June 2013 Remember Your Baptism Summer has finally come! What better time to remember your baptism and be thankful. When you take a dive into the pool on a hot day and feel revived, remember your baptism. When you come inside sweating from working or playing hard in the sun, splash your face, wash your hands, feel refreshed and remember your baptism. When you are parched, drink a tall glass of ice water, quench your thirst and remember your baptism. When you see kids running through a sprinkler laughing with delight, notice a smile come across your face and remember your baptism. When you water your flowers and see the difference it makes, remember your baptism. When an afternoon thundershower washes away the oppressive humidity, a gentle breeze blesses you with the scent of summer rain and the gift of a rainbow adorns the sky, remember your baptism. Remembering our baptism reminds us of God’s steadfast love that danced amid the dark and formless void that covered the face of the deep and gave birth to light and life for all of creation. Remembering our baptism washes away accumulated distractions and allows us if only for a moment to stand in wonder and awe before the magnitude of God’s love and grace. Like the Psalmist, our hearts sing out with renewed revelation, “When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have established; what are human beings that you are mindful of them, mortals that you care for them? Yet, you have made them a little lower than God, and crowned them with glory and honor” (Psalm 8). Remembering our baptism renews and revives us just like water in so many ways will renew and revive us this summer. Already this summer there are four baptisms scheduled. Each occasion will be an opportunity for all of us to remember and renew our own baptism. If you have never been baptized, know that a baptism awaits you! If you’d like to learn more about baptism, Cara or I would love to talk with you. God’s love has been poured out for all creation to join the dance. In ministry together,
Pastor Steve

As of mid-May, we have $550 toward our goal of $3360 by next February. Many of you are very loyal contributors, and for that we are grateful! This month, I’d like you to learn about Sabrina PereiraPereyra, one of our teen students at the New Horizon School in Paraguay. Sabrina and her family are involved in the Herbalife Company, and she wants to be a nutritionist when she is out of school. She wants to show people how to change their lives for the better. Sabrina is also a student of Taekwondo, which improves her discipline, strength and fitness. One of Sabrina’s favorite things to do is to go to a nearby city with her friends. There is a park where they enjoy spending time together. Sabrina hopes to return to the park with some of the new friends she has made at the school. Sabrina sends this message to you: “Every day I thank God for the many blessings that he always gives me (like being with my family and enjoying everything around us). I especially thank him for the opportunity to wake up to another day.” Thank you for contributing to Sabrina’s future. See her photo on the bulletin board in the east hallway.
The next meeting will be Thursday, June 6th at 2:00 in the parlor. Anyone who would like to help knit or crochet prayer shawls is welcome.

Attention all Faith Cooks! We have a newly forming Ministry Task Group forming under the Membership Care Ministry Team. This is a Food Ministry which falls under Helping Hands and is being coordinated by Nancy Share. This ministry is intended for members who have a short term need for meals at home. Perhaps it is a new mom and dad with their baby, a member who has just returned home from surgery, or a member who has been in an accident and is having a hard time getting around. Could you please help by providing a meal to a member in need? Nancy is currently looking for volunteers who are willing to prepare a meal. Please call her at 330-212-5136 or email her at mrsnc.home@yahoo.com if she can add you to her list. We are hoping to have enough people on our list that we won’t have to ask you for help more than once or twice a year. Please prayerfully consider this opportunity to serve.

We are looking for people willing to share their story through a weekly devotion based on each week’s scripture. If you have a passion for writing and are willing to share how you experience God’s story, please contact Kathy Schmucker for more information.

