promise and give you the right words to

say. So, go and share Christ with others,

and watch God do His work!

Pastor Owen Stricklin

CHARGE CONFERENCE FOR 2012

Rev. Stephen Hartsfield served as the

Presiding Elder for the annual Charge Conference on Sept. 18th.

The order of business was as follows: • Members for Removal – We have none this

year. • 2013 Clergy Compensation – The salaries

for both our Pastors were approved.

• Connectional Giving – We anticipate that

we will meet 100% of our apportionments for 2012 and 2013.

• Finance Report – We have outstanding

debt due to the FUMC Foundation and

MainStreet Community Bank, but do not

anticipate difficulty in meeting these debt payments. Our financial records have

been audited and found satisfactory. • Lay Leadership Nominations – Phil

Goldthwait was elected as Chairperson of

the Church Council, Judy Good as Church

Treasurer, and Jeanne Fieser as Financial

Secretary. Because we now have 2 ap-

pointed Pastors, we will have 2 delegates

to the Annual Conference – Dave Dayton

and Phil Goldthwait. Ellie Freund was

elected as Lay Leader and Recording

Secretary. New members elected to the

Staff Parish Relations Committee for a 3-year term were Kathy Williams, Candy

Soucek, and Donna Then. New Finance Committee members (3 years) are C.I. Mil-

ler, Stephanie Weaver, and Ryan Gorman,

and Board of Trustees members (3 years)

are Tyrene Townsley, Barry Olson, and Terry

Do not worry about what to say or how to

say it. At that time you will be given what to

say, for it will not be you speaking, but the

Spirit of your Father speaking through you.

Matthew 10:19b-20

Success is defined in many ways. But

regardless of how we define it, we want

some type of memento, something to

show for that success. In business, it’s

framing that first dollar of profit. When

fishing, it’s the picture of that trophy

catch displayed on the wall. And spiritu-

ally, it’s the memory of that first person

we are able to lead to Christ.

We can dream about success all day

long, but we’ve got to take action in or-

der to achieve it. The entrepreneur can

have the most genius business plan in

the world. But if no action is taken to

work that plan, it’ll never be a success.

The fisherman can have the best

boat, the most up-to-date tracking de-

vices, and the most tricked out lures

and baits. But, if he never casts his

line, he’ll never make that trophy catch.

The same is true in our spiritual jour-

ney. We have the greatest Spokesper-

son in the world on our side, ready to

speak through us to people who need

to know Jesus Christ. But, if we never

open our mouths to tell our story, we

won’t be able to experience the ulti-

mate joy of seeing them step over the

line of faith.

When the opportunity presents itself

to share your story with someone, you

don’t have to worry about saying the

perfect words. You also don’t have to

quote Scripture verbatim or deliver a

mini-sermon on the spot. You only need

to trust that when you boldly take ac-

tion to speak, God will be true to His

FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH OF DELAND OCTOBER, 2012

Before closing the meeting, Rev. Harts-

field reported on the groundbreaking he

attended for the Madison Youth Ranch.

This will be a second campus for the Flori-

da United Methodist Children’s Home,

and $1,000,000 has already been donat-

ed, as well as the 320 acres of land on

which it is being built.

ADMINISTRATIVE COUNCIL REPORT

The Administrative Council met on Sept.

18th after the Charge Conference was ad-

journed. The Murder Mystery Night was at-

tended by about 160 people and was con-

sidered a big success with great food and

great fun. It is hoped that the groups that

worked together to solve the “whodunit” will meet again to enjoy the fun and fellow-

ship they shared at church.

Teeter Mauldin reported that Prayer

Time on Wednesday afternoons at 5:00 is

going great, and there have been record-breaking numbers of people attending the

past few weeks.

Ted Wolfe gave an overview of how

Mercy Hour is organized, and also stated

that attendance is increasing there as well. This last week there were 47 guests who

were cared for by the 20 or so volunteers.

