THE VISITOR
APRIL 2015
MISSION TRIP TO HAITI
There were five of us – Karen Johnson, Ashley Crider, Brian Berry, Hal Clark
(from 1st UMC), and me – who made the trip to Augustin Haiti, to represent
Grace United Methodist and First United Methodist Churches in mission.
Karen Johnson and I were the rookies – experiencing the sights and sounds
of Haiti for the first time. The sights and sounds of Haiti are shocking –
seeing firsthand the extreme poverty, experiencing the lack of
infrastructure, and riding on roads that are more like rocky river beds than
real roads. But like so many who have gone before us, our hearts have been
captured by the people of Augustin Haiti. The children were wonderful.
They thrive on a little attention, having a chance to play catch or kick a
soccer ball. They delight in us learning their names and in them learning
ours. I was surprised by how close a bond I formed with some of the Staff
who were there to take care of us, the night watchman, Daniel, who jumped
in to serve and work alongside us day and night, Pastor Jean Claude who
invited me to preach the message during Sunday Worship, and Emmaneo
who was our driver, but also our teacher who helped us to pronounce and
understand many words in Creole that allowed us to communicate and
transcend the differences in language and culture.
I want to reassure you that the investment that Grace United Methodist
Church has made in Augustin Haiti is worth it. The church in Augustin was
packed – standing room only on Sunday morning for worship. The school
has over 100 children in attendance – all wearing the uniforms that the
people of Grace has provided. Dedicated teachers that worked for months
and months without pay are now being paid each month on time because
of the commitment of the Missions Committee and the generosity of Grace
Church. I was able to witness a strong, alive Christian community that is
meeting the needs of children, youth, and adults in this remote area of Haiti.
I extend my thanks to Brian Berry for being such a strong team leader and
organizing a wonderful trip. I am so proud and inspired to be a part of Grace
Church and see the difference we are making. Hal Clark, one of our team
members, put it this way: “The school gives hope for the present. The
church gives hope for all eternity.” We are doing our part to give hope to
the people of Haiti. To God be the glory.

NEW IN THE LIBRARY
The Cost of Discipleship by Dietrich Bonhoeffer. From the
back cover – “One of the most important theologians of the
20th Century illuminates the relationship between ourselves and
the teachings of Jesus” ..... a rebel.
DIETRICH BONHOEFFER was born in Breslau, Germany, in
1906. The son of a famous German psychiatrist, he studied in
Berlin and New York City. He left the safety of America to
return to Germany and continue his public repudiation of the
Nazis, which led to his arrest in 1943. Linked to the group of
conspirators whose attempted assassination of Hitler failed, he
was hanged in April 1945.
The Cost of Discipleship is a compelling statement of the
demands of sacrifice and ethical consistency from a man whose
life and thought were exemplary articulations of a new type of
leadership inspired by the Gospel, and imbued with the spirit of Christian humanism and a creative
sense of civic duty.”
ALSO:
Kathleen L. Bostrom is the author of a series of Little Blessings books, in hard cover and
paperback, now ‘blessing’ our Children’s Section. The poetic questions that title her books: Why
Is There A Cross?, What Is Prayer?, What About Heaven?, and more, are answered in charming
verse. The illustrations are the artwork of Elena Kucharik, artist for Care Bears. “Is heaven a
place that is near or far? Can I get to heaven by boat or by car? .... Your questions are good ones,
so let’s dive right in and see what the Bible says. Ready? Begin!!!

— Although Easter eggs were once part of pagan spring festivals, they’ve become Christian symbols of new life.
A cracked-open shell also represents Jesus’ empty tomb on Easter morning.
— For Lent, some families used to give up eggs and dairy, so they
prepared a pancake feast on Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash
Wednesday. They solved the egg surplus by hard-boiling them in
various broths, which led to colored eggs.

BRENDA YODER, Speaker and Author, at GRACE UMC
Brenda speaks to teen girls on Blurred Lines: Being Real In An
Artificial World. It is a powerful presentation for teen girls
and parents of teen girls and youth leaders. Kay Sieben
brought this to us after hearing Brenda share at last year’s
Iron Sharpens Iron Women’s Conference.
Brenda will also be sharing with parents and grandparents
(mentors, etc.) during morning Sunday School (9:15 am).
Please take advantage of this valuable resource as we seek
together to raise confident Christian women.
Brenda has a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health
Counseling and a B.A. in Education. After being a stay-athome-mom and teacher, she’s currently a school counselor
with a private counseling practice. In 2003 and 2004 she
received the “Powerful Connection” award for teachers.
Brenda has recently published Chicken Soup for the Soul’s
“Reboot Your Life”. Brenda and her husband live on a farm
in Northern Indiana with their four children.
Things people are saying about Brenda:
I honor your expertise in adolescent culture and parenting. I love the relevant topics you cover for
parents, particularly moms, and know they trust your wisdom.” Brian Housman, author of Tech Savy
Parenting.
“I appreciate the voice and heart of Brenda. She’s real and deep and wants all in her audience to live in
the fullness of God’s grace. Listen and be loved by a woman after God’s heart.” Jenny Bolt Price, Life
Coach at iwokeupyesterday , Stuart , Florida.

