Easter Celebrations of Resurrection Sunday, April 1

8:15 AM Easter Celebration with Holy Communion 10:45 AM Easter Celebration with Holy Communion
This Easter Invite a Friend to Church Services
Easter, like Christmas, puts
Church on people’s radar. So,
this is an excellent opportunity
for you to reach out to a friend
and invite them to sit with you
in the Easter Sunday worship
service. The Easter Story is the
Essence of the Gospel.
“… but God shows his love for us
in that while we were still sinners,
Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8)
The most important piece of information you could
ever share with someone is that Jesus paid the price
for our sins by dying on the cross and that He
overcame death by resurrecting on the third day.
Easter is a day when Jesus’ followers celebrate Jesus’
victory over death and reflect on the resurrection and
the gift of new life. Jesus’ sacrifice was real, and
Easter provides an opportunity to refocus on the most
important part of our faith.
As a 20-year old, I was invited to go to church with a
friend and so I did. It changed my life and direction.
So, this Easter Sunday, prayerfully invite that friend
to come to the Easter Sunday service and sit with
you. It might change their life!
-Pastor Bob Cook

I grew up in Staten Island and when I would take the ferry to Manhattan, I frequently saw tugboats guiding big ships—cruise liners, freighters, naval vessels and big tankers—through the busy harbor and out past the Narrows. The tugboat would take a harbor pilot and, when it drew alongside the ship to be guided, the harbor pilot would climb aboard to
guide the ship safely out of the harbor area. The harbor pilot would be intimately familiar with the channel, knowing where the shallows are and keeping the ship on the right path out to sea.
Harbor pilots are needed to guide the big ships into port as well. They are there for the transition to ships coming into the harbor or from the harbor and out to sea. Without the services of a harbor pilot, docking ships or guiding them out to sea would be quite hazardous. Running a big ship aground could be a big problem for the crew, the ship and its cargo or passengers and, of course, to the ecosystem of the bay. A harbor pilot provides a very valuable service.
We are in a time of transition here at Christ Church. Although my transition from Christ Church to Calvary Church in Harrisburg was unexpected, it is a normal part of ministry and church life. It isn’t easy for Shirley and me to leave you, but we both understand that it is a part of the calling of a pastor and family to be open to God’s move from time to time.
Your harbor pilot is your District Superintendent, Dr. Charles Salisbury. He has an assistant pilot here who knows the church well and that is Dr. Donna Brandmeyer and our Staff-Parish Relations Committee. They are in the process of guiding this church safely during this time of transition.
When a ship is entering or leaving the harbor, the crew is not idle. There are many things going on for the smooth and successful operation of the ship. So it is here, as well. The congregation is not just watching; there is much to be done. The more active the involvement of everyone on the ship, the better the transition will go. Here are some of the things to be doing shipboard in this time of transition.
1. Keep perspective. Pastoral transitions bring a measure of unsettledness throughout a church family. One priority task is to remind each other that God is intimately aware of the situation and, more importantly, has a good plan for this church. Transitions provide a huge opportunity to grow in our trust of God and His provision.
2. Provide for Continuity of Ministry. We do a lot of ministry here. Nearly all are laity led. Visitors will still show up. Welcoming them to the Church is just as important in transitions as at every other time. Each person can help provide the whole Church with a positive attitude, an affirmation that the Church is about Jesus (and not the pastor) and that ministry goes on every day. Don’t just stop and wait to see who the next pastor will be and what they want to do. Your church is a vital part of this community. Keep the many ministries going on.
3. Look Ahead. It is common to look at the past and the ministries that we have already done. But the focus needs to be on the future and not the past. This congregation has been around for 213 years. It has seen some 70+ pastors in her pulpit. There will be more pastors in time to come. As you look ahead, believe that God has placed this church and you here to minister in this present day and in the days and years to come.
4. Be Prayerful. If there is a silver lining in the occasional dark clouds of transition, it is the renewed desire of the church family to seek God in new and deeper ways. The District Superintendent and the SPRC will surely appreciate your prayers. So will the entire congregation. Pray for the new pastor who will be coming to minister with you. Pray for his or her family who will be joining them here and experiencing a new congregation—new to them. Pray for God to provide the gracious and patient spirit everyone will need in this time. And keep praying!
5. Anticipate a “New Song.” God is involved in this transition and God always gives us a fresh song. We read of that in Psalm 40. God’s blessings are something that God’s Spirit eagerly desires for this church. Being open to that and receiving these blessings means having an open heart and mind. New and renewed ministry will surely be forthcoming. But resistance will only hinder it.
There is one more thing I ask of you in this transition: resist the temptation of comparisons. Whatever my ministry among you has been can only be evaluated by the Holy Spirit. Comparing one pastor against another is neither helpful nor kind.
Yes - we will all grow in this transition and I believe we will all discover God’s blessing in it! -Pastor Bob Cook

