Hayes Barton Baptist Church

I read an article recently about three doctors who lost their lives while providing medical assistance in the Central African Republic. The doctors belonged to

an organization of independent physicians known as Doctors Without Borders (DWB). According to their charter, “DWB provides assistance to populations in distress, to victims of natural or man-made disasters, and to victims of armed conflict. They do so irrespective of race, religion, creed, or political convictions.” In practice, these medical doctors risk their lives to provide needed care to at-risk populations in third-world countries, which are often in political conflict or under the duress of natural disaster.

As I read the article my mind wandered to the theological meaning contained within their sacrifice. Their unconditional treatment of those in need reminded me of Jesus’ non-judgmental ministry of healing in the New Testament. Jesus didn’t ask many questions or draw boundary lines: He healed and He loved. The writer of the article didn’t indicate the doctors’ religious preference or faith; but what could be more Christ-like than risking one’s life by offering the work of one’s life for another? Jesus reminds us in John 15:13, “No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” How tragic that a beautiful act of love ended in such a horrific way. All too often, that is the way of the world.

Then I found myself asking this question: given the opportunity to utilize my God-given gifts and talents in that kind of setting, would I be willing to risk my life to meet the dire spiritual needs of others? Would I be willing to take an adventure of risks, challenges, and unforeseen obstacles with little or no extrinsic reward? I believe that’s a difficult question for anyone to answer. It’s a soul searching question worth considering.

Along a similar (but entirely youth group friendly) vein, in July of this summer 41 (yes, 41!) Hayes Barton Baptist Church youth and adults will adventure to Belmopan, Belize, for a week of mission work, praising God and building friendships. One week earlier, 18 youth and adults will participate in a mission trip to the inner city of Charlotte, NC, through Passport Camps. While neither of these settings is comparable to a “Doctors Without Borders” experience, these two groups are sacrificing time, energy, and self to share God’s love with folks in physical and spiritual need.

The Belize team will paint a sanctuary, lead a Vacation Bible School sports camp, help to construct bunkhouses at a Christian retreat center, worship, play games, fellowship around the table, make new friends, and be the presence of Christ to another. The Passport Charlotte team will join 300 other youth from across the Southeast for a week of missions, worship, games, and discipleship growth. Both mission teams will work hard, but they will also have a lot of fun in the name of Christ!

Summertime is typically down-time in the church. That’s understandable. On any given Sunday this time of year, there are large

numbers of us on vacation. That’s good! Everyone needs a chance to get away. But not from the Lord. That’s why we’re promoting at Hayes Barton Baptist Church this summer a wide-ranging series of opportunities we’re calling “Adventures in Faith.”

Adventures in Worship Our summer series in worship will follow our “Adventures in Faith” theme and will focus on some of the great stories and characters of the Old Testament. Sermons will be given by David Hailey, Kristen Muse, and David With. We’ll also have some testimonies from our Adventures in Reading.

Adventures in Reading There’s no better time in the year to relax with a good book than summer. That’s why we are suggesting 3 great books for all of us to read. All of these books are readily available in bookstores, libraries, Amazon, and even in Kindle edition.

June– In His Steps by Charles Sheldon. With over 30 million copies sold, this Christian classic has been inspiring and challenging readers to a spiritual adventure for over a century.

July– Small Things with Great Love: Adventures in Loving Your Neighbor. In this 2011 book author Margot Starbuck invites us to choose the adventure that fits who we are in authentically loving those around us. Featuring plenty of stories and hilarity from Margot’s own life, this is a book that will open your eyes to the people around you and the huge impact you can have on them.

August– The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom. Experience the riveting story of how a middle-aged Dutch watchmaker became a heroine of the Resistance, a survivor of Hitler’s death camps, and one of the most remarkable evangelists of the twentieth century.

Adventures in Prayer Each month this summer we will publish an Adventures in Faith Devotional Guide. Each brochure will feature suggested scripture readings, prayer prompts, and space for you and your family to record some of the “wonders God has shown you” on your journey.

Let’s Go on an Adventure in Faith! by David Hailey

Share Your Adventure! Don’t forget to take some pictures along the way. Whether you go abroad or just out into your backyard, email your pictures to us at hbbc@hbbc.org, or even better, post them to our HBBC Facebook page or tweet them to us @HBBC_Raleigh, and we will print them out and display them on our Adventures in Faith wall in the FLC corridor. There will even be prizes at the end of the summer for the best “selfies” submitted. Bring back a bulletin from another church and we’ll post it, too.