A couple of weeks ago I was blessed to attending a conference that I have fallen in love with over the past couple of years. The conference was the Orange Conference which focuses on developing a family ministry that connects children, youth, and college students under one umbrella while seeking to partner with parents to have a greater impact on the next generation. Read the full story at http://refuge-faithumc.blogspot.com/ As we expanded upon the theme over the course of the conference we discussed the thought there are six things that every child/student needs from us. They need time, love, words, stories, tribes, and fun. • A child/student needs time in order to create history • A child/student needs love in order to prove their worth • A child/student needs words in order to provide direction • A child/student needs stories in order to see perspective • A child/student needs tribes in order to create a sense of belonging • A child/student needs fun in order to create connection As we journey together over the next year we will explore how much time of influence we have left with our children/students. (If you can’t wait to see how much time you have left with your own child there is an app which is available for I Phones by searching “Orange Legacy” which will let you know the number of weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds you have left). We will also be looking at the fact that what we do every week matters in the development of our students as well as how to invest their lives through time, love, words, stories, tribes, and fun. We look forward to partnering with you and sharing in this discussion as we seek to impact the next generation!
As our students prepare for their mission trip to Rockford, Illinois in the summer of 2013 they have already started earning their service/fundraising hours during the past few months. We have had students participate through: Helping through assistance with children’s Sunday School classes Serving a dinner for the Confirmation Banquet & Assisting on Confirmation Sunday Serving at the All Daughter’s Banquet If you have any questions about the trip, feel free to contact Susan Arnold (sarnold@faithumchurch.org) or Donny Bell (donnybell@gmail.com) or Matt Hart (mhart@faithumchurch.org). Thank you for your partnering with this life-changing ministry!
Christ Caring for People through People! Thanks to the foresight of our leaders and the support of our congregation, we are blessed to have a very active Stephen Ministry team. These are lay people who are trained to provide distinctively Christian one-to- one care to those who are experiencing a difficult time in their lives. There are times when each of us needs the care of another person, a Christian friend. Maybe you are feeling overwhelmed, bereaved, ill, or facing a life transition. Stephen Ministers can be available for you---to share and care. This is a confidential ministry and those receiving care can be assured that their identity and the content of the caring relationship will remain private. If you are in need of a Stephen Minister, you may contact Pam Honnold or Ron Luikart. In addition to the one-to-one care relationship, several Stephen Ministers will be available the second Sunday of the month following each service in the Chapel for prayer with anyone who would desire it. It is our prayer that Christ works through us and that no one feels alone during life's difficult times.
Troop 12: News & Information Friday, April 5, 2013: The boys really appreciate all of your encouragement and patience with our Spaghetti Dinners. Thank you for all your support in our fundraising efforts. Good Turn Campout – April 12 - 14 Our spring good turn weekend was very successful. Twenty four scouts and nine adults spent the weekend building 48 cabinets for the new, staff housing complex at Seven Ranges, as well as thorn busting in around the beautiful new Hoover Dinning Hall addition. All the new improvements at Seven Ranges are fabulous! If you have an opportunity to travel to Seven Ranges Scout Camp, it is well worth the effort. The Staff at the camp are always working on improving the area for the boy’s enjoyment. May 3 - 5, 2013 Camping at Kelley’s Island During our monthly campout in May, 13 boys and 4 adults camped at East Harbor State Park in Marblehead, Ohio. On Saturday, the boys rode the ferry over to Put In Bay on South Bass Island where they hiked more than ten miles, rode golf carts for the afternoon, played miniature golf, looked for sea glass on the shores of Lake Erie, and enjoyed the colorful visitors that were also on the island for “Derby Weekend.” No need to worry – all our boys returned safely, and no horses or hats were hurt during the festivities. North Canton Parks – Service Project – May 18, 2013 Troop 12 helped the North Canton Parks department spruce up the grounds around Price Park and the Civic Center. If you get a chance, drive down Maple Ave. to see how nice it all looks. Summer Camp Is ALMOST here – June 23 - 29, 2013 The countdown until summer camp has begun. Paperwork and physicals are complete, merit badges have been chosen, and bundles of pipestone are fastidiously being collected. In fact, we would like to congratulate Kyle Mayle; he was the first scout to turn in his bundle pipestone wood. Way to go Kyle! This year our theme for Thursday night’s family dinner will be “Around the World”. We can’t wait to taste what the scouts cook from the various cultures around the world.

A great big "thank you" to all involved with our 2nd annual "Run to the Resurrection" which was held on Saturday, March 30th! The day dawned clear, but cold! Race time temperature was in the upper 30's. The fun walk went off promptly at 8:00 am. with close to 40 walkers. The 5k run started at 8:15 am, with a North Canton Police escort. The course looped Faith United Methodist Church 3 times with many family members and friends cheering along the route. Banners with the 7 sentences Christ spoke while hanging on the cross, were located at each turn throughout the course. With an estimated total of 125 runners, Taylor Sowers. AJ Brokaw, Amy Palmer and Mianna Schut crossed the finish line first. The age range for our runners went from 6 years old to 71 years old! With close to 40 volunteers, we had over 200 people on the church grounds for the race. Over $400 was raised, along with close to 250 non-perishable food items - all being donated to Faith United Methodist's Faith Kitchen. Again, a huge "thank you" to all the walkers, runners and volunteers who helped make the 2nd annual "Run To The Resurrection" a big success ! We look forward to an even bigger event next April and we hope you will be a part of it!
