Completed Lenten Journey

With the passing of Holy Week, we completed our Lenten journey. As you probably know, the purpose of Lent is the preparation of the believer—through prayer, penitence, and self-denial—for the annual commemoration during Holy Week of the Death and Resurrection of Jesus, which recalls the events linked to the Passion of Christ and culminates in Easter, the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Following Palm Sunday, Pastor Mike and Aletta and the choir joined the readers in presenting the Candlelite Tenebrae Service on Maundy Thursday. This service involved many people in presenting this very meaningful service. Our small, but very talented choir [Jim and Verlyn Hearn, Sue and Brian Payne, Helen Smoker, Carol West, Al and Norma Hayes] spent several extra hours preparing the music. Special thanks goes to Helen and Carol on the beautiful duet they performed. The readers [Norma Fawley, Sandy Diehl, Kara Dishman, Judy Alfona, Ron West, Kylie Dishman, and Peggy Ciula] did an excellent job in reading the scripture depicting the story of Jesus' last supper, trial and crucifixion. Thanks Alletta for running the power point which helped to tell the story. Our ushers, Jim Felts and Mark Herring, helped to make the communion a special sacrament and Jojo Sheler and Rocky Ciula were instrumental in turning off the lights at the appropriate times during the service. Jojo also served as the acolyte for the service. At the end of the service, the sanctuary was stripped of all objects, including the lilies by all who attended the service and left dark and barren.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Easter Sunday

At 6:30 am, the Ciula's, Al Hayes and Aletta were busy filling balloons with helium, tying ribbon to the balloons and putting them on the pews in the sanctuary. At 7:30 am, the Sunrise service began where Pastor Mike and the congregation stood outside the sanctuary as Jerry Kammerer, Jim Hearn, Al Hayes and Aletta Heath presented the drama in the sanctuary. After the drama, Pastor Mike led the congregation into the sanctuary with the objects that were taken out Thursday eve.

A delicious carry-in breakfast followed the service which the Prisca Circle set up and cleaned up for us. Thank you to Charles and Norma Fawley for decorating the tables.

Pastor Mike, in his ministries, has followed the practices of the early church by performing the Sacrament of Baptism on Easter Sunday. So, in the Easter service at 9:30 am, Pastor Mike asked if there was anyone who would like to be baptized and Kailtain Smith [a young newcomer in our church] accepted Pastor Mike's invitation. Kailtain's family stood with her as Pastor Mike baptized Kailtain. Then Mike baptized Kylie Dishman and received Kylie, Jim Felts, Jim Rooney, and Mark Herring into the membership of LUMC.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Eastertide Season

On Easter Sunday, we began a new season in the church–Eastertide. [March 24—May 10, 2008] On Easter and the 50 days following Easter, the color changes to white celebrating the risen Lord. Therefore, the altar cloth and the choir robes will be white. This season ends with the Ascension of the Lord. In this season, Pastor Mike will read an Easter liturgy each Sunday followed by lighting a candle on the candelabra to celebrate the 50 days that Jesus was on earth before his ascension.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This Month At Leesburg United Methodist Church

On April 6, 13 and 27, we will finish the last 3 sessions of Rob Webber's "Beginnings" series. On April 20, we will skip Rob Webber and, instead, do a Praise Sunday service. Norma Hayes is planning a surprise for this Sunday.

Oakwood Inn {reprint from e-Hum – Hoosier United Methodists e-News Mar. 20}

SYRACUSE, Ind. – Members of the Oakwood Foundation for Adult Ministries board announced yesterday, (Wednesday, March 19) they returned the property, formerly known as Oakwood Park, to the North Indiana Conference of The United Methodist Church. The foundation said it was no longer able to operate the Oakwood Christian Retreat & Conference Center in Syracuse as an adult Christian ministry.

Oakwood, on the northwest shore of Lake Wawasee in northern Indiana, includes the 77-room Oakwood Inn and restaurant, program center, academy center, a chapel and 42 acres dominated by tall oak trees.

