H. Delaney Minister of Visitation Harold Shives (336) 434-6348 Director of Youth & Children's Ministries Pat H. McKim [email protected] 2006 It has been great to be back at Archdale, to see old friends, and meet so many new people. Meredith and I have both enjoyed our time with you. The 29th of January was our last Sunday during Dana’s renewal leave and I am glad I was available to help. Archdale is a great church. It’s run by lay people. I haven’t had to do much except preach and visit in the hospital. Everything seems to be running well. This is a sign of a good discipleship. When I was pastor here (1980-1986), there was a Food Lion in the Kmart shopping center. I had stopped by to get some groceries and was waiting at the check out. The lady in front of me paid for her groceries and started out the door. She had left her wallet on the counter. I grabbed it, ran out the door, and caught her, returning the wallet. She thanked me and then she noticed who I was. “You are the preacher at Archdale UMC aren’t you?” “Yes ma’am, I am.” “Well, you had to return my wallet didn’t you? You’re a preacher and you had to do it. But, thank you anyway.” I went back to my groceries trying to figure all of that out. This is what I shared on the following Sunday about it. I am paid to be “good”, so people expect it and don’t think much about it when I do my “job” right. However, if it had been a regular church member, a lay person who returned the wallet, it would have made a much different impression. Lay people are good for “nothing.” They aren’t paid to be “good.” Director of Lay Ministries Marilyn Holtham [email protected] There is a lot of truth in the play on words. If the preacher visits a first time worship visitor, that person is likely to return 50% of the time. If a lay person, a “good” for nothing person visits that first time visitor, it is 80% likely that they will return. Secretary Debbi Colón [email protected] It appears to me that Archdale UMC has a lot of “good” for nothing members and that’s why their church is so great! Organist/Choir Director Cheryl Traylor [email protected] Pianist Denise Warren [email protected] Custodian Russ Carr [email protected] I want to thank all those who helped me do my “paid” work here: Debbi Colón, Pat McKim, Cheryl Traylor, Denise Warren, and Russ Carr (who cleaned up all of that popcorn in the sanctuary). I am especially grateful to Harold Shives. Harold and I have worked together in two districts but this time I got to work with him as my boss! We’ll be back because our daughter and son-in-law, Julie and Todd Messner are visiting Archdale. They live on Alison Lane and are expecting their first child, so we’ll be back soon! We love you all. Thanks for a great 9 weeks. Peace be with you. The Archdale Trinity Chamber of Commerce Presents Awards: Charles & Brenda Eurillo who received the “Youth Advocate Award”.

Your Safe Sanctuary team strives to help us do that: ☺ Parents, please remember to accompany your child to Sunday School and pick them up from their room following class. ☺ If your child must leave during worship for any reason, please go with them. ☺ If you have not filled out a background check form and your are currently serving in ministry with our children or youth, please contact Pat at the church office to do this now. ☺ (A future training event for Safe Sanctuary will be held soon) Please contact Arch Hamilton; Chairperson of our Safe Sanctuary Ministry Team with questions, 434-4179. FEBRUARY 19TH with SINGER, STORYTELLER, ED KILBOURNE Prayer changes lives! Thank you to each person who has responded to a life changing relationship with one of our children or youth! Thank you also to those of you who have taken a second person so that child/youth might have a mentor. Our banquet will be a celebration of these relationships and the power of what God can do in our lives. Too many times in our lives today we are isolated by only our own generation. This time together crosses those generations and reminds us what we can become together. Mentors, please invite your child/youth to meet you on Sunday, February 19th at 5:00pm in the Fellowship Hall for a time of good food, laughter, and a reminder of our baptism. Ed Kilbourne brings a wonderful blend of storytelling and music that will have us laughing and remembering who God calls us to be. Mentors of young children are invited to extend the invitation to a parent to join their child as well. A love offering will be taken to offset our cost of the evening. Thank you for all you are and will become to our children!
