Where Is God When You Need Him?
Last Sunday I shared that recently my faith was shaken by circumstances in my life.
I was so focused on the trial that was disrupting my ministry and my life that I ne-
glected to focus on the One who could keep me on track and give me clarity on this ob-
stacle. Recently I came across the following story in my files. The story affirmed for me the
abiding presence of The One who has the answers to all of life’s uncertainties. I hope, in sharing
this story with you, that you will call it to mind the next time you feel your faith threatened by
circumstances in your life.
A father took his son into the forest, blindfolded him and left him alone. The son was required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shone through it. He was not allowed to cry out for help to anyone. His father told him that once he survived the night, he would be a MAN. He could not tell the other boys of this experience, because each young man must come into manhood on his own. The boy was naturally terrified. He could hear all kinds of noises. He was sure he was surrounded by wild, dangerous animals, if not some human want-ing to do him harm. The wind blew and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold because he knew it would be the only way he could become a man. Finally, after a frighten-ing night, the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold. It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him. He had been on watch the entire night, protecting his son from harm. We, too, are never alone. Even when we don't know it, God is watching over us, sitting on the stump beside us. When trouble comes, all we have to do is reach out to him. Just because you can't see God doesn't mean he is not there. "For we walk by faith, not by sight."
May you receive the blessed assurance of God’s Abiding Presence, today and every day.
Pastor Kathy
A Blessing from God’s Heart to Yours
Today may there be peace within you. May you trust that you are exactly where God meant you to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of God’s faith in you and may you have faith in others. May you use the gifts that you have received and pass on the love and grace that has been given to you. May this prayer allow your soul the freedom to sing, laugh, dance, praise and love.

United Methodist Women News Faith * Hope *Love in Action
Coming Events:
Saturday, May 2nd: Spring Spiritual Growth Retreat at Pine Lake 9-3:00.

meeting. Check with your circle coordinator if you have questions about your circle’s meeting date and time.
Sunday May 10th: Dessert Sale Pledge Fundraiser between services. The following members will be baking
desserts: Marcia Devendorf, Carol Anderson, Linda McCullough, Karen Dolsey, Nancy Hindes, Sally Laubach,
Luane Meyer, Lyn Gates, and Lois Epps. Whole desserts will be sold (free will offering) on that day as a treat
for Mom on Mother’s Day. Please bring desserts on disposable containers to the church kitchen before 1st ser-
vice on the 10th. Labels listing name and any special ingredients such as nuts, should accompany all desserts.
Marcia D., Carol A., Karen D. and Luane M. will be staff at the sale. Thank you to everyone who volunteered to
help with this project.
June 1: Circle meetings Scheduled
Saturday June 13th: UMW Brat Sale at the Brat Barn. We will need workers that day to help with the grilling
and selling of the brats. Please contact Lois Epps to volunteer to help out on the 13th. This is another short term,
easy fundraiser that will help us reach our Pledge to Mission of $3000.
The Month of June: No Bake Bake Sale—another Pledge to Mission Fundraiser.
Spiritual Growth Retreat: Items for individuals who are homeless will be collected and delivered to Northcott
Neighborhood House in Milwaukee for distribution. Needed items: toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, soap, deodorant,
combs, gallon-sized plastic bags. Monetary donations: make checks payable to Heartland District UMW and write
Northcott Neighborhood House on the memo line. Even if you are unable to attend this retreat, please consider donating
one of the above items or giving a donation. See Luane Meyer for more information. If you listen to the news at all, you
are aware of the crisis that Milwaukee is in and much assistance is needed to help the homeless.
Diapers: Remember to consider donating size NB (newborn) or size 1 to Jackson County Interfaith Caregivers. Go to-
gether with a friend to help out a new Mom and her baby. Donations can be dropped off at the Interfaith Caregivers Of-
fice.
April Response: The focus of the April Response is on Latin America. The issue has many articles about the crises in
many Latin American countries that will help you understand why Latin Americans seek refuge in the United States,
how the US’s economic policies have adversely affected the economies in LA countries increasing the migration of citi-
zens to the US. The Bible study, “An Old Problem, Always New,” presents anew the story of migration in the Bible and
the story of today’s migration.
LIVE: “The first Methodist church in Argentina was built in 1843 and has grown steadily, preaching in Spanish since
its very beginning. A group of Methodist women from the US started a school in Rosario, which was the foundation for
Universidad del Centro Educativo Latinamericano (University of Latin American Education Center). Colegio Ward
(Ward HS) was established in 1913 in Buenos Aires with the support of the Board of Foreign Missions in the Methodist
Episcopal Church and the local Methodist Church” (from Latin America: People and Faith by Sonia Maria Barbosa
Dias, the 2015-2016 United Methodist Women geographical mission study, p. 86). Our Methodist foremothers have
been neighbors to women across the street and around the world for more than 150 years. Ours is a social gospel, follow-
ing the example of Jesus of not only preaching the love of God but showing it to all, no matter their earthly labels or bor-
ders in which they live.”
Learn more about our Latin American neighbors at Mission u this summer July 20-23 or on the Drive-in Day on July
24th. Be looking for more information coming soon.