The North Indiana Conference Board of Trustees officially received the property on March 19 in accordance with Oakwood Foundation by-laws and the action of the 1993 North Indiana Conference session of the church, when the Oakwood Foundation took possession of the property.

In court documents, the Oakwood Foundation said it would complete its commitments to existing customers by continuing operations of the ministry through Labor Day of this year with financial assistance from the North Indiana Conference. The foundation will cease activities at Oakwood at the end of the day on Monday, Sept. 1. Individuals and groups who wish to visit and use the facilities need to make arrangements with Oakwood to do so before Labor Day.
The Trustees of the North Indiana Conference voted to receive the property, with the approval of Indiana Area Bishop Mike Coyner and Conference’s district superintendents acting between annual conference sessions as prescribed by church law. The Trustees also voted to sell the entire property. After the property is sold and all debts are paid, the Board of Trustees will bring a proposal for its approval to the North Indiana Conference about the use of any net proceeds.
Oakwood Park was founded in 1893 by the Evangelical Church, a predecessor denomination of The United Methodist Church.

New Hymnals

The General Board of Discipleship has recommended to the General Conference a new official hymnal for United States United Methodists to replace the last hymnal published in 1989. At the present time, work on a four-year music and worship study fro the General Conference has been completed and the report can be seen online at www.gbod.org/worship/musicstudy The General Conference will consider the proposal when it meets Apr. 23-May 2 in Ft. Worth, TX.

Your Church at Church

Correction from last month: It was reported that the profits from the January Polk Sale was to be put in the general fund. The profits were to be put in the Building Fund instead of the general fund.

Lori Everest has been working with the Oswego Pre-School personal and they have expressed their desire to use our facilities for their Pre-School starting in June. The agreement to use the church still has to be approved by the Trustee's and Church Council.

The Mother/Child Banquet date has been changed from May 10th to May 3rd. Please mark your calendar concerning this change.

In the early part of May, a clean-up day is going to be scheduled for both the outside and inside of the church. Please consider taking time to participate in this important activity.

At the last Polk Sale, we not only had help from our "regular" crew, but had help from friends also. Thank you Bee Wynkoop, Julie Smoker and her friend, Nicole Smoker and her friend and Andrew Lincoln. We at LUMC truly appreciate you time and help at the sale.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"This and That"

Mabel Herron sent a note letting us know that she will be home in early April. She stated that she celebrated her 94th birthday Easter Sunday, the first time she can remember her birthday falling on Easter. She also stated that she has sold her Florida home and is very busy sorting and packing.

Please mark May 18 on your calendar as Pastor Mike is planning on honoring the graduates. If you know of some one graduating this spring, please notify Pastor Mike or the office.

I would like to have pictures from last year's Memorial Day parade to use in the power point on Memorial Day Sunday, May 25. I would also like to have pictures of veterans from our congregation to use as we honor our servicemen on that day.

I would also like to have pictures of Fellowship hours, Sunday school classes, and Tippy services. I would also like pictures of our special music guests during the summer.

Just a reminder: We still collect aluminum cans, prescription bottles, Campbell Labels for Education, and food for Our Father's House and CCC. We also collect soaps, shampoos, toothbrushes and toothpaste, etc. for Beeman Home. As you start spring cleaning, please consider what you could donate to the annual Sidewalk Sale in June.

Ron West and Jim Hearn spent part of a day at the church replacing the kitchen faucet. Great job, guys! We "gals" really appreciate your efforts.

Lenten Season Begins

Today, Feb. 3, marks the ending of the Epiphany season as we celebrate Transfiguration Sunday.

Why does the celebration of the Transfiguration take place just before Lent in the UM church? We celebrate the revelation of Christ’s glory “before the passion” so that we may “be strengthened to bear our cross and be changed into his likeness.”

We will also view the third session of Rob Weber “Longing To Belong” DVD. This session is entitled “What Are We Hungry For” which will focus on Holy Communion. As it is the first of the month, we will also have Holy Communion. Norma Hayes will present the special music with a Power Point Message in Music highlighting the Transfiguration Sunday scripture.

