“What a wondrous time is spring, when all the trees are budding. The birds began to sing; the flowers start their blooming. That’s how it is with God’s love, once you’ve experienced it; you want to sing, its fresh like spring, you want to pass it on.”
UMH#572 PASS It ON, verse 2
As we celebrate the renewal and revitalization of spring, may we also recharge our commitment to Christ and our church. This is a good time to examine your faith journey; and ask, as John Wesley did on a regular basis of his flock, “How is it with your soul?” Do you need some revitalization? Are you spending time with God - in prayer and in study? As our summer gets busy, and some of our programs take a summer break, I encourage you to continue to meet together in Christian study, fellowship and service, and find ways to pass on that wondrous love that we have received through Christ our risen Lord.
This summer we will be finalizing the last stages of turning the parsonage into an office and conference center. We will also continue to work towards the revitalization and renovation of our church buildings. The hope is that the final touches can be done on the kitchen with a new hot water heater, a closet that encloses the hot water heater and mini-blinds on the windows. Once that is completed, we will move on to the next phase of the renovation plan.
June 13 – June 17 we will be holding Vacation Bible School with the goal of spreading the Gospel to the children in our community. There will be many ways to help support this effort – we will need teachers’ assistants, kitchen/snack helpers, and most of all your prayers. Watch for signup sheets and information on requests for help and for donations.
June 22 – 25 our lay delegates and I will travel to Burlingame, California for the Annual Conference for the

Definition of “Old” Reporters interviewing a 104-year-old woman: "And what do you think is the best thing about being 104?" the reporter asked. She simply replied, "No peer pressure."
An elderly woman decided to prepare her will and told her preacher she had two final requests. First, she wanted to be cremated, and second, she wanted her ashes scattered over Wal-Mart. "Wal-Mart?" the preacher exclaimed. "Why Wal-Mart?" "Then I'll be sure my daughters visit me twice a week"

HUGS "A hug can cheer you when you are blue, A hug can say, "I love you so". Or "Gee! I hate to see you go".
A hug is, "Welcome back again! And "Great to see you" Or "Where have you been?
A hug can soothe a small child’s pain, And bring a rainbow after rain.
The hug! There’s just no doubt about it, We scarcely could survive without it.
A hug delights and warms and charms, It must be why God gave us arms.
Hugs are great for fathers and mothers, Sweet for sisters, swell for brothers. And chances are some favorite aunts Love them better than potted plants.
Kittens crave them; puppies love them, Heads of state are not above them.
A hug can break the language barrier, And make the dullest day seem merrier. No need to fret about the store of 'em The more you give, the
more there are of 'em
So stretch those arms without delay I'm giving you a hug..............today! Submitted by Amy Deffenbaugh
(Con’t. from Pg. 1) Methodist Church. This is a meeting of all the clergy and lay delegates in the California Nevada region. It is a time of spiritual renewal, sharing of ideas and also the time to hear what the greater body of the United Methodist Church is doing. May you find joy in the wonders of spring and in the joy of God’s love; and I pray that joy overflows to the point where you just have to pass it on to those around you. Grace and Peace,
Pastor Betty

Undeniable Facts of Life
As we grow older, and hence wiser, we slowly realize that wearing a $300.00 or $30.00 watch - - - - - they both tell the same time... Whether we carry a $300.00 or $30.00 wallet/handbag - - - - - - - the amount of money inside is the same; Whether we drink a bottle of $300 or $10 wine - - - - - - - the hangover is the same; Whether the house we live in is 300 or 3000 sq. ft. - - - - - - loneliness is the same. You will realize, your true inner happiness does not come from the material things of this world. Whether you fly first or economy class, if the plane goes down - - - - - - -you go down with it... Therefore….I hope you realize, when you have mates, buddies and old friends, brothers and sisters, who you chat with, laugh with, talk with, have sing songs with, talk about north-south-east-west or heaven & earth ..... That is true happiness!!
Five Undeniable Facts of Life:
1. Don't educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be Happy. So when they grow up they
will know the value of things not the price. 2. Best awarded words in London... "Eat your food as your medicines. Otherwise you have to eat medicines as your food." 3. The One who loves you will never leave you because even if there are 100 reasons to give up he or she will find one reason to hold on. 4. There is a big difference between a human being and being human. Only a few really understand it. 5. You are loved when you are born. You will be loved when you die. In between, you have to manage! If you just want to Walk Fast, Walk Alone! But if you want to Walk Far, Walk Together!
Six Best Doctors in the World
1. Sunlight 2. Rest 3. Exercise 4. Diet 5. Self Confidence and 6. Friends Maintain them in all stages of life and enjoy healthy life.
