Dear Sisters & Brothers In Christ,

Grace and Peace be with you, and may you find some Holy warmth this February!

February is different. Still winter, still chilly, just different. February is the shortest month. The middling month of winter doesn’t have any big holidays (read: Holy Days) like Christmas, New Year’s, Lent, Easter, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Advent. Well, February does have Valentine’s and Presidents’ Day. But February holidays are based on escapes. Escaping from our everyday winter reality to either the ski slopes or sunny warm lo-cations for Presidents’ weekend or “I-heart” everything while buying tons of chocolate, red roses or heart shaped Valentine cards.

Actually isn’t that what the commercialization of all our Holy Days has become… a way to es-cape from reality. And, well, after the cold and snow this winter, you may really feel that you need an escape from reality.

But why do we so need an escape from reality? Is our reality so bad? Distasteful? Boring? Dull? Repetitive? What is the matter with every day? Why isn’t every day a Holy Day? Well, of course every day is a Holy Day. So why do we need an reminder or a massive commercial glut of buying spree on the holiday? We don’t.

Here is my Holy Day description for today, where am I right now. Buried in a pile up of grand-children. Now that is a different reality from my everyday. And definitely a celebration. Wake up Poppa, you are sleeping too long, time to get breakfast, time to take me to school, or pre-school, and of course: time to change my diaper. Nothing like children to show us that reality and Holy Days are the same. The wonder of every day new, every day holy, every day an ad-venture. Where is your adventure today? I pray that you will find an adventure in your walk with Jesus during these February Holy Days.

Peace, Pastor Don

FEBRUARY HERALD 2014

17 signs your church may be dying

By Paul Wilkinson

You may have already read these, but according to Barna, 3500-4000 churches close their doors every year… AND recently the Christian Chronicle just published a report saying that in the past nine years that church attendance has dropped by more than 100,000. Just a few days ago I visited with a man that was very concerned about the church where he was attend-ing. His exact words were, “We’re dying and the sad things is … some don’t care, and the others don’t know what to do about it!” He and I got to talking about some of the signs they were seeing that pointed to their church dying out. We made quite a list, and of course a few were tongue-in-cheek. I thought I might share a few with you today. Of course I’m no church growth expert, but I’d bet that most are gen-erally true. So, here are “17 Signs your Church may be dying.” 1. If your church does nothing to reach the community where it is located. 2. If your church believes doing church is something that takes place inside the walls of the building on Sundays and Wednesdays … instead of outside the walls in the community during the week. 3. If your church’s sermons are issue oriented or not relevant, instead of being relationship centered and Jesus focused. 4. If your church is afraid of change, making changes and taking risks. 5. If the only thing your community knows about your church is where it’s located. 6. If the only thing that seems alive in your worship service is the greenery at the front of the audito-rium. 7. If the song you sing most on Sundays is, “Tis so sweet to Rust in Jesus,” or something close to it. 8. If your worship is quiet because there are no children. 9. If the only new members that are ever added to your church are people who have moved into the area … instead of people from your community. 10. If your church is content with just keeping its heads above the water. 11. If your church is out of touch with the current generation. 12. If your church’s leadership’s motto is, “But we’ve never done it that way before.” 13. If your church has money in the bank that could be used to reach the lost and serve the poor, but it’s being saved for a rainy day or an emergency. 14. If your church’s biggest fear is criticism. 15. If your church’s leadership doesn’t set the tone, and is more concerned with supporting the system than shepherding the people. 16. If your church promotes outreach as an option and not a necessity. If your church lives in the past not in the present. Honestly … It makes me sad that the topic of churches dying is even a topic that is trending…

The Mission of the District Superintendent From the office of the CMA District Superintendent According to ¶401 of The Book of Discipline 2012, “The purpose of superintending is to equip the Church in its disciple-making ministry. Those who superintend carry primary responsibility for ordering the life of the Church. It is their task to enable the gathered Church to worship and to evangelize faithfully.” The same paragraph goes on to say, “It is also their task to facilitate the initiation of structures and strate-gies for the equipping of Christian people for service in the Church and in the world in the name of Jesus Christ and to help extend the service in mission . . .” The 2012 Book of Discipline has also added a new ex-pectation to the office of District Superintendent: to be “Chief Missional strategist.” In an era of change and transitions, I think it is befitting to change the roles of church leaders. In fact, all of us need to change the way we do ministry. Things aren’t the way they used to be; nor will we return to who we were. At least that’s my hope. Yes! Although God is the same yesterday and today, we are called to change, and even to become the catalyst for change. As pastors, we can no longer sit behind a desk all day all week and expect that our churches will grow. No! We need to lead our congregations into the mission field. The saying is true, sheep beget sheep not shepherds. But this also means that the shep-herds need to be out in the field with the sheep and not in the sheep pen. Well, you catch my drift. So, what does it mean to become a “Chief Missional Strategist?” The truth is that I am not so sure yet, but I am working on it. However, if I break down the new name in its three words it all begins to make a little more sense. First, Chief isn’t necessarily a designation for a person who is in authority and of influence (nor the leader of a Native-American tribe) but it could be. The name chief identifies a person as the leader and guide of a group. And for me, leaders lead, not from behind but from upfront. Leaders take the lead and are called to be an example to those whom they lead, in all possible ways; and this goes for all leaders. Missional, of course, speaks of the mission that we are commonly committed to, which is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. But we should not look at Missional as an adjective or a goal to meet. Missional is a way of living our lives. Being Missional is the primary focus of those who seek to

follow Jesus faithfully, no matter where Jesus calls. That means that whether you are in a small or large church, or serve in extension ministry as a DS, being a Missional disciple means, as Paul Nixon mentions in

his book I refuse to lead a dying church, that we have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, a clear sense of the mission which we’ve been called, the belief that God sent us to the here and now, and that we offer

something that will renew and revive people in this world.

