Inside this Issue:
Seeking Vibrancy
Vibrancy is a word that I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. I’ve been thinking about it
for my own life, but also for our church. What does vibrancy look like? Well, it involves
energy. I think it involves posi�ve energy described with words like joy, excitement,
expecta�on, and warmth. I think vibrancy is an important marker within life and com-
munity, and I think we need to strive for and seek a#er vibrancy within our individual
lives as followers of Jesus, but also within our church life, as a collec�ve group of be-
lievers who seek to worship, learn, and serve together here in Luray.
I was moved as I read an ar�cle before Christmas about a plan to close 10 United
Methodist churches in and around Harrisburg, PA. You can view the ar�cle by clicking
this link if you’re reading this online: h0ps://www.pennlive.com/news/2018/12/
dwindling-a0endance-and-costly-upkeeps-of-old-buildings-lead-to-planned-closure-of-
10-united-methodist-churches.html
The ar�cle talks about how at one point these churches were vibrant, ac�ve, and en-
gaged with their community. However, over �me they have become overwhelmed
with declining par�cipa�on, soaring costs for maintenance and upkeep of aging build-
ings, and they are just unable to go on as they once had. In some ways it is very sad,
but in other ways I am deeply thankful for their courage, honesty, and faithfulness. If
you view the ar�cle you can see pictures of some beau�ful places of worship, and you
can imagine how ac�ve the churches had been. But there is something important here
that you might easily miss….the conference, and the churches are deciding to do this.
They are planning to have their last worship service on Easter of 2019, and then to
form a new church – Impact Church, where their mission will be to connect and en-
gage the people of Harrisburg. They are planning a resurrec�on of sorts. The people
connected with these churches will certainly be affected by this change in profound
ways, but most of them can see that in order to reach people, this kind of change is
needed.
As we enter into a new year, I wonder what kind of changes are needed in us, and in
our church family. What kind of courageous choices will we be challenged to make in
this year? How will we embrace the opportunity to go deeper with Jesus, and go wider
to reach more people for Jesus in our neighborhood? Let’s seek vibrancy in this New
Year, allowing the light of Jesus to pierce thru us and thru all that we do in His name.
I’ll see you Sunday!
Grace & Peace,
Erich

All Things New
Has someone you loved drifted away from you?
What a perfect time to make “all things new”
Instead of blaming others for situations that unfold
It’s time for us to check ourselves to determine if we’re carrying our load
Our Bible assures us plainly of the path we should pursue
When Christ stretched out His hands for us to make all things new
So my friends have courage and cast away that heart of stone
Forgive yourself plus the other person and discover you have grown
Christ died on a cruel cross for me and also for you
The very reason he gave his life was to make “All Things New”
Walton L. Gordon
Thank you all so much for the Gi4 Cards to our College Students.
We have heard many thank you’s and there are also Thank You
notes that are posted in the Elevator Lobby!
Your generosity is beyond appreciated!
JANUARY LURAY UNITED METHODIST CHURCH PAGE 4
Online Giving Has Arrived!
Luray UMC has contracted with Vanco Payment Systems to pro-
vide the ability for members and guests to make contribu�ons
to our mission and work through online giving. To provide this
ability, Vanco charges us $10 per month and 45 cents per trans-
ac�on. In addi�on, there is a transac�ons fee charged for each
dona�on—described in more detail below.
To get started, you will need to create an online account with
Vanco. There are two ways to do this.
On Your Smartphone The first is to use your smartphone. Use an Apple iPhone or
Android device to navigate to the appropriate app “store”—
Apple’s iTunes or Google Play. Once there, search for “Give
Plus Church.” The app you want looks like this:
A#er you download the app, you will create a user-ID, your
email address is used, and a password. Then you will iden�fy
how you want to make your dona�ons.
There are two ways to give through electronic giving. One is by
allowing Vanco to create an electronic transac�on to take mon-
ey from any checking or savings account from any bank. To use
this method, you will navigate to “Account Profile”, “Payment
Methods” by touching the “menu” icon on the top le# of the
screen—it looks like three parallel lines. You then touch the “+”
in the upper right corner of the screen and then select “Add
New Checking/Savings Account” and fill in the appropriate infor-
ma�on. You will need the rou�ng number of your bank and
your account number and make sure you indicate whether it is a
checking or savings account. Then, press save. You can add as
many different accounts as you like and choose among them.
The other way to give is with a credit or debit card. You follow
the same steps as above except that you will select “Add New
Credit/Debit Card” and fill in the appropriate informa�on, in-
cluding the card number, expira�on date and ccv number from
the back. You can add as many cards as you like too!
Once you have set up the method of payment, when you next
enter the app, you will presented with the “Dona�on” screen.
At present the main dona�on categories are “General Fund”,
“Debt Re�rement Fund” and “Communion Rail Offering.” For
the Christmas season there also are categories for “Christmas
PoinsePas” and “Staff Gi#.” For each you enter the
amount to donate and the means of payment—one of the
accounts you have set up.
Lastly is the issue of the transac�on fee. For each online
bank account transac�on, Vanco charges a fee of 1%. For
each credit/debit card transac�on, Vanco charges a fee of
2.75%. You are given the opportunity to increase your
gi# by the amount of the charged fee. For example, sup-
pose you give $100 to the General Fund, purchase a poin-
sePa for $10 and give $15 for staff gi#s on your credit
card. You are charged $125. If you do not choose to in-
crease your gi#, you will have a dona�on recorded as
$125. The church will get $121.56 and Vanco will subtract
$3.44 in processing fees. If you decide to increase your
gi#, you will be charged 2.75% more and your total
charge will be $128.44. In the first case the Financial Sec-
retary will record your dona�on as $125. In the second
case your dona�on will be recorded as $128.44. In other
words, you are given credit for the gross amount of your
dona�on—what you give plus the transac�on fee wheth-
er you decide to cover the fee or not.
From the Church Web Site The second method is to use the link from the Church’s
web site, www.lurayumc.org On the web site you will see
a “bu0on” that says “eGiving”. The bu0on is blue and is
found in the banner sec�on of each web page below the
Flame and Cross. Once you press the bu0on you will be
connected to our giving page at Vanco Payment Systems.
Presently, our page looks like this. You will either create a
new account or log on with the same creden�als you cre-
ated for the smartphone app. You have one account with
the same userid and password. You then either set up
the payment methods like you did on the smartphone
app or simply press con�nue. At this point you will have
the op�on of choosing the payment method and choosing
whether or not to offset the processing fees.
One difference between the web page shown above and
the app is the treatment of the Christmas PoinsePas. On
JANUARY LURAY UNITED METHODIST CHURCH PAGE 5
the web page, you select the num-
ber of poinsePas you wish to pur-
chase and the price is set at $10
for you. If you purchase poinseP-
as on the app, you must compute
the total amount you will pay ($10
each �mes the number you want).
Other than that, the func�on of
the two methods is iden�cal—at
least it seems to be so far.

