Latham Farmers Market
Stephanie Och
The Farmers Market, now named Latham Farmers Market, will kick off its 3rd year on May 5th of 2015 at
3:00pm with a festive Cinco De Mayo scene including chips, salsa, and piñatas for the kids. The Farmers
Market board works very hard every year to bring you the best farmers with the best and freshest local fruits
and vegetables around! Most of the farmers from last year will be returning along with some new ones who we
are very excited to be hosting. The market is located in the Latham UMC parking lot and is a wonderful place
to bring your family and friends for weekly shopping enhanced with all age entertainment. Children can enjoy
jumping in the moon bounce and many other activities each week while the adults
are listening to live music, sampling the freshly made fare made from the freshest
ingredients possible.
Inside this issue:
Customers, or as we like to call them…friends, can purchase fresh peaches, strawNew Pastor Bio
berries, tomatoes, homemade jams and jellies, baked goods, fresh flowers, numerous
herbs, plants of all kinds, and other vegetables. There are truly too many wonderful Financial Report
choices to list. If you get hot you can purchase iced tea or iced coffee, gourmet ice
Youth News
cream, and popsicles while cooling off in the misting tent.
There are many special events planned week after week. Help us get the word out
with Latham Farmers Market yard signs and flyers.

If you do not have a yard sign, please take one and place it in your yard each Tuesday. We will have those in
the welcome center for you to pick up. Pass out flyers to friends and neighbors to help us have the most successful market possible even though last years’ will be tough to top! Remember when you support the market
not only are you supporting the wonderful mission at Latham UMC and helping build our membership, but
you are also supporting local farmers who really need you in order to keep their operations producing for the
community! We need them and we want them! Come and you will see why.
Below is a list of our vendors for the 2015 season. Please keep in mind this may change from time to time due
to weather or abundance of crops. Remember though, no matter who is there, it will be a wonderful time with
your family and you will be supporting the farmers right around the corner from you! You will leave with the
freshest most delicious fruits, vegetables, and products possible!
Meet our farmers….

On Changing Churches and Pastors
Rev. Hughey Reynolds
On April 9, our District Superintendent, the Rev. Dale
Cohen, called to tell me that beginning June 10, I will
be pastor of Decatur First United Methodist Church.
On April 10, Dale called Dean Stone, Latham’s SPRC
chairman, to say that the Rev. Mike Ratliff will be
Latham’s senior pastor. Mike’s bio is printed in this
issue of The Branch. I opened myself to the likelihood
of moving when in January I asked the Bishop and Cabinet to help discern where I could best be used. After
weeks of prayer and deliberation, they concluded that I
am the right person at the right time for Decatur First.
When I answered the call to preach in 1973, and again
when I was ordained in 1979, I agreed to go willingly
wherever the appointive authorities sent me. As Sandy
and I have done in seven previous moves, we go willingly and with anticipation of a good and happy ministry ahead of us, but we go with sadness over leaving the Latham staff, congregation, and community we have
grown to love dearly. We will always cherish in our hearts relationships we have developed here. We have
grown closer to Christ and each other as we have lived and loved and struggled and cried and laughed with
you.
At the same time, United Methodist pastors make a vow to “go where we are sent and stay away from when
we have been.” That may seem harsh, but we do this for the sake of your continued growth as disciples of Jesus Christ. I want you to turn to your new senior pastor, Mike Ratliff, and allow him to be the primary shepherd in your faith journey and your priest in critical and joyous moments such as baptisms, weddings, and funerals. I will not interfere with his ministry but will do all that I can to support him to be successful among
you. If circumstances ever arise and you feel that it is important to contact me, you may do so. Please know,
however, that I will consult Rev. Ratliff and we will determine together the best response. If I do return to
Latham for any occasion after June 10, it will be at your senior pastor’s invitation.
The author and priest Henri Nouwen wrote this about leaving and loving:
Every time we make the decision to love someone, we open ourselves to great suffering, because those we
most love cause us not only great joy but also great pain. The greatest pain comes from leaving. When the
child leaves home, when the husband or wife leaves for a long period of time or for good, when the beloved friend departs to another country or dies … the pain of the leaving can tear us apart. Still, if we want
to avoid the suffering of leaving, we will never experience the joy of loving. And love is stronger than
fear, life stronger than death, hope stronger than despair. We have to trust that the risk of loving is always
worth taking.