Lenten season will begin on Wed., Feb. 6 with a short Ash Wednesday Service starting at 7:00 pm.

On the second Sunday of Lent, February 10 we will have our Praise Sunday. This has been moved up one week due to the absence of the Praise Team on the third week of this month.

The third Sunday of Lent, February 17, Pastor Mike will continue with the Rob Weber fourth session of “Longing To Belong” DVD. This session is entitled “What Happens When We Pray Together?” Carol West and Helen Smoker will present the special music.

On the last Sunday of February and the fourth Sunday of Lent, we will view Rob Weber fifth session of “Longing To Belong” DVD entitled “What’s the Deal With Miracles? Because some of the choir will still be down south, Norma Hayes will again present the special music with a Power Point Message in Music.

Lenten Wreath
On Sunday, February 10th, as you enter the sanctuary, you will notice a new Lenten wreath at the altar. The wreath will contain six candles, one for each Sunday in Lent. The Advent Candle wreath contains four candles, one for each Sunday and the Christ Candle for Christmas eve. At Lent, all six candles will be lit the first Sunday, then we will extinguish a candle each week to remind us of the approaching darkness of betrayal and death.

30 Pieces of Silver
We will again collect 30 pieces of silver during the Lenten Season in remembrance of price Judas received for helping the chief priests arrest Jesus. Plastic bags will be passed out on the first two Sundays of Lent. Place one coin in the bag each day beginning February 20th and bring your 30 pieces of silver to the Maundy Thursday service, March 20th. If you are unable to attend that evening, bring your coins to one of the two Easter services, March 23.
<\span>
Angels in Action
Last Monday, several members of our church manned the “kitchen” at Tim Polk’s tractor sale in Leesburg,. Thank you, Lori Everest, for chairing the sale.

A special thanks goes to those who manned the frigid weather on Jan. 19th and Jan. 26th as they picked up the needed equipment from 6 & 15 and set up in Leesburg. Lori Everest, Ellsworth Everest a Ellsworth employee and Ron West set up for the sale on Sat. the 26th. Then the Everests’ put in a long day plowing snow for their customers after they cleared our sidewalks and parking area.

Also a special thanks to Ron West, Shirley Polk and Helen Smoker who made the chili for the sale. Ron transferred the chili to Jones for refrigeration before the sale.

The Christian Church Calendar
Are you aware that the Christian church has a calendar that focuses on the life and ministry of Jesus Christ? The calendar is organized around two major centers of Sacred Time: Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany; and Lent, Holy Week, and Easter concluding at Pentecost, also known as Ordinary Time. This year the church calendar is divided into these seasons:

Advent [Dec. 2—Dec. 24, 2007]
Christmas (The 12 days of Christmas) [Dec. 25, 2007—Jan. 5, 2008]
Epiphany [Jan. 6—Feb. 5, 2008]
Ash Wednesday [Feb. 6, 2008]
Lent [Feb. 6—March 22, 2008]
Holy Week [March 16-22, 2008]
Maundy Thursday [March 20, 2008]
Good Friday [March 21, 2008]
Easter [March 23, 2008]
Eastertide [Mar. 24—Apr.l 10, ‘08]
Pentecost [May 11—Nov. 29, 2008]

The church also uses colors to designate the changing of the seasons. The Advent season color is royal blue (we use purple) representing the coming King Jesus. On Christmas Eve, the color changes to white and gold celebrating the purity of the infant born in the manger. Epiphany also is represented by white and gold which signifies celebrations, newness and hope that God revealed himself through Jesus Christ. Starting the Lent season with Ash Wednesday through Good Friday, the color becomes purple to acknowledge the somber time of the eventual crucifixion of Jesus Christ. On Easter and the 50 days following Easter, the color changes to white celebrating the risen Lord. Pentecost Sunday is red as we remember Holy Fire of the Spirit. The color for the rest of the Pentecost or Ordinary Times season is green as it reminds us of new life and growth.

