HILLTOP HERALD

November 2008

MONONA UNITED METHODIST CHURCH

STEWARDSHIP CAMPAIGN

"Celebrate the Faith"

The theme for this year’s stewardship campaign is something with which we can all identify. We come together as a congregation by sharing faith. The scriptures provide direction for developing our faith and implementing it in our daily lives--via faith disciplines. Throughout October, we have had bulletin inserts which provided guidance for self-reflection and ideas for more outward actions. You may share how these experiences have impacted your life by filling out the form that was in the Stewardship dinner program. There are additional forms in the Narthex. They will be posted in a display in the Narthex. Please return your pledge card either to worship on November 2 or 9, or send them back to the church office. If you haven’t received a pledge card, please contact the church office at 222-1633.

CHRISTMAS PROGRAM

Mark your calendars for the Children’s Christmas Program on Sunday, December 14 for the 10:45 am worship service. The program is "A Light at Christmas." Please make sure to have your child attend Sunday School weekly to rehearse for the play.

THANKSGIVING EVE, EVE SERVICE

We will once again worship in a more ecumenical spirit, as we join with Immaculate Heart of Mary Roman Catholic Church for a Thanksgiving service on Tuesday, November 25 at 7:00pm. The service will be held at Immaculate Heart this year, 5101 Schofield Street. Pastor Dave will be the preacher for the evening. We are continuing on Tuesday evening, hoping more people may not have left town yet and will be able to come to worship. Please invite your friends and neighbors to this ecumenical service, as we begin our celebrations of Thanksgiving together. You are invited to bring canned foods that night, which will be donated to the food pantry.

SAINTS DAY TO BE OBSERVED

November 1 is All Saints Day, the day the church sets aside to remember those who have died, especially those from our fellowship and families who have died during this past year. Because the 1st falls on a Saturday, we will be observing All Saints Day on Sunday, November 2. Persons are invited to bring to worship, the names of people who have been a part of their life, who have died since last November 1st. During the prayer time, people will be invited to share those names. Or if you prefer, there will be a basket in the entryway of the church, to submit names before each service, so they can be read aloud.

PASTOR’S COLUMN

Dear Friends,

I like what Thomas L. Are writes in his book, My Gospel of Stewardship. He describes stewardship as a "Life Style Plan." Stewardship is more an act that is performed. It is a way of life.

Stewardship involves laying a solid foundation upon which to build a Christian life. That foundation includes: Worship – getting to know God and yourself; Christian Education – improving your mind in order to magnify the gifts God has given to you; Service – allowing yourself to be used for the good of others and for the glory of God; Giving – sharing your resources freely, since all that you have and all that you are have been given to you by God; Reconciliation – creating, healing, or enhancing loving relationships with others in order to break down the barriers that separate us. Wow!

I challenge each of us to expand our perception of Christian stewardship. Think of it as more than a pledge envelope or holding an office in the church. Think of stewardship as a deeper, more holistic way of Christian living that will gradually lead to great "selfless discovery."

Yours in Christ,
Dave

NOVEMBER BLENDED WORSHIP

Our next Blended Worship Service will be November 16, at the 10:45am service. If you enjoy a mix of contemporary and traditional music, you may want to plan to be with us at that service. The early service will stay just the way it is, so if you like a traditional service, you always have that weekly option at 8:30am.

CHRISTIAN CARE GIVING AVAILABLE

A Note from Pastor Dave

One the richest experiences in my pastoral career has been my involvement in Stephen Ministry. What is Stephen Ministry? It’s a ministry program that seeks to train and deploy laypersons to provide one-on-one confidential Christian care giving within a congregation. Someday, I hope we can have such a ministry at MUMC. I took lots of courses in pastoral care in seminary. They were wonderful, but Stephen Ministry gave me a theology of Christian care giving. Basically, we are all children of God – people matter to God, so all people should matter to us.

