Salem Cass News

2016 Dear Salem Cass Family, Wow, I am so proud of our church family! Last month’s Summer Fest (car show, BBQ…) was a God-sized event that could not have happened without big prayer and your servant-teamwork. The planning was bathed in prayer – earnestly seeking God and desiring His glory through an event that could attract more folks of all ages. Our teams put forth great effort and hours to: 1) set up tents, chairs, tables, roasters, sound equipment, snow cone machines, parking areas, dessert stations, auction items…; 2) staff the event areas – dinner, kids zone, car show, parking, auction, ministry pavilion, cooking pit…; and 3) clean it all up. (I’m sure I left out many categories and people to thank!) The point? With faith in a big God, Salem Cass is not afraid to dream big and work hard! And to God, be the glory! Now, with the “spiritual high” of the Summer Fest concluded, it might be tempting to feel overwhelmed by election advertisements, frightening news about foreign nations, and headlines about a declining economy. But we don’t have to despair! There is a solution! No, it’s not a new government plan or even the next president. The Lord tells us that the answer does not come from this world, but from Him. And so again, we need to pray big. Pray big that the Lord will work His will in this world and in our nation. We need to pray big that our next president, whoever it may be, will seek the Lord and rely on God’s wisdom and strength. We need to pray big this same prayer for our neighbors, co-workers, school-mates, families, and even ourselves. God delights in those who long after Him. “For the eyes of the Lord roam to and fro throughout the earth, to strengthen those who seek Him” (2 Chron.16:9). Continue to pray big!

Answering God’s Call During a 2010 trip to report on famine-relief efforts in Kenya, Kristen Welch observed conditions unfit for living. “How can you allow so much suffering?” she asked God. In return, he asked her the same question. That prompted Welch to put her faith into action by launching Mercy House, a nonprofit organization that rescues pregnant young women and their babies. The impact of Mercy House in Kenya — plus now in 19 other countries — is “miraculous proof that God is made perfect in our weakness,” Welch says. “Who would have thought a ‘yes’ in 2010 would make us the poster children that [prove] God can do anything with anyone?”

My Purpose God has created me to do him some

definite service …

I have my mission … he has not created me

for naught.

I shall do good; I shall do his work …

I will trust him, whatever I am,

I can never be thrown away.

If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve him,

in perplexity, my perplexity may serve him.

If I am in sorrow, my sorrow may serve him.

He does nothing in vain …

He knows what he is about.

—John Henry Newman

God blessed us with good weather, great food, and wonderful entertainment. The new shelter house served as the venue for the music and message, providing a nice shady spot to listen and plenty of seating. The first annual car show had 16 cars registered. It was reported that a car show participant bought one pork dinner, and enjoyed it so much that he came back in and bought another one! Thank you to EVERYONE who worked to make it a successful and special day!

West Virginia Flood Recovery Now Accepting Volunteers

The West Virginia Conference of the United Methodist Church has begun accepting individual and Volunteer in Mission teams to help with disaster response after the recent floods. All individuals and teams are asked to fill out (a) form and submit to Sandy Binotto, Volunteer in Mission Coordinator for the West Virginia Conference. The Conference disaster coordinators will then match volunteers with a place to serve. Volunteer housing is still being established, so teams may be asked to secure their own housing. Please be patient as the West Virginia Conference staff continues to organize recovery efforts. For more information, contact Sandy Binotto (at) 304-839-1505.

What’s Coming Up?

What’s Up? Ever wonder what God is doing in your life, or what — if anything — he’s accomplishing through you? You aren’t alone! Many people in the Bible surely felt the same way, from Joseph as a prisoner in Egypt to Mary as a young, unwed expectant mother. Answers may come in time … or may need to wait until we get to heaven. Meanwhile, like missionary Elisabeth Elliot, we can take comfort in this truth: “God is God. Because he is God, he is worthy of my trust and obedience.” Elliot proclaimed, “I will find rest nowhere but in his holy will that is unspeakably beyond my largest notions of what he is up to.”

Dear Salem Cass Church Family,

Thank you so much for your thoughts, prayers, and cards during

my sister, Jeanine’s, illness and passing. We are so blessed to

have such a loving church family.