I am so thankful that creation was not just a one time event, but that God continues to create and sustain His works daily and that WE are to be co-creators with Him. You and I, co-creators with God!! Stop and think about that for

a moment. How does that make you feel? What are the possibilities for you and for others?

When God created man, He said that it was not good for man to be alone, to live in isolation. God created us to live a life with, for, and in relation to others. God created us to be in community, and we are most “alive” when we live into this in humble service to one another. “True service is much more than something we do - it is who we are created to be. It is more than an activity, it is a way of life. True service is a life-style for a lifetime.” The discipline of service is one of the most vital ways that we can reflect God to our world.

How have others contributed to the strength of your life in God? How do you contribute to others? When you think about the many ways you have been blessed by others throughout your life, was Vacation Bible School a part of that? This summer we will have the opportunity to bless the lives of others and to have our lives blessed, as we do the blessing, through Vacation Bible School.

“WHO are YOU listening to?” is our theme with these words from Isaiah 55:3 to guide us, “Incline your ear, and come to me; listen, so that you may live.” Children (and adults) will be reminded of the importance of listening to Jesus and the sounds of God’s love. They will be a part of the Bible stories each day in our Bible Drama Times, create one-of-a-kind tee shirts, grow their hearts for missions through our mission projects for PLM Families Together, learn new songs to sing God’s praises, enjoy games of all kinds, and support Grow Our Kids with their canned goods offerings.

There are many ways that everyone can be a part of VBS. You can donate fruit cups, applesauce, or bottles of water. You can go online and see the many opportunities to volunteer at http://tinyurl.com/VBS2014 or email Betsy Patterson at betsymarkham@hotmail.com. You can invite children in your neighborhood/school to come and go online to register them at http://www.hbbc.net and click on Children’s Ministry; then click VBS Registration 2014. You can give canned goods to support Grow Our Kids, an all volunteer, not-for-profit, group that provides backpack meals for children during the summer.

Call to mind the many ways you have been blessed by others throughout your life or just in the past few days. Offer a prayer of thanks and ask God to make you willing to be a blessing too.

COME AND JOIN US! July 10-13

A Life With, For, and In Relationship by Gayle Justice

Hayes Barton Baptist Church June 2014 5

And as with any mission experience, each group will surely face their share of adversities, challenges and obstacles along the way. To be sure, there is always risk in attempting to share God’s love beyond the physical walls of the church building. In Hosea 14:4, we read: “Then I will heal you [and] my love will know no bounds….” As ambassadors of Hayes Barton Baptist Church, these youth and adults will reflect the boundless love of the great physician through their faithfulness to Christ and His on-going work. Pray now for God’s mercies, protection, power, and grace to be with each of these teams in preparation, travel, and project work.

I can’t say for sure whether or not I would have the courage to risk ministering in a dangerous setting such as the Central African Republic. I believe we don’t know those kinds of answers until opportunity and adversity present themselves. Still, I hope that in my own way, in my own context, my faith in Christ has been and will be lived out daily beyond the church walls. That has been and is my greatest desire for our youth. I hope they learn to be persons of faith that love others beyond the ordinary social, economic, and customary boundaries of life. I hope, through the ministry and witness of this church in the world, they have and will discover the same God of love Jesus discovered so long ago. Given the opportunity, I hope they are willing to set aside their lives as Jesus did to follow in that ancient way of faith without borders. I hope that, through the love of God dwelling within each one of them, the boundaries of this world will be replaced by the boundless reign of God in the next world. I hope they see strangers and customs and traditions as Jesus did; with broken dotted lines rather than rigid and fixed fences. I hope they take risks. I hope they always have the courage to take great risks for a love that by nature cannot and will not exclude but builds up and hangs on. May it be so.

And, what about you? Does your faith reflect the boundless love of God? What risks are you taking this summer for Christ? When and where is your next great adventure?

We often look towards the summer with an eye on going...going for a swim...going on vacation...going on a mission trip...just simply getting out of town.

Although that is often our mindset, some these days are talking about “stay-cations.” Individuals or families choose to stay in-town, and although they are off from school or work, they just enjoy being around home, maybe exploring some of what Raleigh has to offer (maybe this is a glimpse into retirement for some of us).

This summer, youth from across the country will be coming and staying with us. They will be using our Family Life Center as a “homebase” as they disperse throughout Raleigh during the day to serve and share God’s love. Each week a different set of youth and their chaperones will be arriving and serving through YouthWorks. Since 1994, YouthWorks has provided mission trip experiences for youth across the nation, and this summer we have the opportunity to provide hospitality to these youth and their leaders.