GENESEO YOUTH GATHERING (GYG) - Sunday, April 12
5:30 - 7:00 pm at St. Malachy Parish
Grace Junior High and Senior High Youth are invited to the Geneseo Youth
Gathering at St. Malachy on Sunday, April 12, 5:30 - 7:00 pm for sports, games, and
activities. We have emphasized youth worship for many of these events, but this
event will focus on bringing youth together from our churches to have fun. Friends
are welcome. Snacks will be provided.
BACCALAUREATE MEETING - Sunday, April 12
4:30 pm at St. Malachy Parish
There will also be a Baccalaureate Planning Meeting at St. Malachy Parish on
Sunday, April 12, 4:30 pm - prior to the Geneseo Youth Gathering for all
interested High School Seniors who will be graduating in May. The purpose of
this meeting is to bring together ideas of pastors, youth leaders, and HS Seniors
to plan and prepare for Baccalaureate that will be held on Sunday, May 17.
SENIOR HIGH YOUTH FUND-RAISER FOR ST. JUDE
Friday-Saturday, April 24 -25 at the Geneseo Community Center
The Senior High Youth will be holding a Fund-Raiser Lock-In for St.
Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital at the Community Center on
Friday, April 24, 10:00 pm - Saturday, April 25, 7:00 am. The Youth
will sign up sponsors to donate to St. Jude’s according to the activity
or activities that each Youth chooses as their area of participation.
There will be a free throw contest and Youth will get commitments
from sponsors for each free throw that is made. There will be an
indoor triathalon – including swimming, running, and stationary bike riding that will also be used for
sponsors to donate for each lap and each mile completed. Other activities that will be used for raising
funds are wally-ball (volleyball in a racquetball court), a snack-eating contest (yet to be determined), and
whatever other creative activities the Youth design for this event. We encourage sponsors to be generous
and get involved. St Jude’s Children Research Hospital serves the needs of children with life-threatening
diseases such as leukemia and cancer and provides the hospital care needed without charging the family
for their services. St. Jude’s has given many families hope as their children have battled serious diseases
without the added financial stress of long-term care and treatment. It is hoped that after holding this
fund-raiser in April some of our Youth will be able to participate in the St. Jude Runs event at the end of
July.

FIRST YOUTH SENIOR HIGH TRIP TO HAITI
The Senior High Youth will have their first mission trip to Haiti June 9-16. Adult sponsors for this trip are
Brett Decker, Nancy Lohman, and Jenny (Berry) Ryan. Students who are planning to attend are Reece
Bodeen, Cade Humphries, Jacob Decker, Jenna Decker, Daniel Lohman, and Matt Lohman. The youth will
be sprucing up the church and school campus before the Augustin church celebrates a day of weddings.
This has been a tradition at Augustin the last few years for two mission teams from the States to provide
the wedding dresses, clothes, and decorations for couples from the Northwest region of Haiti to come
together for a massive wedding celebration. As many as 25 couples have celebrated at one time. Our
youth will be there to serve the couples and families that come together for this joyous celebration. We
anticipate that the youth will have the continued opportunity to connect with the children of Augustin
and continue to help make improvements to the Augustin campus. Keep this team and their families in
your prayers as they prepare to make this trip, that it will be safe, successful, and fruitful experience for
serving in Christ’s name.
SENIOR HIGH YOUTH MISSION TRIP TO SOUTH DAKOTA
The Senior High Youth will also be participating in a youth mission trip with Walk on Water ministries to
Wakpala, South Dakota, to minister in the Lakota Indian Reservation, July 5-12. Registration is still open
for attending this trip. Pastor Mark will be one of the adult sponsors, as well as adults from St. Malachy.
All students that will be in high school in the Fall, including incoming Freshmen, are welcome to attend.
Please see Pastor Mark to register for this trip; spaces will be filling up soon.
JUNIOR HIGH MISSION TRIP - WEEK OF HOPE
The Junior High Youth will have the opportunity to participate in a Youth Mission Trip to either
Minneapolis, Minnesota or Indianapolis, Indiana, the week of June 29-July 3. The final location will be
determined by what openings they have when we complete our registration. During the Week of Hope,
students will work in soup kitchens, community centers, and senior citizen centers, serving the most
vulnerable people in the community. Registrations should be completed and returned to Pastor Mark
by Sunday, April 5.
Youth Mission trips - Haiti and South Dakota - will be raising funds for the Mission Trips.
The Easter Breakfast is one of the youth fund-raisers. Please come to the breakfast and
keep the youth in mind as you make your donations for the breakfast!

DOLLAR FOR DONUTS
“Scouting for Food” took place on March 21 and
we thank everyone who put out food for the
Scouts to bring to the Pantry. Our shelves are
stocked, and we are thankful for your blessings.
Unfortunately with 80+ households being served
each month, it does not take long for our
shelves to become empty again. The 23rd
Annual Letter Carriers “Stamp Out Hunger” food
drive will be Saturday, May 9. It is the largest
one-day food drive in America and is made
possible by thousands of letter carriers who
volunteer their time to participate; as well as
countless volunteers who help sort, collect, and
distribute much needed food to pantries and
food banks across the country. Locally, postal
employees, family members, and friends donate
the entire day for this event. Just leave your
donation by your mailbox and it will be picked
up when your mail is delivered that day. These
collections help carry us through summer
months when food donations decrease.
