Union United Methodist Church October 8, 2015
TidingsTidingsTidingsTidings Dear church family
Flannery O’Connor, a Roman Catholic writer, lifted up the Christian dimension when
she wrote, “You will have found Christ when you are concerned about other people’s
sufferings and not your own.” The beginning of compassion involves becoming aware
of the suffering of others. It is not enough to see the suffering, however, we need to
feel it. It is possible to see suffering but not feel it.
Someone wrote about a photographer who walked down the street one day and came
upon a man who was choking. “What a picture,” he thought. “A man in need. What a
message.” He got out his camera, checked his light meter near the choking man. This
desperate man realized the photographer was not getting the seriousness of his per-
sonal situation. He grabbed the photographer’s arm and gasped, “I am turning blue.”
The photographer, oblivious to the real need, patted the fellow’s hand and said, “It’s
okay – I am shooting color film.” Bad story, I know. But it illustrates that noticing suf-
fering is not enough.
As we approach our stewardship season, many of us might see the need to build the
kingdom; some might understand the urgency of sharing the gospel; some might
see our need to expand our ministry and touch more lives with the grace of God.
But . . . until it reaches our hearts and we feel it—until we are moved by the spirit to
share—seeing is not enough. We need to act on what we see.
The parable of the Good Samaritan reminds me that it is easier to cross the road and
ignore the needs, keeping things for ourselves, than to see and feel the needs of oth-
ers and act. The Good Samaritan did not look at the person’s race or color, but heard
the call to serve. He provided medical care and gave the resources for the broken
man’s future recuperation.
My prayer for the people of UUMC is that we will move beyond seeing to feeling, and
in our love for God share more generously than ever before. Join me in our ministry
of building the kingdom of God!

UNION UMC GREETERS SCHEDULE JOIN US FOR COFFEE AND FELLOWSHIP AFTER WORSHIP IN MCKINLEY HALL.

at 10:30 am in the sanctuary.
Thel Lemons will present the mission study from this summer's Mission U.
The devotional study is "Created for Happiness, Understanding Your Life in
God.” John Wesley had much to say about happiness and we will explore
the topic through his eyes. The country study is "Latin America--People and
Faith.” An insider's view of Latin America's history, challenges, hopes, joys
and future. Lunch will be served by the Miriam Circle. All women of the church are in-
vited to join us .

2016 BUDGET APPROVED—COPIES AVAILABLE
The Administrative Council approved on September 28 the proposed 2016
Budget. The increase was modest--1.80%, or $15,008. If you would like a
copy of the detailed budget (five full pages), please call the office or
email [email protected]. We used to print a copy for all members, but
not everyone picked one copy up. As good stewards of limited resources,
we have not been printing them.
The budget is a big process-- each committee/group is invited in July /
August to submit a budget request, with justifying support. The Finance
Committee is charged with reviewing it, assembling it, and then determin-
ing if it is affordable for the congregation. That proposed budget is then
submitted to the Administrative Council for their review, adjustments,
changes and then approval.
If you have any questions about any line item in the budget, feel free to ask
Pastor Ed or any member of the Finance Committee.

Julee
I just spent several weeks with
my family and my sister getting
ready for a garage sale to sell
most of my mother’s belong-
ings. I am emotionally and
physically spent. It is so comforting to know that I have
family, friends and a Savior that I can lean on when I need
it. Come worship with us and let Him be your rescue!
“On Your Shoulders”
My help comes from You
You're right here pulling me through
You carry my weakness my sickness my brokenness
All on Your shoulders Your shoulders
My help comes from You
You are my rest my rescue
I don't have to see to believe
That You're lifting me
Up on Your shoulders Your shoulders
“Brother”
Brother let me be your shelter
I’ll never leave you all alone
I can be the one you call
When you’re low
Brother let me be your fortress
When the night winds are driving on
Be the one to light the way
Bring you home.
See you Sunday!

We are currently collecting warm clothing and personal hygiene products
for distribution through Moms on Mission (find them on Facebook!) and the
Belleville Christian Center.
Research has shown that listening to music can affect your heart rate. I
know it affects my mood. It can make me cry or praise the Lord – and
sometimes both! I can use music to get motivated, relax, worship, or even
go to sleep.
Often when I can’t sleep, I realize that a fast song is pumping through my
mind – not very relaxing. So here’s a suggestion: purposely call to mind a
favorite worship song – preferably a slow one. An example of a hymn
would be “Fairest Lord Jesus.” An example of a contemporary Christian one
would be “10,000 Reasons.” I have it memorized and I usually don’t get to
the end of the song before I fall asleep. If I do, in my mind I just “repeat.”
Happy sleeping!

PARISH NURSE NOTES: Hi family,
As I recoup at home, I think of you and pray that you are all
doing well. One of my thoughts today is the importance of bal-
ance. Since my surgery for a new left knee, I realize that opti-
mum balance is key to my recovery and independence.
I have thought about the folks that I have known who broke their wrists or
arms. I now realize how frustrating that can be when one can no longer
twist off the cap from a bottle of water. I realize how anxious, one becomes
when it is difficult to hold a knife correctly to cut up steak. I now under-
stand how a fracture can stop us in our tracks!
Surgery to replace body parts does pretty much the same thing. A new
knee, or hip, may help us realize the importance of our bones and impor-
tance of learning to care for them. I do know that Yoga and Pilates are two
exercises that are considered good in assisting one to improve balance.
Both will likely strengthen the core of our bodies. Lifting weights helps us
strengthen bones. Lifting has a twofold benefit as it also helps build muscle.
Doing any or all of these activities seems to assist us in staying independ-
ent.
As I try to perform the activities of my daily living (bathing, dressing, and
fixing meals) I realize that the I bones I work to strengthen belong to me. I
know that the more I do myself the stronger I become. When my bones are
strong they help me to look my best. My mother always told me to hold
myself up straight and maintain a good posture. I remember how she’d call
to me as I rode my bike to hold my shoulders back. That was difficult . . .
smile. Anyway I agree; a good posture can assist us in looking taller and
guiding us in picking out more flattering clothing.
All in all, good bone health will help us be more pain-free. It will help us
have a richer social life. It seems to give us confidence to go out of our
homes and participate in more activities that can lead us to a happier and
more fulfilled life.
I am looking forward to getting out of my home, returning to work and
seeing all of you once more.
God bless you,
Carol

BOOK CLUB WILL MEET OCTOBER 27 TO DISCUSS THE DEEP END OF THE OCEAN
The next book club meeting will be on Tuesday, October 27, at 10:30 am in
the Krause Room. The book to be discussed is
The Deep End of the Ocean by Jacquelyn Mit-
chard.
Few first novels receive the kind of attention
and acclaim showered on this powerful
story—a nationwide bestseller, a critical suc-
cess, and the first title chosen for Oprah's
Book Club. Both highly suspenseful and deeply
moving, The Deep End of the Ocean imagines
every mother's worst nightmare—the disap-
pearance of a child—as it explores a family's
struggle to endure, even against extraordinary
odds. Filled with compassion, humor, and bril-
liant observations about the texture of real
life, here is a story of rare power, one that will
touch readers' hearts and make them celebrate the emotions that make us
all one. (from Amazon)
