The weather could not have been better for romping on the church grounds! Page 2 In generous support of our church, the Bishop has offered FBSUMC the appointment of two associate pastors for 2014 - each uniquely skilled in helping us achieve our specific mission and vision. CLC is excited that God has brought these gifted individuals to our church as we continue to “love God, grow together, and reach out.” Amanda Dean Reverend Amanda Dean grew up in Kingsport, attending city schools and graduating from DobynsBennett High School in 1997. Amanda was raised in the United Methodist Church and was actively involved in leadership roles from a very early age. In college, Amanda discerned a call to ministry while active in the East Tennessee State University (ETSU) Wesley Foundation. It was through her experience with mission trips with Wesley that Amanda discovered a passion for service. After graduation from ETSU, Amanda served as a missionary with Bahamas Methodist Habitat, worked in the southeast jurisdictional office of United Methodist Volunteers in Mission, and was the Director of Youth and Young Adult Ministries at a large church in Chattanooga. She was accepted to the Master of Divinity Program at Duke University in 2007. While at Duke, Amanda balanced academic demands with her call to be actively engaged in ministry, serving in several different field education placements and leadership positions. Amanda graduated from Duke Divinity in 2010, was ordained as an Elder in 2012, and has served as the Campus Minister and Executive Director of Wesley Campus Ministry at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill for the past four years. She has a heart for serving God by serving others. Amanda loves cooking, traveling, Duke basketball, and her fiancé, Justin Steinmann. Justin and Amanda will be married on May 24 at First Broad Street UMC (a decision they made last August!). Justin will begin work as a principal planner for the City of Kingsport Planning Department on May 5. They are looking forward to becoming a part of the First Broad Street UMC community as they begin their life together. Harrison J. Bell and wife, Chelsea Harrison is so excited to be returning home to East Tennessee to serve the community of First Broad Street UMC. Born and raised in Kingsport and Church Hill, there is no other place that Harrison would rather be while serving God. He has served extensively in ministry throughout the greater Kingsport area for many years, first as Director of Children’s Ministries at Mountain View UMC, then as interim pastor of Clouds Bend UMC, and finally as pastor of Mount Carmel UMC from 2009 until 2012. Upon Harrison’s appointment to Mount Carmel, he was the youngest licensed United Methodist pastor in the Holston Conference. He is a graduate of both Northeast State Community College (A.S.), East Tennessee State University (B.S.), and is currently finishing a Master of Divinity at Asbury Theological Seminary. Harrison’s professional interests reside in the areas of contextual preaching, strategic implementation, and mentor development. He loves missions, local and global, and has worked alongside of First Broad Street on numerous mission trips throughout the past several years. Harrison and his wife, Chelsea, are preparing to celebrate two years of marriage on June 23. Chelsea is also a graduate of East Tennessee State University and has a passion for leading people in worship and all things “crafts.” Together, you will find them cooking, watching movies, playing board games, and spending time with family.

The memory verse for the rotation is: “…there is more happiness in heaven over one sinner who turns to God than over ninety-nine good people who don’t need to.” (Luke 15:7) The fact that Jesus loves us no matter where we go or what we do will be reinforced.

Page 4 Missions Is a Lifestyle, Not an Event Food Ministry Celebration Cathy Kilgore, coordinator of the Food Ministry here at First Broad Street, recently purchased over one hundred cases of cereal from Second Harvest Food Bank. Each case contained ten boxes of cereal and cost just over two dollars per case. We celebrate this opportunity to obtain this cereal to have available for those who come in weekly needing assistance with food. We thank the congregation for providing resources to take advantage of this opportunity, and we encourage you to remember the “Bring One” items listed weekly in the worship folder, FBS Happenings, and the monthly newsletter as you shop for your families.

