Read & Rejoice
ear Partners in Ministry,
I enjoyed the movie Avatar from several years ago. One line from the movie
particularly intrigues me; in the burgeoning relationship of Sully and Neytiri, she
says, “I see you.” She sees, she knows she loves, she connects with this other. It is a powerful
thought to say “I see you.” First of all, it means seeing beyond ourselves, looking and engaging
with someone other than our own preoccupations to the needs and wants, to the core of another
person. Secondly, it is letting go of self-centeredness to become centered, or at least aware of
someone, something, else.
Seeing is what Jesus lived. In his teaching, his healing, his interactions, again and again
Jesus shows the way of seeing beyond ourselves. The amazing thing is,
Jesus sees others while not losing himself, he gives himself in love but
he does not give himself away. This is the ministry Jesus gives to us. He sees us, loves us,
knows us, and wants the most for us. He shows us the way, he teaches us the way, He is the
way, to see others, to connect with them, to connect with God.
May we each open our hearts to see, to offer ourselves in love, that together we may
meet the challenges, the opportunities for the ministry we share .
Shalom,
Pastor Peter LeValley
Share a special gift with our First Love, Christ’s Body, the Church for Valentine’s Day!
Thank you to all who offered kind expressions of love and support over the holiday season! Cards,
gifts and well wishes shared at this season of remembering our Savior’s birth brings warmth to our hearts
and a smile to our faces. The offering of yourselves is truly a gift to us!
Blessings! In the New Year!
Bonnie and Peter
Dear Friends on the Journey!
In addition to our thanks for your support during the past holiday season, I am mindful of the love
that is shown daily by your service to our church fellowship and ministries and to the surrounding community. Mother Teresa said, “It is not how much we do, but how much love we put into our
doing. It is not how much we give, but how much love we put in the giving.”
Let’s take this one more step; it is not how long we live but how much love we
put into our living. As we enter this season of Love and Lent, may we seek to put the love
of Christ into our living moment by moment, day by day. May we know God and may
others know God through the love we share.
Blessings!
Deacon Bonnie LeValley

STEWARDSHIP
Remembering those who have died this past year:
The term “first love” might conger up images of handmade Valentine’s cards and a cute little curly-haired classmate in grammar school. Maybe it brings to mind your first “serious” relationship when you were a teenager. Perhaps you recall someone
in college that you were convinced was “the one”. But who is
your REAL first love? The One Who loved you before you
could walk or talk. The One Who rejoices over your every victory, no matter how small. The One Who gives you inner
strength when your world is crashing down. The One Who gave
His life for you long before you were even born! This February
give your heart back to the One Who loved you first – the One
Who will never stop loving you. Rekindle. Recommit.
Reclaim that relationship.
Valentine’s Day seems like an ideal time to give a special gift to
that First Love. There are extra envelopes in the back of your
weekly offering booklets that are marked “special” and are designed to be used whenever you feel moved to make an additional offering. Please prayerfully consider doing so this month.
Maybe it will become a new Valentine’s Day tradition!

support in caring for the families that have experienced grief and sorrow over the past holidays. We have
known great loss in these past 3 months. Your support and encouragement helped ease the load. Working
together to offer the hand of Christ to those who are in grief, strengthens each of us to serve our God!

HERITAGE COLUMBARIUM
The Heritage Columbarium has been established here at KUMC to honor those who have faithfully participated and
supported the ministries of Kenmore United Methodist Church. Niches are available to members, preparatory members,
constituents, pastors, former pastors and their spouses of Kenmore United Methodist Church. The Columbarium is a place
of eternal rest within the serenity and beauty of our church building.
The following faithful members have been interred in the Heritage Columbarium this year: Cheryl DeGlopper, Pastor
Kathryn G. Hemstreet, Susan Owens, Anna Hazel, Lillian Hodgson, Clyde Spriegel, Robert Austin, and Lew Hazel.
A plaque, entitled “Remembering the Faithful”, has been placed in the Heritage Columbarium for those who have chosen
other places for the eternal rest of their physical remains. Persons or groups may honor those that would have met the criteria of being placed in the Columbarium but chose other places of burial by requesting an application and contributing $100
for a nameplate to be placed on the plaque. The plaque incorporates wood from the back of one of the pews that had been
in our sanctuary.
Applications for Niches or for a nameplate for the Plaque are available through the church office.

The God We Can Know
by Rob Fuquay
This 7 week study series is designed to
explore the “I AM” sayings of Jesus
found in the Gospel of John. One by
one, Jesus’ statements not only grab
our imagination by revealing more
about his purpose, while shaping our
own Christian identity and connect us
to the God of Moses the Great “I AM.”
ASH WEDNESDAY
Wednesday, February 18
Pancake Supper
Betty Spencer expressed a desire to be in ministry with our
homebound as a avocation in her retirement. She attended a training session
offered in our district by Becky Nabor a trained Stephen’s Ministry volunteer
and member at Baker Memorial UMC. Inspired by Becky, Betty has begun
sending monthly devotionals to our homebound. The devotional page includes
a thought for the week, a prayer and a short, inspirational message. The activity
page is chock-full of things for shut-ins to do during those long hours of the
day. Each activity is based on the Bible or church life. You can download a free
example of the newsletter at Hometouchministry.com.
MISSIONS - HYGIENE KITS

Kenmore United Methodist Church is through a new pictorial directory. Portraits of families and individuals will be taken during the weeks of April 22-25

further updates and may your faces be found among the pages that tell the story
of the people at Kenmore UMC.
29 Years of Spring Over the past 28 years, the Hospice Spring Bouquet
Sale has become a symbol marking the beginning of a new Spring season
in WNY. It is the Hospice Foundation’s largest event, and in 28 years,
they’ve sold 535,000 bouquets and 44,000 tribute bouquets, raising over $4.7 million for Hospice Buffalo. Hospice provides exceptional care and life enhancing services for seriously ill patients
and those who share their lives. Take a moment and purchase your
bouquet to support the work of Hospice Buffalo! Bouquets are $8
(standard) and $30 (tribute). Orders will be taken in the library on Sundays, Feb 15 & 22, with payment due with placed order. Flowers will be
delivered to the church on Tuesday March 3rd and we will call when they
are in! Our youth will be working at the flower warehouse preparing your

for the month of February – it is
very difficult to plan
an event with our
“uncertain” winter

for some exciting things coming this
spring, summer and oh yes – there
are plans underway for an
Amishland trip in October.
PIECEMAKERS
With the holidays and snow days,
the Piecemakers were so excited at
being back together on Friday morning in Fellowship Hall. We now are
beginning to work on our Red,
White and Blue quilts which will be
given to returning injured servicemen and servicewomen as well as
retirees and also service families.
So, if you have any red, white and /
or blue fabrics just sitting around,
we would be delighted to put them
to good use. With this cold weather, we have been able to contribute
blankets to warming centers and to
the women’s program at the “Y”.
Just a reminder to all of our gals – if
the Ken-Ton Schools are closed because of weather, we will not be
meeting. We want to keep everyone
safe, sound and cozy warm!!
“Thank you” to folks who supported
our ministry with their purchases of
holiday gift items. We have some
“all season” items on our shelves in
case you need a gift for birthday,

It is weird to say this but after Cookie
Bake Weekend there is some quiet in
our youth schedule. This is perfect
since we begin Lent this month and the
quiet in our schedule allows everyone to
begin to prepare our hearts for this

to reflect and meditate on what this
season means for each person
individually. For me, I love to reflect on
the awesome gift of Jesus that we are
reminded of each year during Lent.
Praise God!

worship, experience, and share
the Gospel in becoming disciples