We are now in the season of Epiphany. Epiphany is the Greek word for “appearance” or revelation”. Christians commemorates the visitation of the Magi to the child Jesus on this day, January 6. In the season of Epiphany, the second Sunday, {Jan. 13} is designated as remembrance of the Baptism of the Lord by John the Baptist. The last Sunday of Epiphany is known as Transfiguration Sunday which will occur on Feb. 3 this year.

The Season of Lent
Excerpts from “Connecting Worship and Daily Living in Lent” by Daniel Benedict
[Daniel Benedict retired from the staff of the General Board of Discipleship in August 2005.
Lent is a time of preparation for the initiation of people into the Christian life in baptism. It is also a time for the church to journey together toward Easter and the reaffirmation of the baptismal covenant. Lent is not about being miserable, sad, and funereal in anticipation of Good Friday. The Sundays of Lent are not part of the forty days of Lent and so remain "little Easters," as are all Sundays. Fasting and giving up something can be part of Lenten disciplines, but so can taking on some things. How does your church help seekers and members to connect worship and daily growth in spiritual, relational, emotional, and bodily fitness?

“My Preparation for Easter" [found on the following page] is a resource that you might use to take an inward and outward journey towards Easter. Extra copies will also be found in the narthex.

Sunday is called “the eighth day” in a number of early Christian writings. This is why many baptismal fonts have eight sides. Remember that Lent is not merely about penitence, but also [and primarily] about preparation for baptism.
Easter follows a lunar, rather than a solar, calendar and is celebrated on the Sunday that follows the first full moon after March 21, the vernal (spring) equinox. Therefore Easter cannot fall earlier than March 22 or later than April 25. Between 1875 and 2124, Easter has not fallen once on March 22 and only has or will fall twice on March 23: 1913 and 2008.

My Preparation for Easter
(Check the ones you desire or feel prompted to do; circle the ones you then decide to do.)

After initial treatments, it was decided that Andon could go to Goshen for continued treatments. The family is elated that Andon is not experiencing adverse effects from his treatments.

Norman Jeffers
Norman Jeffers, Peggy Ciula’s father’s, health has deteriorated in the past month and is now in Westminster Village in Muncie.

Norma’s Notes
Again, as a reminder, I am locking the doors unless I know that a meeting has been scheduled in the church or if I know that you are going to be coming to the church. If you can’t reach me on the church phone, please call me on my cell phone: 265-8230. Thanks

If your are still receiving your newsletter through the mail, but have an e-mail address, would you consider having the newsletter sent to you through your e-mail? I know that it’s a small reduction in mailing and printing, but, every little bit does help our budget.

From Lori Hearn
My family and I really appreciated your cards, thoughts and prayers you gave me during my recent recuperation from a broken shoulder. I’m happy to report that I am able to return to my normal life. Thank you, LUMC, for your loving care. Lori

Our Sympathy
The LUMC congregation extends our sympathy to Virginia Huffman and her family on the passing of Wally on Jan. 11, one day before their 65 anniversary.

The Chair Lift
As many of you know, Lori and Keith Everest have been trying to find someone who will be able to repair the upstairs chair lift. The chair lift was repaired once, but in only two weeks, it again “froze up” and is again inoperable. Lori is still waiting for a reply from a company to see if they can repair our 30 plus year old chair lift. We are sorry for the inconvenience that the broken chair lift is causing several in our congregation.

It depends whose hands it's in.

Two fish and 5 loaves of bread in my hands is a couple of fish sandwiches.

Two fish and 5 loaves of bread in God's hands will feed thousands.

It depends whose hands it's in.

Nails in my hands might produce a birdhouse.

Nails in Jesus Christ's hands will produce salvation for the entire world.

It depends whose hands it's in.

As you see now it depends whose hands it's in.

So put your concerns, your worries, your fears, your hopes, your dreams, your families and your relationships in God's hands because. . .

It depends whose hands it's in.

This message is now in your hands.

What will YOU do with it?

It Depends on Who's Hands it's in!!

January Newsletter

January 6, 2008

Welcome to 2008!