This is my way of saying that you matter to me. I am available to you if you have a personal need that you would like to discuss. If you are facing a crisis in your life, I want to be here for you. If you are going in the hospital or having surgery, please let me know ahead of time. If you have a spiritual question or if you have a question about the church, I would love to know what is on your mind. If you have a concern about the ministry of our church, please share it with me. I want our ministry to be excellent for God.

I want to be available because I wish our church to be an environment of care and nurture. I am available through email, but it’s not always reliable. You can contact me through the church office where private voice mail is available to you. A call to my cell phone is great because I am on the move a lot! The number is 512-3211. Our home phone number is 825-9960.

I love this verse from Ephesians - "To equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until all of us come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ" (Ephesians 4:12-13). Christian care giving builds up the body of Christ. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to serve you.

There will be envelopes in our bulletin for us to give to one of the yearly offering askings from our denomination. This particular offering supports scholarships and loans for United Methodist students, throughout our nation.

NEW UPPER ROOMS ARE HERE!

The Upper Room is a great little devotional book that many people use for daily reading to center on a Bible verse and read a short meditation and prayer to start or finish your day. The new November-December issue has arrived and is in the Narthex information center. Feel free to take one home. We have large-print editions and Spanish versions if those would be more helpful to you.

NOVEMBER MISSION OFFERINGS

Second Harvest Foodbank – Feeding the Hungry of Southern Wisconsin

You can help - $1 provides 7 meals. On any given day, an estimated 103,000 people, including nearly 39,000 children, may go to bed hungry in southern Wisconsin. For these families, food insecurity is a way of life. Second Harvest, with your help, is a vital link between donated food and funds, and every hungry man, woman and child in southern Wisconsin. Eliminating hunger is a crucial mission, and we are doing all what we can to make sure no one in our community goes to bed hungry tonight. We are fortunate to have your support in our efforts to achieve this goal.

Over 80 manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and retailers support Second Harvest through their generous food donations. These donations consist primarily of surplus and unsaleable grocery products that might otherwise go to waste. Charitable food programs make regular visits to Second Harvest's Madison warehouse to select the food that they need. Last year, nearly 6 million pounds of grocery items were distributed to our network of over 400 charitable food programs (food pantries, shelters, meal sites and Kids Cafes). This network of charitable programs provides food assistance to more than 77,000 people in need in southern Wisconsin each year.

In 2006, Second Harvest Foodbank of Southern Wisconsin marked its 20th anniversary. Please consider making a donation to this much needed mission and mark your offering envelope/check "Second Harvest".

UPPER ROOM DISCIPLINES

Anyone who is interested in ordering the Upper Room Disciplines for 2009, may call Kay in the church office, 222-1633 by December 7. It is a book of daily devotions offering fresh insights into daily Bible readings. The cost is around $11.00.

ADVENT BIBLE STUDY

Beginning November 30, Pastor Sandra Gaylord will lead an adult study called "What Do You Want For Christmas?" Based on a study by James W. Moore, and assuming that most of us would like something more than the stuff we buy at the store, it looks at gifts that the Christ-Child brings, things that money cannot buy: Hope, Faith, Freedom and Life. We will look at Scripture as well as some classic Christmas stories such as Dickens’ "A Christmas Carol" and O. Henry’s "The Gifts of the Magi" for insight. The study will continue for the Sundays before Christmas at 9:30 am. If you are interested, please sign up in the church office so we can plan for materials.

TOP TEN LIST IN THE BULLETIN

Don’t forget that you can add items to the Top Ten list that appears in the bulletin each week for other members of our congregation to volunteer for. All you have to do is email your needs to Amanda Hinthorn at dwwillie10@yahoo.com by the end of the day Tuesday. Amanda will be sure to include your needs on the sheet for that Sunday.

READ ‘EM & MEET

The book club will meet on Sunday, November 2 @ 2pm at the home of Doreen Peterson to discuss, The New Woman, by Jon Hassler. Dessert will be provided by Jeanette Williams. Visitors and new members are always welcome to attend.

VOLUNTEER SIGN UP DAYS

 On Sunday, November 2 & 9 we will have the opportunity to sign up to serve as liturgists, greeters, fellowship hour hosts, ushers, acolytes and nursery helpers. Please consider serving. WE NEED YOU!!