This summer their theme is Demo: Live Like Jesus. The youth this summer are invited to “give faith to your fingertips as you find ways to care for others the way Jesus did. Come paint love on the sides of houses. Sort sacrifice at a food pantry. Roll compassion across a playground. Discover service beside a wheelchair at eye level.”

So, as you see them in the building this summer, take a moment to share some hospitality Jesus style. Four of the YouthWorks Staff will be with us the entire summer. They are Jenae Arvidson, Joseph Melby, Jessie Parry, and Elizabeth Serrano. Take some time to share a word of welcome with them. Let’s take an adventure in hospitality and see where it leads!

Part of Our Legacy at Hayes Barton Baptist Church:The Greatest Generation by David Hawkins

Tom Brokaw wrote about them, most of us have known some of them, and all of us have read about them. The “them,” of course, is the “Greatest Generation.”

The seventieth anniversary of the Allied invasion of Normandy, known as D-day, is upon us June 6th. Other upcoming dates are likewise important - the dropping of the nuclear bomb at Hiroshima in August, 1945, and The Battle of Iwo Jima when our illustrious Marine Corps raised our banner again; also remember The Battle of the Bulge. Let me remind you again that all of these involved our “Greatest Generation.”

Hayes Barton Baptist Church has lost two of this “Greatest Generation” in the last sixty days, and unfortunately few of us know the stories of their heroism. Most of these veterans were very private and reluctant to either relive their stories or talk about them. Dr. Hailey had the privilege and honor of conducting both men’s services.

One service was for long time member and, most recently, member of our TV congregation, Hoyt Thornburg. William Thornburg’s (one of Hoyt’s sons) grandparents, Clarence and Lois Brown Godwin were HBBC charter members.

Hoyt seldom talked about his exploits but loved his country so much that he lied about his age to join the Marine Corps at age 17. While entrapped in a bunker at Iwo Jima, Hoyt watched fellow Marines die in adjoining foxholes. While in that bunker, Hoyt also watched as three US Marines raised “Old Glory” against all odds and for the pride of all Americans. The Japanese had spent decades fortifying that island and building special caves and tunnels. We had 40,000 Marines invade and 20,000 casualties among our troops. Hoyt was later hiding out in one of those tunnels when hit by shrapnel resulting in his Purple Heart.

Hoyt’s son William, owner of Whitehorse Transportation, sits in the balcony most Sundays. When you see him, say “thank you” for what his Dad did.

The same week we lost Hoyt, we lost another of our Greatest Generation in Sterling “Doc” Holmes. Doc was a much beloved member of my family, married to Dell Hawkins Holmes. They were very active members of the Townsend Couples Class. Doc was a New Yorker and a Presbyterian whom we converted to being a Southerner and a Baptist.

Doc was in the Pacific Theater as a full Colonel. Educated as a Mechanical Engineer at North Caroline State, he went on to lead our missile program at the Redstone Arsenal in Alabama and served as Chief of the NATO HAWK Liaison office in Paris, as Commander of The US Army Limited War Laboratory - Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland, and as an infantry commander in the Pacific from 1945-1946. Doc trained at the U.S. Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island, and served as an advisor to the Republic of Korea and 8th infantry Division in South Korea – from 1955 to 1957; also taking time to advise our President on whether or not to again use nuclear force. After retirement, Doc served in an administrative position at Athens College in Georgia.

When we lost Doc, America lost, the US Army lost, HBBC lost, and hundreds of family members and friends lost. We were so very lucky to have had Hoyt and Doc as long as we did.

Our Hayes Barton Baptist Church ties to “the Greatest Generation” don’t stop with Hoyt and Doc. Al Partin, Graham Spencer, Ed Thompson (all living at Glenaire), and Al Croom each served this country during WWII, and each has a story. Al Partin was sent to the Pacific Theater in August 1944 and served in Okinawa, Manila, Leyte, and other islands. As the war concluded in August of 1944, Al was sent to Japan for five months with the Army of occupation.

Graham Spencer was a proud member of our US Navy and involved in five invasions, including in the Philippines. Al Croom was present for the invasion of Okinawa, going in early as part of the Signal Corps for set up. Ashore, they built a campfire and the Japanese used that light to kill Al’s best friend standing right next to him. While they were there, they also withstood three typhoons where 99% of everything was blown away.

Richard Sawyer’s life is worth a book. Richard and his lovely wife Norma are members of the Danielson Class. Richard spent time as a POW in a concentration camp during the war. Richard entered the service in 1941 and was assigned to the Signal Corps as a radioman for the 100th infantry. While awaiting assignment for flight training, Richard was handpicked to attend special Ranger training. There he was one of the 36 out of 125 to pass the test. While still awaiting flight training, he was offered a rank increase and was sent to Camp Atterberry to be part of the new 106th infantry.

