PASTOR’S MESSAGE
Dear Friends,
Just last week my son Peter sent me a picture of a plastic file box and the caption underneath read, “This is
Winnie’s.” You might think it a little odd that my son would send me a picture of my first granddaughter’s file box,
but let me explain.
At some point when Peter was in high school I read somewhere that a helpful thing to do is to give a child
leaving home a file box with all the important documents they might need to get started in life. I prepared one for all
three of my children. Over time I put in things like their records related to taxes, medical, employment, banking,
education, etc. All three of my kids thought it was funny especially when I showed up at each of their weddings to
hand over “the box” to them and their spouses. But after a few frantic calls to me looking for this or that document
and me telling them it was already in their boxes, they began to see the value of what I had done. Now Winnie has
hers.
As I finish up my ministry here at Gray Memorial I have been reflecting on what box of files I am leaving
with you so that you will do well in your life. I am not talking about a literal box of course. Every pastor leaves
behind something that they bring because we all come with our own gifts and graces. That of course is the principle
behind moving pastors around. I have benefitted by the wonderful “boxes” left behind by previous pastors serving
Caribou.
I can think of a number of things that I have left in your files but one comes to mind as most important to me.
It is part of Jesus’ command to his followers in Matthew 28.19, “Go…and make disciples.” If there is anything I hope
you have learned from me is the importance of making disciples as the core process of the church. Some of you got to
experience the power of that by joining me in Disciple Bible Study. We have also learned just recently how this is in
our DNA as Methodists and how reclaiming it will bring rival in our lives in the life of our church.
For Deneane and me it has been a wonderful journey serving in Caribou. We got to be here while you
celebrated the 100th anniversary in your church building. How cool is that! The celebration was all encompassing with
fixing up the exterior of the church, rethinking where we are going in the future, and just having fun.
Of course the best part is the relationships we have made. You are welcome to “like” us on Facebook if you
haven’t already so that we can keep up with each other’s lives. Friendship can continue even though my pastoral
duties have come to an end and I cannot come back to do funerals, baptisms, or weddings. I leave with a wonderfully
full “box” from you that will help sustain me wherever God calls.
God richly bless you all.
In Christ,
Pastor Tom

Greetings from the Church Office!
It’s beginning to warm up, so we might get to see a little “summer” before too long,
if it ever stops raining!
As we prepare to bid farewell to Pastor Tom & Deneane, let us all contemplate on
their many spiritual gifts they have shared with us over the last six years! We will miss
them!
Please remember to notify the church office whenever you move or change
telephone numbers and/or email addresses so that I can keep our Database current
and put a note in the next Newsletter! Remember to update your Pictorial Directory!
Anyone wishing to bring in flowers for the altar during the summer, please consider
signing up on the poster that will be available in the Narthex within the next few weeks or
contact Margaret Cyr (493-3028). You may designate that they are in memory or
honor of someone so it can be noted in the bulletin – just let the church office know by
the Thursday prior to the Sunday you plan to bring them in.
Until next month…..

printed. Next, The Committee reports were heard as follows:
CLUSTER: Pastor Tom reported that the main order of business was to recognize three pastors
making big changes: Pastor Tom being appointed to Gales Ferry, CT, Dot Matson taking Sabbatical
Leave, and Ellen Cleaves retiring from Limestone and being appointed to Lidstone MUMC in
Washburn. Each received gifts and a special “song” was sung in honor of their ministries. Among
the various church activities to note are the 125th Anniversary Celebration of Limestone UMC being
held May 24th from 10:30 am to 3:00 pm at which Bishop Devadhar will give the message; the “Lend

– Gray Memorial UMC Vacation Bible School. The Mapleton UMC has a free Community Luncheon

COMMUNITY SERVICE: Judi wished to thank Ecumenical Food Pantry volunteer workers Leland
Frost, Shirley Bowman, Richard and Susan Clark, Diane & Phil McDonough, Marcia DeMerchant, Bill
Thomas, and Claire Hodgkins on behalf of Gray Memorial. Her committee is working on their gift to
Pastor Tom and Deneane. Also her committee will be meeting to develop an entry for the “Caribou
Cares About Kids” parade later this summer in August.
EDUCATION: No report – meeting will be held after Church Council Meeting.
EVANGELISM: The Committee decided that Deneane would write a summary description of the
Evangelism and Publicity Committee and its purpose and include a history of its many contributions
through the years as well as a copy of the church brochure to be included in the Time Capsule to be
laid later this year. The Committee urges people to wear their name badges each Sunday, especially
to help the new pastor and his family when they arrive, as well as new visitors and members. A
dozen lanyards have been ordered to have on hand for name badges in case someone would prefer
that to a pin.
FINANCE AND STEWARDSHIP: Shirley Bowman reported that for the month of April the church
received $12,796.19 in regular offerings and other sources. Reimbursements were $89.98, and
17
special funds for church use amounted to $1,035.51. Special funds not for church use amounted to
$2,820.05 of which $2,318.00 was for Youth 2015.
Bobbi reported the following checkbook figures:

