True Faith Does Not Contradict Its
Words By Its Conduct.
Anonymous
Pillars of Faith.
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great
cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and
the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with
perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on
Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set
before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down
at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who
endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not
grow weary and lose heart” (Hebrews 12:1-3, NIV).
Can we, like so many before us, live by faith before we die (Hebrews 11:13)? It is a
daily challenge to live with uncertainty. We wonder what next week holds as well as
next year. We are concerned for loved ones and our beloved denomination. As we
age and mature we realize how little we control; whatever we face we have to choose
to “endure”, “persevere”, and “not lose heart”. The writer of Hebrews tells us that
“without faith it is impossible to please God” (11:6).
Because of Christ’s sacrifice and unfathomable love, we can trust God’s faithful and
sustaining presence in our lives. We are never promised an easy, carefree life without
difficulties and challenges. We are told throughout the scriptures that we are not to be
afraid, that we are never alone and best of all, God is with us! No one knows, (which I
think is a good thing), what the future holds. We do know that Christ desires us to
walk by faith, exercise our muscles of trust and lean on God’s guidance through the
Holy Spirit.
I cannot begin to count the vast number of men, women, youth and children who have
been pillars of faith to me over the years. My journey this side of heaven has been
made easier by witnessing those who have endured hardship and heartache yet still
maintaining their faith!
Whatever you are facing, I pray you will lean on the promises of scripture, stay close
to the heart of God, spend quality time in worship and daily devotion and align
yourself with the community of faith.
Blessings, love & gratitude,
Andi

New small group study
Will be held Wednesday evenings after W.W. supper
beginning at the end of the summer.
The next small group offering on Wednesday evenings following supper is a study of
a book by Max Lucado titled “You’ll Get Through This: Hope and Help for Your Turbulent
Times.” This six week DVD study offers us refreshing reassurance. Max Lucado reminds us
that getting through trials is not a quick or painless process. Please stay tuned to the bulletin
for the starting date. Books can be obtained at the Carpenter’s Shop for $6.00
Questions? Please contact Andi Woodhouse at: [email protected].
Have you ever wanted to just hit the “Reset Button” on your spiritual life? Do
you need some quiet time for yourself? Are you ready for a bit of fun? Come join Jennie
Lanane and our friend Lori Warren, from Wake Forest United Methodist, for a weekend
retreat for a ”Soul Reset”. Based on the new book “Soul Reset” by Methodist minister,
Junius B. Dobson, we will explore the idea of resetting, renewing and refreshing our
souls.
The retreat will be the Friday evening, November 8 -Sunday morning, November 10 at
Fort Caswell on Oak Island. Cost will be $150.00 which includes double occupancy
rooms, meals and books. A deposit of $100.00 is due by Sunday September 1st. Space is
limited, so please contact Jennie Lanane at 919.353.2724 to make you reservation.

JUMC and El Refugio will again host a National Night Out (NNO) event from
6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Jonesboro U. M. Church on Tuesday evening, August 6.
Activities include street chalk art, a bouncy house, bubble wands, jump ropes, and more.
Free hot dogs, hamburgers, popcorn, and ice cream will also be available. A drawing
for a bicycle helmet, Frisbee, and other small items will be held at 7:15 and you must be
present to win.
NNO is held on the first Tuesday in August every year and focuses on community. The
event emphasizes promoting police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie, helping make the
neighborhood a safer place to live and raise families.
This year’s “Project 365” will have a special concentration on fire safety and prevention.
The Sanford Fire Department will share fire protection materials and raise awareness of
the importance of smoke detectors in every home. Smoke detectors and installation will
be offered to participants.
Come meet our JUMC neighbors and join the fun.

6th Annual Chicken Tender Plate Sale September 5
You Are Needed!
JUMC’s major fundraiser is fast approaching! This is a vital source of support for your church’s missions and programs. Please contribute as much time as you can to the following needs.
TICKET SALES: This is GREAT food—encourage your friends, neighbors, co-workers, family, business contacts and
service providers to buy a ticket for a delicious, easy, well-priced meal! When they buy a ticket in advance, we will
definitely save food for them. (Walk-ins may need to be cut off early.) Tickets are available from Mary Salvo
(919-498-3126) and Vicki Cannady (919-904-6688)—they will have them at all services Sundays.
GROUP SALES: The sale is held on a Thursday specifically to get big orders from companies, small businesses,
schools, organizations, etc. Orders of 10 or more will be delivered free. There is a specific form for group orders; get it
from Mary, Vicki, Sandy Perry (919-770-0167) or at the church. If you have a contact somewhere but don’t want to “make
the sale,” let these ladies know and they will get it done.
CHICKEN PICK-UP WEDNESDAY MORNING: On Wednesday, September 4, Dave Wolters needs two “strong
backs” to help pick up the chicken, return it to church and load it into coolers. Call Dave (616-240-4995 mobile) to say
you can help. You’ll start from JUMC at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday.
FOOD PRE-PREP WEDNESDAY MORNING: On Wednesday, September 4, Becky Keith and Janice Wolters will
head the kitchen crew to dish up slaw, cut pound cakes and prepare the kitchen. Work begins at 9:00 a.m. and should be

pound cake, please bring them to the church Wednesday morning by 9:00 a.m.. If you have not let us know, but plan to
provide dessert, please let Sandy (919-770-0167) know so we will have enough to fulfill the orders. Remember: package

bagged at the church. No nuts or icing, please!
EQUIPMENT & TENT SET-UP WEDNESDAY 5:00 p.m.: Another opportunity to “get some steps” and flex those
muscles: help Eddie Campbell (919-770-6132) set up the outdoor cooking area on Wednesday afternoon.