A SEASON OF SERVICE

As we begin to think about the end of the year here at Monona United Methodist Church, we all must revaluate where our time and talents are being used in service. The Committee on Lay Leadership has already begun the fall nominating process that will culminate with our church conference in December. We all know how dedicated the members of this congregation are to seeing our ministry areas succeed and reach the most people. If you are feeling called to serve in an area such as trustees, finance, stewardship, or others, please contact Volunteer Coordinator Amanda Hinthorn at 698-1895 or dwwillie10@yahoo.com. Also feel free to discuss different areas of ministry and have your questions answered by Amanda or Lay Leader Kendi Parvin. We would love to help you find a place to use the gifts and skills God is calling you to use.

CONGRATULATIONS

To Leslie Horst and Tom Gross who were married here on October 11.

To Trisha Gorst and Gregorio Juarez who were married here on October 18.

You purchase gift cards for businesses you already frequent. The business makes a donation to MUMC Middle & High School Youth in your name. Your participation will make it possible for the youth to attend activities like Sr. High Convo in November and Jr. High Convo in May. Check out the poster in the Narthex for more information. You can order online at www.simplifiedscrip.com or leave your order form in the office with your check. Please contact Kay in the office (222-1633) to answer any questions.

After November 2, a Christmas tree will be in the narthex where you will find each child’s wish list and information attached to an ornament. Simply remove the card of your choice, fill in your information, and return your unwrapped gift to church. Call Kay in the office at 222-1633 with any questions.

    1. Buy renewable energy
    2. Improve energy efficiency
    3. Install solar
    4. Reduce car emissions
    5. Plant trees
    6. Conserve water

    Specific ways you can improve energy efficiency:

    By taking these simple steps, we can save electricity and natural gas equivalent to the use of more than 20,000 homes. See www.mpoweringmadison.com/can for more information.

    BUILDING DEBT

    The Finance Committee is pleased to announce that our ability to pay off the building debt is in sight. Due to our successful Building Fund drive and our giving congregation, it is very likely that we will be able to pay off the building debt before the end of the year. In fact, there is a possibility that we will have a surplus. If that is the case, it is the Finance Committee’s recommendation that we set aside any remaining funds for the continuing improvement to our facilities. Pastor Dave is in the process of meeting with the congregation to determine what building projects are of the highest priority in the minds of the congregation, and will be discussing the results with the Administrative Council soon. Any remaining funds would be a great start for any approved plans going forward. Congratulations to the Monona United Methodist congregation on this wonderful achievement!

    PIANO RECITAL

    With special guest, Mrs. Marie Metry!

    You are invited to a piano recital: "Great To Know You, Mr. Gershwin!"

    Friday, November 21, @ 6:30pm at Ward-Brodt Music Mall. Presented by students of Dianne Totten, this 1-hour recital will feature the distinctive sounds, songs, and rhythms of George Gershwin - solos, duets, ensembles, contests, PRIZES, and surprises too! Marie Metry has generously donated her collection of "Etude" magazines from George Gershwin's era and will be personally presenting these collectors' items to Dianne's students, who are enormously excited!! Please join us, won't you?

    A STEWARDSHIP MESSAGE

    #248 Giving Is … thankful stewardship.  "It is good to give thanks to the Lord" (Psalm 92:1)

    "No More Barns" Read Luke 12:13-21

    Jesus cautions … "Take Care! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of possessions."

    Our society has taught us to dream big. We are taught to accumulate, invest, and enjoy life to the maximum. Our slogan is, "Charity begins at home!" But I think Jesus would say…charity does not end there. Economic downturns have a way of reminding us how temporary life really is.

    Perhaps the most important words of this parable occur in Luke 12:20 following God’s announcement to the rich man that his life would end on the very night he was celebrating his abundant harvest. "And the things you have prepared, whose will they be?"

    Good stewardship means making plans to pass on all that we do not need. If you are ready to begin making plans, call the Wisconsin United Methodist Foundation (888-903-9863). We can help you make good plans.