Carmel UMC mission team spent a week in Sneedville working with Jubilee Project to repair two mobile homes and prepare the Rescue Squad building to house work teams this summer. Led by Bill Campbell and Cloyd Clipse, the team consisted of adults and children. Plans are underway to return to Sneedville in September. Please watch for information in the near future. Nurturing God’s Children At 1:15 this afternoon, a Kingsport City School bus arrived at the Child Care Center, and two precious little boys hopped off, all excited about their day at the Palmer Center, and thinking ahead to what will happen this afternoon in their preschool classroom. Both of these children have special needs and attend a developmental preschool class at the Palmer Center during the school year. They spend their afternoons and summers with us at the Child Care Center. We have had this connection with Kingsport City Schools for many years, and it has been a wonderful partnership. There seems to be an ever-increasing number of young children who experience delays in their developmental progress. Our challenge at the Child Care Center is to help all children prepare for kindergarten. This process actually starts when children enter our nursery and continues throughout the preschool years. Not only is our curriculum a “stepping stone” from one age group to the next, but it is a Cokesbury curriculum that introduces children to Christ at an early age. For some children, this is the only “church” they get, and we take that responsibility very seriously. We strive daily to provide social, intellectual, spiritual, and physical guidance for all children. Children who have additional challenges are a part of our daily world at the Center. There are several children with situations that call for special intervention - extensive food allergies, Autism, speech and language issues, and other developmental delays. The teachers at the Child Care Center do a wonderful job providing the extra nurturing and enhancement needed to help all children be as successful as possible. In many cases, outside professionals visit children in our building to provide Speech, Occupational, and Physical therapies. These folks become a part of our “family” and are great additions to the resource team. We are so excited to have the opportunity to work with all children and families! The Child Care Center has been in operation since the mid 1940’s and has made the difference to so many children in those years! We look forward to a rewarding and successful future! --Karen Baker Bring One Items Weekly Bring One items for May will be as follows: May 4 Cash/checks for communion baskets May 11 Spaghetti sauce and noodles May 18 Canned corn, green beans, peas and fruit May 25 Canned meats such as SPAM, ham, or tuna Page 5 Exciting Summer of Missions Just Around The Corner A summer filled with mission opportunities is about to unfold, beginning with the annual High School Mission Trip to Johns Island, May 31st through June 7th. Approximately fifty-five youth and forty adults will travel to Johns Island to join Rural Mission Inc. in housing rehab and construction, this being the thirty third consecutive year the youth group from First Broad Street has participated in mission on the Sea Islands. The High School group, “Project Rise”, will travel to Costa Rica on June 18th and return on June 25th. Working with Steve Semlar, a missionary supported by First Broad Street, the team will be repairing homes and working with a homeless ministry in San Jose. This team of seventeen includes eleven high school students, two college leaders, and four adult leaders. Co-leading this mission opportunity with Susie Pedersen is Micah LaRoche from Wadmalaw Island who has been heavily involved with our congregation in mission trips, and who also spends a month each year in Costa Rica, enabling him to be a great resource for the team. While the team is in Costa Rica, we will host a mission team here in Kingsport to assist with home repairs in our own community. This will be an opportunity to partner with the City of Kingsport and local volunteers in a week of rehabbing homes and joining together in fellowship. The team, in Kingsport from June 21st to June 28th, will be from Rockville Presbyterian Church on Wadmalaw Island and St. Johns Parrish on Johns Island. Both of these congregations are essential to our Johns Island Team, Rockville providing a meal and volunteers and St. Johns housing our High School team. We are excited to have them joining us in mission here in Kingsport. Before June turns into July, another team from First Broad Street will depart for Estonia, leaving on June 20th and returning on July 7th. This team of twenty-one adults and one youth will work at Camp Gideon and also be able to take in the annual Music Festival in Tallin, Estonia. This will be an excellent time to reunite with our brothers and sisters in Estonia and see the church continue to grow and flourish in a place oppressed for so long. Finally, the Middle School youth will return to Saltville, Virginia, July 6th through 11th to work with Project Crossroads in rehabbing homes in rural Southwest Virginia. The Middle School youth typically install vinyl siding on a house selected by Project Crossroads, providing a family with a warm, dry, and attractive home for years to come. The youth and adults participating enjoy a week filled with learning and sharing, recreation, and spiritual fellowship. Please join us in prayer for all of these teams, the opportunities to transform through their time and service, and the experiences they will have in their journey. Watch