help with wherever is needed on Wednesday and/or Thursday after school.

face with our customers! Let Becky Keith (815-637-4427) or Janice Wolters (919-270-1281) know what time(s) you can

Welcoming new members and celebrating a baptism.
June 16, 2019
Andrew Pinchac Jr.
welcomed by Pastor Andi
after joining JUMC.
Please welcome him to the
JUMC family when you see
him.
The Baptism of Cameron Parker Judge,
son of Christina and Jason Sherman.
Please celebrate this special occasion with
Cameron and his family.
Christina Saunders Sherman
&
Elwood Jason Sherman
joined the church on the same
day Cameron was baptized.
Please welcome them.
The planning is well underway.
The members of the Chicken Tender Plate Sale Committee, (now that’s a mouthful), have been meeting to get ready
for the sixth annual sale, which is just around the corner. By now they are a well oiled machine and, despite the look on
Gene’s face in the picture on the right, work with joy and in harmony—and each member of the committee is a true gift to
JUMC.
Sandy Perry is in charge of this group, and through the efforts of the committee each year the sale becomes more and more
successful. Sandy would probably love to add committee members if anyone would like to join in planning for the 2020 sale.
Thanks to Patricia Pemberton for the pictures on this page.

Community Summer Fest 2019.
Sponsored by El Refugio
A food truck welcomed participants as
they arrived to provide a quick dinner
before classes. Tacos anyone?
Information about the Partnership for Children
programs available to all families at no cost was
provided .
Healthy Cooking Workshop attendees learned how to prepare Greek food on Monday.
Papoutsakia was the main course. On Tuesday it was Italian cooking.
Does this look like fun or what?
Caroline Veloso Oliveira (pictured at right) instructed several ladies on the proper way to cook
Greek food. Now we know who to contact for some delicious and healthy Papoutsakia.

From the outskirts of Paris (yes, really), to Sanford NC Fredrick Delevau presented a quick three night French language class. (It was worth being there just to hear the authentic French accent.) Parlez-vous français ?
Sue Ellen Harrington was available to talk about
financing college and other related issues in the
College Info Workshop.
At left the “Mad Scientist”
poses with some of her
students. At the right
students are amazed by the
interaction of dry ice with
soapy water. The weird
bubbles fascinated the
young minds.
There was something for everyone at the Summer Fest. Adults participated in workshops about self defense, healthy
cooking, photography, yoga, home safety, art, apron making, and much, much more.
For the kids a “Mad Chemist” both taught and amazed them with demonstrations. They also looked at “Life Under a
Microscope”, after which they could paint what they saw, could participate in STEM OLYMPICS, and that is just a partial list
of the activities offered especially for the kids..
Thanks to El Refugio for organizing this event. If you missed it look for information about Summer fest 2020 in future
issues of “Life Together”.
Thanks to the following people who volunteered their time to present the classes and informational sessions:
Erica Vasquez, Nitin Goyal, Gloribel Vanegas, Caroline Oliveira, David Brown, Ellmar Benitez, Roberto Flores,
Esteban Munoz, Janice Heller, Fredrick Delevau, Janice Wolters, Jerry Batchelor, Steve Malloy, Chet Mann,
and Marisol Flores.

