To forgive is one of the hardest things
we Christians are commanded by our
Lord to do. Recently I read a powerful
article on forgiveness. It featured
Jeanne Bishop, a public defender and
vocal opponent of the death penalty. In
1990 her sister, Nancy, and her husband
were murdered in their home. Having
shot her husband, the gunman shot
Nancy in her abdomen “great with
child” and left her to bleed to death.
Certainly we all agree that executing
innocent people is unacceptable. “But
what about the guilty, the remorseless,
the perhaps proud killer?” Jeanne
argues that executing the murderer
brings no closure to loved ones’ grief.
“Imagine,” she writes, “if all that my
sister’s killer could give me in return for
my loved ones’ lives were his life, his
death could never begin to pay for
theirs.” She goes on—and here’s the
part that’s so powerful—“I forgive
Nancy’s killer…not because he has an
excuse—he has none whatsoever. I

forgive not because he asked for it; he
has not. Rather I forgive for the One
who asked me to and taught me to.”
I write this article not to take a stand on
the death penalty but to remind us, we
who are called to set our minds on the
things that are above, why we forgive
anyone. Ultimately it has nothing to do
with how others have sinned against us.
For authentic disciples it has everything
to do with the One who prayed on the
cross, “Father, forgive them, for they
know not what they do.” For many of
us, whether or not we forgive is a
circumstantial sort of thing. If the
offense is sufficiently grievous we tend
to exempt ourselves from Christ’s
command to forgive “70 X 7”—code
language for “Let there be no end to
your forgiveness.” We don’t even
wince when we ask God, “Forgive us
our trespasses as we forgive those who
trespass against us.” Don’t we even
believe that God answers prayer?
There’s something wonderfully
liberating about always knowing What
Would Jesus Do. It’s so clean and clear
and…excruciatingly painful. The
Apostle Paul said that we must “crucify
our flesh.” We have to put to death our
pride, our anger, our hate. Why? “You
have been raised with Christ.” It’s the
gospel model, my friends; resurrection
is always preceded by a crucifixion.
We who would rise with Christ must
learn to die with him from time to time,
too.

Medical and Educational Focus
How you can help:
1) Consider being a part of the of the mission team:
• Looking for folks who want to teach children in a country where education is at a premium. Come love
God’s children by touching their minds.
• Looking for folks who want to work with the medical teams out in the remote communities or medical
professionals to work in the hospital.
• Looking for folks to build relationships with our brothers and sisters in a country so closely tied to the
United States, yet so far removed from our country in so many ways.
2) Consider donating school kits for children. They also need any teaching resources you can offer. The
schools have absolutely nothing with which to teach!
3) Consider donating medical supplies, sheets, and other items for the hospital.
For detailed information, check out the bulletin board across from the church office or contact Brenda Booth at
[email protected] or Dorothy Funkhouser at [email protected] or 484-0181.

Opportunities to Serve God and
His Children at HUMC
VBS, July 18-21, needs many adults and youth
to make “Hometown Nazareth” come to life at
HUMC. It’s a great VBS, and we want to
reach many, many children. To do so, we need
many, many helpers. To serve, email Deb
Happel at [email protected].
Sunday School for the 2011-2012 year, needs
teachers to teach our children about God’s
amazing love through Bible stories. A most
rewarding service opportunity, to be sure.
Teach, learn, grow, nurture – that’s what the
Kingdom is all about. To serve, email

Authentic Discipleship 101
New Members Class
Sunday, May 15; 2pm-5pm in the New Life Center
Anyone interested in joining our faith community or just learning more about Haymount UMC is invited
to this workshop. We’ll concentrate on understanding what it means to be God’s disciple at Haymount.
Registration is requested. You may register by contacting Dorothy Funkhouser at (910) 484-0181 or
[email protected], or on the church website. We’ll meet in the New Life Center.
Reflection: What makes a “Christian” family?
In May, we not only celebrate the gift of motherhood on Mother’s Day, but we, as a church, focus
on the Christian family as a whole. So what makes a “Christian” family?
• Christian families pray together.
• Christian families set priorities to include:
- weekly worship of their God
- steady, regular spiritual growth through Sunday School and other Bible study
opportunities
• Christian families read the Bible together and share devotionals together.
• Christian families learn together that loving God means making Him #1 in their family life,
and loving His people by helping them in all the ways they can.
Be bold, be different, so that when people look at you, they can say, “That is a ‘Christian’ family!”

