to „all saints“ who had died from Roman persecution in the first three hundred years after Christ.

So, how should we think of All Saints Day? The 1662 Book of Common Prayer says that the holy day stands for “the unity of Christians of all ages, countries, and races in Christ, and the perfection of that unity in heaven.“ It dates the holiday back to about A.D. 610 when the Pantheon in Rome, turned into a Christian Church, was dedicated to all saints. Sounds like the prayer book had the right idea.

We think of our connectedness to past saints and find inspiration in their stories of God‘s faithfulness. Hebrews 11 gives many examples of the great cloud of witnesses whose lives tell of God‘s unfailing love and grace. These saints speak from the past and are whispering at this moment. But other saints live among us in the flesh and live lives that remind us of God’s love and faithfulness. In their lives we have witnessed God’s grace and strength and drawn power for living from their examples.

We are not in this life alone. God is with us and God’s saints on earth and in heaven surround us.

How about you? Do you tend to view yourself as an isolated Christian? All Saints’ Day is a reminder that we belong to the Communion of the saints. It is from this community that we draw strength, hope, consolation and companions for the journey.


Thomas Few was majoring in Construction Science at Clemson University at the time of his death on June 30, 2019. He was known to all as someone who was always smiling and also as someone who always had a handyman project going on.

When Thomas died, the Few family asked that memorials be given to Emmanuel’s Hammer. Emmanuel’s Hammer provides affordable housing solutions in Greenville. K.C. Carter, Executive Director at Emmanuel’s Hammer, was already in discussions with another local nonprofit, the Frazee Center, about a specific project at the time of Thomas’s death. Both nonprofits are longtime Missions and Outreach partners of BSUMC. In fact, Buncombe Street had already donated $10,000 towards the Frazee project in question, known then as the “H2O House.” H2O Stands for Heath, Hygiene, and Opportunity.

While the Frazee Center provides services to at risk families including daycare and after school activities, Jenny and Matt Reeves, Directors, recognize that many of the families still lack access to basic hygiene essentials. Most notably, people need the opportunity to wash their clothes and take showers. A renovated building at the Center’s new site would meet this need. At the time of Thomas’s death, K.C. was considering involving Emmanuel’s Hammer. He approached the Few family about using memorial funds at Frazee for the H2O House.

The Fews embraced the idea. It seemed like everything was coming together to make a positive impact with the memorial gifts in a way that truly honors Thomas. Not only would the funds go to an interesting

construction project, it would be helping at risk families, something that would have pleased Thomas very much. When Thomas’s Kappa Alpha fraternity brothers at Clemson learned about the H2O House, they decided to organize workdays in Thomas’s honor. Current KA chapter president, Harris Krogh, even reached out to other fraternities, because Thomas had friends all over campus. Other organizations com-mitted their time to the project as well.

On the warm afternoon of August 15, everyone met face to face for the first time in the Frazee Center at 2115 Anderson Road in Greenville. Kimberly and Wes Few, their close friends Mary Catherine and Scott Davis, Harris Krogh, K.C. Carter, as well as Jenny and Matt Reeves shook hands and stood in a circle. The Holy Spirit filled the space as the group joined hands in prayer. Plans were set to work together to build the “Thomas Few H2O House.”

Emmanuel’s Hammer will begin construction on the house this month and plans to finish before Christmas this year. All those who volunteer their time and skills will be honoring Thomas and making a tangible contribution to our community. Kimberly and Wes Few on site at the Thomas Few H2O House

Camper to Counselor Interview conducted by Elizabeth Loughran

Elizabeth: What kind of life lessons, & spiritual growth has the role of counselor given you?

Parker: I feel like it’s shown me how to be a leader through Christ. It’s taught me how to be with kids & how to set boundaries. And the Spiritual Growth part, the whole time I can feel Jesus with us, but that last night always the last night of Camp Moseley, the communion outside sets the tone to re-ally experience Jesus.

Mac: For me, it’s just--look for God everywhere. If there is anything camp has taught me, it’s that you can see God anywhere you want or need to see him.

Charlotte D: That it’s the little things, like asking campers questions over meals, that matter so much. You can really make kids happy just by asking them about their day.

Charlotte W: Well, for one, being the counselor has made me realize just how ex-hausted the campers are, which makes us learn a lot about responsibility. Being a counselor also makes you realize how much you can impact kids.

Charlotte D: Yes, your positive attitude can change their negative attitude. Or it can go the other way if you’re not careful.Elizabeth: Any meaningful camp stories to share?

