Our Mission:
To Transform Lives and
Make Disciples for
Jesus Christ
Pastor’s Corner
James Harnish has published some great guides for
Lenten study over the years. Out of “Living with the Mind
of Christ,” James asked this question: What does it take
to change your mind ?
He was not referring to changing your mind on the small
stuff, like what model car will you buy, the destination of
your next vacation, or how you will lay out the furniture this
month in your living room. He is speaking to fundamental change, the real and
radical change that results in practical changes in the way we live out our lives.
One of the most eloquent passages offered in the New Testament was written by
the Apostle Paul and recorded in his letter to the Philippian church (Phil. 2:1-11 ).
His purpose is as challenging as it is clear. He is determined to change our
minds. The call he pronounces is to “…be of the same mind, having the same
love, being in full accord and of one mind” (v. 2). We too are challenged today to
“…let the same mind be in us that was in Christ Jesus” (v. 5). This is a way of
thinking that determines action. We might use the word mind-set. It is that
fundamental foundation on which we build our lives. It becomes that internal
frame of reference through which we perceive everything else.
The faith we receive as God’s gift to us is no small adjustment on the exterior of
our lives. It is not a self-help manual to make our lives run smoother. The Apostle
Paul is not a pop psychologist offering quick bits on self-improvement. To
become a follower of Jesus requires a radical reorientation of our thinking
resulting in an equally radical transformation of our living. It calls for nothing less
than the mind-set with which Jesus came into
this world, lived, died, and rose again becoming
the mind-set by which we live, die, and are
raised to new life.
And that truly is like the mocha grande of change
we are talking about as we talk about following
Christ! Choosing to follow, to be a joyously
obedient disciple of Christ means nothing about
ourselves remains the same.
Everything changes forever!
Lord, help each one of us through this Lenten season, make the time to fully commit our lives to
becoming faith-filled disciples (followers) of Christ, so that we may bear witness to God’s great love
in refreshingly new and deeper ways throughout our lives together as Your church.
See you at the cross each Sunday, Pastor Mike

The Walk to Emmaus...A Secret Society?
When I first started attending St John’s UMC in Kingman Arizona, I kept hearing what seemed to be
whisperings of The Walk to Emmaus. In the beginning I never gave it much thought, but year after year
I would hear of people attending this mysterious walk. What was it? Was it a 3 day treacherous hike
through the desert? As the years past, I felt God nudging me to get more information and to consider
attending. I finally invited myself to one of the Emmaus Community gatherings and met a bunch of happy, fun people. We worshiped God, sang songs, had fellowship, and yes ate lots of food. I didn’t have
to give it a second thought, I attended women’s walk #62 in the fall of 2012.
Though a person desiring to attend a weekend walk, needs a sponsor, what I found out, is that the Walk
itself is NOT a secret society nor is it 3 days of hiking! The Walk to Emmaus, is a Journey with Christ
(as shared in Luke 24:13-35), while getting to know a group of wonderful like-minded Christian men and
women (the men’s and women’s walks are held on separate weekends). It is a three day weekend
beginning on a Thursday evening and running through Sunday afternoon; open to
members of any Christian denomination and is for the development of Christian leaders who have a
desire to strengthen their spiritual lives, may have unanswered questions about their faith,
understand that being Christian involves responsibility and are willing to dedicate their everyday lives to
God in an ongoing manner.
The weekends revolve around discussions that center around fifteen talks given by laity and clergy and
these talks present the theme of God’s grace, how that grace comes alive in the Christian
community, and how it expresses itself in the world. In addition to the life changing talks, the
weekends are also filled with fellowship, worship, singing, laughing, learning, praying, reflecting and
communion. You will leave with an experience of Christian love in action that will equip you for new
levels of grace filled service and leadership.
The weekend is just the beginning of your four-day journey, which is simply walking closer with Christ
for the rest of your life. To help ensure this new closeness with Christ, “pilgrims” (those who have
completed a walk) are encouraged to form reunion groups, or accountability groups. The Emmaus
Community also has regular potluck gatherings, every other month, as I mentioned above.
There are also yearly chances to give back to the community by serving on future walks.
The upcoming walks for the year 2016 are October 6-9 for the men and
October 20-23 for the women. Couples are highly encouraged to attend walks consecutively, though it
is not a requirement. For further information on the Walk to Emmaus, see Pastor Mike or for an
application email Heidi Heer at [email protected] or call her at 928-565-0213.

