National Hispanic Heritage Month
The third interesting fact about the celebration of the Hispanic Heritage is:
3. The meaning of the date
Have you ever wondered why the celebration of Hispanic Heritage begins
on September 15? Well the reason is because on that day, it is the
anniversary of the independence of five Latin American countries: Costa
Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. On the other
hand, Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on September
16 and September 18.
Among other interesting things that I would like to share with you in this
article are the contributions that Hispanics have made not only to the
United States but to the whole world:
THE ROCKET. - Of Peruvian origin, Pedro Paulet is considered one of the
"parents of aeronautics". Developed the first liquid fuel engine suitable for
rockets.
CONCRETE TRASLÚCIDO. - Developed by Mexican engineers Joel Sosa
Gutiérrez and Sergio Omar Galván Cáceres. The translucent concrete
allows to lift walls more resistant and less heavy than traditional concrete,
in addition to allowing the passage of light.
ELECTRIC BRAKE. - Developed by Mexican Víctor Ochoa, using
gravitational force, he manages to reduce speed and stop a train.
THE NUMBER ZERO. - Being one of the pre-hispanic civilizations with an
advanced mathematical system, the Mayans invented the zero
approximately in the year 36 before Christ.
COLOR TELEVISION. - Developed by the Mexican scientist Guillermo
González Camarena.
CONTRACEPTIVE PILL. - Developed by Mexican chemist Luis E.
Miramontes.
These as mentioned above are just some of the many contributions that
the Hispanic community has made and I am proud to serve at Chapel Hill
UMC because it is a community of faith that is open to help and bless the
Hispanic community.

This will be an opportunity for us to celebrate her life and her service at Chapel

Words from the Pastor
Greetings! As you know, this past week, our
beloved and cherished long time member, Mary
Frances Waggoner, completed this life’s journey
and went on to eternal life with our Lord. I had
the honor of officiating her graveside service with
her family on Thursday afternoon. While this
graveside service gave opportunity for closure for
the family, we at Chapel Hill continue to grieve.
In order to bring closure for Mary Frances’ Chapel
Hill family, we are planning a ‘Celebration of
Life’ for Mary Francis during our morning
worship this coming Sunday, October 7th. Please
plan to be in attendance, and invite anyone in the
community who may have known Mary Frances.
Christian Unity.
Preaching the revival at Lake Highlands was no
easy task (4 sermons in 2 ½ days)! But it was a
joy to share God’s word with our Presbyterian
sisters and brothers. Perhaps we will be able to
have more of these ecumenical activities in the
future. When we participate in the universal
church, it reminds us that we are not alone.
GOD BLESS…….

We had 36 visitors and 20 Chapel Hill members attend our
community party this past Saturday. We wanted to thank all of
our volunteers for giving their time to host games, face
painting, food and hospitality areas. We want to give a special
thanks to Wes Freeman for being our fantastic DJ, Claudia
O’Shea and the Chapel Hill Prep PTA for loaning us their
popcorn and snow cone machine and the UMM for providing
the meal. We couldn’t have done this with without you! This
has been a wonderful opportunity to reach our neighbors. God
is so good!
CELEBRATING COMMUNITY SERVICE
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 21ST
October 21st is Laity Sunday and this year we will be “Celebrating
Community Service”. We will acknowledge the areas in which
Chapel Hill members past and present serve the community and we
will have special recognitions Mayor Robert Dye and Mayor Kevin
Falconer who now serve Farmers Branch and Carrollton respectively.
We will also recognize the work done by Fire and Police personnel to
serve our community.
To acknowledge Chapel Hill’s service to the community, we
need your help to know groups/agencies for whom you have
volunteered. For example, Metrocrest Services, Dallas (RHD) Medical
Center, a city Board or Commission, etc. We plan to list these but the
list will only be complete if you let us know. Please complete the
bulletin insert you will find this week and next week, or call or email
the church office or Jan Wooldridge with your organizations.
Please plan to come celebrate with us. Our potluck lunch that day will
be partially provided by men from Christ UMC Plano who will come
cook hamburgers and hotdogs for us. More details to follow. We
hope to see any faces celebrating with us.

SAVE THE DATE: TRUSTEES ALL CHURCH WORKDAY
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2018 9:00AM - 1:00PM
It's that time again! We need all hands on deck to help tidy up the church before the holidays.
The more who help, the sooner it will be finished, so let's all pull together and make
God's house beautiful. If one or two folks from each Sunday School class and the Thursday
night Bible study group will clean their rooms, that would be extra helpful. We need a couple of
folks to mostly dust the staff offices. This workday does NOT include the German School
South wing. After the workday, Adolpho will clean the carpeted area and strip and wax
Fellowship Hall. With all this work, we should be sparking for the events ahead!
