A Note from Pastor Christi

It’s that time again…the changing of the

seasons. It’s Spring. Spring always

comes as a welcomed relief after the

winter. It almost seems like the air is

more fresh in the Spring. Spring is the

season where there is new life; flowers

bloom, grasses are no longer dormant

and mowing begins. For farmers, it’s

the beginning of the hay season, so

they can support their livestock the

next winter.

Spring is a season of new life and

growth. We have seen new life in the

church since the beginning of 2018

from new ministries, new staff, and

new members. We will continue to

experience it with the celebrations of

Confirmation Sunday and Graduation

Sunday as we walk with our youth in

these milestones in their faith and life.

In February, I preached on an icy

Sunday that we can experience new life

through the season of Lent. The season

of Lent can be challenging. It is a time

where we focus on sin and mortality.

No one wants to talk about either of

these two things, but we forget the

other side of these things is life. When

we understand the gospel and hope

that we have through Christ of how we

can experience new life through him,

we experience this new life by turning

from our sins and we receive eternal

life from Christ in death. We know we

can be freed from our sins because

Jesus overcame them on the cross.

That’s what makes Easter so beautiful,

because we know the end of the story.

We know there is an empty tomb. We

know Christ is Risen! We know there is

life through Christ and in Christ! We

know that Christ has victory!

When we skip Lent or the events of

Holy Week we don’t get to experience

the fullness of Easter. It would be like

going from Fall to Spring without

Winter. We can’t jump over all the

events of Holy Week or all the events of

Jesus’ last days and experience the joy

of the empty tomb with Mary. Mary

walked with Jesus to the cross and the

tomb, then found that tomb empty on

the third day. We can’t deeply know

the joy of Mary without walking with

her through all of the events of Jesus’

last days.

We invite you to join us for Holy Week!

Holy Week is the last week of March. I

look forward to walking with you all

from cross, to the grave, and to the

empty tomb on Easter morning! I look

forward to sharing with you the joy of

Easter as we experience the

resurrection of our lives and walk with

our Lord in the new life! I look forward

to discovering the empty tomb with

you on Easter morning! I look forward

to the greatest April Fools in history

where they thought Jesus was dead!

March Mission of the Month: Hannah’s Haven, A Teen Challenge Center MISSION

Hannah's Haven, A Teen challenge Center, helps women develop in spirit, mind, and body so they can become all they were created to be in Christ. In partnership with the community, Hannah's Haven provides a safe and stable environment for women who are in recovery from substance abuse.

HISTORY

Hannah's Haven was born out of the heart and spirit of Founder, Bonnie Harris. After being set free from addiction, Bonnie felt God calling her to start a ministry for women like herself. The ministry is named after Hannah, the barren woman in the Bible who cried out to the Lord in great distress. The Lord "remembered her" and she gave birth to Samuel, who became a great prophet.

MODEL FOR MINISTRY (S.A.F. E.)

Spiritual Growth, Affirmation, Fellowship, and Education

PROGRAM

Hannah's Haven is a structured program with 24-hour supervision designed to facilitate drug-free living and a successful transition into productive life. Program Components include: Daily Biblical teaching, Christian discipleship, Community volunteering, Vocational assistance, One-on-one mentoring, and Aftercare upon graduation.

THANK YOU FOR HELPING

Because there is a nominal fee for the program, Hannah's Haven depends solely on the support of donors and volunteers in the community. The transformation of one woman can affect her entire family and community. Monetary donations may be made to ORUMC, memo: Hannah’s Haven. Thank you for supporting Hannah's Haven and helping transform lives.

FAQ About Giving & Taxes Ahhhh, tax season is upon us. One of the most frequently asked questions this time of year for many people that are

expecting a return is, "What should I use my return for this year?" A vacation? New furniture? Paying down

household debt or medical expenses?

Even with the changes enacted through the new Tax Reform Bill, you CAN still itemize your deductions in 2018,

including your charitable donations to Oak Ridge UMC. As Finance Chair, I would like to ask you to prayerfully

consider giving a portion of your 2017 tax return (if you are receiving one) to support the Church's 2018 general

budget. Year to date, we are running about 14% below our projected giving for the general budget, primarily due to

the impacts of inclement weather in February. Thank you for your prayerful consideration of this opportunity to help

support our Church, our staff and our ministries.

Journeying together until we all embody

the life and teachings of Jesus

Walking by the sea, Jesus “noticed a tax-collector named Levi sitting at his tax booth, and Jesus said to him, “Follow Me.”

And he left everything behind, and got up and began to follow Him.” Luke 5:27-28

And such began Levi’s journey of faith with Jesus. Just the same as every disciple of Jesus, it begins with the call to

Come and Follow! This was not highly unusual as Rabbis (teachers) called disciples (learners). A disciple would sit at

the feet of the Rabbi, follow the Rabbi wherever they sojourned, in essence; they did life with the Rabbi until they had

learned all that the Rabbi could teach them. Disciples followed their Rabbi until they could live their life the way their

Rabbi lived.