After the busy Advent season, Mike and Aletta took a week off for a well deserved vacation. Mike will be back in the pulpit today, January 6th. In his absence, Rev. Ken Mansfield filled in for Pastor Mike last Sunday. Not only did Pastor’s Mike and Aletta go on vacation, but the choir also took a week or two off for some well deserved R and R. However, it was a delight to have Pastor Ken lead us in worship as he again gave a very inspiring message. Thank you, Ken and Nancy, for being with us last week.

After church, several of us stayed to take down the decorations. Today, we will get back into our “regular schedule” of having a service followed by Sunday school.

This month's planned activities

Today, January 6, Pastor Mike will again be in the pulpit. As it is the first Sunday of the month, we will have communion. Hopefully, enough choir members will be back in town for the choir to sing on the 13th. On the 20th, we will have Praise Sunday and at this time, plans are being finalized for this service. Pennies Sunday will occur on the 27th at our regular service. Pastor Mike is also working on the Ash Wednesday service that will be held on Feb. 6th at 7:00 in the sanctuary.

Because we cancelled two weeks in succession due to the weather, the Sunday school class will continue the study of “A Christmas Carol” in January. It is interesting to note that Charles Dickens wrote “A Christmas Carol” was written in 1846 when Christmas was basically not celebrated anymore. After this book was published and circulated, Christianity was once more revived and people in Europe began to celebrate Advent and Christmas. Come to Sunday school and discover the prevalence of this book.

These committees are scheduled to meet this month: Vision; Finance/Trustee; and Nominations.

Upcoming Tim and Dennis Polk Sales

We will provide food and drinks for Tim Polk’s January 28th (Monday) Sale in Leesburg and also provide the same for Dennis Polk’s March 7th (Friday) and March 8th (Saturday) Sale in New Paris.

As many of you know, most of the equipment and items that is used for the sales are stored at Dennis Polk’s in New Paris. Therefore, this month we will need to transport the equipment back to Leesburg for the Jan. sale. This part of the sale will take place on Saturday, January 19th at 9:00 am. Then, on the following Saturday, January 26th, we will need to unload the equipment and set up the kitchen for the sale that will begin on Monday, January 28th at 9:30 am. Workers need to be at Tim Polk’s building at 8:00 to get the food ready for sale. Tear down will be done at the end of the one day sale. Thursday, January 17th, we will need people to meet at the Lion’s Club at 9:00 am to make Sloppy Joes for both sales. Friday, January 25th, we will again meet at the Lion’s Club to make the soup.

The famous sign-up sheets will be out on Sunday, January 13th along with the “Pop Board”.

December Angels

Our “new” snow blower that was given to the church last year was put to the test this past month. Ron West and Jim Hearn “played” with the snow blower then used the old fashion snow shovels to clean off the front porch and steps of the parsonage. Others have also cleaned the same area again and again after each snow. Lori Everest and/or some Everest have cleaned the parking areas. Thank you to all who have taken the time to make the church property safer to use.

Wow! What a difference a lot of tender loving care, paint and plaster can make to pantry. One day the entire pantry was sitting all over the kitchen – the next day the kitchen was empty and the pantry was reorganized. The musty smell is gone and it will be real easy to go to the pantry to pick up whatever is needed for the Polk Sales. Thanks to the kitchen angels, who ever you are, for putting the pantry together again.

Thanks to the Poinsettia team: The Jim Hearn’s, Hayes’, Pastor Mike, Ken Mounsey and Linda Schrader and anyone else I might have forgotten for meeting at 7:30 am on a Saturday morning to unload and place the poinsettias in the sanctuary. Also, a very big thank you to Jojo Sheler for helping to water the 50 poinsettias during the Advent season.

And a big special thanks to my personal angel, Al Hayes, who did a lot of extra things to help out at the church (and home) as I completed the church directory along with the usual bulletins, etc. for the 5 services in December.

Cooks Corner
How to Freeze Pies

With the upcoming Polk Sales, you may want to bake up pies ahead of time and freeze them.

