The Beacon Newsletter of the United Methodist Church February 2015 PASTOR’S FORUM “How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron’s beard, down on the collar of his robe. It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the Lord bestows his blessing, even life forevermore.” Psalm 133 UNITED METHODIST CHURCH 439 PARK AVENUE AUBURN, MAINE 04210 Telephone: (207) 782-3972 www.auburnmethodist.org Church Secretary, Joan Spitzform Email: [email protected] Sunday Worship 8:30 and 10 a.m. Sunday School Children and Youth 10:00 a.m. Staff Rev.

Next due date is March 10th Dear Friends, Who among us does not desire a blessed life for ourselves, our loved ones and the world around us? Psalm 133 suggests one attribute to such a life; unity among brothers and sisters. As I write to you on this frosty January morning our sisters in the UMW are preparing to share their annual service with us and this year’s theme is racial and cultural unity. Though this service has been planned for some time, it seems so appropriate this week as the world mourns the events that have recently taken place in France. None of us are strangers to the fact that we live in a very diverse world where our differences often stand out more than our commonalities. Even in our own small groups of families and friends, we often need to strive for harmony. Jesus certainly lived in a similar world and yet he modeled for us a way to live united with brothers and sisters who may be very different from us. Jesus was able to see those around him, even his detractors, with love and mercy. He taught us to see the good in others and to forgive each other’s offenses often. During the weeks ahead, I pray that we will be in a spirit of celebration as we recognize our unique characteristics. I pray that we will all encourage each other to look beyond the areas of divisiveness that exists between individuals and groups of people and strive to see God’s fingerprints and attributes within the “other” instead. I ask you to join me in praying that God will help us to look beyond whatever biases we might have toward others so that we might gain a new appreciation for our neighbors. Hatred and violence are never isolated experiences. Differences between Jews, Christian and Muslims, blacks and whites, authorities and others across the country and the world, can be improved by our own actions right here at home. As the favorite hymn states, “Let there be peace on Earth and let it begin with me”. I pray that you and yours will experience much love and peace during the coming months and that through your thoughtfulness, others around you will as well. Valentine Blessings, Pastor Jackie 1 quietly in worship and other areas of church life already. From the spiritual side of the equation, many requested that more silence be added to the worship services. You may see this in the prayer time with the opportunity to light a candle with your own silent petition. During the lenten services you will see more of this type of offering as well. Pastor’s Office Hours Pastor Jackie has Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9 to noon for office hours unless a district meeting is scheduled on one of those particular days. Most visitations occur in the afternoons. If you would like to schedule an appointment please feel free to call her cell 242-2770. The door is open! On the outreach side, you have probably experienced an additional push to wear your name tags. We are searching for ways to be better at helping all folks, kids and elders, visitors and long time members feel welcomed and accepted. We hope that you will join with us in discerning ways for us to be more intentional in our spiritual growth and in our outreach to the world. If you have ideas to share, please feel free to send them to Claire Cote, our Council Chairperson or Pastor Jackie. † Retreat Report 2 Chronicles 34:29-32 “Then the king sent and gathered all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem. The king went up to the house of the LORD and all the men of Judah, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the priests, the Levites and all the people, from the greatest to the least; and he read in their hearing all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of the LORD. Then the king stood in his place and made a covenant before the LORD to walk after the LORD, and to keep His commandments and His testimonies and His statutes with all his heart and with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant written in this book. Moreover, he made all who were present in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand with him. So the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.” Scripture Themes for Winter 2015 ! ! ! February 1, 2015: Psalm 111 Mark 1:21-28 Growing With the Messiah February 8, 2015: Psalm 147 Mark 1:29-39 Healing Work of the Messiah February 15, 2015: Psalm 50 Mark 9:2-9 In Awe of the Messiah Transfiguration Sunday Reminders - In November, many of us gathered together at our Church Retreat to discuss the goals that we had for the church in the next three to five years. We looked at two major themes that influence all of our practice and behavior here at AUMC; developing our spiritual lives and reaching out to others in Jesus' name. We knew that these two themes were the basis for all that we do as Christians. In the months to come, there will be information shared with everyone about the events that took place at that retreat and what plans may have come from it. Indeed, if you are on a working committee, you are sure to be discussing the ideas generated already and certainly our council has as well. Some of the ideas generated may have slipped in CHURCH REQUEST: If you belong to a group that uses the church either during the day or evening, please note: Several times a month, either the interior lights are left on, or the main door is not completely closed when leaving the building. Please make sure that if you are the last one out of the church that all lights in the building are off and that you make sure the front door is securely closed and locked behind you. ALSO: Due to the cold weather, the pipes in both the ladies room and the men’s room tend to freeze. Please make sure that you leave the bathroom doors open when not in use. For the ladies room, please also open the door that leads to the nursery. Thank you for your cooperation! 2 newsletter to be printed.

