Why Do Lent? So, what is this Lent thing all about anyway? Lent is the time in the Christian year when we remember Jesus suffering and sacrifice. It is a difficult season. We were joyous in Christmas when we celebrated Jesus birth. We were filled with wonder in Epiphany when we heard the magnificent stories of Jesus’ baptism, His miracles, and His transfiguration. But now the road gets tough. The lessons are challenging. As we recognize that Christ gave up His life for us as an atonement for our sins, it has been a common practice during Lent to give up something in our own lives that might keep us from Christ. The cliché is to give up chocolate over the 40 days of Lent. (By the way, the movie Chocolat, starring Juliette Binoche and Johnny Depp, does an entertaining job of explaining why Christians could make a more lasting impact by giving up something more significant than chocolate during the 40 days.) What should Christians give up during Lent? Are there habits that keep you from drawing closer to God? Are there things you do to excess that ought to be done in more moderation? Would a reduction in TV or computer time, for instance, give you more time for prayer? Or, would you be willing to turn the tables? Is there some spiritual practice that you could take on for this short season in the Christian year? I’ve asked the pastoral staff, as well as Rev. Lisa Brown Cole and Rev. Jack Snyder, to tell us what they believe Christians should give up. Each Wednesday in Lent, beginning with Ash Wednesday on Feb. 13th, we will hear a different speaker talk to us about things that could make a lasting impact in our lives if we could only give up certain traits. Some of the topics these speakers will be addressing include giving up worry, control, hatred, blinders, and discouragement, among others. I hope you will join us each Wednesday at 6:30 pm in the sanctuary as we learn some new ways to have a holy Lent. And may the Peace of Christ be with you, Pastor Doug

MUSIC MINISTRY
Soli Deo Gloria - J.S Bach used to write at the bottom of his many beautiful sacred works, “Soli Deo Gloria.” That translates, “To God Alone Be the Glory.” Those of us serving in music ministry totally agree with Bach’s dedication. When we perform, through God’s grace, we have a way to speak to God, or for God, through music!! What a fantastic gift and pleasure! And if it Notes from Nan somehow blesses you, all the better! Sometimes, a musical offering is followed by applause from the congregation. We receive this as a worshipful response (“Clap your hands, all you peoples!”). When it happens, you may see Nan and others point upward, as an affirmation to all, that all of the glory goes to God alone! We understand your response as an “Amen!” or “Glory!” You are invited and welcome to join in our music ministry – no experience is necessary; the only requirement is a heart that wants to give God all the glory! Please contact Nan de Andrade, Music Minister, to learn more. (nan@aldersgate.org)

RECOGNIZING OUR LAITY We have a tradition at Aldersgate of recognizing members of our laity whose faith is demonstrated in simple ways. The guidelines used in making these selections are : Good Samaritan – someone who helps others, who goes out of their way, or even against the grain, to provide assistance to those in need. Second Mile – who consistently goes ‘above and beyond’ what’s expected.
SAINTS AMONG US AWARD Good Samaritan is given out annually to someone who helps others, who often goes out of their way or even against the grain, to provide assistance to those who need our help.
Good Samaritan Carol Brese
In a world where we so highly value leadership, we are reminded that Jesus calls us all not to lead, but to follow Him. This year’s winner of the Good Samaritan Award is a determined follower of Jesus. She is a Greeter filled with the gift of hospitality, she is
a Stephen Minister who shows compassion and caring. Along with her husband Dave, she leads a small group called Life Care that helps disciples to grown in faith. She is a prayer warrior, who visits with the sick regularly every week. In fact, she may have won this award simply for her contribution as someone who visits those in the church who have a need. But she also prays with strangers, as evidenced by her being out front every single month at our Drive Through Prayer. And
despite having such a glowing resume in the life of the church, the first thing you will notice about this woman is her humility and gentle spirit. In fact, she will be embarrassed to death to even be recognized for this award. Nevertheless, it is an honor to be able to recognize my friend and neighbor Carol Brese as our Good Samaritan award winner for 2012. By Doug Lain

SECOND MILE AWARD The Second Mile recognition is given for folks who consistently go above and beyond what’s expected. This year’s recipients are Betty and Dale Wickham.
Since starting Alpha here at Aldersgate in 2008, 188 people in 9 classes have participated in this life-changing ministry. Recently Dale and Betty also led the Marriage Course, which invited Dale and Betty have been people from our church consistently faithful in and community to their outreach through encounter their marriage the Alpha ministry over in new and exciting the past 11 years, starting ways. The number of in 2001 when they lived lives that Dale and Betty in western New York.
are impacting and changing for the better is a witness to servant leadership. It is my pleasure to present the 2012 Second Mile recognition to Dale and Betty Wickham. By: John Hall
COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS Interfaith Hospitality Network How does Aldersgate open its doors and its hearts to the IHN families? Setting up the guest rooms and making signs for the doors“Welcome!” and “Jesus loves you!” Driving guests between the church and the Day House, with accommodations for a mom who’s job meant that she needed a late pick-up most nights. Preparing warm, delicious and nutritious
meals, serving those meals with love, and making our guests feel welcomed and valued. Staying overnight with a 5:00am wake up time—out the door by 5:30am!!
-Paula Veasey for inspiring and corralling the Youth and for getting those cots where they belong! -Cathy Moser for taking care of the laundry.
A special thanks to: - Our youth, who reached out to our teenaged IHN guest to make him feel a part of their fellowship. - Jane Bahor for organizing transportation during a very challenging week. -Anabela Mendes for recruiting and scheduling the overnight hosts.
To all of you who make all of these things happen, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS CONDUIT I am sure many of you know, one of our sister churches in CONDUIT, Mt. Level Missionary Baptist, sponsors an excellent youth mentoring program, the "Mt. Level Angels Life Skills and Basketball Program." Mr. Bryan Umstead coordinates this program, which teaches the children life skills, Biblical principles, manners, teamwork, etc. It is a joy to watch him and the "coaching staff" work with these youngsters. Aldersgate participates in this ministry by opening the Family Life Center to them for practice and by helping provide meals. In the past, Sunday School classes, UMM and individuals have graciously provided meals. Would your group please consider providing a meal this year? There are 48 children and 6 coaches for a total of 54. The 6 - 9 year olds finish practice at 7:15 p.m. The 10 - 12 year age group finishes at 8:30 p.m. (approx. 24 in each group) A bagged meal with sandwiches, chips, cookies and a drink, would be great ! Also, hot dogs, pizza, etc. served in the Family Life Center. Coach Bryan prefers that they drink a boxed juice, or water. We would sincerely appreciate any help you can offer this year to feed these deserving "angels." The dates are provided below. Please pass this information along to any groups you believe would be interested in helping with this ministry. Monday – 1/28/13, Friday – 2/1/13, Monday – 2/4/13, Friday – 2/8/13, Monday – 2/15/13, Friday – 2/22/13, Monday – 3/1/13, Friday – 3/8/13, Friday – 3/15/13, Monday – 3/18/13, Friday – 3/22/13, Monday – 4/1/13. This mission is serving 100 kids, the majority from Oxford Manor. More coaches are needed, as well as drivers to take the 6 teams to their Saturday games. The drivers need to have a passenger endorsement license. If you can help in these ways, call Coach Bryan Umstead at 919-389-2887. Please contact Peggy S. Allen www.peggydale@earthlink.net 919-906-0566, if you can help. Mt. Level also asked for help with the Wednesday night Bible Study they have at their church, again serving many children from Oxford Manor. If you feel led to help with this ministry, call Barbara Cameron at 919-681-4188.