2. What Old Testament book (full of dietary regulations) forbids the eating of fat?
3. What pagan king is the first fat man mentioned in the Bible?
4. Which parable of Jesus mentions killing a fattened calf for a grand feast? (An easy one.)
5. Which Old Testament book says that a meal of vegetables eaten in harmony is better than a meal of fattened calf eaten in
strife?
6. According to the Law, what type of animal fat could be used for household purposes (but not for eating)?
7. What prophet predicted a time when the fat of Israel would waste away?
8. What famous king had a curious dream of seven fat cows being devoured by seven scrawny cows?
9. According to the book of Job, what sort of man has a fat neck and a bulging waistline?
10. In Ezekiel’s parable of God judging between the fat sheep and the lean sheep, who were the fat sheep?
11. What dabbler in the occult cooked a fattened calf and gave it to a distraught king?
12. What prophet condemned the rich of Israel for lying on ivory beds and dining on fattened calves?
13. What leader mocked the Israelites foolish enough to sacrifice to false gods?
14. In Samuel’s famous warning to King Saul, what is more pleasing to God than a sacrifice of fat?
15. What priest of Israel was chastised for allowing his greedy sons to grow fat on the people’s sacrificial animals?
16. According to Ezekiel, what guests would be invited to dine on the blood and fat of aristocrats?
17. What New Testament epistle warns rich people that they are fattening themselves for a day when they will be slaughtered?
18. Which parable of Jesus mentions the preparation of fattened cows and calves for a meal? (Not the same as #4.)
19. What type of meat, normally forbidden for diets, is condemned as unclean in the Old Testament?
1.Abl,e, murdered by his jealous brother Cain; Abel found favor with God by offering God the fat (that is, the choice part)
from his flocks of sheep. (Genesis 4) 2. Leviticus 3:17). This was not, by the way, based on a fear of fat in the diet, but rather
based n the concept that the fat, (the choice part), belonged to God. 3. Eglon, the king of Moab, who was stabbed to death by
the Israelite judge Ehud. (Judges 3) 4. The parable of the Prodigal Son; the happy father rejoicing at his son’s return, ordered
the calf killed.. (Luke 15) 5. Proverbs (15:17). 6. The fat found in a dead animal; the fat from a living animal (one
specifically slaughtered for food, had to be given up as a sacrifice. (Leviticus 7:24) 7. Isaiah (17:4). 8. The pharaoh of Egypt;
his dream (which symbolized seven good years followed by years of famine) was interpreted by Joseph. (Genesis 4:1)
9. The wicked man. (Job 15:27) 10. The leaders of Israel—specifically the priests and prophets who had not cared for the
people. (Ezekiel 34:20) 11. The witch (or spiritualist) of Endor; she had, at Saul’s command, summoned up the ghost of
Samuel. Samuel’s prophecy of doom for Saul distressed him, and the witch insisted that the king eat to regain his strength.
(1Samuel 28:20-25) 12. Amos. (6:4) 13. Moses. (Deuteronomy 32:38) 14. Obedience. (1Samuel 15:22) 15. Samuel’s
mother Eli, whose greedy sons were Hophni and Phinehas. (1Samuel 2:29) 16. The birds and wild animals. (Ezekiel 39:18);
Ezekiel was prophesying judgement on the cruel rulers of mankind. 17. James (5:5). 18.The parable of the wedding feast.
(Matthew 22) 19. Pork, of course. (Leviticus 11:7); but the law did not condemn pork as unclean for diet related reasons. The
Israelites were not plagued by an overabundance of fat or cholesterol.

At the end of broken dreams
My faith looks up to thee,
thou Lamb of Calvary,
Savior divine!
Now hear me while I pray,
take all my guilt away,
O let me from this day
be wholly thine!
May thy rich grace impart
strength to my fainting heart,
my zeal inspire!
As thou hast died for me,
O may my love to thee
pure, warm, and changeless be,
a living fire!
While life's dark maze I tread,
and griefs around me spread,
be thou my guide;
bid darkness turn to day,
wipe sorrow's tears away,
nor let me ever stray
from thee aside.
When ends life's transient dream,
when death's cold, sullen stream
shall o'er me roll;
blest Savior, then in love,
fear and distrust remove;
O bear me safe above,
a ransomed soul!
Story behind the hymn.
Ray Palmer was a rather
unhappy and lonely young man
teaching school in New York City
when he was inspired to write the
words for this song. He wrote the
words in a notebook that he kept
in his pocket and didn’t give the
matter much more thought.
Two years later while visiting
Boston, Palmer happened to run
into his friend, Lowell Mason, an accomplished
musician. Mason said that he was getting ready to publish a
hymnbook and asked if Palmer had anything he would like to
contribute. That caused Palmer to remember his poem, so
he pulled out his notebook and showed Mason what he had
written. Mason copied the words and set them to music.
Later, Mason said, “Palmer, you may live many years and
do many good things, but I think you will be best-known to
posterity as the author of ‘My Faith Looks Up to Thee'”—
and that is, indeed, how it turned
out.
When I read that story, it made me
reflect on the fact that the Spirit
sometimes touches our lives in
ways that we could not have
predicted. In those moments, our
lives become unusually blessed —
and convey unusual blessings to
others.

Holy conversations
As people of faith how do we respond to current issues like sexuality, gun control, racism and the confederate flag?
What is the role of scripture and Jesus’ teachings as we grapple with politically charged topics that are in the daily news?
Every Sunday and throughout the week we claim to be Easter people. We believe in a risen Savior who continues to lead,
guide and direct us in all things through the Holy Spirit. I would like to thank everyone who participated in the immigration
discussion. Our gatherings were rich with fellowship and vulnerable with open sharing.
I am also grateful for Evelyn Watson for serving as Coordinator for our meals prior to discussion. Please stay tuned to the
bulletin as we will discuss sexuality later this summer.
Please stay tuned to the bulletin and church wide email announcements for upcoming Holy Conversations.
There were folks who were on vacation so Immigration will be discussed at upcoming meetings at the parsonage.
Gratefully,
Andi