High Street Congregational Church 2014 Annual Report of the Food Pantry The High Street Congregational Church (HSCC) Food Pantry continues to serve the local community with weekly offerings of nourishing fresh produce, canned goods, bakery products, frozen meat and poultry, and products for personal hygiene. The pantry is open every Thursday from 9:30 am to 11:30 am and serves approximately 240 families each month. A typical family "take away" fills a banana box and an assortment of containers, and weighs up to 50 lbs. In addition to the food offerings, the food recipients are treated to coffee, pastries, occasional fresh fruit and juice for the kids. P.S. You can also find the most recent and the last issues of the Beacon on our web siteauburnmethodist.org so please check it out. † Soup Labels Box Tops Thank you to all those who have been so faithful in saving Campbell Soup labels and Box Tops for Education. Gail Theberge, secretary at the Washburn Elementary School, coordinates this endeavor. Please continue to save them- this is a worthy community service! † The pantry was formed as a collaboration of four churches in the Auburn area: High Street Congregational Church, United Methodist Church of Auburn, West Auburn Congregational Church and Saint Michael’s Parish. The pantry is an all volunteer organization of approximately two dozen people who each participate one to five Thursday mornings per month. Individual tasks include: buying food product, transporting, loading shelves, operating the registration computer spreadsheet, distributing food in the pantry and socializing with the clients. Take the Paper Challenge! One of our biggest office expenses is that of paper. Each year, there are 10 issues of the Beacon 3 The Good Shepherd Food Bank is the principle source of food and other products for the pantry. Additional sources of food and financial support include donations from the participating church congregations, the Auburn-Lewiston Rotary Breakfast Club, direct contributions from Hannaford's Supermarket in Auburn, the USDA Federal Food Assistance Program and local businesses. Food contributions during 2014 totaled ~142,000 pounds. Good Shepherd, in addition, provided a "mobile pantry" truck with 8,000 lbs. of food for distribution at the pantry, on an "as available basis" with funding from a Good Shepherd benefactor. A Holiday Thanksgiving Special was provided by the pantry which included 210 turkeys in addition to fresh produce, canned goods and meat. Christmas stockings for children 2-7 years of age were distributed during December. A special “Warm Hands for Kids” project coordinated by Stephanie Upton, with knitting contributors from all member churches and numerous local organizations, provided over 500 pairs of mittens and gloves to 250 families during January 2015.