The journey then goes to England, across the English Channel in a furious storm to Belgium and straight to the front lines to fight the Nazis. Living in a 6 ft. x 8 ft. hole hidden and covered by dirt and snow, the allied soldiers were holding a line four times the normal size. Richard volunteered to go on a mission to take out a machine gun. While trying to rescue his partner Taylor, he took a serious hit from a grenade. These injuries have had a permanent effect on him. Within days, German soldiers had surrounded these soldiers, the white flag was raised, and they all were taken prisoner. After spending several days in an unheated barn, these prisoners were moved by train to Stalag 11 B, north of Berlin. They watched daily as hundreds of dead were carted by their barracks. Ultimately 1000 soldiers were sent on a death march towards the North Sea. Richard was now malnourished (less than 120 lbs.) and critically wounded and struggling. The soldiers managed to broker a deal with German guards for more humane treatment in trade for good care for them as the war was coming to an end. The story goes on and on, but ultimately the Canadians broke through and rescued the POWs, and the long journey home began. Richard, in critical condition, spent a month in isolation in a Belgium hospital. Richard’s 30% disability has been considerably upgraded as the effects of frozen feet and a body riddled with shrapnel continually plague him. I should hope that someday, Norma would publish a book. I have gone thru 31 pages of typed memories, and, oh, how I admire our “Greatest Generation.”

Our remaining HBBC soldiers might not have been in Normandy, but their hearts were. They were all participating in an act to provide us with a freedom that we have so deeply cherished.

”GREATEST GENERATION” - America, HBBC, and Dave Hawkins salute you on this seventieth anniversary of D-Day.

My relationship with Jesus began at Hayes Barton Baptist Church and that is where it has continued to grow. As a young child, I went to church because

my grandparents and my mom did, but also because church was a great place to get Krispy Kreme donuts. The donuts were good for a while, but before long I felt that I needed to be in church for a different reason. I began to be more involved in the Sunday School discussions, and then actually listened to the Children’s Sermon.

When I was about 9-10 years of age, my baseball team went to an event where muscular old men broke cinder blocks with their hands, their feet, and their heads. After the performance, the men gave their testimony and told the audience that the reason they were able to do such amazing feats was because they had given their lives to the Lord, and they challenged us to do the same. Not long after that experience I made my profession of faith and made that long walk down to the front. My journey with the Lord had just begun. I had just started sixth grade, so I was very new to the HBBC youth group. I was one of the youngest in the group so that made it difficult to participate as much as I should have. On top of that I was expected to make it all the way through “big church” without a single glare from my grandfather for moving too much.

As I became a teenager, I continued to be more involved by going to church on Wednesday nights and youth group on Sunday evenings. I also started going on summer mission trips and have been to Macon, Georgia, Boston, Massachusetts, and Danville, Virginia. I’m looking forward to a trip to Belize this summer. I always enjoy spending time with my

friends and the ministers, while helping the less fortunate and spreading the love of Jesus.

Every part of Hayes Barton Baptist Church has helped me along my journey with Christ. If I were to stray off the path, I’m sure the people of this church would bring me right back and keep me going in the right direction. I have so many great memories here at HBBC, and it has left such a positive impact on my life. I intend to continue my walk with Jesus, and I hope to do this with the help of “my church.”

No matter how it all starts, with a donut or a cinder block, I can assure you that the people of Hayes Barton Baptist Church will always have your back.

Many of you have watched her grow up. You might have even taught her in Sunday School, music, or missions, or chaperoned a trip she took. In recent days, she has been teaching other children, and this summer she will

embark on a new adventure.

Our new adventurer is Brooke Johnston, and she will be serving as a ministerial intern in our congregation. Her adventures will take her “behind the scenes” in a place she calls home! Brooke is looking forward to seeing “how the church operates daily and all the many jobs our ministers do along with preparing for worship on Sundays.” She will be working with all age groups on this adventure, attending meetings, preparing for events, visiting in the hospitals, leading in worship, and participating in the day-to-day activities of the church.

Brooke hopes to “learn what it truly means to be a minister within the church to see if God is calling her to ministry.” I know that you will join with me in

welcoming her on this new adventure. Even though it will take place in a familiar place, I know there will be surprises on the way. Keep her in your prayers and take some time to get to know her a little better as she begins this adventure!

