Christmas Worship Schedule - Chester United Methodist Church

December 2015
Greetings from
Pastor Sylvia
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I wanted to send you a Christmas prayer…to let you know that I am praying for
you…I have copied this beautiful song/prayer done by BeBe Winans…Let’s sing it
and pray it and live it…REPEAT. (You can hear the song on YouTube.)
I pray for peace
Blessings and honor
Heaven right earth’s despair
This is my Christmas prayer.
And each other’s burdens share
Oh this is my Christmas prayer.
See I pray that love will rule and reign
And I pray that time will rid the pain of this world
As we learn to trust and care
This is my Christmas prayer.
For those that grieve
God will bring comfort
Laughter will rapture there
This is my Christmas prayer.
See I pray that love will rule and reign
And I pray that time will rid the pain of this world
As we learn to trust and care
This is my Christmas prayer.
I pray for you, yes, I know you do
That your triumph and conquer
Poses the strength you need to bare
This is my Christmas prayer.
For those in need
There would be plenty
So let hope fill our hearts, let’s let hope fill our hearts
Shine the light through the dark
See I pray that love will rule and reign
And I pray that time will rid the pain of this world
As we learn to trust and care
This is my Christmas prayer
This is my Christmas prayer
Merry Christmas and may Christ be born in you!
(and Lynn)

DIRECTOR OF SPIRITUAL FORMATION
There he (Josh) was shuffling papers, 8 of them in fact. This one he moved that way, that
one came forward. All this proper paper filing and positioning happened during the
singing of “How Beautiful” which was beautiful. All this action happened after many
people had lined up all the way from the piano to the guitar section of the Fresh Start
Service with new members’ families and Chester Chums galore. Thanks be to God. God is
blessing us so…
Dr. Jim Davis
During our Traditional Service Miss Danika Sapana Bala demonstrated model
behavior for infant baptism…Thanks be to God. God is blessing us so…
Noah Haskins demonstrated model behavior for a young child while his parents, after prayers and
considerations, joined our Church family as modern witnesses…Thanks be to God. God is blessing us so…
From November 21 through Thanksgiving and beyond, CARITAS Families will be blessing us with their
presence and witness as children of God. Thanks be to God. God is blessing us so…
November 29 is the First Sunday of the Christian year called the First Sunday of Advent. Here we will be
counting 18 new church members who have been attending Confirmation class with Pastors Sylvia and Patrick.
Thanks be to God. God is blessing us so…
On December 1 our new Children’s and Family Minister comes on board to serve the Lord among us. With
some overlapping ministry with our beloved Stacey Ferrer, our new staff person will continue to value the
importance of our committed church family. Thanks be to God. God is blessing us so…
With Thanksgiving (Nov. 26), Christian New Year (Nov. 29), Christmas (Dec. 25) and Secular New Year (Jan.
1) straight ahead there is still time to commit to our Prayer Covenant. By joining this effort, you will be praying for
one hour each day and underpinning the exciting ministries God is causing through Chester United Methodist.
Thanks be to God. God is blessing us so…
CUMC is a Prayer Covenant Congregation:
Again this year, Bishop Cho has challenged us and we
will commit to being a Covenant Prayer Church in the VA Conference. This means that 10% of our congregation
needs to make a promise to spend 1 hour each day in prayer and spiritual disciplines, i.e. reading scripture,
meditating, fasting and focusing on the power of God. Many of you are already doing this and we would like your
names. We also need the names of those who are ready to commit to one hour of prayer daily as we begin a NEW
YEAR. Just as God has brought us to where we are through prayer, God will take us where God wants us to go
through prayer.
Operation Christmas Child Update: We delivered 185 shoeboxes and 3 bags of goodies
to the Samaritan’s Purse! Please continue to pray for the children in need around the
world who will receive these gifts. Thanks to all for participating.
Thank You, Church, for generously providing CCHASM Thanksgiving Meal Packages and
donations for grocery gift cards. We collected 60 meals and over $2,300.00!
MUSIC NOTES
The Christmas season is always rich with wonderful music that tells the story of our Savior’s birth. We offer
a number of concert opportunities that may be appealing to folks who otherwise wouldn’t set foot in a
church. Take a moment to pray over the names of some people who are near and dear to you, who perhaps
need to catch a glimpse of the peace that only God can give. Invite them to join you for one or more of
these special invites, and then ask God to touch their hearts in some special way! Postcards are available for our
Christmas musical. Please leverage this ministry tool and invite your friends and neighbors!