Jesus’ ministry began when he called people to follow Him. He called all sorts of people regardless of age, gender, or

moral righteousness. Levi was a tax-collector, Peter, James and John were fishermen, and yet each of them received the

invitation to follow. Jesus called some of the most unlikely folks, plain ordinary people like you and I, fallible people who

did not live life totally the way God intends. But the invitation to follow—to become a disciple—meant that by simply

doing life with Jesus, their lives would change. Disciples had the privilege of sitting at the feet of Jesus as He taught,

had the privilege of seeing how Jesus reacted in trying situations, watched how Jesus interacted with others, they were

with Him when he worshipped and when He did both mundane and miraculous things. What an awesome experience!

A life-changing experience!

The wonderful news for us today, is that Jesus is still calling disciples. Still calling the most unlikely folks to become

disciples, people like you and I. And we are called just as we are - broken, lost, imperfect, and struggling to get through

life day by day. But the call to Follow - means that we are called to be transformed into people who do life the way

Jesus would do life if Jesus were living our life today. We have opportunities to learn from Jesus during our times of

Worship, in small group studies, and in acts of mission and service.

As Director of Adult Discipleship, my prayer is that each person who calls Oak Ridge UMC home will regularly participate

in both worship and one of the many small group offerings designed to help us in our journey to become more and

more Christ-like in word and deed.

Great news, several people have already signed up for the October 2018 teams! Last year was amazing. For the first

time we served 400 Guatemalan families with our two teams. This is a life changing ministry, not only for the people

we serve but also for team members. We serve God by serving others. The primary goal of the ministry is growing

God's Kingdom. Many of the people we serve are not Christian. This ministry establishes a connection between the

families we serve and the local church. Many are led to a relationship with Christ through that connection. As we go

into their homes and install their stoves, we get up close and personal with some of the most humble and grateful

people you will ever meet. For a relatively small investment on our part, they go from life threatening air and water, to

clear air and purified drinking water. For more ministry details check out this link on the church website:

www.oakridgeumc.org/outreach/article445376c8867534.htm

Another important part of this ministry is water filters in schools. For the water filters at home to be truly beneficial,

the children must also have clean water to drink at school. Our goal is to put a water filter in every classroom of the

schools in the villages where we serve. The teachers routinely demonstrate the proper use of the water filter and

express the importance of clean water. Putting water filters in the schools is obviously very important to the overall

success of the ministry.

This year we are planning three teams. The first team, October 13-20, will include many High Point University students.

The second team is scheduled for October 20-27. Pastor Andy will serve on the third team, October 27 - November 2.

This will be a fantastic opportunity for fellow parishioners to demonstrate God’s love as we serve together with Pastor

Andy. You have heard Pastor Andy talk about being passionate for Christ. Can we be passionate for Christ and not be

passionate for missions and serving others? I know we will see Jesus daily. Many on the third team will be from Oak

Ridge UMC. What an awesome opportunity to be passionate for Jesus and share unforgettable experiences with

church family.

There are many benefits from the Guatemala Stove and Water Filter Ministry including better health, clean air, clean

water, cost savings and a reduction in deforestation. Even better, many will come to know Christ because of this

ministry.

Please be a part of this amazing ministry. You can download the application and covenant from the webpage

referenced above. The deadline for your application and $600 deposit is May 21. The total cost will be approximately

$1300 for the team fee. This fee may be reduced for church members from budgeted funds. We also ask you to help

raise the funds necessary for the Guatemalan families we serve. I urge you to contact me now to reserve your spot on

a team. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions or if you would like for me to email the forms to you.

6 Tips to Help “Spring Clean” Your Medicine Cabinet It’s that time of year again - the weather is slowly warming up and the days are getting longer! Despite what the temperature

outside may indicate, spring has officially arrived. And with the new season comes that time-honored ritual – spring cleaning.

Chances are, if you open up your medicine cabinet, you’ll find some old prescription bottles or maybe some leftover medication

that “might come in handy someday.” In actuality, those medications may have expired and may cause more harm than you

realize.

It’s important to extend spring cleaning to your medicine cabinet and here are 6 tips to get you started:

1. Check the dates. Examine everything in your medicine cabinet, including ointments, supplements and vitamins. Discard any

item that is beyond the expiration date. Many medications lose their effectiveness after the expiration date. Some may even

be toxic.

2. For prescriptions, follow the one year cut off rule. Discard any prescription medications that are more than one year old.

3. Ditch any items that have changed color, smell or taste. This includes any colors that have faded, because they may have

been exposed to too much light.

4. Discard unmarked containers. If something is no longer in its original container and cannot be identified, get rid of it. In the

future, try to always keep medications in their original containers so that you can easily recognize every medication. This

includes ointments, since these can easily be mistaken for creams.

5. Be careful about throwing out medication. Because of the potential harm to the environment, it is not recommended to

simply throw out medication or flush them down the toilet. Here’s what to do:

Place all medication in a sealable bag. If there are solid medications, add some water so they can dissolve.

Add kitty litter, coffee grounds, saw dust, or any material that mixes well and makes it unappealing for children or animals

to eat.

Seal the bag and put it in the trash.

Remove any identifying information on the prescription bottle (like the label), clean and recycle.

Your local pharmacy, police department or Drug Enforcement Agency may also be able to assist in disposing of medication in a

safe manner.

6. Consider relocating your medicine cabinet. Many people don’t realize that the bathroom cabinet is not the best place to store medication. The temperature and humidity changes that take place while the shower is running can lower the potency of your medication. Medications should be kept in a cool dry place, away from children. Consider a drawer in your dresser or a lock box in your closet.