The beginning balance for the Capital Account Seed money fund was $17,756.37. We had deposits
of $604.75 with nothing spent. The balance ending April 30th was $18,361.12.
Bobbi was only able to pay the Pastor Pension Benefit to the New England Conference so we are
behind one month Mission Share’s payment of $2,207.42. All other bills were paid. The Dead River
Balance for the church is $1,211.51, and for the Parsonage, $1,466.70. There will be no payment

$63,447.35. Unpaid expenses for April amounted to $2,207.42. The average attendance for April
was 125.
HISTORY AND RECORDS: Mary Lou reported that her committee discussed which documents from
the Time Capsule should be copied for retention. To get an idea of what can go into a new Time
Capsule, the Committee plans to experiment with putting items suggested by the congregation
survey into a box to see what it will hold. Mary Lou plans to be in touch with Paul Powers who will
be making the new Time Capsule box and also Rene St. Peter to learn how much room will be
needed in the new pillar which will house the Time Capsule. Northeast Publishing will make
enlarged copies of pertinent sections of the 1913 newspaper as well as a CD for future benefit.
Mary Lou and Wendy Bossie have been using color coded dots to classify library books to make it
easier for people to find what they want. Also, Mary Lou has been working to identify people in the
many photographs in the collection and filing them in loose leaf note books in chronological order.
Claire Hodgkins has given the library a CD player that also plays tapes and has a radio. Along with
that is a collection of Peter Finkel’s classical CDs for the enjoyment of the congregation after Mary
Lou has a chance to catalog them. The November 23, 1913 Aroostook Republican article describing
the dedication of the new BGMUMC is being enlarged and will be framed and will hang in the
church library for all to enjoy.
MEMORIALS: No report, but two scholarship applications were received.
SPRC: The Council was asked to approve Andrew Craig as a new member of SPRC which was
unanimous. Also, the Council approved the appointment of Michele Sterner as Child Care
18
Supervisor at an increase of salary of 10%, to $12 an hour until December 31st. The Committee still
has not resolved the child care issues so will wait one more month. A staff pot luck is planned for
later this summer.
TRUSTEES: Roy Alden reported that the carpet in all but two rooms upstairs in the Parsonage have
been removed. He asked the Council for permission to use money from the Capital Account Seed
Money to pay for sanding some of the floors since the Trustees still do not know how much money
will be needed to move the new pastor. Although not all members were in favor of granting the
request since this was not the purpose of the seed money, the Council did grant the request up to
$3,500.00. From June 16-20 Deneane and family will be using the Alden Camp at Madawaska Lake
while the sanding and floor restoration project is in progress. The Trustees want to thank the
Bentums for allowing the work on the Parsonage to start early.
UMM: No report - there will be a breakfast meeting Saturday, May 23rd at 8:30 am.
UMW: The Rummage Sale proceeds were about $500 and the Jennie Lyon Circle Bake Sale made
$112.50. Many UMW members attended the Korean Tea at Grant Memorial UMC on Saturday,
May 16th and heard
Ron and Sue Chaffee speak about their trip to South Korea last year. The annual Pie Sale will be
Friday, July 3rd. The UMW donated $500 to the church for operating expenses and established a
$200 “kitty fund” to send youth to Camp Mechuwana next summer. UMW will provide

delicious pot luck luncheon was enjoyed. Refreshment committee was Zelma Merritt and
and Joanne Smith. Mary Lou led us in singing and Audry Bubar read several inspirational
selections. Our guest speaker was Jane Pinette who spoke on behalf of the Retired Senior
Volunteer Program (RSVP). She is the Caribou area Volunteer Coordinator. Jane is
originally from Caribou and has lived away for many years. She has returned home and
resides in Caribou. Mary Lou thanked Jane for coming to speak to our group. It was agreed
to give a donation ($25) to RSVP. In the absence of our treasurer Ruth Ross, Gwen
Ellinwood gave the report. Balance on hand was $195.51. The secretary report was read
and accepted. Much UMW business was discussed such as the reading program by Cathy
Griffith. Many names were brought to mind when Mary Lou asked everyone to be in the
spirit of prayer. There will be no meeting in June as we will be eating out at the Caribou
Motor Inn. Benediction was said and meeting was adjourned. Respectively...Betty
