We are in the season of Lent, a time to reflect, renew, strengthen and begin our relationship with Jesus Christ. I shared last week a model that you might want to consider as far as some spiritual prac-tices. I want to share that again for you to consider. I have enjoyed digging into the Old Testament and seeking to understand and share with you in-sights about worship from God’s instructions. Worship in private and worship in public are both key and vital practices that I pray you will deepen on our Lenten Jour-ney. See you in worship. In Christ’s Love, Ted

Your Mission team to Africa in July of 2012 will be Galen Eberhart, Lydia Jansen and Ted Jansen. We will be traveling to the Kafakumba Center to partner with the Vances and Enrights to support the Family Camp and the other ministries. The team appreciates your prayer support and financial support as they build funds to go on behalf of Christ and First Church. Go “Bananas” Sunday was held on Sunday, February 26 at both services. A love of-fering was given to support the Africa Mission Team. If you would like to give to this team you can write your check to First UMC and put on the Envelope, “Africa Team.”

Epworth Forest Legacy Campaign Update
Our youth enjoyed the new facility at Epworth Forest on July 3rd thru 8th last summer. You have seen pictures and heard the stories of how their camping experi-ence has changed their lives. The legacy continues as the new facilities are being used for year round retreats for all ages. This summer our youth will fill both of the new lodges. Our church has pledged $75,000 as major tribute gift and will be honored with a plaque in the common area of one of the lodges once our pledge has been fulfilled. Many thanks go out to those who have pledged and contributed towards this gift. As of Dec. 31, 2011, the remaining balance of our pledge is $23,133. Additional pledges are needed and may be made and paid through our church to go toward our total church pledge. Individuals who pay their pledges through our church will have individual tribute opportunities. The tribute allows the honoring or remembering of a special event or person in the donor’s life. It is an important way for donors to share their excitement, history and vision for Epworth Forest. A Memory Tree will be placed in Freeland House lobby temporarily, and then it will be moved to the lobby of the new Conference Center upon its completion. Donors to the Epworth Forest Project will have the opportunity to place a leaf on the Memory Tree in honor of or in memory of a special person, family or group. The Path of Faith is a special path of bricks, which will eventually surround the Jesus Statue when it is moved to its new location. Until then, the path of bricks will be laid just outside the current auditorium. A special dedication is being planned in June 2012 for the brick and leaf tributes that have been received. The tribute opportunities are:
PATH OF FAITH BRICKS: $500 per brick MEMORY TREE: $1,000 Bronze Leaf $2,500 Silver Leaf $5,000 Gold Leaf
(The leaves and bricks will allow for 30 characters, including spaces.) If you have any questions about the twelve-million dollar project that will be able to
bring more youth and adults to Christ through the facilities at Epworth Forest, please
contact anyone on our church Legacy Campaign Committee: Jerry and Paula Yoder,