the monthly newsletter, worship folders, screens, and website for updates and announcements. We want to thank the congregation as well as all who have invested resources and time in years past for making these opportunities available to so many. We look forward to sharing the stories of how you have truly transformed the world in the name of Jesus Christ through your commitment to missions and support of each one of us! Page 6 “Hospitality Tips” Nancy Olson serves in the Welcome Center as a “runner.” I asked her to share a recent experience with welcoming a guest with Christian hospitality…and the response she received. Assisting visitors is so very important to make them feel welcome. Recently, while I was serving in the Welcome Center, a visitor who had been coming to the 8:30 service stopped by the Welcome Center. That Sunday she brought her granddaughter to participate in Sunday School. I took her to the children's wing and let someone there assist her with Checkpoint. Also, I mentioned the Teammates Sunday School class since it was close to the children's area. She was interested but wanted to make sure her granddaughter was happy. I gave her directions to the class and then met her when she arrived. Several members welcomed her, and we provided information on the lesson. She indicated she enjoyed the class. CHANGE UP! July 4th Red, White & Boom! Road Race • • • NEW TIME SCHEDULE MORE FUN MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO SERVE We will partner again with Fleet Feet Sports in hosting the annual July 4th road race. This year the race will begin at 8:00 A.M. leaving from our church parking lot…with a different course taking runners down Broad St…left on Center St…all the way to Mafair UMC where runners will make a u-turn and return to the church…AND where we will treat them to a Pancake Breakfast…mark your calendar…more details to follow! When the Teammates weekly email came out, I requested that her name be added to the list and also forwarded the email to her. She responded with the following: "Thank you, Nancy. I am so happy to have met such a caring person. Thank you for your kindness." This shows how important it is to recognize and help visitors. She indicated she would be back and hopefully bring the rest of her family. --Nancy Olson An A+ Way to Reach Out to the Academic Village It’s not too late to help with a baked good for Exam Week at the Academic Village downtown. Contact Nancy Tate @ 423-224-1507 or [email protected] if you would like to help the week of May 5-10. Special needs parking spaces are available on Sundays and Wednesday evenings for seniors (or others) with mobility issues who do not have a handicapped sticker; pregnant women, single parents with small children, and those with short term needs, i.e. recent surgical or rehabilitation patients. The Shuttle Bus is available at the 10:45 service to transport worshipers from the outlying lots. Thank you so much for following these guidelines. Page 7 Growing through GROW Ministries at First Broad Street UMC Thanks to everyone who came by the GROW Ministries booth at the Ministry Fair, and a special thank you to those whose spiritual gifts of teaching, discernment, prayer, faith, and wisdom are being used in fulfillment of God’s reign on earth and at First Broad Street UMC. The GROW Ministries at First Broad Street seeks to equip the people of God for kingdom living. Through informational and formational experiences and opportunities, staff and servant leaders (aka volunteers, but so much more) strive to create a Spirit-filled framework where God’s transformational work can occur. We seek to cooperate with God’s Spirit in forming disciples of Jesus Christ, and equipping all disciples to continue the work of Christ in the world. We recognize that children are special people at FBSUMC. In our Children’s Ministry, we endeavor to cooperate with parents in bringing up each child in the love and nurture of God. Early experiences of church and of loving, faithful adult care-givers and leaders are very important to a child’s faith development. We want to support and encourage parents as they provide spiritual nurture for their children in these formative years. Youth at First Broad Street continue their faith journey through Bible study, service and worship, surrounded by mature and loving adults who urge them onto making Christ the Lord of their lives and to live faithfully as “salt” at home, school, church and community. Parents continue to play a role in their children’s faith development, and we hope to provide resources to them that will aid these relationships. For Adults, young and older, GROW Ministries assist people to connect to one another through small groups, Sunday schools, prayer groups, and fellowship times. Resources for continued growth are available, as well as opportunities to work together, provide care for one another and lifelong engagement with the Spirit. At each age there is spiritual “work” that is important for that age; from an infant learning to trust, to an older person’s work of legacy and wisdom. GROW Ministries is a part of the larger church, enabling God’s people to fulfill the call to discipleship through “Loving God, Growing Together, Reaching Out.” Thank you to each one who is a part of this ministry, as leader or as participant. May we be like strong trees, nurtured by God’s Holy Spirit. --Margaret Deans, Minister of Christian Formation Save the Dates for the Church Retreat at Bonclarken Join us for the Church Retreat at Bonclarken with Ed Kilbourne, sponsored by the Prayer Focus Team and Retreat Committee, from September 12 -14.