Health Kits for Homeless Shelters
and Programs by May 15
The Mission Outreach Committee is currently gathering,
organizing, and purchasing items to be included in 30
health kits for men, women and children. These kits are
intended to be used for homeless individuals at the Har-
bor House Crisis Shelters at Superior, WI and the North-
cott Community House in Milwaukee. These shelters
and programs are sponsored by the Wisconsin Confer-
ence of the United Methodist Church. The deadline for
this project is May 15, 2015.
For your convenience, there is a Health Kit display
board and designated basket in the Gathering Area.
From the display board you may either: (1) select an
envelope listing certain needed items which cost less
than $5.00, or (2) select an envelope in which you may
place a suggested donation of $5.00 or more. If you
choose to write a check, please make the check payable
to the Black River Falls United Methodist Church and
write “Health Kits” on the memo line. Small items are
encouraged as all of the items for each kit must be
placed in one gallon zip-lock bags.
Many thanks to Pastor Kathy, members of the Staff-Parish Relations Committee, and members of the congregation for their kindness to me at the time of the celebration of my
20-year anniversary and during Administrative Professionals Week. I thank God for giving me the awesome opportu-nity to work in this place with so many special and caring people — both co-workers and church family members. I am truly blessed! Jill Prochaska

Book Review
Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story
by Ben Carson/Cecil Murphey
Ben Carson, M.D., works medical miracles. Today, he is one of the most celebrated neurosur-
geons in the world. In Gifted Hands, he tells of his inspiring journey from his childhood in inner-city
Detroit to his position as Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital at age 33. He
is a role model for anyone who attempts the seemingly impossible as he takes us into the operating
room where he has saved countless lives. Filled with fascinating case histories, this is the dramatic
and intimate story of Ben Carson's struggle to beat the odds—and of faith and genius that make him
one of the greatest life-givers of the century.
It is the story of one man's secret for success, tested against daunting odds and a mindset that
dares to take risks. Gifted Hands is an inspiring autobiography of this compassionate, God-fearing
physician who lives to help others. With his quick wit and down-to-earth style, this is a story you
won't easily forget.
Rhoda Gulso

Stephanie Brauner, Alex Hoffman, Lauren Perry, Sam Rogstad, and Jacob Woods have spent the last two years growing their faith through studying God’s Word, weekly classes, mission pro-jects, and sharing with each other what it means to be a person of faith.
I want to thank the Confirmands’ mentors—Roxie Hostrawser, Tom Epps, Rhoda Gulso, Jim Hornby, and Mark Hoffman for the time they have spent encouraging and guiding their students in faith.
I also want to thank the parents who gave their support and encouragement to their students as well as to the Confirmation process.

and care for the outside flowers