Endings and New Beginnings
It is with great pleasure I can inform you, the congregants and friends of
St. John’s United Methodist Church, that we were able to pay 100% of our
Conference apportionments. And the most wonderful thing is that we were able
to do so prior to the end of calendar year 2015. This is the first time since I have
been Treasurer/Finance Director that we have accomplished this momentous event. Oh, we have paid 100% before but usually going into the next January to make it so.
Thank you all for your generosity and commitment to St. John’s and our Lord.
New Beginnings
In all things I have shown you that…we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he
himself said, “It is more blessed to give than receive” (Acts 20:35). And indeed it is. Which of us cannot recall
the look of surprise and thanks for the Christmas gifts that we labored to give to those whom we love? And the
joy written on their face when that gift is received with thanksgiving, means more than all the gifts we have
received. It is more blessed to give than to receive.
Jesus gave of Himself, sparing not even His life in death, in order to give us back to our Father in heaven. He
knew that in giving, you get more because in giving joy is multiplied: The one who receives and the one who
gives both rejoice in what is given and received. What is more the one who receives is thankful and only wants
to give back to the one who gave so generously.
So also with our tithes and offerings in the church. We want to give because we have received from God all that
we are and all that we have. Our giving does not originate in what we must do to earn God’s favor. We have
God’s favor because of the gift of His Son, Jesus. Therefore, we are made free from the compulsion of giving.
Our tithes and offerings are to be freely given in thanksgiving for what God has so generously given to us.
So why does the church so often struggle to make budgets? Why does the church always seem stretched so
thin? After all the church is the place where God not only gives to us once, but continually again and again.
And what gifts God gives! He gives us the forgiveness of sins, pours out His grace and mercy because He loves
us. So why does the church struggle?
It is because sin still clings to us. Our sinful nature makes us selfish and miserly. It leads us to believe that we
can have our cake and eat it too. Because of sin we want to receive, but not give. We want God’s blessings, but
we don’t want to share them with those around us. We want to remain comfortable in our own self-contained,
neat and tidy lives, without the headaches of loving those around us by helping them in their time of need.
Remember that God has placed you in a church, not only to receive His grace and mercy, but also to use you to
bless others. We are to be His hands and feet here on earth. Your tithes and offerings ensure that those around
you have a pastor to preach the life-saving and life-giving Word of God. They ensure that the lights and heat and
air-conditioning are working. They ensure there is water for Baptism and elements for Communion. Everything
the church does. It is able to do by and through the generosity of the members and friends who worship
together. So remember the words of our Lord Jesus. It is more blessed to give than to receive. And remember
the joy that attended the gifts you gave at Christmas. This same joy attends your gifts to the church.

A Big Hairy Deal?
I had an enlightening experience on Christmas morning and thought I’d share it with you. It went something like this:
So it’s Christmas morning and my bathroom sink is clogged. It’s disgusting, slimy tooth paste foam is just floating in
the sink. The water level isn’t getting lower and I still have to finish getting ready for the day. I get an old cup and start
to bail the water from the sink into the toilet. With every scoop, splat and gag, I feel myself getting more and more
resentful.
It’s not fair that my hair is falling out anyway. Women aren’t supposed to go bald! The doctor says it’s probably a result
of my stomach surgery but that’s not fair either. I didn’t do anything to cause the problems with my stomach. I was kind
of glad that I was losing a little bit of weight after the surgery but honestly, I’d rather be a bit chubbier and still have
hair. I even began to think that maybe God just got tired of keeping track of how many hairs were on my head!
Scoop, splat, gag.
I try to look at the bright side. At least my hair isn’t falling out because I’m having chemo or something. I know so many
lovely people that have serious health problems. I should be grateful that I am healthy. But as I wait for Christmas
peace to overwhelm my aggravation, I just end up feeling guilty because at the moment, I don’t feel the peace that was
promised. Scoop, splat, gag.
I’m pretty ticked off at my husband too. I’ve been hinting around for days that my bathroom sink drain was getting slow.
He was supposed to do the dinner dishes last night too and he didn’t. Now I have to clean up the kitchen before I can
even cook all three meals for us today plus make them festive too. He spends more time in the kitchen at the church,
and when the drains were slow at church; he was all over it helping to get them fixed, but would he pour a little Drano
down mine once in a while, no….. Scoop, splat, gag.
