Annual Giving & Capital Improvements

John YarbroughChairman

Hopefully, you have received in the mail the publication “Our Journey... Now What?”I am sure that as you reviewed the publication you were both proud of our accomplishments, yet surprised at the condition of some of our church building and grounds. We need to make these improvements so that our church and grounds will be more appealing to visitors and our members.As you read through it and look at the pictures, try to imagine... ...the sounds of children playing in the new indoor playground....visitors getting information at the new welcome center...improvements to Clayton Hall that enhance First Awakening and all events in that wonderful space.

I encourage you to read and reflect on your commitment to 2012 Annual Giving and Capital Improvements.

Oops! Correction to the Bio ofCharles Lambert Byrd, September 25

“I am 11 years old and attend the University School of Jackson as a sixth grader. I have been on the honor council, play the trumpet, and play football for the Bears. Some of my interests are pitching in baseball, the Lego Club and building with Legos, playing X-Box and Wii, biking, and playing with my dog, a boxer named Big-boy. I also enjoy watching football and the military channel with my dad. When I was 2 months old, on my dad’s birthday, Dec. 19, I was baptized in this church. My sister Courtney is a sophomore at Ole Miss and my parents are Joe and Anita Jo Byrd. I’m excited about confirmation and learning more about my faith this year.”

FUMC Oklahoma Mission Trip - A Visit to Cookson CenterPart 2 of 2 by Tharon Kirk

On Saturday, our group attended the 59th Cherokee National Holiday which was held in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. The Cherokee Nation sponsors this holiday which is a celebration of their heritage and history. Meri, our missionary, gave us some suggestions as to what we might enjoy and explanations as to what we might see. The event is a weekend affair but we were only able to take in some of the Saturday events.

During the morning, the main event was a parade. We drove in to Tahlequah thinking that we were late. Not to worry - things run on Indian time which means when everyone is there and ready, something begins. So, we were early and had a chance to wander around the square and visit the booths. Most of us got free tee shirts, water bottles, and free bottles of water. It also provided an opportunity to talk with people and observe as we waited in line. People came from throughout the region. Many told me that they come every year. The parade finally began with a prayer and was led by the Cherokee Honor Guard carrying the various flags of the US, Oklahoma, and Cherokee Nation, etc. The Honor Guard was composed entirely of Cherokee (men & women) who have served in the US Military. One of the men had to be a WWII veteran. We were to see this Honor Guard more than once during the day!

We returned to the Center to eat lunch and cool down a bit as it was extremely hot and dry there. The minute we crossed into OK., there were signs saying that the region was under a burn ban. During the afternoon

page 9

we went to the Cherokee Cultural Center. There we visited a replica of an 1850s Cherokee village. It was very much like any 1850s village as the Cherokee adapted to the White Man’s culture quite rapidly. Docents who were dressed for the period demonstrated how things were done in that time. Then we toured a traditional Cherokee village which demonstrated how the Cherokee lived prior to the coming of the White Man. Additionally, there were Cherokee demonstrating various traditional skills. Some of us also viewed the judged art exhibit which showcased various art media.

After leaving the cultural center, we made our way to the cultural grounds where the Pow Wow was being held. We arrived in time to see some gourd dancing before the supper break. Cecil enjoyed an Indian meal hosted by the Cherokee Gourd Society. We found seats in the bleachers where we would not be facing the sun and enjoyed watching the crowd and dancing participants arrive. We saw more gourd dancing and got a better look at the drummers and singers who sit in the middle of the arena and really control what happens. At 8:00 p.m. the Grand entry began. Everyone who was going to be dancing or had done some dancing came into the arena to the drums and singing. Traditional dress was worn by the participants. It was a very colorful, awe-inspiring sight and it took a long time to get everyone in. We observed some of the social dancing during which many people were honored . We had hoped

to see the competitive dancing but we were so tired and it still had not started by 9:00 pm so we left that for another trip.

On Sunday, we attended church at Canterbury Chapel in Vian. Meri has pastored this church for a number of years. It is a 12-Step Church. We were there on Communion Sunday which is also potluck Sunday. Rather than throw out our leftovers, we turned them into dishes that we could carry to the potluck. The church was

very warm and welcoming. We were made to feel very at home right away. Almost everyone who is a member of this church is in some type of recovery. Many have spent time in prison. But these were obviously persons who have experienced redemption and who are making a difference in their community and families now. It was very uplifting and inspiring to worship with them and visit over lunch.

Here are some observations the group shared with one another based on our experience: 1) The Cherokee are a very patriotic people. We were to see this over and over at each event we attended. There was great pride in the service that the Cherokee Nation has given to the U.S. A. We found this especially touching as the U.S.A . has not always been fair with the Cherokee people as evidenced by their history. 2) The Cherokee have a strong spiritual base. Each event we attended began with prayer and it was obviously not perfunctory prayer but one sensed a real passion and love for God. 3) Older persons and children both are very honored. In the parade and in the dancing, it was the elders and the children that were honored. 4) Giving is an important aspect of life as a Cherokee. We saw this in the dances when people were honored; in the way we were received at the church; and in the stories that we heard. 5) We came away glad that FUMC helps support Meri’s work. She is very gifted and has a very obvious love for those with whom she lives and works. We saw lots of evidence of how God has used her and the Center to bring His love to many who feel forgotten and hopeless. We hope to share some of the stories we heard in the coming weeks. When we go to Cookson again, I hope you will plan to go. You won’t be sorry and you will come away blessed!
