Leaving a Legacy
Do you have a will? Is Ormond Beach Presbyterian Church part of your will? When you put the church in
your will you are making a statement of faith. It is an expression of your love for the Lord and your appreciation for the way this church helped you walk the walk of faith in your lifetime. It is also an expression of
hope in the future that long after you are gone this church will continue to reach out and share the good
news of Jesus Christ with new disciples that will sit in the very same pew where you once sat.
The following story illustrates the importance of putting the church in your will as a statement of faith in the
Lord and your hope for the future.
One day an old man went out and planted a fig tree. Neighbors laughed at him for being such a fool.
You’re a fool they said – what are you doing planting a fig tree in your old age that you will never live
to enjoy its fruit. With a smile and a polite nod he said, I did not plant it for my own enjoyment. I
planted it for the many generations of people who will come after me and will sit beneath this fig
tree and enjoy its fruit. And perhaps they will wonder about the person who planted this tree so
long ago and maybe they will even offer up a prayer of thanks.
Ormond Beach Presbyterian Church has been blessed because of several members who wanted to leave a
legacy that would go on supporting this ministry after they were gone from our sight. Among the Endowments that continue to support Ormond Beach Presbyterian Church’s ministry are: Logan Flower Fund,
Logan Christmas Fund, Kurz Music Memorial, Langston Lecture Fund, Dittbenner Children’s Fund, Akers Endowment Fund, Honoring our Promises Endowment Fund, Bruce and Dorothy Haddad Scholarship Fund,
Francis and Mary Potter Memorial.
The Presbyterian Foundation has published a helpful resource entitled, Guide to a Christian Will. This guide
explains the many different options that are available for members who want to leave a lasting legacy. We
have other helpful guides from the Presbyterian Foundation that explain planned giving and Legacy giving
options. These are available in the church office.
If you have questions about how the church handles and administers estate bequests please talk with our
church treasurer, Rudy Habermann who will be happy to answer your questions.
ACTS 16:5 REWIND
“So the churches were strengthened in the faith
and grew daily in numbers.” Acts 16:5
The ship has long been a symbol of the church -- the sanctuary as an inverted hull of a ship holding
the people of God. One ship-related image of the church that I find useful for imagining how the
congregation launches new ministries is that of an aircraft carrier. An aircraft carrier has one significant purpose: to serve as a platform from which to care for, fuel, and launch airplanes sent on
various missions. In a sense, a congregation is just such a platform for the people of God, caring for
us, “fueling” us and sending us to serve. As a platform for disciple-growing ministry, the congregation
is also like an aircraft carrier in that it serves as the launch pad for small groups, discipleship
communities, and other ministries.
© 2012 E. Stanley Ott: The Vital Churches Institute
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son
and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I
am with you always, to the end of the age” (Matt.28:19-20).
Transferred with regret William Lawrence to Winter Park PC, Winter Park FL where he now resides.
Allotted 10% of a recent bequest ($5,900) to the Mission Tithe Fund.
Scheduled the film “The Mission” for 7:00 pm on 4/17 as an Amsden Academy event. Discussion will
follow. Expenses will be met by the Christian Ed. Committee budget.
Called a congregational meeting for 4/12 immediately after worship. The purposes are to elect Elders and
deacons and to hear an up-date form the Associate Pastor Nominating Committee.
Approved the purchase of a commercial grade stairway ladder to provide attic access in the hall behind the
sanctuary at a cost of $2,337 payable from budget line item 300.22 PBPC will see to its installation.

MISSION MINISTRY
THANK YOU FOR DONATING TO THE FOOD DRIVE these troubled times, people are hurting. Many
children and families who a few months ago felt like they were doing OK hang on by threads today, and those
who were already at risk face even greater hardships. I have always been amazed by the generosity of the
Ormond Presbyterian Church. Pastor Foley and John Moseley To benefit Halifax Urban Ministries Ormond each
our local food bank. The outpouring of support was phenomenal. On February 16, 2015 an excess of 6,500
pounds of food was donated. What a wonderful Church. On behalf of the Halifax Urban Ministries I would like to
thank all who took the time to donate food in these challenging times.
H.U.M been helping children and families, and we believe that now is not the time to stop. It's not the time to
retreat from responsibility and compassion. Now is the time to lead and to offer people an opportunity to help
others. We believe that now, more than ever, we need to invite and encourage people to join us and be part of
a global service organization where one person -YOU - can make a difference.
We need your hands and your hearts to help those who cannot always help themselves. The more hands, the
more children and towns we may help. Through Halifax Urban Ministries, we work to
change the world for the better, one child, and one town at a time. Once again, thank you for your generosity;
People like you make H.U.M a great place.
Veetina Malone Supervisor / Halifax Urban Ministries Ormond Beach/People Matter to God!

“Peace Starts with a Smile”
We are blessed by having "Snow Birds" join with us each year. We have been especially
blessed by having Ellen Smith from Pennsylvania, who comes, shares ideas and participates
in our projects, particularly the mats ministry. She finished a mat and also brought with her
three beautiful prayer shawls. We appreciate Ellen and her participation very much and
wish for her a happy summer and a return to us in the fall. Ellen went with Jewel
Johnston to introduce the mat craft to ladies of Tomoka Christian Church. They are doing
great with the project, and we will be supplying them with "plarn" which they will make
into mats.
"Make and Take" meals made by the Deacons is an on-going project. We try to know
who might like a meal, but you might help keep us informed us by calling the church. We
love making the meals and sending them to you; it's another way of saying God loves you!
We try to keep them interesting, heart smart and tasty.
The Holiday Fair committees are just getting under way. If you sew, quilt or craft,
there will be a meeting on April 20 in Haddad Fellowship Hall at 2 p.m. We have lots of
fabric! All are welcome!
Wednesday, April 15th at 7:00 PM.

today. Please come join us, call the church office to sign up or look for the insert in the Sunday
bulletin.

provide popcorn and bottled water. Grab a friend and join us; call the church office to sign up or
look for the insert in the Sunday bulletin.
OBPC PROPERTY COMMITTEE
You may have noticed on a few doors, upon exiting, a note asking “Is the door locked”? The reminder is
placed to insure when you leave to check the door and make sure it is locked.
We appreciate your attention to this.
Spring season (and ants) is upon us and would appreciate keeping all rooms free from food crumbs left on
tables and coffee rings and spills. We do not mind food and beverages brought in, but please be sure to
clean up . Tables should be wiped down and all food crumbs and coffee cups and empty water bottles into
the baskets provided. We all appreciate a clean area, and keeping it that way is appreciated.
WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED WITH OPENING & CLOSING ON SUNDAYS? If so, please contact Ken Hinkle for
more information at 677—7564.
Ormond Beach Presbyterian Church was the recipient of a bequest from
the Jeanette A. Rounds from a revocable trust. She left approximately
10% of the trust to each of the members of her family; her nine nieces
and nephews and her OBPC family. She carried her tithing to the very
end through her trust.
I wonder if sometimes we fail to recognize or forget the special relationships we form with one another as we gather as brothers and sisters in
the worship of Christ. What a loving, caring congregation to each other
are the members of OBPC. May we remember this as we celebrate the
life of Jeanette Rounds.