I try to be grateful. At least I have my loved ones at Christmas. I think of the people I know who have lost their loved
ones. They’d give anything to have them back and wouldn’t mind one bit if they didn’t do the dishes. I think of the
people who have lost their loved ones in the recent terrorist attacks, and the mom who lost her baby earlier this week.
But while I wait for Christmas love to overwhelm my aggravation, I feel even guiltier because I can’t force
compassionate thoughts to make me feel the love that was promised. Scoop, splat, gag.
I retrieve the bottle of Drano from the garage. It’s the one that comes with that plastic, spiky thing designed specifically
for hair balls. I bought it weeks ago when I noticed that my hair was falling out and the sink was draining slowly but I’ve
put off using it. I don’t know why I put it off. It was just easier to ignore and avoid the problem.
As I twist and pull the stinking ball of hair and drain gunk out of my drain, I try to be mature and recognize my own
faults in this situation. But I find myself making excuses. After all, I do not have the ability to control whether my hair
falls out or not, do I? But then, well, I could eat a better diet and take my vitamins more regularly. I could have taken
the time to wipe the hair out of the sink instead of just rinsing it down the drain every morning. I could have asked my
husband directly instead of hinting around and then getting all resentful when he didn’t take the hint.
I could have poured the Drano in several days ago.
Suddenly, the hair ball is out! I wrap it in a plastic grocery sack and throw it away. I turn the hot water on full blast and
it drains immediately! It even made that satisfying gurgling sound that drains make when they flow freely. I am
suddenly overwhelmed with emotion. I am happy and so proud of myself. I find myself filled with Christmas joy and
actually tearing up with love and compassion for all the people I’d been thinking about. Seriously? Am I emotionally
unstable? How can it be that removing a hair ball could be, well….such a big, hairy deal?
So, I sat down on the lid of the commode and grabbed a bit of tissue to blot my tears as I pondered this occurrence. I
figured out that life is one big, hairy deal and sometimes it can turn into a stinky, slimy mess. And even though there’s
an awful lot of it that I have no control over, there are many things that I can do to make it flow better. I made a New
Year’s resolution to seek God’s help to manage the big, hairy deals of life the best I can before they become stinky,
slimy messes. Happy New Year! I pray that your whole year may be filled with Christ’s peace and love and that you
seek God’s help to do your best to manage your life and find joy in everyday challenges.
Proverbs 6:4 Don't put it off; do it now! Don't rest until you do. (New Living Translation)

I can’t believe that by the time you read this newsletter article, we will have completed
January’s Grapple study “Best Friends Forever”; where we looked at the importance of
choosing the right friends and what the traits of a true friend are. We discussed the
importance of having Christian friends, as well as having non-Christian friends. We
looked at the friendship between Jonathon and David, how Jesus hung out with those
sinners who the Pharisees wouldn’t be caught dead associating with and how this still
happens in life today. We discussed why we are to love all fellow classmates, as well as
all people and finished the four weeks with a study in the book of Proverbs and what it
says about friendship.
The month of February we will get away from Grapple, but will continue looking at
relationships, only we will be discussing how God would have us treat, handle and
relate to Bullies. This 4 week study is taken from a preteen ministry online group that I
belong to and the lessons will be as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Forgive Your Enemies
I Don’t Play That
Forgive
Wrap-up and Review of the prior weeks
I am expecting and hoping that these four weeks will stimulate some interesting
discussions and prepare us for our Easter study, starting in March.
Also, on January 22, a group of the TwIST parents and kids met to brainstorm about
what mission projects would be good for our Tweens to get involved with. Hopefully,
as you are reading this, we are already underway in preparing for our first project!
Details will follow.
Once again, I encourage you to invite any pre-teen you or your child may know, who
may or may not know the love of Christ, and who may or may not have a church family.
I encourage those parents who attend St John’s Sunday services with their pre-teen(s)
to consider and pray about getting your pre-teen involved with TwIST, and I will
continue to pray that God will speak to you and show you the importance that we
reach these pre-teens during this impressionable time of their lives.
TwIST is for 4th-6th grades (ages 9-12).
Blessings to you all,
Tracy Sheehy