Charlotte D: I had a camper two years ago who would never want to do the activities, and she was terrified of the Wet Willie water slide. I encouraged her over & over, and at the end of the week, she bravely tried it. Then, she went again and again and again. It was so great to see her proud of herself.

Parker: When I was camper, & we went on the Camp Moseley overnight campout, I got homesick that night. All the campers & counselors really encouraged me. I really didn’t get homesick again that week. Just seeing how much they were willing to help me & look out for me gave me skills to deal with homesickness for my own campers.

Mac: The most meaningful part of Camp Moseley is when we put lit candles on the cross & send it out across the lake. After we put our candles in, I always get my campers in a huddle for prayer. We go around and ask if they want to add anything or pray for anyone. That’s when the kids really open up and share. It’s really cool to be a part of it.

Elizabeth: What is it that makes you want to be a counselor over & over?

Charlotte W: The kids are one of the reasons I really like to be a counselor, because they really make me laugh and want to help them.

Parker: Yes. Helping out the kids & also being able to spend time with the other counselors. The relationships with the kids you can take further than just camp because you’ll see them again. It’s like being a mentor. I even babysat some of the kids afterwards. You get to stay in each other’s lives.

Mac: Yeah, for me, I love the kids, and the experience that you get to have. It’s just really cool to see how they grow.

Charlotte D: Exactly, the same kids come back, so you get to see them grow, & you get to have relationships. We probably get more out of it than the kids.

Elizabeth: Thank you all for coming. I know Embrace readers will be touched by what you’ve shared.

The mission of Women’s Ministry is to enable women of all ages to share in the abundant life with Jesus Christ. We provide opportunities for enhancing spiritual life through service, missions, prayer, Bible Study, education and fellowship. Through these experiences, our hope is that ALL the women of Buncombe Street will minister to each other, their families and serve God in their daily lives.

We are so excited about the upcoming year and have several events planned where we hope every woman can find a place to feel included and loved! One of our most anticipated events is the annual Women’s Retreat that is held in late February at Lake Junaluska. This past Women’s Retreat was the biggest ever; we had 165 ladies of all ages and backgrounds, from different churches and different cities. It was such a wonderful weekend where God’s love was in abundance and so many ladies reached out to let us know what it meant to them.

Some responses we received: “I felt so welcomed by everyone! I attend a different church in a different state and this weekend was wonderful – I have grown so much!”

“This was my first retreat and I loved everything about it. Thankful for an amazing church that provides the opportunity to learn more about Jesus and grow our faith and strong Christian relationships.”

This year we are anticipating another amazing Christ filled weekend as Ruth McWhite shares with us how to “Live Life Anchored” on Feb 21-23, 2020. Registration opens October 6!

Tanya Clark is a longtime active Buncombe Street member who attends The Table service at 8:45 where she especially enjoys the music and greeting her friends. Brandee Sponseller, Tanya’s sister, notes that “Tanya bring so much joy to everyone at BSUMC.”

Tanya faithfully participates in the Entertaining Angels Sunday School Class at the down-town campus. Anne Stolarski, one of Tanya’s Sunday School teachers, says “She loves the Lord, our church, her family, and CLEMSON! Tanya’s ministry is reaching out to others with gifts she has made. Those who know her look forward to her gifts of letters, pictures, and homemade potholders. Her devotion to others and happy outlook on life is a genuine testament to her faith.” Margaret Clayton, another Sunday School teacher, enjoys surprising Tanya with handwritten letters. Some of Tanya’s favorite songs in Sunday School are This Little Light of Mine, Deep and Wide, and He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands. She enjoys drawing, coloring, and using stickers to make colorful pictures. Her favorite colors are orange, purple, and brown.

Dianne Grubbs, Tanya’s mom, says that Sundays are a major highlight in Tanya’s week, and the family is so grateful to BSUMC, for the love and support from so many members and for providing the Entertaining Angels opportunity. Janet Williams, one of the teachers from the very beginning, has been the glue to hold it together for many years. She, along with Margaret & Lanny Clayton, Chris & Anne Stolarski and Brandee Sponseller are truly the real angels who show up each week to entertain Tanya, or rather be entertained by Tanya!

Tanya loves attending camps such as Camp Hope and Camp Spearhead where she enjoys swimming, dancing, and crafts. She wins medals for events such as the long jump with Special Olympics every spring.

