"A PEOPLE C ALLED BY GOD"

Join us each Sunday morning at 9:00 and 11:00 am as we embark

on an increasingly crucial discussion of what it means to be the

church, a people called by God, as the church's role in NorthAmerican culture continues to shift. What was our beginning like,

what's happened over the past 1,700 years, and what clues do we

have about the future shape and role of the church in our culture?

Come be a part of the conversation which includes:

Support sought for Medical Mission to Honduras

For the fourth year in a row, Aldersgate ’s Fay Painter, joined this year by

Kathryn Reid, will spend a week in June in the impoverished, remote

mountainous region of central Honduras, bringing life-saving medicine

and health care to children and families. The team of 16 people will

serve 1200+ people with vision care, dental care, medical care, fluoride

treatments, and anti-parasite medicine. Children needing surgery and

ongoing care will be identified and served through an extended care

program and surgical teams.

Fay and Kathryn’s mission trip is with the Friends of Barnabas

Foundation in Midlothian, Virginia, which was started 15 years ago by a

United Methodist minister, the Reverend Linwood Cook. Fay is the co-

leader of the June team. The cost is $2,000 per person, and the team

needs to raise an additional $7,500 to purchase medicine and medical

supplies.

Please consider a gift to sponsor her trip. Checks may be made payable

to AUMC and write “Honduras mission trip” in the memo line. Thank

you, and God bless you.

Our Stephen Ministry is Growing

AUMC’s class of four Stephen Ministers completed their training on May

19 and will be commissioned at both worship services on May 22. The

50 hours of training is broken down into twenty 2 ½ hour sessions on

Chrisan caregiving, including general topics such as listening,

disncvely Chrisan caring, maintaining boundaries, condenality, as

well as topics on specic situaons, such as ministering to those

experiencing grief and caring for people during hospitalizaon.

As members of our congregaon, you can support Stephen Ministry in a

variety of ways:

• Pray for our new Stephen Ministers - Linda Ausn, Kathy Morse,

Charity Reiter, and Mary Seymour, as well as our current Stephen

Ministers as they condenally meet with their care receivers every

week.

• Help idenfy people who might benet from a Stephen Ministry

relaonship. If you see a friend, coworker, neighbor, relave, or

someone else who could use some extra Chrisan care, tell that person

about our Stephen Ministry and get permission to refer him or her to

Pastor Sco Davis, our Stephen Leader who coordinates referrals.

• Be open to accepng care from a Stephen Minister if you are

going through a me of need. Condenality is a cornerstone of

Stephen Ministry. Stephen Ministers don’t reveal anything their care

receiver says, and don’t even tell anyone who their care receiver is. You

may be assigned to a Stephen Minister from another church in the

Charloesville area.

Stephen Leader Billie Campbell, [email protected] or 975 -