Page 10 Lost Dog My friend’s little dog got lost last week. Lucky somehow walked out the front door while it was ajar for a few minutes. Trouble is this doggy is old, blind and deaf. His owners searched all day. They enlisted friends and neighbors to look for him. After hours, darkness descended and no dog. My friend sat sadly in her chair, praying and trying to figure out what to do when she heard a distant bark. She excitedly called her husband and he went back out, following the faint bark. The dog had found his way out into a nearby horse pasture. His owner gladly picked him up where Lucky stood by the guardian horse, a little damp but no worse for the wear. This small drama touches our hearts because we all know the sharp pain of losing a precious thing or a precious pet. In Luke 15, we are reminded of how God searches for us when we are lost. He goes after that one sheep, scours the house for the lost coin, and hails the prodigal by running toward him with open arms. The safety of the Lord’s arms beckon to us, but often we resist. We wander around, blind and deaf in the dark world, looking for something that satisfies when the true home that we seek is open to us all along. As we journey forward as Easter people, let us embrace the Christ that longs for us. Let us also pray fervently for those who continue to wander, that they might be able to accept the sheltering arms offered to them. Baby Hats for Mother’s Day month of May. Marcia Lin, coordinator of Stitch and Pray, is heading up an initiative to provide baby hats for all the babies delivered at Holston Valley in the “I would like each hat to be in a separate sandwich size zippy bag with a piece of paper with your first name on inside the baggy. I will make little cards, wishing the baby all the blessings of God's love. By including your name, it will make it more personal and tangible for the family. I will put my white mesh basket downstairs (near basement copy machine) to collect the hats as you complete them. The last time we did this, Holston Valley told me that they deliver about 90 babies each month. I hope to be able to take 100 hats over to help these new mothers celebrate Mother's Day. Calling all Caring Callers “What a delightful conversation I had with my Caring Call recipient today,” one of our callers said to me today. “She said she really appreciated the call.” We need more folks who are willing to commit to being short term Caring Callers: contacting the recipient once every couple of weeks to see how things are going and to get a progress report. Sometimes because of mobility issues or long term treatments, people are unable to attend congregational worship and miss that frequent contact with their church family. Caring Callers let them know they are not forgotten and help to provide a listening ear and a measure of compassion. Mini Make Overs Debbie Mykytka felt a tug on her heart to start a specialhands on ministry to help women apply make-up. She is doing this as part of Halo Haircuts outreach on their regularly scheduled days. Debbie’s desire is to help each woman feel special and to let them know they are beautiful in God’s eyes. She is accepting donations of unopened make-up. Blood Drive Tony Valk gave blood on a regular basis. In fact, he was a 5 gallon donor. When illness struck, he became a recipient of this life-giving substance. Now he challenges all of us to step up and give at our church’s next blood drive. If you are healthy, weigh more than 110 lbs, are older than 17, then you can give. Remember, there are lots of people who are unable to donate because of past medical history, chronic illnesses, etc. You might be surprised at how few people actually meet the requirements. So if you can, please give. Giving blood is a small pain for a lot of gain. Contact Joy Eastridge with ?s. April 30, 3-7 p.m. FBSUMC parking lot In Honor of Tony Valk We will also offer an opportunity for participants to sign up to be on the bone marrow donor registry.

Jane Schulz discussion leader Children Add Warmth At Critical Time The children of First Broad Street recently delivered firewood to a family in Kingsport and it just happened to coincide with a sudden cold spell that saw temperatures plummet for w few days. What a blessing it was to know that this family would be warm, both from the cold and also from the love and generosity delivered by the children. As a departing prayer was said by one of the children, thanking God for the ability to get the wood to the family, tears of joy and celebration began to fall on the soil where the living Christ was present in so many ways. First Broad Street, thank you for continuing to support the ministries that bring Christ and compassion to so many in their time of need, and enable us all to be disciples of the one who sought to bring comfort to all! May God bless these children as they continue in their journey of discipleship and growth!