Mark Bitner reported on the Youth, say-

ing that he is also seeing growth in the

numbers of young people involved in the Wednesday night and Sunday afternoon

programs. He told about the effort to in-

volve more of the “unchurched” by sched-uling Parents vs. Students activities for such

things as volleyball and ultimate Frisbee.

The Youth will have a training session in

Oct. in order to participate as ushers, greet-

ers, and liturgists in our worship services.

They are also helping with the chair tear-

down after the contemporary service eve-

ry 3rd Sunday of the month. This was the last meeting for Josh Smith

before leaving for his new position at a

church in Buckhead, Georgia. The Council

Medlin. The Committee on Nominations

and Leadership Development will have

John Watson, Wendy Highland, and Judy

West serving for the next 3 years, Joe Roof

will be the Interpreter of Connectional Giv-

ing, and Jim Bernard will again be our Chil-

dren’s Home Representative. • Recommendation of Candidates for Or-

dained Ministry – Jonathan Gaylord was

approved for Continuation of Candidacy

for Ordained Ministry. He is presently serv-

ing as a local pastor at a church in south

Georgia. • Lay Servant Ministry – Doan Moorman has

completed Basic course work as Local Church Lay Servant. Lois Fritch and Ted

Wolfe have completed Advanced course work and are Certified Lay Servants.

• Missional Vital Signs Discussion of Goals –

Addressing the statistics as reported in our

previous Charge Conference, we have en-

couraging signs for the future. • Passionate Worship – We have experi-

enced an increase in our attendance dur-

ing the past six months, and we anticipate

a larger increase by the end of the year,

due in part to our new extension ministry. • Radical Hospitality – We have already ex-

ceeded our goal for members joining by

Profession of Faith (a sign of a healthy

church). • Intentional Discipling – Although we have

not reached the goal yet this year, with

additional classes being offered and small

groups being formed, we will definitely ex-ceed our expectations.

• Salty Service – The difficulty of this goal is

not in the activity, but in the reporting. We

have yet to develop a plan where we can

get this information accurately. • Extravagant Generosity – We are on course

to reach or exceed our goal. At the end of

2012, we expect over $1.2 million to be giv-

en to ministries and mission of the local

church.

expressed appreciation for the devotion

he has shown over the last 3 years, and

Josh said that he is confident that the plan-

ning teams will continue to lead our wor-

ship as well as ever. Barbara Anderson and

Lindsey Iverson will fill in for him on an inter-

im basis

Pastor Ben Collins reported that he has

been very busy with the groups of young

adults he’s been working with. There is an

average of about 25 members attending

his worship service on Sunday nights, and

he continues to network with Stetson stu-

dents (having “Taco Tuesdays” and

coaching a triathlon team) and leading

women’s study groups in the spring and

fall. He is working with his group to engage them in service projects in the community

at the Neighborhood Center and for find-

ing housing for veterans. Dave Joseph was

introduced as the Extension Ministry repre-

sentative to the Administrative Council, and he updated the group on the renova-

tions to the 111 S. Alabama property. He

was happy to report that the Fire Marshall

gave the building a designation as a Wor-

ship Center, so we won’t have to install a fire sprinkler system.

Our Count Me In chairpersons, Tim and

Connie Schroyer, stated that the church

has received over 90% of the pledges that

were made at the beginning of the capital funds campaign, and they are confident

that we will reach 100% by the end of the 3

year period next February. They thanked

everyone for their support. An outline for

preparations for the Fall Festival was given,

and samples of publicity fliers were handed

out. Saturday, October 27th is the big day,

so plan to help out as much as you can. Kelly Crump sent a report, reminding

everyone that the Pumpkin Patch will need

volunteers once pumpkins arrive on Sept.

30th. She has groups with about 500 chil-

dren scheduled for visits already this year. Barbara Stricklin addressed the

council, stating that the Impact studies on

Wed. nights was going well with over 150

people attending each week. She has 40

reservations for people attending the

Women of Faith event in Orlando, and

she announced that Trunk or Treat will be

held on Wed. Oct. 24th.

