A LETTERFROMPAULTO
THECHURCHATCHANUTE
What can I say? Peopleof First United MethodistChurch in Chanute, you arean amazing congregation.Thank you for permitting meto enter into your heartsand lives for a year in ourworship and work for ourLord and Savior.
Staff...Wow! Youre awonderful crew of workersand servants, all of you. Andwhat a range of talents andabilities, temperaments andpersonalities!
God has blessed, is bless-ing and will continue to bless
you in this congregation andin this community as youkeep Christ at the center ofall you do, and Love at the
center of how you do it. Becareful of one another forthe sake of that Love whoseName is Jesus and whoseGrace is our salvation.Nothing can separate usfrom that Love which is un-fathomable, inexhaustible,and relentlessly in pursuit ofour eternal good. Nothing.
Now a word about joy--our lives, our attitudes, ourspeech, our hearts should beoverflowing with joy because
we know Jesus! Youremember the story of Pauland Silas? What theyfound themselves in, for allintents and purposes, was aworld of hurt--underarrest, bloody and beaten,chained hand and foot in aRoman dungeon, theyshouldve been filled with
despair! What did theydo? They sang! They sangwith everything they had!They sang joyfully andwithout ceasing at the topof their bloody and beatenvoices, because their liveswere no longer oriented totheir surroundings. Let merepeat that, because theirlives were no longer orient-ed to their surroundings...and may I add -- nor to
their power, prestige,credentials or possessions.Their lives were orientedto the Love of God inChrist and their tonguescould not silence the songsrising in their souls.
That is the joy I wishfor you, and for all who willbe welcomed into yourchurch family in themonths and years tocome--an unquenchable joy,
born of the Spirit,centered in Christ.
That is the joy I praywill overflow when youwelcome your new pastor,Rev. April and her family,and wrap them in your loveas they begin the journeyin your midst that God hasprepared, blessed and given
to you as a pricelesstreasure ready to unfold.
May the Peace of Godthat passes all understand-ing, keep your hearts andminds in Christ, now andalways.
Thank you andGod bless you!
Pastor Paul& Peck Kam Wolf
P.S. For those whose maincontact with FUMC is thisNewsletter, this is my finalWolf Tracks. I willcontinue to preach andserve in your midst throughJune 22, which is our BonVoyage Sunday--oneworship service at 9:00a.m. followed by a potluckbrunch. If not before, Ihope to see you then.

The Sunday school
teacher was carefully
explaining the story of
Elijah the Prophet and
the false prophets of
Baal. She explained
how Elijah built the alta
put wood upon it, cut
the steer in pieces and
laid it upon thealtar. And then Elijah
commanded the people
of God to fill four barrel
of water and pour it ove
the altar. He had them
do this four times .
Now, said the teacher,
"can anyone in the class
tell me why the Lord
would have Elijah pour
water over the steer on
the altar?"
A little girl raised her
hand with great enthus
asm and said "To make
the gravy!"

A boy sat down,he looked so sad
his toy had gone apartHe tried to fix it,
but too bad! -he just wasn't
that smart."Oh Father, help me!"
was his cry,"please fix this toy
for me!""My pleasure, son",
the quick replyas he came
close to see.The boy bowed downand tried anew,each time with
greater zealBut as the night drew
close he knewhis failure was too realHe then looked up and
cried again;"My Father!
Don't you care?You told me you would
help mebut your hand was
never there!""My precious son",
the father said,as he in lovebowed down,
"I waited here allafternoon
while you tried onyour own -
I could not fix your toy,
you see,cause you did
not let go,but give me pleaseeach broken part,
and I will fix it now!"And so the story endedwith a happy little boywho finally gave all to
dad who fixed hisbroken toy.
