Be Disciples and Make Disciples of Jesus Christ
Grace and Peace to you! I write this during the long, hot days of summer. One would think that nothing much happens at church during this season, but one would be wrong: a lot has been going on and more is still to come! We had a fabulous week of Vacation Bible School. Somewhere around 125 kids plus youth and adult helpers converged on our church, and it was a happening place! My prayer is that all who attended internalized the key message of the "Weird Animals" theme: no matter how different you are, no matter how you feel, God still loves you! And, by the way, God does love you - I mean YOU - very much! Amanda Greenwood and I will be leading a youth mission trip to Manassas, Virginia, to participate in Group's "Week of Hope" beginning July 27th. Please pray for us and for the people we serve. MOPS, Mothers of Preschoolers, has been getting organized and is looking fantastic as a new ministry of our church. Please pray for them, too. Pastor Shari and I have been preaching on the theme "In the Beginning" as we walk through some of the key stories in Genesis and Exodus. As I tell these sometimes heart-wrenching stories about our ancient ancestors in the faith and their frequent dysfunction, I scratch my head and say "really?" But soon I realize that these stories speak as much to our situation now as they have to peoples throughout history. These stories are real, as real as today's news articles, as real as the happenings in our own families. The good news is that the star of the show is not any of our faulty ancestors, but God! God is able to do amazing things through and in spite of our sinful human nature. Please come and worship with us as we walk with our ancestors through the pages of the Bible this summer. We are also walking with some of our members through hard times of sickness, depression, anxiety, grief, and mourning. I'm grateful to our Stephen Ministers, VIP (visiting important people), and Reach for reaching out to those in need of special loving care. Please keep all of them in your prayers. May God bless us all, and all we love, with a healthy serving of grace, forgiveness, healing, empowerment, and love. Keep believing - for the best is yet to come!

2014 Concert SERIES Announced at WUMC Our next concert will be presented Sept 20. Complete flier for our 2nd annual concert series is available in our narthex and on our website www.wumcdmd.org. The 2014 series has been well-received with performances by the Maryland State Boychoir and organist Christian Lane with soprano Jolle Greanleaf. Upcoming concerts feature a silent movie night and our Chancel Choir in a special Christmas concert. Our concert series is a fantastic opportunity to welcome the community into our church. Besides being a free gift of music to all, the series is also a fantastic evangelism tool. Please pick up a flier about the series in the narthex and share it with others in the Westminster community. If you see a visitor at one of the concerts, be sure to welcome them to our church.

Here are quotes from parents about our excellent program:
“We are very happy with Crossroads! I feel like my daughter grew a lot this year both
educationally and socially.”
“The teachers are engaging, supportive and patient. Thank you for the wonderful
experience!”
“We had a fabulous year at Crossroads. Every day, the teacher shows that she truly loves
her students and the work that she is doing. Her excitement, enthusiasm and nurturing has
allowed our daughter to grow academically, socially and spiritually. She is happy and excited
to go to school each day.”
“I always knew my child was being loved and cared for. The teachers were terrific!”
“A great program that my child remained excited over. Her start in the world of education
was enthusiastic. We couldn’t ask for a more profound and positive start!”
“Our son loved his teachers!”
“The program is very organized and the teachers and aides are pleasant all the time.”
“You have such a wonderful program and I can’t say enough about how great you have all been
for my son and I. “
“The teachers are wonderful with the children!”
“Thank you for the exceptional care and love you showed our children. We couldn’t be happier
with your school and all of the teachers and assistants that cared for them. We will not
hesitate to recommend your preschool for anyone looking for quality child care.”
“The experience was great for our child. She enjoyed the learning environment and was
nurtured through her anxieties.”