Meet John Wesley by Dr. A.V. Huff Whether you are a life-long United Methodist, a recent member, or a regular visitor, you have likely heard the name of John Wesley. Maybe you have wondered who this person was and what was his connection with the United Methodist Church

John Wesley lived in Britain in the eighteenth century and was the founder of what became the worldwide Methodist movement. Today the movement includes hundreds of denominations, such the Salvation Army and the Nazarene Church as well as those that have Methodist in their name. His teachings and his organization of what he termed “the people called Methodist” are the bedrock of Methodist churches today all over the world.

Wesley was born in 1703 in Epworth, where his father Samuel was a rector. Samuel was a graduate of Oxford University and spent much of his time studying and writing. John’s mother, Susanna, was educated at home by her father in an era when women could not attend school. John was one of eighteen children, and they were taught in their early years by their mother at home.

Like his brothers, John was eventually sent off to boarding school. He went to Charterhouse School in London and then to Oxford. There he was ordained to ministry in the Church of England, as was his brother Charles—who became one of the greatest hymn writers in the Christian church.

At Oxford Charles gathered a group of students for worship, Bible study, and visiting prisoners. John, who was a fellow (a faculty member) of Lincoln College, Oxford, became the leader of the group. Because of their strict rules, the group was known as the Holy Club or the Methodists.

In 1735 John and Charles sailed for the colony of Georgia where John spent two years as a missionary and Charles as secretary to Governor Oglethorpe. In Georgia, John translated and composed hymns that were published in Charleston. It was the first in a long line of Methodist hymn books.

Both Wesleys returned to Britain, and in 1738 they had deeply personal religious experiences which shaped the rest of their lives. Of his experience, John recorded the following in his diary: “On Wednesday, May 24 in the evening, I went very unwillingly to a society in Aldersgate Street, (a Moravian meeting) where one was reading Luther’s preface to the Epistle to Romans. About a quarter to nine, while he was describing the change which God works in the heart through faith in Christ, I felt my heart Strangely Warmed. I felt I did trust in Christ, Christ alone, for salvation; and felt an assurance was given me, that He had taken away my sins, even mine, and saved me from the law of sin and death.”

Soon after, a fellow Holy Club member asked John to preach to people outside the church in the city of Brisol. John was very skeptical of field preaching, but hundreds of people gathered regularly. Soon he formed serious followers into classes and societies, and published the General Rules as a guide for Christian discipleship. They are still a part of the Book of Discipline (“Do no harm; do good of every kind; attend all the ordinances of God”).

Soon John Wesley traveled throughout England, Scotland, and Ireland, preaching and organizing Methodist societies. He chose class leaders to meet in his absence, and eventually (at Susanna’s suggestion) appointed lay preachers to conduct services of worship. Once a year he held a yearly or annual conference of his preachers or assistants, as he called them.

When the bishop of Bristol called John to task for preaching without permission, John replied, “I look upon the whole world as my parish.” Soon John purchased land and built chapels for the Methodists, keeping the titles in his own name. Eventually he appointed preachers to the Caribbean, to the American colonies, and to India.

By the time John Wesley died in 1791, Methodism was on its way to becoming a worldwide movement.


Our church member, Travis Fortson, has a story to tell about three generations of his family donating blood to save lives. Travis Fortson’s story began when he was a student at The Citadel. He donated blood to help others, and he donated often. He never ex-pected that blood would save his own life. On July 9, 2007, Travis witnessed a car accident on I-85 near Gaffney. He pulled over to offer assistance. Shortly thereafter, an out-of-control 18-wheeler hit Travis as he dove into a ditch. During the five surgeries in the first three days following the accident, Travis re-ceived platelets and fourteen units of blood. Doctors were unable to save his leg, but were able to save his life. Travis later stated: “The blood trans-fusions saved my life. The blood was there for me. I am lucky to be alive.” Today, Travis is a faithful blood donor through Buncombe Street and The Blood Connection. He still donates blood to save others! He was very proud when his oldest daughter, Belle, asked if she could start donating blood as soon as she was eligible! One afternoon in early July, Belle and Travis were donat-ing blood at The Blood Connection, when in walked Travis’s Mom, Jeanne Whilden, to donate too! WOW!! Three generations of one Buncombe Street family - all donating blood at the same time. Travis and his family know first-hand that blood donations save lives!