Sandy and I have loved and been loved deeply in our ten years with you at Latham. We have also felt and perhaps caused pain in our relationships, but nothing like the pain and sadness of saying goodbye to a people we
have lived among and loved longer than any other in all my years of ministry. We hold you in our hearts and
prayers. We ask you to do the same with us even as you send us away with blessings to serve Christ with the
members and community of Decatur First United Methodist Church.

Incoming Senior Pastor Bio
Mike Ratliff
For over 30 years I served as an ordained minister in The North Alabama Conference. After graduating from
Shades Valley High School in 1972, I attended The University of Montevallo and graduated with a degree in
Music Education. Obtained a Master of Divinity from Emory University, Candler School of Theology.
I served on the Board of Superannuate Homes for the North Alabama Conference and have served as chairperson of the District Board of Location and Building for the Mountain Lakes District. Over the years, have
served through UMVIM and SIFAT (Servants in Faith and Technology). Mission work has been through
local, domestic and international opportunities.
While serving in Marshall County, I assisted in the formulation of VOAD (Voluntary Organizations Assisting in Disasters) through the EMA of Marshall County.
I enjoy helping others through different types of ministerial opportunities; missions, music, and SCUBA
Diving. SCUBA is a passion, helping people become more aware of the marine environment.
I am married to Brenda (Bee) McDonald Ratliff. We have been married for 39 years. Brenda is a retired Registered Nurse and has served in a number of areas over the years including Pediatric nursing and Surgical
nursing.
We have two children, James Michael, and Anna Kristine. We have three grandchildren; Murphy Preston
Thomas, Brady Rose Thomas and Zita Pearl Thomas.
Cheers and God’s Blessings to You All
Chris Klaus, Minister of Music and Worship
Nearly eight years ago, I entered the doors of Latham UMC a young man
with minimal ministry experience and a heart for service. The SPR Committee lead by Gerald Smith worked tirelessly throughout
the months prior trying to find a good fit for what was perhaps a difficult
mission. To my great joy, the church leadership decided to take a
chance on me when they made the decision to go with someone who was
less “about the job” and more “about the mission.”
I remember vividly the moment I received that phone call with the offer
to serve in full time ministry. Without hesitation I accepted and began following God’s will for my life. During my time serving
Latham, this congregation has been gracious in times of
need; encouraging during times of triumph; supportive of exploring ways
to worship; and all the while, steadfast in leading and guiding me toward
better paths of leadership and excellence. You provided childcare and a
warm and loving environment for my daughters to grow in Christ’s
love. I have learned so much from my time here and will always cherish the wonderful moments of worship
and song as, together, we lifted our voices in praise.
Now, it is with great sadness and with much prayerful consideration that I must inform you of my final season
serving as Minister of Music and Worship at Latham. I have accepted a position of worship leadership at Destin UMC and will report June 1. I would like to thank each of you for the outpouring of love and support
shown to my family and me during the past eight years. Please pray for our church leaders that they may find
a suitable replacement in a timely manner and that the transition may be as smooth as possible. As you know,
Latham will be undergoing some major changes in the months ahead. Please be open to these changes as God
moves in our lives and in our community. When we let Him have control, amazing things take place!

Financial Committee Report April 2015
Marty Martin, Chairman
2015 Operating Budget The Finance Committee continues to monitor the operating budget. So far, income and expenses are
tracking within acceptable bounds.
The SPR Committee recently discovered that due to an administrative error we have been paying our
Associate Pastor at a lower rate than the salary approved by the Charge Conference for 2013 and
2014. We have corrected this error and provided our Associate Pastor with back pay for this
timeframe. Unfortunately, the discrepancy in the Associate Pastor’s salary was not discovered until
after SPR had allocated pay raises for 2015 to the staff. In order to provide an equitable pay raise for
the Associate Pastor the Board of Stewards approved an increase in the SPR budget line to cover the
pay increase.