LaDonna & Norman Jolliff

Dear Pastor Ray:

I hope this finds you and your lovely family well, and I ask that

you share this letter with the congregation at Salem Cass in some

way: As I prepare for my "golden years" of retirement, I wanted to

be sure to thank the Salem Cass United Methodist Church for

giving me a temporary church home. I will be serving as a lay

pastor in two small churches in the hills of southeast Ohio, where I

am moving to bask in God's more mountainous Creation. I wish I

could take your wonderful musicians with me - special thanks to

Karen Doxsey and Marge Stacy. I wish I could bottle the

genuineness of your welcoming and mission-oriented spirit, and

serve it to all who enter our churches. I thank Pastor Ray for his

thoughtful messages, for which I am sure there is no copyright

protection - I will use the ideas with care.

I knew at my first visit at Salem Cass that this was a place of

hospitality. We never know whose lives will be enriched by our

Christian witness. Thanks for enriching mine.

In Christ’s service, Karen Elliott

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Congratulations to Karen Elliott, retiring Hancock County

Common Pleas Court magistrate, and best of luck serving as lay

pastor! Karen’s participation in the bell choir – and occasionally

serving as director - was a wonderful contribution to worship.

Congratulations to Laurie Collert, retiring Findlay High School’s

Family and Consumer Sciences teacher. Laurie’s donations to the

Needles for God group, the school bag projects, and the layettes

were very much appreciated, as well as her faithful participation

in the bell choir.

We thank them for their service to Salem and wish them both well!

You will be missed!

Cave Quest Vacation Bible School FOLLOWING JESUS The Light of the World was the theme at VBS this year. About 40 children gathered at the Van Buren UMC for songs, stories, snacks, crafts, and FUN! Thank you to all who provided paper products and items for the tasty treats, prepared and served by Jennifer, Christy, Toni, and Barbara. Thanks to Mary Beth and Miranda and for leading games and helping with crafts, to Robin for leading crafts, to Jacob Deiter for being a crew leader, and to Pastor Kelly and Pastor Ray for telling the Bible stories each night. The mission project raised money for the Feed-A-Child program. This program will provide weekend meals for kids at Van Buren School who might otherwise go hungry over the weekend while they are not in school. Meals are provided with food that the child can easily prepare for 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches and 2 dinners. VBS raised $487.58! That is enough for 137 weekend bags!

The Greatest Example How often we quote Leviticus 19:18: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” It’s not a bad standard to reach for; even Jesus repeated it (see Matthew 22:39 and elsewhere). But in John 13:34, as Bible scholar Dr. Harry Wendt points out, Jesus changes the wording slightly but crucially: “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another” (ESV). Perhaps during his time on earth, Jesus realized humans don’t actually love ourselves very much or very well. So using self-love as the bar by which to measure neighbor-love might be ineffective. Although we may act self-enamored and self-impressed, it’s often just a cover for inner feelings of self-loathing and self-doubt. After washing his disciples’ feet and before sacrificing his very life for them (and us), Jesus changes the wording — and the example that will lead us: “Love one another not as you love you, but as I love you.” Unconditionally. Unreservedly. Wholeheartedly. Unto death. And into life everlasting.

A Thankful Boy

The sun was just beginning to set when I started on my daily walk. I had not gone more than 75 yards when a plastic whiffle ball sailed through the air and landed at my feet.

I heard the chatter of small boys playing on the other side of a wall. “You knocked the ball out into the street,” said one voice. “We’ll have to go get it.” I quickly picked up the ball and hurled it in their direction, and then heard, “Hey, look! There’s the ball. Someone threw it back.”

I then recognized the voice of a five-year-old neighbor who, unable to see me, asked, “Who threw the ball back?”

I decided to tease him a bit and answered in a kind, but authoritative voice, “God!”

There was dead silence for at least 10 seconds, while I chuckled to myself. Then the child asked with a curious voice, “Who did you say threw the ball over the wall?”

“God!” I answered with as much authority as I could muster.

In an accepting and trusting voice, the boy replied, “Thank you! Thank you very much!”