place them in the mission closet. We are also in need of socks, gloves, and chapstick.
Random Acts of Christmas Kindness! Make this a family tradition! There will be Kindness Cards that you can
pick up on the Quench bulletin board, outside of the Davis Fellowship Hall. Quenchers will be placing ideas and
acivities on the board to get you started. Your family may choose to participate once per week OR everyday
through the Christmas season!
We are praying that you and your family are able to cherish this season and make beautiful memories! Happy
Birthday Jesus!
The Middle Schoolers helped make Thanksgiving special for our community and our CARITAS families in
November. They helped the DASHers sort and organize food for CCHASM meals. The young people did a fabulous
job of guiding and supporting our DASHers. A grateful “Thank You” to our church family for supporting the
children and youth in this outreach. The following Sunday, they made lunches for our CARITAS families. A special
thanks to their parents for providing all the food we needed for making the lunches. Such a simple task, and yet it
brought the youth great pleasure to serve the needs of others.
CUMC Preschool
From Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Grubbs’ 4-year old class
What a wonderful month to be teaching children. The month of December is such an
exciting time. Our class will be learning the true meaning of Christmas. We will be
busy making wonderful Christmas crafts as we learn letters, numbers, and mostly how to be a good Christian.
Our class comes to school each day in hopes that our classroom pet “Mr. Tickles” has escaped from his crate.
Mr. Tickles is a turtle that is a stuffed animal. The children so enjoy trying to find him each day. We have
“Chapel” each morning and learn lessons from the bible. We have been busy practicing Christmas songs for
our program on December 17. The preschool will end their month with a Festival celebrating the birth of our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and a Christmas program for our families. If you are in need of a preschool, feel
free to come by and visit. We would love to be able to teach your child in a loving Christian manner.

Dear CUMC Family,
Tommy and I experienced the
“Love of God” thru our Church
Family on Christmas 1969, when
our home was destroyed by fire.
Again, you are here for me, as we
celebrate Christmas.
Thank you from the bottom of my
heart.
Thank you so much for the
beautiful luncheon. The family
really appreciated it, the food
was delicious and the hall
looked beautiful.
Please use this donation for the
next family in need, in memory
of my wonderful Mom.

CUMC receives many requests for assistance (rent, utility bills groceries, gas, etc).
Before we help a
person or family, CCHASM screens every applicant to verify that they are doing the best they can with their
resources and that the need is legitimate. Periodically, people show up at the church on Sunday mornings asking to
speak to the pastor about assistance or approaching people in our congregation or Sunday School classes for
money. We only screen assistance requests during weekly office hours, and we do not give assistance until we do a
thorough background check.
Sharing Tree - 2015
Each ornament on the tree in the Atrium represents an adult with an intellectual
disability who lives in Chesterfield County and does not have family or will not
receive Christmas gifts without your help. Here's how it works:
 Choose an ornament from the tree no later than Tuesday, December 1. There is a second tag
for each individual. Write your name on this tag and place it in the basket for Terry. Terry has a
master wish list with contact information for each Case Manager, should you have any questions
or lose your tag.
 Bring your items back, labeled with the ID# of the ornament you chose, and place under the
tree by Tuesday, December 8 (wrapped or unwrapped: your choice!) Gift ideas are on the
ornament for your convenience.
Even in tough times, there is always enough to share! Thanks so much for all of your support in
the past! Our individuals have been really excited to receive gifts and really appreciate your
kindness!
For more information, please contact Sonja Jackson ([email protected]).
