Living For Christ
Bluffton United Methodist Church
A “Stephen Ministry” Church
Volume 11, Issue 2
FEBRUARY 2015
This past Sunday was United Methodist
Women’s Day. “Brava” to the women! The
service had a really sweet spirit to it. I
appreciate those who volunteered to lead
Worship. I also want to pass along that many wonderful
comments were spoken to me about our guest preacher,
Rev. Candice Sloan.
I would also like to pass along a word to ALL of the
women of the church. “Thank you” for everything y’all do.
I have long said that God can do anything he wants to do,
but humanly speaking, without the women of the church,
we would have had to close the doors a long time ago.
THANK YOU!!!!
Your pastor, Joey
BETTER THAN PLANNED
Interruptions are nothing new. Rarely
does a day go by as we’ve planned it. Life is filled with
inconveniences. The list is long and constantly changing:
illness, conflict, rudeness, laziness, incompetence. What
we can’t see, however, is the other side of inconvenience.
We think it doesn’t have any purpose other than to
discourage us and make life more difficult for us.
But inconvenience could be God’s way of protecting us
from something dangerous, or it could be an opportunity
for us to experience God’s grace or forgiveness in our
lives. Or it could be a test to see how we respond to
adversity. Whatever it is, even though we may not know
God’s reason, we can be assured that his motive is to
make us more like Jesus and to further his kingdom on
earth.
CHANGE IN TIME OF EARLY WORSHIP
SERVICE – It was voted at the last
Church Council meeting that the early

If you or someone you know is facing a difficult time,
Stephen Ministers are available at BUMC to confidentially
listen to and encourage you, and remind you of Jesus’
presence in your life. Please contact our Stephen leader:
Sara Jenkins, 705-2172.

MISSIONS
The Mission team has arranged to
collect used eyeglasses and hearing
aids for the Lion's Club.
We can collect lenses, frames (broken frames are okay),
reading glasses, and sunglasses, broken or working
hearing aids. The Lion's Club uses pieces to make new
ones which are given to children, elderly and those in
need. This will be an ongoing project, and there will be a
box in the Narthex to deposit these.
The Mission Team will meet on
February 19, 2015 at 7:00 PM. Our
chairwoman is Jenny Brannen. She
can be reached by email:
[email protected] or call 706-2289.
The January Miracle Jars for Kairos Prison Ministry
amounted to $445! As always, the Mission Team thanks
you for your generous support. Without you, the
congregation, we would be unable to reach
out and support all of the wonderful
organizations in our community.
We will be selling the
ever so delicious
Butter Braid Pastries
again and orders can
be placed from February 1 until March 15. This will allow
time for us to receive the orders for your pick up by Palm
Sunday. For those of you who had samples and ordered
last year, you know how easy they are to prepare and just
how flaky and yummy they are. If you are new to the
church, take our word for it, they will melt in your mouth.
Look for the order blanks in the bulletin each Sunday. The
proceeds will again go to Meals on Wheels. Last year we
raised $700 which bought approximately 120 meals.
Our Miracle Jars for February go to support
Family Promise. Their mission is to provide temporary
shelter, family stability and permanent housing solutions
for homeless families with children by mobilizing
community resources. Family Promise has an 80% success
rate graduating families into permanent housing and a
100% success rate at the end of one year. Our church is a
host church for Family Promise and we will be housing the
families the third week of March. I'm sure James Atkins
would appreciate any help you can offer. Please contact
him for further information.

year for us. Due to the construction, we will not be able to
have the ever so famous chili cook off this year, but that
will return in 2016.
Prayer Shawl Ministry/Crochet Lessons
Paula Kirkland will be available at
the church in the conference room
on Monday, February 16th and
Monday, February 23rd from 3:00 to

by at your leisure for individual crochet lessons.

those wanting to learn a simple prayer shawl pattern are
welcome. Materials will be provided. If you have
questions, please call Paula at 706-3644 or email

Time
MUSICAL GIFTS COME IN ALL SIZES
or 2
Time For 2 emerged when
sisters: Kearston, age 10, and
Kendall, age 8, performed
“Twinkle Little Star” before an
audience of family and friends at
the ages of 5 and 3. Since then,
they have expanded their
repertoire and perform as
featured artists for public,
private, philanthropic, academic
and political events. As a duo,
they have performed in South
Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, Texas,
Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Mexico, Hawaii and Lyon,
France.
Violinist, Kearston Gonzales, began her musical
education at the age of 3. She is the first place winner of
the 2013 Armstrong Atlantic Youth Orchestra (AAYO)
Concerto Competition, and the second place winner
(Elementary Div.) of the 2013 Music Academy of North
Carolina (MANC) Strings Competition. In November of
2013 Kearston made her orchestral debut in Savannah, GA,
and a few months later was invited to solo with the
Georgia Philharmonic in Atlanta, GA after being awarded
First Runner-up in the Samuel Fordis Concerto
Competition. In 2011, a YouTube video of Kearston inspired
children’s author Angela Winegar to write a bedtime story
featuring Kearston as the main character. “My Magic Violin
and Me” has since been published, and is now available for
all children to enjoy, inspiring them to find their own
instruments, practice and learn valuable life lessons along
the way.
Cellist, Kendall Gonzales, began her musical education
exactly one month before her 3rd birthday. She is the First
Place winner (Primary Div.) of the 2013 MANC Strings
Competition and the Second runner-up of the AAYO Jr.
Division Concerto Competition. Kendall will compete in
March 2015 at the Music Academy of North Carolina. Like
her sister, Kendall is the inspiration for a book entitled
“The Music Man’s Little Cellist”.
In their spare time, both girls enjoy reading, drawing,
traveling, and learning French and piano.
Many inspirational offerings will be
included in our worship services during February. On
Sunday, February 8 the Wesley Ringers will present
musical selections during both worship services. The
Wesley Ringers, under the direction of Karen Wyld,
rehearses each Monday evening from 7 – 8:30 PM. The
ensemble is open to teens and adults. Please take time to
read the open invitation below.
On Sunday, February 22 the Gonzales sisters will present
musical selections during both worship services. Kearston
studies violin with Dorothy Mauney and Kendall studies
cello with Susan Hines. Both girls also study duets with
Dorothy Mauney. Kearston and Kendall Gonzales are the
daughters of Tanika & Glenn Gonzales and reside on
Hilton Head Island. This will be their first visit to our
church, so please read the article below and welcome
them to our church.
The purpose of the BUMC Wesley
Ringers Handbell Choir is to praise
God through music, provide musical
support to other music ministry
ensembles,
provide
Christian
fellowship, and support one
another in a small group setting.
The Wesley Ringers is a small group opportunity
especially suited to those who enjoy praise and
expression through music.
We believe the ensemble is one of Christian fellowship,
supporting each other spiritually, emotionally, and
physically. As a part of the body of Christ, we are
committed to faithfully serving others whenever we are
called.
We extend an open invitation to teens and adults to join
in the fun of “ringing the bells” unto the Lord. The
ensemble participates monthly during worship services
and rehearses Monday evenings from 7:00-8:30 p.m. We
welcome all who will commit to rehearse weekly, be
eager to learn, and willing to share their talents as we
glorify God in worship and at special events.
For more information contact Karen Wyld, director, by
email at [email protected] (843) 707-7454.

