New Faces

Music is at central part of our ministry here at Seaside. It infuses our

worship with power and draws us in to a deeper connection with God both by teaching and by helping us to center our spirits during worship. We are blessed with many gifted musicians in our Choir, Praise Team and our numerous ensembles. But the leadership of this ministry gives it shape and sets the tone.

For more than a dozen years, Seaside's music team of Kathryn Parker and Lynn Enzor have overseen enormous growth. The Praise Team's growing repertoire and the increasing demands for accompaniment for the choir mean that the absence of even one of our leaders creates a bind. Add to that the demands on Lynn in her "other life" as a bank manager, and we began to recognize the need for a third person in Music Ministry leadership.

After more than a year of discussions and search, we are pleased to announce the addition of Janette Schroeder to our Music staff beginning May 15th. Janette joins us as Assistant Music Director for Traditional Worship. She will be playing organ as well as piano and will help with the duties of directing our choirs, handbells and other ensembles. Janette has an extensive background in music ministry and we are excited to include her in our program.

The addition of Janette will allow Lynn to focus her considerable gifts on the oversight of the praise team ministry and our 9:30 worship service. Her new title will be Assistant Music Director for Contemporary Worship. Of course Kathryn continues to capably fill her role as team leader and Minister of Music for the church. Janette will provide accompaniment and other roles at 8:00 and 11:00 each week. Of course each is capable of pinch-hitting when needed!

Thank you for what I know will be a warm welcome for Janette and for your continued support of our music ministry.

An awning was installed over the storage door to prevent swelling of the door on hot summer days.

Pavers on the sidewalk and platform areas in Apostle's Corner. This will widen the sidewalk to allow for wheelchairs and a smoother walking surface.

New platform area in the Apostle's Corner to accommodate more family members during a service.

Switching gates to new rust free gates.

June, July and August mean a little R & R around here and our choirs and ensembles need the rest!! However, don't worry... we are planning and working on new ideas for the fall! I do some of my best planning on the beach!! So, during these months, be sure to share your ideas with me or let me know if you are interested in becoming a part of our Music Ministry in the fall. Perhaps you have been considering joining the choir or playing handbells or getting out that instrument you used to play and practicing and adding your sound to our program. Now's the time to prayerfully consider your role in our Music Minstry.

Enjoy the summer and rest up for an exciting fall!

With a voice of singing, Kathryn

MINISTERY

CLASS OF 2018

Members of the Stephen Ministry class have

worked extremely hard, proving their dedication to this most important ministry. They have spent over fifty hours in training with an emphasis on providing Christian care in a confidential relationship. Seaside is blessed to have an active Stephen Ministry, having served so many since the first class in 2002. The new class will begin to serve as care givers when they are commissioned on Sunday, July 15 during the service they attend. Please celebrate them for answering God’s call to Stephen Ministry.

Stroke Talk is a support group for those who suffered a stroke or who are interested in learning about strokes. We meet the 2nd Thursday of each month at 1:30 pm. Programs and group discussions are part of our format. Please join us and share your experiences and learn more about your health.

Our next 2 meetings are

June 14th and July 12th at 1:30 pm.

What Does The Bible Say About My Dog?

Do you have questions about what Christianity has to say about animals? Will

you see Fido in heaven? Do you care deeply about animals and their welfare but are

unsure how faith connects your concern with God’s concern? Then we invite you to be a

part of a summer short-term six-week Sunday School class beginning Sunday, July 1st at either 9:30 a.m. or 11:00

a.m. in Room 222. Led by Stefanie Riley, this class will take a look at the role of Christianity in the care for animals

using a combination of Bible study, videos and messages from other leaders of the faith. If you are not already

connected to a Sunday School class, and you love animals, then this will be a great opportunity for a bit of summer

spiritual formation! There is no book for this course, but we do ask that you register online or in the Gallery so that

materials can be provided for you.

Summer Adam Hamilton Study: “Unafraid”

For anyone struggling with fear, worry or anxiety or who wonders how families

Understanding and Countering Fear; 2) Crime, Race, Terrorism and Politics; 3) Failure, Disappointing Others,

Insignificance, Loneliness; 4) Apocalypse, Change, Missing Out and Finances; 5) Aging, Illness, Dying and Fear of the

Lord. This course will be taught by our Duke Student Interns and will be offered at two different times. You have two

time options: One class will begin on Thursday, June 28th from 6:00-7:30 p.m. The other class will begin on Monday,

July 2nd from 10:00 - 11:30 a.m. Which intern will teach which class? Come to find out! The cost of the book is $15.

Pre-registration is required so we know how many books to order. Sign up online or in the Gallery.

2018 STARS June 25th-August 3rd

What’s New? 40 Students—20 each from Jessie Mae Monroe & Union Elementary will attend. Standardized planning, testing and assessments across all Summer Learning Programs (see

below). Monday afternoon the children will be split into two groups, 20 children will swim at Brunswick

Community College and 20 students will travel to The First Tee for an hour of instruction and fun at Chingale Creek.

Smaller groups of kids for each afternoon activity, rotating through a series of classes or activities. Smaller groups + more children = a need for more volunteers on Tuesdays and Thursday afternoons. Thank you to everyone who has submitted a volunteer form. Please check your heart and your calendar one more time and consider helping on Tuesdays or Thursdays. You may not realize it, but the time you spend with the kids, your example, smile, kind attention and listening ear may be the only smile and attention some of the children receive. Volunteer forms are located on the STARS table in the Fellowship Hall gathering area. Call Meg with questions. Thank You!

Summer Learning Programs Funded by The Duke Endowment To most of us at Seaside, STARS is a 6 week summer program that provides literacy help and enrichment opportunities to local rising 2nd and 3rd grade students in our community. And it is...but so much more. Since the first group of 16 STARS students spent the summer of 2014 at Seaside, and Monticello United Methodist Church, Statesville, NC. hosted their first group of students in 2013, The Duke Endowment Rural Church team recognized that these SLP’s (Summer Literacy Programs) do provide a needed resource in communities. Research has shown that children who fall short of reading goals by the end of third grade are at greater risk for either not finishing high school, or entering the justice system. The Duke Endowment (TDE) has worked with Seaside and Monticello over the past four years. Through this collaborative work and the Endowments commitment to K-3rd Grade Literacy, a set of Six Guiding Principles has been developed for Summer Literacy Programs. Both Seaside and Monticello now use these principles, along with the implementation guide, to structure our programs. STARS and Ubuntu (Monticello’s program) have agreed to act as program resources for churches who want to learn more. This summer, Fairview UMC, Thomasville, NC will offer a Summer Literacy Program to serve two local schools in their community. We had the opportunity to meet with Fairview’s team in February, along with the Ubuntu team, to share ideas, best practices and learn from The Endowment.

On July 10th, STARS will welcome for their annual visit, our Duke Endowment representative along with the Harvard consultant who works with the teaching teams in all SLP programs. In addition, clergy and lay leaders from interested churches are invited to visit on July 10th to see an SLP in session. During these last weeks of preparation and throughout the summer, please continue to keep

the teachers, volunteers, families, students and leadership for all summer programs in your prayers. Pray for God’s continued guidance, strength, and wisdom; safe and caring environments where God’s love is felt through all of those who serve.