The UMM will participate in the

Christmas Parade on Dec. 1st. Don West

said that the parade may be changed to

the daytime instead of the nighttime. The

UMW is ordering pecans for their holiday

sale which is their major fundraiser for Mis-

sions.

Pastor Owen reported that a new

Custodian, Jose Ayala, has been hired. A

part-time Night Custodian position still

needs to be filled. He updated the coun-cil on preparations for the new Capital

Funds campaign staring in March of 2013.

Pete Bissinger will be the overall Manager,

Terry Medlin has accepted the position of

Project Manager, and Chris and Michelle Maikisch will head the Marketing cam-

paign. Pastor Owen also informed the

group that Mr. I.C. Brooks will be celebrat-

ing his 100th birthday in church with nu-

merous members of his family in attend-ance for worship. Now that’s something

to celebrate!

Our Best Wishes

to Josh and Lisa Smith

as they leave DeLand

and begin a new ministry

in Atlanta, Georgia.

Josh will be the Director

of Contemporary Music

at the Northside United

Methodist Church.

FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH OF DELAND OCTOBER, 2012

Report to the Congregation on the

Newly Refurbished Hettie Austin Room from Maxine Doughton

September 30th was a day to celebrate the new look as we entered the church.

To recap the project:

Every effort was made to utilize items we already possessed: • The sofa and chairs were reupholstered, using com-

mercial grade, USA-made fabrics; • The red carpet that was removed is being reused in the LEC and Youth areas;

• The desk and Hettie Austin tables were brought over from the LEC Parlor;

• We also recruited our own church volunteers. Don West and John Trenholm spent countless hours re-arranging the pictures, installing the spot light, ap-plying the door trim, and Harley Burger provided the top for the round table — just to name a part of the myriad of support work needed to make the pro-ject a reality; and

• Poppy Flack’s interior design expertise made it all possible.

• I hope all of you feel as honored as I do to help make God’s house feel warm and welcoming to first United Methodist members and visitors.

“Do all the good things you can by all the means you can.”

John Wesley

FIRST UNITED

METHODIST

STUDENT

MINISTRY

overflowuth

We have had a great month in the

youth department. God is really moving

amongst the next generation! We had sev-

eral opportunities for fun and service dur-

ing the month of September. We expect

the month of October to be filled with

pumpkins and all things related to pump-kins.

They arrived on Sunday September

30th, but this fundraiser takes up the whole

month of October. This is the biggest fund-

raiser of the year for the youth, many put all of their sweat and hard work into partici-

pating at the pumpkin patch to raise mon-

ey for the various trips and events that we

have as a youth group. If you haven’t par-

ticipated before or haven’t done it much, I encourage you to get involved with it. Not

only is it a lot of fun, but many families are

able to raise enough money for the child

to go on whole trips so that it doesn’t have

to come out of your pocket. Are you in High School? Do you like

having fun? Come check out our 2nd fifth

quarter after the football game on Friday

October 12th. This is the biggest one of the

year it is the all popular muck fest! Fifth quarters are for ALL high school

students in the area, and it is put on by a group of youth pastors from churches all

around the DeLand area. Muck fest takes

place at Stetson Baptist church every year.

Another event put on by that same group of community youth pastors is Dis-

placed. This event is to raise awareness

amongst teens for homelessness. We

have the opportunity to sleep outside in

cardboard boxes and then the next day

will be filled with different ways to serve

the homeless of our community as well as

other events to open student’s eyes to

the compassion for others. This event will

take place on Sunday, November 11th

and roll into Monday, November 12th

which is a no school day.

2 Meetings in October!

UMM will meet on Thursday, Oct. 18 at 6:30 in

the LEC for their regular monthly meeting.

On Thursday, Oct. 25, the District UMM will

meet at Edgewater UMC.

Call the church office or sign up for dinner on the Sunday bulletin for either of these meet-

ings.

Gift/Cash Cards are available to order and we do have a few in stock. Plan ahead for

Christmas. Parents of youth needing financial help for mission trips next summer should

check with us on how we can help now, not next spring!!!!