Faith – Hope – Love In Action
We have a special year before us, the United Methodist Women are celebrating 150 years turning faith, hope and love in action on behalf of women, children and youth.
During the months of January and February we are joining with Girl Scout Troop 40274 (Leader: Heather Sours; Berkley Bennett and Lauren Sours are two of the members) to create a “Welcome Home” basket for a CHOICES client and her family as they leave the shelter. There will be a clipboard going around. Take a moment and sign up to contribute an item.
Ladies, you are also encouraged to sign a Pledge to Missions card this month or in February and return to Alice Gray, our Unit Treasurer.
UMW Officers for 2019-2020: President-Elly Hakel; Vice President-Cathy Whittle; Secretary-Faith Carlson and Treasurer-Alice Gray.
Pledge to Missions
We come together to celebrate and appreciate the heritage of United Methodist Women. We follow in the footsteps of women who transformed the world be-cause of their commitment to women, children and youth. When they saw a need, an injustice or an opportunity to speak out on behalf of those who had been silenced, they took action. We also, look to the future and the role each of us plays in making a Pledge to Missions for 2019 ; as we put faith, hope and love into action for the years ahead. We follow a long line of women from local units like ours and their passion for mission.
Alice Gray and Elly Hakel will have available Pledge Cards/envelopes. You can choose to make a one-time pledge for the year or give monthly to the UMW. Thank you for your commitment to serve women, children and youth in our country and around the world.

Highlights From the District Newsle.er:
The Council of Bishops has called a Special Session of the General
Conference of The United Methodist Church to be held February
23- 26, 2019, at The Dome, part of the America’s Center Conven-
�on Com-plex in St. Louis, Missouri. The purpose will be to act on a
report from the Council of Bishops based on the recommenda�ons
of the Commission on a Way Forward. The 32-member Commission
was appointed to exam-ine in The Book of Discipline concerning
human sexuality and exploring op�ons to strengthen the unity of
the church. Resources about this special session are avail-able on
the Virginia Conference website at
h.ps://www.vaumc.org/GC2019 This includes the archived
livesteam from the September 26 Q & A session featuring Bishop
Sharma Lewis, Rev. Tom Berlin, and Ms. Martha Stokes, direct link:
h.ps://livestream.com/VAUMC/ COWFQA Links to the three pro-
posed plans: h.ps://www.vaumc.org/document.doc? id=3289
Conversa0ons on “A Way Forward” for United Methodism:
On Sunday, February 3rd and again February 10th, there will be
presenta�ons & discussions on “The Commission on a Way For-
ward” and the General Conference discussion on human sexuality.
Both mee�ngs will be at 4pm at Asbury UMC-Harrisonburg co-
hosted by Pastor Adam Blagg of O0erbein Church and Pastor Steve
Hay of Asbury Church. The mee0ngs will be in room 300, also called
Slaven Hall.
On February 3rd, the presenta�on will be about the op�ons and
the decisions before the General Conference and some of the po-
ten�al consequences of the plans. There will be opportuni�es for
ques�ons and discussions. The first mee�ng will focus more on the
ins�tu�onal ques�ons.
On February 10th, the presenta�on will be about the theological
issues raised by the topic of human sexuality. The values informing
the three plans will be li#ed up and brief reflec�ons on Biblical/
theological approached will be offered. Again, there will be oppor-
tuni�es for ques�ons and discussions around the tables. This sec-
ond mee�ng will focus more on the personal ques�ons.
All are invited to join in both mee0ngs on the first two Sundays of
February, at Asbury UMC.