This adventure is one for us as well. As a congregation, we can help Brooke discern God’s calling on her life. It is an opportunity for us to help her listen and lead. As we participate in this adventure with her, maybe we can ask ourselves if there is a new adventure God might be calling us to take. New adventures don’t always take us to unfamiliar places, but they might just be calling us, like Brooke, to a familiar place.

Consider what adventure God might be calling you to take this summer and be courageous enough to take it!

A New Adventure in a Familiar Place by Kristen Muse

Brooke just completed her sophomore year at NC State University majoring in Parks, Recreation, and Tourism with a concentration in Program Management. She enjoys spending time with family and friends, playing and watching any type of sport, and watching movies. She also works at PetSmart at Brier Creek on Mondays. So if you miss her at HBBC, stop in PetSmart and say “hi!”

The Motel 6 hotel chain uses American author and voice actor Tom Bodett as a spokesperson whose commercials end with the phrase, “I’m Tom Bodett for Motel 6, and we’ll leave the light on for you.” The line was an ad lib

resulting in Bodett’s being the spokesperson for the chain. As the creative director for the advertising agency that hired Bodett said, he “sound[ed] like the kind of person who stays there.” That got me to thinking that Hayes Barton Baptist Church is similar. As the summer months approach, many of us head to the beaches or away on vacations, and the Church “stays here” waiting; waiting to provide spiritual nourishment; waiting for us to return; leaving the light on for us, so to speak.

When the light of summer provides longer days, we venture further from home. The light of Christ goes with us. As we vacation and retreat from the normal hustle and bustle of life, to find renewal and refreshment, we also have opportunities to share that light with others.

All of that being said, I want to provide a bit of information about our current budget. The accompanying graphic depicts the church’s General Fund Budget receipts and disbursements for the first four months of 2014. Receipts are shown in black and disbursements are shown in grey. We expend about 8% of the operating budget each month (averaging $200,000), and receive about 7% of anticipated contributions early on (averaging $186,000). Through the end of April, receipts of $745,000 were behind disbursements of $837,000 by $92,000.

We are asking you to be mindful of this ebb and flow of funds. Historically, in November and December 30% of our pledged commitments arrive. Do you realize that 30% of our $2,400,000 budget represents $720,000? That means that we experience a negative cash position about 8 months out of the calendar year. While these statistics demonstrate the cyclical nature of HBBC’s

giving, historical facts and figures don’t provide the comfort that a positive cash flow can. We “go on faith” that God will provide through our members. Our Finance Committee relies on the fact that it takes a response from each one of our members, all pulling together and giving as they have given in the past. So we’re asking you to remember Hayes Barton Baptist Church as you travel this summer.

We’ll still be here at the corner of Whitaker Mill and Glenwood Avenue providing “light” opportunities in fellowship, mission, ministry, and worship; opportunities to see the light; to feel the light; to share the light and to be the light of Christ for others. In time, the summer light will wane and almost as if a beacon, the light of Christ beckons us to return home for a different season.

I’m Lisa Anthony for Hayes Barton Baptist Church, and we’ll leave the light on for you.

Columbarium Meeting There will be a special called meeting of the congregation on June 8, 2014 immediately following the Worship Service to consider a recommendation of the diaconate that the church proceed with plans for the development of a columbarium/memorial garden on the HBBC campus. This recommendation is based on the feedback received through the recent congregational meetings which reflected strong support for this project. Assuming a favorable vote on June 8th, special committees will be formed to finalize plans for the design, financial terms and cost projections, and legal requirements and document preparation. Following their work, the matter will be brought back to the church for approval of the final plans.

Arkansas Mission Trip Save the Date– July 12-18. This is a church-wide mission trip– youth, families, and individuals are invited. Contact Kristen if you might be interested. The

cost includes the following: transportation (flight), lodging, most meals (some to be provided by the participant), project preparation materials, t-shirt, secondary accident insurance, and program materials. The estimated cost for the week is $685 per person. Volunteers can reduce the trip cost with alternative housing and transportation. To sign up, submit a $100 non-refundable deposit, along with the registration form to the church office. Payment will be due by June 15.

Nominating Committee Every one of us has gifts to share that can spread God’s love and further HBBC’s Five Points Vision. As part of the work of the Nominating Committee, we are continuing to ask each church member to prayerfully seek where God is calling them to serve. If God is calling you to step out and further His Kingdom by teaching or assisting in Sunday School, missions or music, please contact Katherine Teague at kdteague@gmail.com or 919-757-9103. Let each of us continue to embrace a deeper commitment to God, to His ministry, and to one another.