Bible Readings and Prayers for the Month
May 1: After Other Gods
Acts 2:14a, 22-32; Psalm 16; I Peter 1: 3-9; John 20: 19-31
“As for the saints who are in the land, they are the glorious ones in whom I delight. The sorrows of those will increase who
run after other Gods.” Ps 16: 3-4 NIV
Lord, we have so many today who run after other gods. They are blind to Your ways. Open their hearts to truth. Help those
who are blind to see that it is by Jesus’ boundless mercy that God has given us the privilege of being born again. First we
experienced physical birth; later at salvation we experience spiritual birth. Thank You, Father, that we now have the
opportunity to live in wonderful expectation because Jesus Christ rose from the dead over-coming sin, death and the wrath of
God. Through this sacrificial death and His resurrection we have the wonderful blessing of receiving His righteousness if we
believe and accept this great gift. I Peter 1:4 says that God has reserved a priceless inheritance for His children who believe. It
is kept in heaven for us, pure and undefiled beyond the reach of change and decay. Thank You, O God. Amen. (Paraphrased
from I Peter 1: 3-4.)
May 8: “What Must We Do?”
Acts 2: 14a, 36-41; Psalm 116: 1-4, 12-19; I Peter 1: 1-17, 23; Luke 24: 13-35
“Let Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ. When the people heard
this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, ‘Brothers, what shall we do?’” Acts 2: 37
Lord, when Peter spoke to the people at Pentecost, his message was anointed, and the people realized their sin of rejecting and
crucifying Jesus. They cried out, “Brothers, what must we do?” Peter replied, “Repent every one of you and be baptized in
the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” Lord, help us to
understand that we Christians have the Holy Sprit in us to teach, comfort, protect, provide, convict and bless in many ways.
Teach us how to allow this Third Person of the Trinity to take control of our being allowing Him to direct every aspect of our
daily lives. May He be ever present with us, eager to help us make wise and godly decisions. Father, may we never grieve
Him who has sealed us for the day of redemption. Praise You, O God. Amen.
May 15: Fellowship of the Believers
Acts 2: 42-47; Psalm 23; I Peter 2: 19-25; John 10: 1-10
“And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.”Acts 2: 47b
Lord, these early believers gave all to You – their lives, their resources, and their time and prayers. This total commitment
resulted in many being saved. Father, we realize we live in a complex time. Our lives are geared so differently; times have
changed. Father, help us to understand that You have not changed. “You are the same yesterday, today and forever.” – Heb.
13: 8. Therefore, our commitment should not change. Help us to discern how to deal with the whole person today. May our
desire be to minister to the lost as You direct us. Father, so often we minister to their physical needs and ignore their spiritual
needs. May we resolve to minister to the soul as well as the body. May our actions produce persons for Your kingdom. May
the desire of our hearts be to rescue the spirit by introducing them to You. Give us courage and the anointing of Your Holy
Spirit to carry the Good News to those who need You. Amen.
May 22: Light and Truth in Darkness
Acts 7: 55-60; Psalm 31: 1-5, 15-16; I Peter 2: 2-10; John 14: 1-14
“Therefore, rid yourselves of all evil… Like newborn babies crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your
salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.” I Peter 2: 1a-2
Lord, help us to search our hearts to rid ourselves of all evil. We realize that our human nature still desires to control us,
tempting us with all the worldly devices that Satan has. But, Lord, since we have committed our life to You, we know that
“Greater is He (Jesus) that is in us than He that is in the world.” – I John 4:4. Please, Lord, help us to be faithful. Help us not
to just pretend to be good but help us to put away hypocrisy, jealousy and backbiting. May we get rid of malicious behavior
and deceit. May we crave that which will help us to grow into the fullness of Your salvation. Lord, build us into living stones
in Your spiritual temple. May we become light and truth to a dark and dying world. Help us to reflect Jesus with such purity
from You that it will convict those who are lost. Have mercy on us when we fail, Father. Please set us up again with a
burning desire to succeed for You. Amen.
May 29: The Comforter
Acts 17: 22-31; Psalm 66: 8-20; I Peter 3: 13-22; John 14: 15-21
“And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another counselor to be with you forever, the Sprit of Truth.”
John 14: 16-17a
Father, in the fourteenth Chapter of John You promise us if we love You and obey what You command that You will give us
the Comforter, the Holy Spirit. We thank You and praise You for this wonderful gift who is given to us at our birth into Your
kingdom. How comforting it is to know that You are with us at all times – that we do not have to call You or run You down
to commune with You because You are ever present with us. Teach us, Father, how to submit completely to Your Spirit,
allowing Him to guide and direct every aspect of our lives. Help us to understand that we have the very mind of God to
counsel us through Your Spirit. O, how blessed we are, Father, to have You in control of our lives through the sacrificial
death of Your precious Son, Jesus.