Buncombe Street will be hosting blood drives on Sunday, October 6th. Bloodmobiles will be at the Downtown Campus from 8AM to 1PM and at the Trin-ity Campus from 9AM to 1 PM. Travis Fortson and his family invite everyone to join them on October 6th. Please pre-register by contacting either church office or online at thebloodconnection.org. We hope to see you on October 6th!

Note: 16 year olds may donate with parental permission.

Most people feel uncomfortable the first time they speak with someone who has an obvious physical or mental disability, and many are reluctant to do so. Theories explaining this re-sponse range from being afraid of saying the wrong thing to confronting our own mortality and vulnerability. Whatever the reason, I was not prepared for this reaction from people after I lost my eyesight in 1997.

My blindness was the result of a stroke following open-heart surgery. After a lengthy hospitalization and recovery at home, I looked forward to returning to church for the first time. How-ever, the experience was not the happy one I had anticipated.

I missed being able to see familiar faces and the smiles of recognition as people passed. I didn’t know if their greetings of “Good morning” were meant for me or someone else. Few people spoke to me directly. I felt conspicuous standing in the lobby with my white cane; yet at the same time, I felt invisible to the shadowy figures that passed silently by. I told myself, “This is going to be harder than I thought!”

As my friend guided me to his car following the service, I was stopped by a small voice. “Hi Mr. Ninestein. I’m Clay Turner.”

I didn’t know four-year-old Clay and was pleased and sur-prised that he would speak to me.

In the weeks that followed, Clay sought me out each Sunday to say hello. Knowing he would be there looking for me gave me the courage to attend church as I adjusted to my blindness.

Clay still makes a point of speaking to me. He is twelve now and will join the church next month. Others have gradually become less reluctant to approach me and have learned to tell me who they are when speaking. I even get my share of hugs! I feel embraced by the people of Buncombe Street and by God’s love.

“Hi,” is a small word, but it can have a powerful effect on those who are lonely or hurting in our congregation and on visitors who are uneasy about being in an unfamiliar church. I think we can all learn a lot from my friend, Clay.

Editor’s Note: Clay Turner is the son of Julie and Ross Turner. He is now in his third year of law school and is engaged to be married early next year. Trent Ninestein is an active member of the Seekers Sunday School Class and still enjoys collecting hugs on Sunday mornings.

Life Giving by Jenna Robinson As I See It by Trent NinesteinThis article first appeared in the April 2006 Embrace


BSUMC member Tom Bates is no stranger to the trials and pain that cancer brings. He lost his mother to cancer when he was 10 years-old, then his beloved daughter, Lindsey Bates Motley, to colon cancer at the age of 29. Lindsey was diagnosed when she was pregnant with her first child. During the second year of Lindsey’s battle, Tom heard about and visited the Cancer Survivors Park in Greenville. With Lindsey’s permission, her family and friends raised $250K to name the highest overlook in the park “The Lindsey Bates Motley Leap of Faith” to be a place for remembrance, celebration and hope for all of Lindsey’s survivors. Lindsey’s Leap is a statement and testimony of her beautiful life. Tom’s heart yearned for a place that Lindsey’s daughter, Lilla, could visit in the years to come to remember her mother. “10 out of 10 of people are a cancer survivor. Somewhere in life, everyone has been touched by a family member, friend, or neighbor that has had cancer. The park has been God’s gift to me and my family for hope, healing, faith, and educating others,” said Bates.

Lindsey’s funeral was held in February 2016 at BSUMC and was at-tended by 1,400 people. She now resides with her Lord and Savior in Heaven, but her ashes reside at our church’s columbarium. Tom invites our church family to visit her there and also to remember her at the Cancer Survivors Park. Lindsey kept a very moving and detailed Caring Bridge journal of her fight against colon cancer. Local author Stephanie Morgan compiled a book titled Sunshine for the Soul including Lindsey’s thoughts on faith, hope and life that is available to purchase at the park.

Located on the Swamp Rabbit Trail between Cleveland Park and Falls Park, The Cancer Survivors Park is passed by over 500,000 people who travel the trail annually. The Center for Hope and Healing attached to the park serves as another place for reflection and healing. Tom, his wife Ashley and daughter Bladen encourage our congregation to first and foremost, visit the park. The Bates are advocates for the park’s fundraising and encourage volunteers to be involved with the park.

Visit www.cancersurvivorspark.org for more information on how you can contribute to the wonderful place that brings peace to so many. BSUMC has so many members that are the hands of Christ in our community and our world. What a blessing it is to see our church answering the call.