WE ALL ARE ONE IN MISSION
A huge “THANK YOU” goes out to all of you who made the Mission Auction such a success!! Those of
you who donated items; those of you who came on Saturday and supported the Auction with your purchases; those who spent countless hours in preparation and the organization of the auction; those who made food and manned the kitchen; those who helped to set up and those who helped tear down, those who made signs and those that hung them; the Auctioneers, those who assisted with the silent auction, those who kept the live auction moving, those who recorded items sold and collected money,
and those who kept the auction in your prayers – THANK YOU!! On Saturday, we had a preliminary
figure of about $6300, but money continues to come in. We will keep you informed of your success. Thank you all for your efforts!!
PACK THE PLAY PEN – The play pen set up in Frank Hall will remain there over the next couple months to
gather diapers to be delivered to Waynesboro Community and Human Services (WCHS). Due to decreased cash donations during the first few months of 2018, WCHS was forced to adjust their client assistance in several areas. One of these areas included decreasing the number of times per month diapers would be disbursed from their Diaper Bank in an effort to make their inventory last longer. The Diaper Bank is in great need of diapers so that they can resume regular access to those in need. All sizes are needed (although sizes 4, 5 and 6 seem to “go more quickly”). We will take care of delivering them to WCHS. Please help us PACK THE PLAY PEN for a very good cause. Many thanks in advance for your generosity.
COMPASSION SUNDAY: May 6, 2018 (please note the change in
date from April 29). CUMC has a heart for children living in poverty. We are passionate about making a difference in the lives of children in need. On Sunday, May 6, the Mission Committee will introduce you to Compassion’s child sponsorship, empowering you to put your faith into action. It’s a challenge to help us grow as passionate disciples of Christ who actively express their heart for the lost on a global scale. “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” (Matthew 25:40) We will have child packets on Compassion Sunday – each representing a real child living in poverty somewhere in the world. These packets will be signed out to CUMC for this event; these children will not be available for sponsorship anywhere else. Please prayerfully consider joining us on Compassion Sunday to learn more about how you could sponsor a child.
Defibrillator Recently, Christ Church received the gift of an Automatic External Defibrillator device (AED). This unit is a first line response should someone experience a sudden cardiac arrest in the Church. This has actually happened in the Lunch Place in the summer of 2016.
We are grateful to the donors for this device.
We will hold a training event in its proper use on Saturday, March 31 at 9 AM.
If you are interested in learn how to use an AED, please contact the church office.

Noah’s Ark Christian Child Care A Ministry of Christ United Methodist Church
Throughout the month of February and into the month of March we continue to be teased with unbelievably warm weather which continues to return to frigid temperatures and horrible winds nearly a day later. It makes our usual lessons a little confusing to our children as we describe March is coming in like a lion and April will be going out like a lamb. The spring weather cannot come soon enough.
On Presidents Day some of the children shared what they would do if they were president for a day …….
Oliver said he’d play with cars,
Lennon said do nothing,
Benjamin said clean my room,
Eva said be a grasshopper and a good girl,
Mira said she would help Dad,
O’Connor said be a monkey ninja,
Charlotte said she would be nice to her friends.
I started thinking maybe the one that plays with cars may work in transportation, cleaning their room may lead to the next environmental activist, but I’m still puzzled what career a grasshopper and monkey ninja may evolve into. What I do believe is that we give the children the belief to be confident and the safety to imagine becoming anything they want to be. Even at a young age we appreciate the skills, talents, vision and conviction with which children can achieve whatever they dream, even being the President.
The children in our preschool classrooms are currently attending the second session of swim lessons at the YMCA. Miss Jamie was volunteering to help with these outings and her presence at these weekly lessons has been truly missed. We continue to pray for her return to better health which will allow for her to visit us again. Despite all the effort it takes for the children to participate in this rewarding learning experience, the most rewarding part for the staff is hearing a simple thank you from the children as we return to the Ark. The staff at Noah’s Ark teaches the use of manners throughout our daily routines, but it’s always a refreshing reward to hear many please and thank you’s without having to remind them to use their manners. Society may just be a little happier if everyone expressed the same appreciation as our children do by using their manners.
A number of Noah’s Arks staff and families have been affected by various health concerns, accidents, and families experiencing life difficulties. Thank you for all of your support with financial gifts, fundraisers, donations of children’s items, collecting the box top labels, and your many kind words out in the community. We truly appreciate all of your prayers and support that you offer us as we minister to the children and the families of our community.
Kindness can become its own motive. We are made kind by being kind. –Eric Hoffer