Interfaith Hospitality
Interfaith Hospitality Network is an organization that provides temporary housing for families who are
homeless, but are working to become employed and independent.
We will host families at the YAC on May 15 - 21. People are needed to be evening and night hosts Sunday
through Friday nights (Saturday is already covered).
Evening Hosts arrive at 5:15pm to eat dinner with our guest families and visit with them during the evening.
Dinner will be provided. We need for you to provide some supervision and warm Haymount hospitality.
Night Time Hosts arrive at 8:15pm to get briefed and take over from the Evening Hosts. There are
opportunities to visit with our guests. You lock the building at 9pm. It’s bed time for children at 9pm, for
teens at 10pm, and lights out for adults at 11pm. Night hosts spend the night in one of two small Sunday
school rooms on the ground floor of the YAC, while our guests have rooms upstairs. You are free to go to
sleep yourselves at 11pm. At 6am you’ll wake up our guests and help them get breakfast, which is provided.
They are picked up at 6:45am. After you check to make sure lights are off and food is put away, you may
leave.
If you are able to help, please contact Linda Raplee at 630-1803 or [email protected].

May 1: No Echo! (Spring Break)
May 13-14: Gurly/Burly Weekend
The Senior High girls are going to the beach for the night and doing whatever it is that
girls do. All guys are welcomed to show up at the YAC for a weekend of manly
competition. We’ll split into teams and have the first ever ECHO Burly Cup! We’ll have
different events throughout the weekend in and around Fayetteville and the winners
will receive a trophy and their team picture will be hung in the YAC for the rest of
ETERNITY! Guy’s cost: $30. Deadline for sign-ups for the guys is May 4.
May 22: Confirmation Sunday
Confirmation is May 22 at both the 11am Traditional and New Sanctuary services.
Confirmands are encouraged to be confirmed in whichever service they attend. A
reception under the magnolia tree will immediately follow the services, so please stop
by and congratulate the Confirmands!
May 22: End of School Bash, 4pm-8pm
We’ll have inflatable games, we’ll grill out and we’ll have worship outside. We’re giving
away a gift card to the person who brings the most friends. The gift card will be in the
amount that equals the number of friends you bring! So if someone brings 50 people,
they’ll get a $50 gift card! There will be other prizes throughout the night and we’ll
end with a challenge for students for the summer. This will be our last Sunday ECHO
for the school year!
Echo Student Ministries exist to LINK teenagers to Christ and UNITE them
with other Christians, to ENHANCE their walk and help them UNLEASH
their God-given talents so they can WORSHIP God in all that they do.
