First United Methodist Church P O Box 157 143 College St Madisonville, TN 37354 The Flame May 2013 OPEN HEARTS, OPEN MINDS, OPEN DOORS Website: www.firstumcmadisonville.org Phone: 423-442-2471 Our Worship Times Worship for May 2013 May 5 – 6th Sunday of Easter, Holy Communion New Testament Lesson – Acts 16:9-15 Message – Called to Proclaim Good News Special Music – Ms. Nicole Hoover and Mr. Abel Carrico, students at Hiwassee, will be bringing special music as part of our service of worship. The apostle Paul is on the move. In a vision, he received a call to proclaim the gospel in Macedonia. Come this Sunday as we hear how this message was received and how the community responded in faith to the good news. We will also be sharing in the Lord’s Supper. May 12 – Ascension Sunday, Mother’s Day New Testament Lesson – Acts 1:1-11 Gospel Lesson – Luke 24:44-53 Message – Can I Get a Witness? Forty days after the Resurrection, after many people encountered the risen Christ, Jesus ascended into heaven. The final verses of the Gospel of Luke and the opening verses of Acts mark the transition from reports by those who knew Jesus when he walked on earth to the spread of the good news to those who heard the story from the eye-witnesses. How are we today witnessing to what we believe? May 19 – Pentecost Sunday, Heritage Sunday New Testament Lesson – Acts 2:1-21 Gospel Lesson – John 14:8-17, 25-27 Message – Water-Washed and Spirit-Filled Pentecost marks the end of the great 50 days of Easter and the birthday of the Christian Church. The passage from Acts 2 describes what happened when the followers of Jesus were gathered together after Jesus ascended into heaven. The Holy Spirit appeared as a mighty wind and as fire, empowering the disciples to speak so that all who heard might understand in their native language. The verses from John’s gospel include Jesus’ promise of the Advocate, the Holy Spirit to be with us and teach us everything we need to know. Everyone is invited to wear red to celebrate.

We live between remembering and imagination. We Imagination and Remembering We are still in the Great 50 Days of Easter! What a month we’ve had – cantatas, special services with great music, each raising the rafters with songs of our faith. And, we’ve had other events that have lifted the roof – the storm that went through a few weeks ago did major damage to some old and beautiful trees. Tall, majestic trees were toppled from their roots, and in some cases, came crashing into homes. Some in our church family were impacted by the storm. The clean up and rebuilding continues. Many thanks to all who pitched in to clear debris from the parsonage yard. The house itself sustained only minor damage, for which we are thankful. stand on the shoulders of the saints who have gone before us as we look to a future they could only begin to imagine. We have a faith that calls us to remember the night in which our Lord was betrayed, and he willingly suffered and died for our sakes, and for the sake of the whole world. And we have a faith that calls us to look into the future with hope, to declare with confidence, that while we have a storied past, our best days are yet to come. From Hebrews 11:1, “Faith is the reality of what we hope for, the proof of what we don’t see.” After spending time with my granddaughter, I remember what she was like when she was fresh to this world, and I am newly aware of who she is today. I can begin to imagine who she will be as she grows in life and in faith. After the cleanup and repair, the landscape around parts of Madisonville will be different, but will be beautiful in ways that could not be imagined before the storms hit. It now appears likely that the day is not far off when we will be able to look I missed that storm because I was winging my way to back and say, remember when malaria killed thouAnchorage, Alaska when it hit. My daughter’s family sands of people every day? And how we helped was there for the weekend for a job fair. Rather on the through the Imagine No Malaria effort to eliminate it? spur of the moment, I headed that way to spend time with them when they were in a less-remote area, and In faith, even when things are difficult and dark, we to care for my granddaughter while they interviewed are to keep looking ahead. Is your imagination as for new teaching positions. It was a rough job, but good as your remembering? someone had to do it! Right? I spent most of 3 days with my grand-girl, Virginia, and treasured every minute of it. Most of the pictures I took while there were Grace and peace, not of the beautiful Alaska scenery, but of the baby. The last time I saw her, she was 6 weeks old as Cara Pastor Carole flew home to Alaska with her after spending the summer with us. Virginia is now a healthy 8-month old girl, curious about the world around her, and interacting with everything in reach. Cara and Jim made good contacts at the fair and are in the process of sealing the deal at a new Alaska school system for the fall. The Imagine No Malaria effort is in overdrive. The United Methodist Church has taken on a major role in working to eradicate malaria, which is a preventable disease, in the near future. Holston Conference has set a goal of saving 100,000 lives by raising $1,000,000 by the time Annual Conference rolls around in June. As a Conference, we are more than half-way there! Rev. Charles Maynard, district superintendent of the Maryville District has spent the past week walking 100 miles across the district to raise awareness of the disease and the campaign to eliminate it. We at First UMC Madisonville have saved 60 lives. Can we do more? 3 Sue’s News * * * * * Reservations are now being accepted. Can you believe it? Summer is almost here!

In Christ Name, John & Sandra Acuff Men's Club Meeting Minutes April 14, 2013 6 Congratulations to our Sequoyah High School graduates: Kevin Collins, Valedictorian Matthew Harrell Devin Cross (Other graduates will be recognized at a later date.) The Library Corner—Book Reveiw by: Barbara Baiz Come Thirsty by Max Lucado is an inspirational book exploring the path from the troubled soul to finding God's Grace. His writing communicates the elements of the Gospel clearly. The mystery is... our good works can't buy salvation; but having Christ's love shine through us results in good works that spread the Gospel. The analogy of the Word as Living Water to quench and refresh the soul is well written. COMMUNITY MEAL Our next time to provide the community meal will be on Tuesday night May 14th at 5 PM at Madisonville Presbyterian Church. Kay and Joe Grubb will be coordinating this outreach effort. We will use the same menu we provided last time—chicken casserole, green beans, corn, bread, tea, lemonade, and dessert. Please let Kay know at 442-4608 what you will bring.