To safely freeze fruit pies:

Unbaked:

Prepare as usual only add extra thickening (1/2 Tbs. of cornstarch or 1 to 2 tablespoons of flour for each pie) and do not vent top crust. Tray-freeze until firm. To prevent sogginess, brush the bottom crust of fruit pies with egg white before adding the filling. Before freezing, wrap pies and cheesecakes securely in several layers of plastic wrap, followed by a layer of aluminum foil.

Baked:

Prepare and bake as usual. Cool completely. Wrap airtight in heavy-duty aluminum foil. Label and freeze.

Pies That Do Not Freeze Well:

Custard pies, meringue pies and cream pies. They will be watery and separate after thawing.

Maximum Storage Time at 0ºF

Baked fruit and pecan type pies-can be frozen for 6 months.

Thawing:

It is much better to freeze a fruit pie before baking than after — the texture suffers substantially if frozen after cooking. If you must, thaw it at room temperature for about three hours, and then crisp it in a 450°F (235°C) oven for about 20 minutes.

If you can freeze the pie before baking it, don’t defrost it when the time comes. Bake it unwrapped at 425°F (220°C) for 15 to 20 minutes, then lower the temperature to 350°F (175°C) for the remainder of the cooking time. The total baking time will be about 20 minutes longer than for an unfrozen pie.

Berry pies and peach pies will have to cook significantly longer because the freezer breaks down the cells of the fruit and the liquid leaches out. Therefore, there is more liquid in the pies that have to cook into syrup.

Thank You’s

Ron and Janet Buchholz wish to thank the LUMC congregation for their thoughts and prayers during Janet’s sister, Joanne Foster’s hip replacement. They also wish to thank you for your cards, calls and prayers and dinner that was prepared for them after Janet’s brother funeral.
Al and I were frankly shocked when Sandy Diehl gave us a gift certificate at the Christmas Eve Service. Your generosity is greatly appreciated. We thank you for your thoughtfulness and warm friendship that you bestow on us.
Al and Norma Hayes

The Care Bears ministry does work. I recently received a phone call from Danielle Robison, a new resident in Leesburg. She received a bear from a member of our church that “Blew her away”. She had a granddaughter who was born in Sept. Winnifer was born in the 28th week of pregnancy and weighed 19 oz. who is also know as “Minnie Winny”. Danielle said the bear “made her year”.

2008 Church Directory Corrections:

Max Anglin was inadvertently left out of the directory this year.

Marguerite Buckingham’s phone number is placed in front of John Buhrt’s name in some books.

Lois Kunce, not Waneta Bishop, is the secretary for Prisca this year.

Our Christmas Families
JoAnne Pound has again agreed to head up the mission project of collecting and distributing gifts and food for 3 families for Christmas. JoAnne and Judy McDermit have prepared small Christmas trees with tags on them with items needed to give to the families. Take a tag or two off the tree, buy the gift, wrap it, and bring it back to the church by Sunday, December 16th. This will give JoAnne and her committee time to organize the gifts and purchase any last minute items that may be needed. The presents will be distributed to the families on Friday, December 21st.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This month's planned activities
Beginning December 2, the advent season begins. If you have ordered a poinsettia, you will need to have your form and money returned to the church by this date. The poinsettias will be delivered to the church on Saturday, Dec. 8th. Norma Hayes would appreciate volunteers coming in Sat. am to help unload the truck and place the poinsettias in the church. Also, she would appreciate help in watering the plants during the next few weeks that they are in the sanctuary. Just let Norma know.

On the third week of Advent, Dec. 16th, we will again have a praise service. Carol West will direct the drama and Al will lead the praise team. This service will include many carols.

On Dec. 23rd, our fourth week in the Advent season, we will not have Sunday school.
Christmas Eve services will again be held at 7:00 pm on Monday, Dec. 24th.

This service will be a service of special music and scripture readings. Pastor Aletta will explain the symbols that we have on our Chrismon tree that is located in the sanctuary.