His grandmother made her own pasta and grew a garden while raising four children. They had com to Massachusetts in 1908 from Italy. Tony, Terri, and Anthony Blasi 53 Valley St. Auburn, Maine 04210- 4253 207-784-0058 [email protected] Tony Blasi was born April 4, 1960 in Everett, Mass. and grew up in Revere, Mass. His parents were Albert and Louise, both born in Everett and raised in Revere. Al, Tony’s father, was a history teacher and a baseball coach for thirty five years. He worked several other jobs to support his family. Louise was a homemaker who loved history and loved to paint. As a child of five, she became sick with tuberculosis and for five years she was in an iron lung. Tony’s father, Albert, died at age 81, about three months ago. He was well known in the coaching field and was actively involved in sports. Tony grew up in Revere and is a giant of a man. He was actively involved in sports, like his father, including basketball, football and baseball. His interest in sports was certainly developed with the help of his father’s career. Because of Tony’s size as a youth, he must have been formidable to youths on opposing teams and well appreciated by his own teammates. Tony graduated from Revere High School and went to Northeastern University, receiving a degree in history in 1984. During high school, young Tony’s first real job was working at Depetros Market in Revere. His father also worked there. After graduating from Northeastern, he applied for a position in journalism at the Sun Journal in Lewiston as a sports writer and after twenty-seven years he is still there. He is also a substitute teacher in the Lewiston Schools. Terri’s grandmother, Mary Johnson Blake, was born in Nova Scotia in 1888. She met her husband, Walter Blake, and they settled in Brownfield, Maine. He was a farmer and had a lumber mill. Terri’s mother, Dorothy Millett, was born in Brownfield, Maine. She married Phil Millett and was a homemaker. There were three other children. Phil worked for H. P. Hood Company for forty years as a mechanic. Terri graduated from Windham High School in 1981 and then attended Westbrook College until 1983. She has worked at Auburn Middle School for fifteen years as an Ed. Tech. teacher for Special Education. Terri’s first job was at Lerner’s Retail Store at the Maine Mall, during high school. When she had time she liked to play the piano and the clarinet. Now to the next generation. Anthony Blasi attended preschool at the United Methodist Church – yes, our church! -- in 1996. It is difficult to believe that Anthony is about to graduate from Edward Little High School this coming June. He also attended the Auburn Washburn School. Now, Anthony is making plans to further his education but hasn’t decided where, just yet. He has been accepted at University of Maine but is still waiting to see where else he might be accepted. Anthony has been an honor student throughout school and is also a member of the National Honor Society and has taken advanced placement courses. Presently, he is working on a World War 11 Web site. He has taken five years of Spanish and advanced placement courses in history and government. For four years, Anthony has worked as a ski patroller at Lost Valley. During the summer, he works at the YWCA in Lewiston as a life guard. You will see Anthony frequently serving his church as a Liturgist on Sunday mornings. Will his future lie in the field of history and sports as did his 9 grandfather and father? make your world a better place. Thanks to the Blasi family for helping us get to know them better. The Blasi family has been attending our church for years, but not always. Terri grew up in the Westbrook First Baptist Church and Tony in St. Anthony’s Church in Revere, Mass. Now we need to find out how Terri, a beautiful young lady from Auburn, met a handsome young man, Tony, from Revere, Mass. Isn’t it great to find out how many couples in our church have met over long distances between their original homes? (The Chapmans come to mind.) Well, here is how it came about in Terri and Tony’s case. It seems that after Tony was given the position of sports writer for the Sun Journal, he somehow got an invitation to a dance in the local area. He got involved in a conversation with Terri and her girlfriend, but Terri believed it was her girlfriend he was really interested in. As the evening ended and they prepared to leave Tony approached Terri and asked her for her phone number. Terri was a bit peeved, thinking it was going to be his way of finding out her girlfriend’s number, using her as an intermediary. But Tony was on a mission: to get to know the girl he really wanted to connect with again. Terri soon found out that he was really interested in her. After numerous dates, they soon discovered they liked each other and not too much later, in 1989, Terri was wearing a diamond. In 1990, they were married and honeymooned in Laconia, N.H. Their first home was in the Grand-View Apartments in Lewiston. It was a small, three room cozy home for them and they lived there for three years before moving on to something bigger. A son, Anthony, was born to them in 1996. If you don’t know the Blasies you are missing out on knowing a beautiful family from our church. Let me add here that Stan Rice and Tony Blasi have finally met their match -- someone who likes to talk as much as he . . . They have enjoyed talking with each other about their many common interests. Marilyn Rice January Celebrations!!