Financial Procedures Manual The Finance Committee has updated the Financial Procedures Manual to remove references to rental
income and update financial procedures. These procedures apply to our staff, ministry teams, committees, Treasurer, Assistant Treasurer, and others. An electronic copy of the manual has been provided to
all of these stakeholders.
A copy of the Financial Procedures Manual is also available to all members of the church upon request. If
you would like a copy, please contact Marty Martin, Chairman of the Finance Committee
([email protected]), or Anita Banks, the Latham Business Administrator ([email protected]).
Hard copies are also available.
The Financial Procedures Manual is a living document so if you see anything that you feel needs to be corrected there is a procedure for that. Just contact the Business Administrator or the Chairman of the
Finance Committee and present your concerns over errors, omissions, or areas that need to be changed
or corrected. The Finance Committee will review all suggested changes and take action as appropriate.
We will also provide feedback to inform you of the action taken on your concern.
Cash Flow Analysis The Finance Committee has completed a Cash Flow analysis of the 2012, 2013 and 2014 budgets. The
Finance Committee is reviewing the Cash Flow Analysis to determine better ways to manage our
finances so that we balance expenditures with income whenever possible. Historically, Latham has
some months in which expenses exceed income and some months in which income exceeds expenses.
Our goal is to even out our cash flow so that we don’t have these monthly swings between feast and
famine.
The Finance Committee is also seeking a way to better portray our financial status to the church membership. Currently, our church bulletin includes an “Attendance & Offering Report” for the previous
week. Information is provided on the offering to date, operating expenses to date, and our budgeted
income to date. The problem is that you can’t tell from the information given if we are in good shape
or if we are in bad shape because the information doesn’t show what expenses are coming up in the
next weeks or months. And while our finances may look good today, we know that during the summer
months giving drops off while our expenses continue and in many cases increase. So, we are looking
for a better way to show a picture of how we are doing financially. Any ideas on how to better portray
our financial status are welcome.

Student Ministry
Adam Miller, Youth Minister
I would like to share a couple of topics that we in the Student Ministry at Latham UMC discussed in our April
Parent’s meeting so that the general congregation can know where the Student Ministry is and where we are
going.
Snack Supper- Snack supper is a great ministry that our church has been offering for a long time that a lot of
people have put tremendous time and effort into. I have been in conversations with several people since I have
been here in regards to what we should do to help snack supper be better and how to motivate more people to
help out with it. On this journey there were three choices that could have been made 1. The first was to completely do away with snack supper and let students know they needed to eat before they got to youth group. 2.
The second was to continue to do snack supper the way it has always been done. 3. The third was to start
charging a small amount of money for each student to eat snack supper that would either go into a pot for future snack suppers or to go to the person that brought the snack supper that week. Our leadership team thought
and talked through the pros and cons of each of these choices and made a decision. Our decision is to start
charging $2 a person for snack supper and the money made will go to reimburse the parents or volunteers that
brought the meal that week. We believe that this will be the best decision because we believe that snack supper
is important both as a time of fellowship and feeding the nutritional needs of our students. Also this decision
was made because we have seen an average cost of $40-$60 a meal and we do not want finances to be a reason
people do not volunteer to bring the supper. If a student cannot afford the $2 or forgets to bring it they can
speak with me and we will make sure they are still able to eat. We will start this new way of having snack supper on the first Sunday in May which is May 3. Along with this Sam Lasseter has been the organizer of snack
supper since last year but has been doing out of necessity and not out of it being a passion for him. We have
discussed it and have decided that his time and gifts would be better suited in preparation for small groups and
Sunday School. With this transition we will need someone to step up to be our snack supper organizer and
leader. I would like to have someone in place for this position by May 3 so that we have a whole new functioning set up when we start our new Snack Supper style. If you believe that organization and volunteer recruiting
is something you are gifted for and God is leading you to do it please let me know so that we can discuss what
all goes into this position. I believe God is leading someone to step up as Sam moves into a different role in
youth ministry here at Latham UMC.
My Philosophy and Direction of the Youth Group- I would like to also share my vision and philosophy of
ministry with all of you and the direction I see God leading us through the end of this year. My vision for the
youth group here at Latham UMC is to see it become a spiritually lead group of students who are devoted to
becoming disciples of Christ who seek to build up the family of God and to bring the Kingdom of God to
earth. My philosophy of how to do this is to have a very intentional and relational atmosphere in our ministry.