For God’s glory only,
"Each one should use whatever gift he has received to
serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in
various forms...If anyone, serves, he should do it with the
strength God provides, so that in all things God may be
praised through Jesus Christ." 1 Peter 4:10-11

As a 5 Star Unit, the Bluffton
United Methodist church provides
a reading program to all UMW
members as well as all members of
our church. This program has been
in effect sent 2010 and a small
library exists in the Conference room of the church.
UNITED METHODIST WOMEN
Our new year started with
Officers Training at New Life UMC
in Walterboro. Walda Letson, Sarah Sweers, Elizabeth
Duncan, Paula Kremers, and Linda Waugh were able to
attend. While we were there, Sarah and I chose some
books for our reading program this year. Sarah will be
giving us information about these books all during the
year. Come by the conference room and pick out a book,
just sign your name to the card in the back of the book
and put it in the card box. You do not have to be a UMW
member to read the books. Just let Sarah Sweers,
[email protected], know you are interested and she
will get you started!
Our officers met to plan the UMW Day service. It was a
wonderful celebration of our women and all their work in
missions. Thanks to Candice Sloan for leaving Spartanburg
at 4:00 AM to be with us and deliver the message. I want
to thank all the women that took part in the service and
those who attended the service. We make a great team! If
you are not a member and would like to be a part of our
great
mission
team,
just
let
me
know.
([email protected]) I will help you pick the
circle that best fits your needs. Our theme this year is
“Welcomed by God Welcoming All”.
We also discussed Super Bowl Sunday. It’s time
consuming and hard work but leads to great fellowship
for our church members and all donations go to charities
to help the hungry.
Check out the bulletin in the back of the fellowship hall.
We have a new spotlight this month. It is Betty Snyder.
Also read the latest newsletter and thank you notes from
our missions.
Put these dates on your calendar for February:
Feb. 1

UMW President
Each month I will be highlighting one of the books in the
Library so that you will have a better understanding of
what is available.
10 new books were bought for the 2015 season. One of
those books is called “A Girl called Problem”. This story is
about a girl named Shilda which in Swahili means
“problem”. From a young age she has wanted to be a
healer and is working with a nurse that visits their village
occasionally. The village is very small and poor. The elders
are invited by a larger village to become part of their
village. This idea isn’t popular with all of the village
members, including Shilda’s mother who many believe is
a “witch”.
The move was made to the new village and the story
tells of the struggles, the deception of its own members
and how Shilda’s life improved by the move.
This is an excellent book and is considered an older
youth book but adults will also enjoy it.
To check this book out, or any book in our library, take
the index card out of the front of the book. Fill in the
requested information and place the index card in the
Green index card box located on the Shelf.
When you return the book take the card out of the
index card box and place it back in the front of the book.
Please take advantage of this book program and enjoy!
—Sarah Sweers

morning. The breakfast is great

See you there!

Are you asking “What’s new?” Well, as you can see…I have
my “bag” packed and I’m moving out!! This place is a BIG
mess!! There’s so much dust and…so much noise…hammering,
banging, shouting. It’s almost as if the “walls were coming
down”! If you don’t believe me…take a look at these photos!!
To the left is the hallway from the sanctuary to the
Fellowship Hall.
And…this is the “stage” in the
Fellowship Hall.
These guys
are looking
at the mess
they made!!
Impossible to walk from the
sanctuary to the Fellowship
Hall now!!
These guys are
getting ready to dig
so they can pour the
concrete footings
for the new walls.
Everyone
needs to wear
a “hard hat”.
And even with all the rain
those couple of days…they
were able to pour the
footings! So…a lot of
progress is being made!!
Hard to see the “digger”,
but it’s there with 3 men.
This is the new office. It’s
on Calhoun St. & Waters.
I hear there will be a lunch
served on Feb 1st in the room
to the left…It’s called
“Souperbowl”. Maybe I’ll stay
here until I can get some of
the crumbs that are dropped…
need to eat before taking my
In case you want to know
where I’ve been sleeping!
trip!  – Bye for now!!!