Do YOU KNOW…. Acts of Kindness?
In Luke 10:25-29 we read:
On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. "Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?" "What is written in the Law?" he replied. "How do you read it?" He answered, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and, Love your neighbor as yourself." "You have answered correctly," Jesus replied. "Do this and you will live." But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" Recall these are the verses that proceed Jesus’ parable of the Good Samaritan.
TV news and the daily newspapers often seem to focus on fires, murders, acts of terrorism, etc. - the dark things of life. Yet, everyday there are great positive things that happen—most of which go unreported, or at least are too infrequently covered by the media to offset the previously mentioned dark stuff.
Do you recall hearing on TV, or reading about the many courtesies and the generosity received by weary travelers—acts of kindness including places to sleep, food, toiletries, medicines, clothing, diapers, entertainment, use of phones and computers - all provided to complete strangers by the people and families of Newfoundland? Note 1 What follows will remind or introduce you to what occurred.
Following the 9/11/01 attack on the Twin Towers in New York and the Pentagon in Washington, the air space over the entire United States was closed. Planes scheduled to land in the US were told to land at the nearest site outside of the US. 53 planes with more than 10,000 passengers and crew from more than 3 dozen countries ended up in Gander, Newfoundland, a town with a population about equal to these new arrivers. What happened to these uninvited and unexpected people in the next few days they were there is a most wondrous example of the goodness of one group of human beings to another. The ‘plane people’ were welcomed and treated as special guests by their un-expecting hosts—a modern real life example (perhaps a parable) of "loving your neighbor as yourself.”
To learn more read, The Day the World Came to Town - 9/11 in Gander Newfoundland, by Jim DeFede.Note 4
My guess is, if you choose to read this book, you will have a renewed sense of what one does for a "neighbor.”
Perhaps you will reflect on and/or change how you "love your neighbor as yourself." Notes 2,3
NOTE 1: Newfoundland is an island in the Atlantic Ocean. It is the most easterly province in Canada with one of the lowest crime rates in the country. Its land area of 156,453 square miles is bigger than the state of Montana (the fourth largest state in the US) and its population of 485,066 is less than Wyoming’s (the least in the US). Thus, the population density is about 3 persons per square mile. By contrast, the population density of Carroll County is about 373 persons per square mile.
NOTE 2: Suppose many people from one of the large cities near Westminster were forced to evacuate and ended-up in our town. What would we (you) do to for such uninvited and unexpected "neighbors"? Perhaps you will think of other situations where a "neighbor" could be, or is, in need. How you will respond?
NOTE 3: Is this a book you will ask the persons in your family to read regarding how leaders and common folk react to unexpected circumstances?
NOTE 4: If you purchase this book from Amazon you can order a paperback version from $5.54, or a Kindle version for $9.78.

Wouldn’t You Love Some
Since I understand God to be good and all-powerful, how can I make sense out of blatant evil and undeserved suffering in this world?
Does modern science make it impossible to seriously believe in the Christian message?
How should we relate to people of other faiths? Muslims, Buddhists, etc.?
Wasn’t the God reported in the Old Testament brutal? How should we understand the “Old Testament God”?
Beginning September 7, an adult Sunday School class will be using a thought-provoking video series to look at these and other issues that are obstacles to faith for many inside and outside the church. For seven weeks, a well-known theologian will present on video, followed by an energetic discussion.
All are warmly invited, just bring an open mind and willingness to grow with fellow Christians. The class meets at 10am for one hour in the New Life in Christ classroom, across the hall from Martha Manahan Room.
SERIOUS ANSWERS to HARD QUESTIONS
Flip Flop Thank You from The Cold Weather Shelter Team
Many thanks to members of our Sunday School classes, their families, and all others in our congregation who responded to the call for plain, rubber flip flops. Dozens of pairs will be
donated to the homeless guests of the Westminster Cold Weather Shelter for use as “shower shoes” because of your generosity. We also appreciate other supplies contributed to this cause—based on our experiences last year, every bit will be used.
We will continue to accept adult-sized flip flops throughout the months ahead and to seek volunteers for Friday night shelter staffing. Shelter workers arrive at 6 PM and leave at 11 PM when the nighttime guard arrives. We will establish teams that include experienced volunteers to help all newcomers to this effort, and on-site training is provided by staff of Carroll County’s Human Services Programs (CCHSP) before the mid-November through March season begins.
A FOOD EFFORT is being organized that will create a separate team of volunteers to provide and/or deliver and serve dinner to the approximately 40 guests who use shelter services nightly. We hope the good cooks of our congregation will help feed Westminster’s homeless during winter months while others deliver and serve hot, prepared food at the shelter.
More information will be forthcoming on all aspects of CWS needs as cold weather nears. To add your name to our volunteer roster for this year’s cold weather season, please contact Suzi Radcliffe via email to [email protected] or by calling 443.605.5106 or Clare Kazyak at [email protected].

Dear Westminster United Methodist Church
I hope all of you are enjoying the beautiful weather the Lord sent our way.
“But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth.”
The last instructions from the mouth of our Lord. Are we listening? Are we looking?
...a story from behind the walls about this Power:
“Thank you … for all your help and support. You have made a difference in my life through your teaching of God’s Word. I have hope, now, for a bright future and strength to get me through the hard times. With the Bible as my map and Jesus as my Guide I am no longer lost and my eyes have been opened. God bless you.”
Thank you so very much for being a partner with me in this great work… I thank God for you.
‘So very grateful for your generous support. I thank God for the work you are doing in our world.
God Bless!
Bob Kimmel, Chaplain
Thank you to everyone who
prayed for me, and for the visits,
cards, and phone calls while I
was in the hospital and rehab.
We do have a very caring
church!
Sincerely,
Jean Garver