On December 30th, Pastor Mike and Aletta will be on vacation and Rev. Ken Mansfield will deliver the message. Ken is a friend of Mike's and has been here several times. Be sure to come and make Ken welcomed to our congregation. Also, we will not have Sunday school this day as we will take down and put away the Christmas decorations right after our service. Come and help "hide" the decorations for next year.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lots of parties and fun last month
The congregation met at Shirley and Ellsworth Everest on Sunday, Oct. 28th for the Everest Annual Fall Fest and Hayride. Everyone brought a dish and the Everest’ provided hot dogs, drinks, bonfire and hayride for over 40 people that evening. Everyone had a ball including Janet and Ron Buchholz who consented to become “mummies” – several people wrapped them in toilet paper to see who could make the most authentic looking mummy. Not sure who won because both Ron and Janet were completely covered. How many rolls of paper were used?


Go for it, Waneta!




Waneta Bishop wraps Ron Bucholz in toilet paper at the Everest Annual Fall Fest.

The following Sunday, we met at the church for another carry-in and annual Fall Auction. As usual, the food was great, the turn-out was very good and Dennis Polk and Bob Bishop outdid their selves in conducting the auction. Ken and Carolyn Davidson out bid everyone else and now will decorate their home with the red bull. [Janet Buchholz purchased the bull in Mexico and donated the bull for the first auction 6 years ago. Needless, to say it comes back each year, earns more money each year, and now has quite a history.] This year, the proceeds from the auction were $2787. One side note, there were a few people that had never attended an auction, had a lot of fun and didn’t understand one word that Dennis said.

The following Sunday, the Willows gave a program in the Sanctuary with a love offering of $167.00 that was given back to the church. A free soup supper was organized by Norma Fawley. Again, the evening was enjoyed by all that attended.

Noontime Volunteer Reading Program
As many of you may know, Connie Watters replaced Sandy Allen as librarian at the Leesburg Elementary School. Connie has started a Noontime Volunteer Reading Program to assist students that need help in reading. This is a one-on-one relationship with an adult and a student. You will spend quality time with your student while they eat lunch. You read to them and they read to you. It is very important in a child's life to be read to and for them to read for pleasure. Many of these students don't have the opportunity to read to an adult on a daily basis. This program assists in building self esteem and confidence in these students. If you have some free time and would like to volunteer 1 hour a week from now until April, please contact Connie at: 574-453-4121 or - cwatters@warsaw.k12.in.us

A note from your secretary
I have begun to lock the church as I am in the building by myself for a couple of reasons. Most importantly, our front door will not stay closed when we have any wind to speak of. Therefore, it causes our furnace to kick on more than necessary, so in order to hopefully save some on the heating bill, I will keep the door locked unless I know that there is a planned meeting at the church. I also am locking the door because we have had several men come in asking for money for whatever and I am not equipped to help them with their request.

A special message for our Leesburg Travelers
The Traveler’s will be meeting on Wednesday, December 5th at Richard’s Restaurant at 11:30 am. Esther Berkey and Faye Gross will be your hostess for this outing. If you have not been contacted, please call them to make your reservation.

Special Angels at LUMC
Darcy Deeter and her sister-in-law, Jeanne Sands (Jerry's sister), began the huge job of painting the pantry. The pantry may be small, but it is very tall!. Judy McDermit and her daughter, Melanie Rooney, came in and finished the job. Judy also refinished the wall between the bathroom and the "coffee offset" in the Fellowship Hall.

Thanks, girls, for a job well done.

Some other angels cleaned out the pantry for the painting crews. Who ever you are, thanks!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Charge Conference
This year the charge conference will be held on Sunday, December 2 at North Webster UMC at 3:00 pm in a "cluster" of 10 area churches. The format will be more of a service and will not concentrate on "paper work". Everyone is welcomed to come to the charge conference. They will be using a power point presentation of pictures sent in by the various churches highlighting "their" church.

The new directory is near publication. Again, there will be several copies of the directory that can be previewed and corrected before publication. They should be located in the narthex just before you enter the sanctuary next Sunday, Dec. 9th. Just mark in the book and I will try to make sure that all corrections are made. I would like to take the directory to the printer by the 12th of December so that they would be available for distribution on Sunday, December 23rd. Thank you for your help. Norma