I believe that student and people in general don’t care what you know until they know that you care. I want
each and every student that comes to our youth group to know that they are cared for and that they are welcomed in this place. That starts first with me and how I treat them and then extends to our leadership team and
our students. Each and every member of our youth group has a role to play in creating this atmosphere. I will
try to teach them how to do this by leading by example and through the lessons that I give in youth group. As
far as our lessons series go, right now I am going through the prayers of Jesus Christ that we have quoted in
the gospels and what we can learn from them. After this series I will go through a series on the theology of
John Wesley and how that has shaped how we do ministry in the United Methodist Church in preparation for
our mission trip. During the summer I will take a light series to give our students a break and to build our community in the youth group. And Finally during the fall I will have one overarching topic for four months that I
Page 7
will look at from different sides each month. I believe that this kind of teaching side gives our students time to
think through the overarching topic for a while and then take a deeper look of each side of the topic.
Also I want to share with you a few events we in the Student
Ministry have coming up in May and June.
First with Mother’s Day being the 10th of May we are going to
cancel Youth Group on that day. I am doing this so that our students can spend time with their mothers on this very important
day. I like to give families as many chances as possible to build
those strong connections that are important during the teenage
years.
Second, on the 17th of May we are very excited to be hosting our
Annual Senior Recognition Service during The Orchard Service.
We have two members of Latham UMC graduating with year,
James Brahm and Erica Lewis. Along with the Senior Recognition
Service we will be hosting the graduates and their families to a
Senior Luncheon and also will be giving them a graduation gift
from the church.
Lastly, in June we will be having a
Youth Lock-In at Shakalaka. This
will be held on June 12-13 from
8:00pm-7:30am. We will meet at the
church at 8:00pm and then head to
Shakalaka at 11:30pm. We will stay
at Shakalaka until 7:00am before
driving back for students to be picked
up at 7:30am. While we are there the
Shakalaka staff will leading us in
events and games designed specifically for overnight parties like ours. I
hope that you and your students will
invite other students to come and go
with us to this exciting event. The
price is only $25 a student and we
will be providing food and drinks for
the students. Please let Adam know if
you are wanting to go so he can get
you signed up.

Traci Harris, Director
What a fabulous time of year! We have been busy little bees
as we've welcomed the wonderful spring weather, bright colors, and new life.
Curious eyes have been observing caterpillars turning into
chrysalides and then butterflies. We enjoyed a butterfly release party in the courtyard as we waved good-bye to our fluttering friends. We are also watching an ant farm in Ms. Tedi's
Enrichment classroom and are excited to see these smart insects work together to create their home. We even have two
spunky dwarf frogs named PB and J in Ms. Traci's office for
all to enjoy.
We celebrated the "Week of the Young Child" complete with
Music Monday, Tasty Tuesday, Work Together Wednesday,
Artsy Thursday and Fun Friday.
Each day was filled with special activities, food, games, dress
up days, and crafts. Generous hearts of LUMCDC families
and friends raised $1315 to benefit St Jude Children's Hospital during our annual Trike-A-Thon. It was a great week of fun, exploring, and learning for all. The staff and
families helped make this an extra special week!
Our annual Family BBQ & Spring Program was a
huge success! Many LUMCDC families, staff and
friends joined together for food, fun, and entertainment.
The children did a wonderful job performing through song,
movement, sign language and even Spanish! We presented
our 4 year olds with a special certificate since they will be off
to Kindergarten soon! Appreciation goes out to the members
of the LUMCDC Board for their hand in making this event a
success.
May 20th will be the last day of attendance for our Half Day
Preschool friends for this school year. Registration continues
for the 2015-2016 school year. We currently have openings
in our 2, 3 and 4 year old classes so if you know anyone who
needs a great Preschool program send them our way. On
June 2nd our 6 week Summer Camp will begin for children
ages 2-2nd grade. This year's theme "Superheroes of the Bible" will prove to be a great time for all. Spaces
are available for new friends to join us this summer. LUMCDC is the place to be!