I smiled and remembered the words of our Lord, “Whoever becomes humble like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 18:4, NRSV).

—Charles Ferrell

A Small Laugh “God warned a man named Lot to take his wife and flee out of the city,” said the Sunday school teacher, “but Lot’s wife looked back and was turned to salt.” A curious boy then asked, “What happened to the flea?”

The Color of Jesus One day my 4-year-old son, Duncan, made this enlightening announcement: "Sometimes people don't know what color Jesus is. I know he's gray. He's the same color as God. I always pray, 'God is gray, God is good.'"

Munich Church becomes Sanctuary during

Shooting

By Volker Kiemle July 26, 2016 | MUNICH (UMNS)

During the shooting rampage in Munich that left nine dead, visitors to the nearby United Methodist Church of the Redeemer (Erlöserkirche) experienced both fear and divine peace.

When the shots in the Olympia Shopping Mall were fired, a group of Wesley Scouts was meeting in the garden of the nearby Church of the Redeemer.

“One could have thought it was firecrackers, like on New Year’s Eve, but it was just a few seconds later that people were frantically running down the street,” said church member Alexander Badstübner. “They fought through the bushes and climbed with their dogs and bikes into neighboring properties.”

It became clear quickly that it was gunshots, not fireworks. The volunteer leaders of the Wesley Scouts reacted immediately by bringing the children into the building and gathering them all into the sanctuary. Some people who had been shopping at the targeted mall also found refuge in the sanctuary.

The blinds were lowered, although police sirens could already be heard outside. “Fear spread amongst both the children and the adults,” said Badstübner.

The youth leader invited everyone in the sanctuary to pray. Drinks that were already prepared for the youth worship service were offered to all. The worship leader of the youth band picked up his guitar. Young and old gradually began to join their voices together in song. Music and singing helped to bring peace to the group.

“Anguished sobs were transformed into singing for the glory of God,” Badstübner said. “Peace spread throughout the sanctuary, making it a sacred place within the building.”

Then a church representative, per a recommendation from the police, communicated to the group that they should move to the basement and stay away from windows. All rushed to the basement and took refuge in rooms that were not visible from the outside. Then, the kitchen team brought plates and food, offering a rich buffet.

“God set the table for us and provided us a full meal. His spirit empowered the church volunteers and leaders to sing encouraging songs that helped dispel the children’s fear,” Badstübner said.

After a while, all was presumed to be safe and clear. The people were allowed to leave the basement to go back into the

sanctuary and to other spaces in the church, but were advised not to leave the church yet. Public transport in Munich had been completely halted; taxis were not even allowed to drive during this time. The area around the mall had been secured and sealed off.

Next, a police car drove alongside the church and from it came a member of the crisis intervention team to ask if the church could be used as a refuge point for those who had been evacuated from the shopping center. They had been using a fast-food restaurant a few streets over from the church, but it was becoming overcrowded. One-hundred-fifty people were to be brought to the church and cared for there.

“We willingly agreed, because God had already provided for us and prepared us for such a circumstance,” said Badstübner.

Immediately, the sanctuary was transformed to provide incoming people with food and drinks that had already been stored for an upcoming scouts’ camping trip. Soup was cooked, cakes were sliced and fruit was set out for all. The children were put to bed after an opportunity to call their parents. It had become clear that it would only be possible for them to be picked up in the morning.

Munich deployed 2,300 police officers to lock down the city Friday night.

Because the church had not been officially deemed as a secured zone, instead of the people who had been at the shopping center, police officers and paramedics came to rest and regain their strength. Gradually the situation calmed down and some guests, church volunteers and church leaders were able to head home, while others remained overnight in the sports hall and tried to get some sleep.

“We have experienced God in this strong team, which has been empowered by the strength of God and, by the connection to God, did not become tired, so that they could do what was necessary,” Badstübner said. “With gratitude and amazement, we see God's intention to provide for us in abundance and to put light in a world that is frozen in fear and bewilderment.”

