Flagler Beach United Methodist Church
February 1 is the
SOUPER BOWL OF
CARING
SUNDAY
when
we
collect
canned soups and
crackers (mostly soup,
please) for our Food
Pantry. We want to go
over the numbers collected in 2014 so our
goal is 400 food items
and $425.00 cash.
Every can, sleeve of crackers, dollar bill counts.
Larry and Sarah Kerr will be making their delicious
BLACK BEANS AND RICE (and
other stuff) LUNCH on Sunday,
February 22 after the 11 o’clock
service. We will take up a free
will offering to help our sister
church in Cuba, but please consider donating what you would
pay for lunch in a restaurant including tax and tip.
Our sister church, Buena Vista Methodista of Las
Tunas, wants to build a privacy fence around the property and your donations will go directly to them.
They have almost outgrown the church house
and frequently hold services and meals in the
yard. See the picture of the lighted cross on top
of their church house on page 5. What a
splendid sight!
February 15 will be UNITED METHODIST
WOMEN SUNDAY when the women conduct
both services and tell the congregation about
the work of the organization to help women,
youth and children throughout the world.
East Central District Superintendent Rev. Annette Stiles Pendergrass will be the speaker. Local President Gayle Goodman will present Special Recognition Pins and Certificates of
Award to honor those who serve the
Lord here at FBUMC.

Local Church Leadership Training
Clergy and Laity Day of Learning
Saturday, February 7, 2015
The East Central District has scheduled a local
church training event for Saturday, February 7, which is
designed to inspire and equip laity, lay staff, and clergy,
under the heading, Called to Serve.
The guest speaker will be Rev. Dr. Rini Hernandez, district superintendent in the South West District.
There are over 25 different session topics to chose
from in the schedule for the day. Gathering is at 8
a.m. at First UMC in Oviedo, with the opening at 8:45.
Dismissal will be at 1 p.m. Snacks will be available during the morning break period.
Pastor Jeanine is urging all church leaders to attend. We will carpool as needed.
A complete course outline, brief class details, and
session leaders is available on the EC website. Go to
www.ecdistrictumc.org for details and to register.
Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, February 18 this
year. Christians have observed this season of the
church year since the fourth century. It’s traditionally a
time of reflection, penitence and spiritual renewal before Easter.
During Lent, some Christians give up something
that hinders their relationship with God. Others do
something extra for their spiritual growth or make a
special sacrifice. The key is to make Lent a memorable
season of sincere spiritual growth — a time that can set
the tone for the rest of the year.
As part of your Lenten Bible study, join the Pastor’s
Bible Study held every Wednesday, at 10:30 a.m. in
Rooms 4/5. The group is studying Revelations. Pastor
Jeanine says the study looks at how Revelations is
relevant in today’s society.

H
OW is it with your soul? This is the main question John Wesley, the
founder of Methodism, would ask at the Class Meetings. Class Meetings were small groups that met regularly to hold Christians accountable
with their walk with God.
To answer this question, how is it with your soul, required deep soul searching, looking down into the very being of your heart.
Another question that was asked to help assess the state of your soul was, “Have
you constantly attended on all the ordinances of God?” The ordinances being, our
personal prayer life, our personal and social worship of God and acts of serving
others. John Wesley would know these as acts of piety and acts of mercy.
As we prepare for this season of Lent, the forty days leading to Easter, it is time for
us to do introspection. Let us focus on this question, How is it with your soul? Where
are you in your walk with God? What place does God have in your life, first, or somewhere after all that other stuff we are involved in? Where are your priorities in serving
and worshipping God?
I am asking that you take these questions and ask them of yourself each morning
when you rise and each night when you go to bed. Search your soul and be real with
your answers. Whenever we meet whether it be Sunday School, Bible Study, UMW,
Men’s Gathering, Ad Council, Finance, SPPR, Trustees, or Worship, I am holding you
accountable as I am myself to this soul searching question, How Is It With Your Soul?
May we use this season and these questions to grow in Christ as we work toward
being more like Christ. And as we remember why Jesus Christ went to the Cross for
each one of us.
Peace and Blessings,
Pastor Jeanine

IS FUNDAMENTAL

This article was written by Yvette Kim
Richards, President of the UMW, in the December issue of Response magazine, and
since it contains pertinent issues relative to
our Reading Program, I am taking the opportunity of placing it in a condensed form here
so that all UMW members will have the
chance of reading it.
She has placed a lot of emphasis on the
2015 Reading Program because there seems
to be great progress in the selection of the
quality of books that are on the published list.
The Reading Program Specialist and the
evaluators have spent hours reading to bring
us this list.
I am hoping that each of us will be encouraged and be more enthusiastic in participating in the program which is very vital as
we work in mission for the women, youth and
children, not only in our community but
around the world.
Yvette said, "The Reading Program is a
study opportunity, but it should also lead to
action." Following are some of the many areas in which we all can be encouraged as we
work together:
(1) Expand understanding of and participation in God's mission. (2) Increase sensitivity to all human beings….their needs, interests and concerns. (3) Encourage critical
thinking about issues facing humanity today.
(4) Grow in understanding of Scripture as it
relates to Christian faith in contemporary life.
(5) Enhance self knowledge and act from that
knowledge. (6) Strengthen involvement in
global Christian mission.
The criteria for participation in the Program is in the library (if you did not get a print
out at our last meeting) and in our 2015 UMW
Directory on pages 18 and 19.
The Program also offers a variety of titles that you can give books from the list as
gifts for special days as birthdays or Christmas, or to someone who is facing personal
life challenges. If you need help in purchasing
a book for your personal use, please do not
hesitate to call on me for help.
SO LET'S ALL START THINKING,

