Importance: High

 

Dear Friends in Ministry,

 

Greetings from western North Carolina and from the Hinton Rural Life Center! I shared the following information with you previously, regarding an upcoming event at the Hinton Center. I am hoping that you might be willing to make it available, again, to those in your area.

 

Could you distribute the following information about Pathways Through Loss with your District churches, clergy, and laity? I have attached a PDF, included a web link, and offered a brief description. I would be most grateful for your constituents to know about this event since Hinton is a Jurisdictional mission agency.

 

Thank you!

 

The Hinton Rural Life Center is offering a retreat June 8-10 called Pathways Through Loss. Loss is both a universal and a deeply personal experience. The Pathways Through Loss retreat will be an exploration of the nature of loss, how we face it or avoid it, and some of the ways that we walk (or run) through it. It is open to anyone who is interested in thinking more deeply about loss (which we understand to be more than the experience of death) and how loss affects our lives and the lives of many around us. Please share the detailed information at the attached link with your churches, and contact Amy Spivey if you have questions. (amy@hintoncenter.org).

We are looking forward to a wonderful retreat weekend, and I hope that you or others in your area might be able to participate. Take care!

 

Grace and peace,

Amy Spivey

Tue, 08 May 2012 06:09:53 -0700 Alexian Services http://signalcrest.posterous.com/alexian-services http://signalcrest.posterous.com/alexian-services Hello,

May is Signal Crest's month to provide a time of worship at the Alexian Village Healthcare Center. The service is at 3:00 on Sunday afternoons. It is very simple; a prayer, some hymns, a devotion, some more hymns and prayer time.......This is a great opportunity for a family to serve together, or for a Sunday School class to serve as well.

May 13th and May 27th are still available. If you can show up for 30-60 minutes and offer grace to these folks, please let me know.  Thank you!

Annette

Tue, 20 Dec 2011 07:59:43 -0800 Blood Drive for Tina Harr 04-JAN-2012 1-6pm at St. Augustine's http://signalcrest.posterous.com/blood-drive-for-tina-harr-04-jan-2012-1-6pm-a http://signalcrest.posterous.com/blood-drive-for-tina-harr-04-jan-2012-1-6pm-a

Guys, I know John Harr, our St A's catcher, will be grateful for anyone who can make the effort to donate blood for his wife Tina. She once again is in need of lots of donations to continue her long fight. For you UTC fans, Tina and John's son Chris finished his UTC football career as All Southern Conference in 2010.

 

The bloodmobile will be at St Augustines on Wed Jan 4 from 1-6 PM if that would be convenient.

 

For most of you it might be better to go to a Blood Assurance location and donate a pint in Tina Harr's name at a convenient time for you in the next couple of weeks.

 

Please, whether or not you are a regular blood donor, consider giving a pint in Tina's name. John will be most grateful.

Dear Annette,

It feels good knowing that someone is thinking of my family when I'm having trouble providing for them.  Timothy Thompson

There are over 50 Chattanooga families with a loved one participating in our Stephen's Table initiative in prison - and all are struggling to make ends meet. Thanksgiving shouldn't be depressing, and we are reaching out to you to add a little levity to the lives of the people we are serving by sponsoring a Thanksgiving dinner.   

 

In the past, we have invited people to drop off food at our office for Thanksgiving baskets.  However, most preferred to help by donating the cost of the the meal instead.  Therefore this year, we are just asking for the donation. One meal cost $35 but any amount will be warmly received and greatly appreciated. 

 

Just point and click to make a donation and support our work during the holidays.

 

We will do the shopping, assemble the baskets and coordinate the volunteers to distribute them to our families. Each basket will also include a card with the following note:

 

This comes to you from someone who cares about you. All we ask is that you take care of yourself enough to be able to do this for someone else someday. Happy Thanksgiving!     

 

Thank you very much for your help and your continued support of our mission of second chances and the families we serve.

Thank you for supporting second chances at CEi,
Dempsey Signature

Mon, 31 Oct 2011 05:58:00 -0700 Invitation to all SCUMC Dads... http://signalcrest.posterous.com/invitation-to-all-scumc-dads http://signalcrest.posterous.com/invitation-to-all-scumc-dads

A few years ago, I attended a conference on the importance of fatherhood and being a good father. It was a worthwhile activity for me. Since then, I have received weekly emails from Fathers.com, a respectable organization which provides tips, encouragement and ideas to help one become a better dad.

 

From these emails, I read about the movie “Courageous,” out in theaters now. It is produced by Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany, Ga., the same group behind the movies “Facing the Giants” and“Fireproof” if you are familiar with those. This movie is supposed to have a very strong message for fathers.

 

I would love for a large group of dads from Signal Crest to go see this movie together. While I don’t think the movie will earn any Academy Awards for its production or acting, from what I have seen, we will go away from the theater with a new perspective on fatherhood, or at least, reaffirm what we are already doing as fathers or should be doing.

 

Let’s try this Wednesday night, Nov. 2. There is a 7:10 pm showing at Northgate Carmike 14 which would give you time to eat dinner at Wednesday Night Live if you'd like. There is a chance we could take the church microbus depending on the number of guys interested in participating.

 

Please send an email to jeffromero@epbfi.com if you would like to go and we will reply to you with a meeting place and time. Feel free to forward this to other men in the church who may not receive this email.

 

Here is a preview of the film:  http://www.courageousthemovie.com/

 

Thank you.

Everyone,
 
A gentleman in Walden has donated about 4 loads of split firewood to the ministry and we need to try to get it out of thier yard and delivered to a client by Sunday evening.  Most of this is oak, but some cherry also.  A small amount has not been split and will need to be dropped off at church.
 
PLEASE volunteer to help and call me.  Thanks.

It is time to sign up to work the Pumpkin Patch for October 2011!  If you are not familiar with this fundraiser, it is the largest one that the Signal Crest Youth have all year long.  The youth sell pumpkins in our front lawn for the entire month of October and usually end up raising around $3,000.  It is definitely the event that carries us through each and every summer!  In order to make this happen, we need everyone at Signal Crest to be involved!  We ask that each of you consider taking a shift.  If we get each household on our schedule, then we won't have any spots left to fill!  Laura BeVille, one of our youth parents, is coordinating the pumpkin patch fundraiser for us this year and has created a public calendar online that you can use for reference.  Please click on the calendar link below, pick out your date and time, and then call her to let her know which one you want.  Pumpkins arrive on October 1st, so the sale will begin on October 2nd.  Please let us know if you have any questions!

Hello Signal Crest!

I am on the search for a few more people to take on the high school Sunday school rotation this school year.  Each teacher takes an entire month and receives the lessons via email each week.  The lessons are from the LinC curriculum, which is published by Cokesbury.  It is a program that uses current events each week and applies them to scripture.  The youth love it!  It keeps them engaged and gives them a chance to learn how the goings-on of the world affect each of them.  The lessons come complete with introductory activities, hands-on activities, games, scripture, background on the current event of the week, and much more.  It truly is a ready-made lesson.  Everything is already done for you.  Please let me know if you would like to be a teacher!  I still need to fill in the months of December, March, April, and May. 

You can email me at KRobertson@SignalCrestUMC.org or call the church office at 886-2330.

Blessings,
Kristin Robertson