The morning after the rampage, the church volunteer for Community Help had provided a flower arrangement for mourning and a book in which the troubled people could write down their fears and desires. The book was laid below the cross in front of the church where the community on Saturday had celebrated the Experience of Salvation on the Cross.

“Tomorrow in worship at 10 a.m., we will revisit these themes,” wrote pastor Friedemann Burkhardt on the church’s Facebook page before the service on July 24. The service was already planned to include a baptism and a new membership vows and ritual ceremony, and the service’s guiding passage was to be from John 16:33: “In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

Two Kinds of Churches: Live Ones and Dead Ones The anonymous wit who wrote the following words was no doubt a bit excessive, but many may think he has made some astute observations. He wrote:

A live church has parking problems; a dead church has lots of empty spaces. A live church will have changing programs and ministries for service.

A dead church says, "We've always done it that way." A live church has lots of noisy children and youth; a dead church is very quiet. A live church's expenses often exceed income;

a dead church has enough money to maintain its existence ... but barely. A live church supports missions enthusiastically; a dead church keeps its money at home. A live church moves out in faith and takes risks; a dead church lives totally by sight. A live church welcomes new people into leadership; a dead church is cold to new people. A live church is filled with tithers; a dead church is filled with tippers.

The 'Art' of Forgiveness An interesting legend is associated with the painting “The Last Supper.” Some say Leonardo da Vinci used a rival’s face for Judas. Then when the painter tried to create Jesus’ face, all he could see was that of his enemy. Supposedly, da Vinci was able to complete Jesus’ face — and the entire masterpiece — only after making peace with his enemy and repainting Judas. This tale shows the necessity of forgiving other people so we can accept Jesus’ forgiveness for ourselves. As Jesus says in Matthew 6:14-15 (NIV), “For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.” —adapted from Hot Illustrations for Youth Talks by Wayne Rice

Everybody is Somebody June 22, 2016

Missouri Conference Director of Congregational Excellence Bob Farr started his sermon on Sunday morning with a story about being a church visitor. He was there unannounced, and tried to remain anonymous. At first it was easy, as it was a “self-service” church. “You know the type, no one greets you at the door, you have to find and pick up your own bulletin,” Farr said. “The thing about self-service churches is they do have reserved seating, so I tried to choose my seat carefully.” A woman on the pew in front of him eyed him carefully, and then leaned over and said, “You’re somebody.” He said he was just in the area and had stopped by to visit. Later when the pastor mentioned there was a special visitor there from the Conference staff, she said, “See, I know you were somebody!” “I said, ‘Isn’t everybody somebody?’” Farr said. “Everybody is somebody, but the problem in a lot of our churches is that we act like we have to be one of us to be somebody.” Farr’s grandmother with the first woman county University Extension Agent in the state of Missouri. He recalls going to the grocery store with her as a child, and she would stop and have a long conversation with someone else at the store. When they moved on, often when he asked who the person was, she would say she had no idea. “She taught me a lesson I’m not proud of: how to fake it,” he said. “We’ve let the culture of fakeness come into our churches. On Sundays we have a hospitality routine, where we say hi to people as we look at the other people who we really want to talk to. We like to be with the people we already know.” As pastor Farr helped build greeter systems. Looking back, he thinks he should have gone further. “We need more than a greeter system, we need people who want to connect,” Farr said. “We don’t need more friendly churches. What people are looking for is a real friend, a real connection.” Farr used the example of Lego blocks to illustrate his point. When the blocks are stacked squarely on top of each other they have a firm connection – you can barely pry them apart. But they don’t have any room to connect with other blocks. It’s only when that connection is offset, or loosened a bit, that connections to others can be made. Farr concluded his sermon with a personal story about growing up in small, rural church. His father, fireman, never attended. He died fighting a fire when Farr was in his first year of seminary. He lives with the regret of the connection that could have been.

“Why didn’t anyone from that church ever go down to the fire station and start a relationship with my Dad?” he said. It’s that kind of thinking that drives Farr’s ministry, and is why he’s always been comfortable as an itinerant pastor. “Wherever you send me, I’m going to introduce people to Jesus Christ,” Farr said. “You need to get out of church and make new connections. Everybody is somebody in the church of Jesus Christ.”