The Men enjoyed a
delicious breakfast on
January 5 prepared by
Bill Rosado. During that session they decided
to change their meeting time to the first
Wednesday of each month as well as reelected officers for 2015. Future activities
could include a behind the scene tour of the
Florida Agricultural Museum. We will take
part in the upcoming Rummage Sale. In view
of the time for the latter event, our next gathering will be at 8:30 a.m. on February 11.

A thank you to all who have expressed
sympathy and condolences to Patti and me
concerning the passing of my mother, Marcetis Rachel Milton, January 3, 2015. February 2nd mom would have been 96 and I believe that she had used up all of her allotted

The annual United Methodist Women/
Men’s Club scholarship is now open to accept
applications from high school seniors or
adults who may be enrolled in a college or in
vocational training. The final amount will be
determined at the end of March.
The applicant must have some affiliation
with Flagler Beach United Methodist Church.
If there is more than one applicant, the
scholarship will be awarded on the basis of
need. The scholarship check will be sent to
the school.
Only the Scholarship Committee will
have access to the application which can be
picked up in the church office or from Carol
Elliott. Carol can send the application by
email: contact is [email protected].
The deadline for receipt of the application is March 31, 2015.
The Trustees are
moving forward with a
plan to renovate and
freshen the appearance
of much of the outer shell
of the church. This encompasses cleaning and
inspecting the roof over the sanctuary, some
repairs to all sides of the building and some
painting, including the cross. It will probably
be spring or near then when we begin. An
independent contractor will be chosen to do
the work.

Does It Really Matter?
B
y now, for many, those New Year’s resolutions have started to slide. For me, my
resolution of getting my writing done early is wavering and the deadline of getting
in this article for Tidings is looming. As you can see, there is an empty desk here. I’m not sitting here writing one of these stories/articles for Tidings. In fact, one of my resolutions was to
clean the desk and now the desk looks overly neat…actually empty. You would be correct in
thinking that there doesn’t appear to have been any activity for some time!
Michele Y. Burpeau,
Ph.D.
Sometimes I wonder if this is really what God wants me to do. I often wonder does anyone
care? Is anyone reading this anyway? As I look at my clean desk, I wonder if writing is what I
need to do. Maybe I really didn’t understand God correctly and was only thinking that I was
supposed to be writing. Last summer, when I was taking a summer break, I quickly found
other things to do with my time and wondered whether it mattered if I submitted articles or not.
I figured I could use my time in other ways.
Then someone asked me why I hadn’t written for the summer Tidings. When I heard this, I
wondered if that person had actually benefited from my writings or was “laying a guilt
trip” on me for not writing. I didn’t know.
Then, I got a letter from an out of town reader
telling me how much she appreciated reading
my writings and how she looked forward to
each month’s issue. Next, a lady walked up
to me at church and introduced herself and
said that she enjoyed the last month’s article.
That made me think that God was sending
me another message. There were only two
Nothin’ Happening Here!
questions left for me to answer. Do good
(Photo supplied by author)
works (or what you think are good works)
matter? Should we question if the tasks given to us are necessary?
In the Bible, Jonah and the whale is a tale of following God’s wishes. God sent Jonah a message of what He wanted done. As we know, God instructs Jonah to go and preach to the people of Nineveh. We also know that Jonah doesn’t want to go to Nineveh since it’s a “wicked”
city and the capital of the Assyrian empire, an enemy of Israel. Jonah takes off in the opposite
direction by hopping on a ship in Joppa headed to Tarshish. God doesn’t allow Jonah to escape God’s plans for him and acts to set him back on course.
Bible Study –
The Book of
Jonah
I’m not suggesting that God is going to have me swallowed by a whale for wondering if writing
is what He wants me to do but after hearing several messages about my writings I’ve decided
that perhaps writing for Tidings is God’s instruction to me. It seems it does matter. I’ve learned
that what may seem like a ripple in a pond to me may be like a huge wave to someone else.
Writing an article, cleaning the church grounds, taking a meal to your ill neighbor, or sending a
note of encouragement to someone – whatever it is - it’s not for us to say how “valuable” it is.
The other thing is that when you believe God has told you to do something, don’t question it,
just do it!
I guess that means that I need to get this draft completed and submitted to the Editor for the
next Tidings!