Thirdly, being a strategist means that we are not sitting around for things to happen, but we allow God to use us so that with God’s help we can provoke change to happen… intentionally. In short, a Chief Missional

Strategist is a spiritual leader of the district who is wholeheartedly committed to the mission of making disciples of Jesus Christ and who is an intentional catalyst for transformational change and new life in this

world…and that friends, won’t be easy to do, but I hope we are ready for that journey.

Because of Jesus,

Rev. René Perez

Chili Throw-down

Our first “Bring the Heat” Chili Throw-down was a fun success.

We had six chilis represented and raised over $100.00 for winter heat relief. The judges decided that the

best chili was made be Marilyn Carr, second place by Leslie Walseman, and third place was Adam Burnham,

and Pastor Don came in last. Next year we hope to triple the number of

chilis represented and raise ten times the amount of winter heat relief! Start planning your chili now. Better

luck next year Pastor Don!

The Caring Corner

"The February sunshine steeps your boughs and tints the buds and swells the leaves within." William C. Bryant

February is a month associated with love – Valentine’s Day. We at Wesley celebrate

our love for one another with our prayers, cards and notes, random acts of kindness, a

warm handshake, a hug. Wesley is a congregation, a community of caring people brought together to share our love of God, not only at church on Sunday, but into the community

of Framingham and beyond. And so it is through this column of sharing that we learn of

some among us who need our caring and our celebration. Gloria Beckford has had a wonderful visit with her daughter Wilma Diaz for over a

month. Wilma is a teacher in Panama and active in her church. She welcomed her 8th

grandchild while visiting. When Gloria was asked how many great grandchildren she had, she explained that there were so many she had lost count.

Wesley sends their sympathies to Betsy Guinn and family with the passing of Judy

Guinn. Judy was the wife of Rev. Oscar Guinn who was a Methodist missionary and for-

mer pastor at Wesley in the 1960’s. Oscar and Judy served Wesley during the time the Concord Street church closed and moved to Beacon Street, being the first family to move

into the parsonage on Fairbanks Way.

Wesley also sends our love to Richard “Dick” Cornwell on the passing of his wife Shirley. Dick was a long time active member of Wesley in the 1970’s and 80’s. He and

Shirley worshipped at Wesley for a time after they were married, but moved to Charlton to

the Masonic “compound”. We hear Dick is still very active with the Shiners’. Some of our members have had recent surgeries including Julie Tebo, Barbara

Melendez and Lisa LaVigne. Barbara is still recovering at home and Julie is back with us

and is doing fine. Lisa is still our #1 administrative assistant even with the use of only one fully working hand. She is sporting a cast on her left arm and thumb, and hopes to

have it off in a few weeks, then start occupational therapy to regain the use of her thumb

and hand once again. We rejoice with Eric Eversley on the good health of his youngest daughter. She has

undergone 6 months of chemo therapy for stage 4 leukemia. We all continue to pray for a

full recovery for this young woman who is just beginning a new life after her college

graduation. Alex Tringali, son of Carol Lazzaro is a senior at UMass Lowell. He has been accepted

into the Sound Recording Technology department and will graduate with his Bachelors of

Music later this year. Carol is a soprano in our choir while playing bells in our bell choir. Graham Hegeman, son of Pastor Don and Gretchen, received his Bachelors of Arts in

December from Clark University in Worcester. His major was biology and he hopes to at-

tend graduate school in the fall. Presently, he is a teaching assistant at Clark in the Biol-ogy Department, and working at the Audubon Society Camp in Sharon during public

school vacations.

We have our share of “snow birds” and this year is no exception. Diane and Walter Smith spent 10 days south of Tampa during January. Art and Gloria McNeil are spending

February in the warmth of Florida. Bill and Janis Snow are headed to Florida for a month

as well. They will be entertaining their grandsons Ian and Ben along with the daughters

and husbands. Pat Everett will be in the cool north visiting Elsie Meeker while Jan and Bill take a much needed vacation.

Congratulations go out to Kathy Snow Rebello on the completion of her Master’s in Busi-ness. She received this through Harvard University and will attend the formal ceremony

later in the year.

Lin and Rich Olsen are celebrating their 45th wedding anniversary with a trip to Albu-querque, New Mexico. They started 2014 in Minnesota visiting with daughter Elizabeth

and her family where the weather was -30 degrees. We are sure they will find New Mexico

a bit warmer.

Olivia Hoyt is now driving herself now that she has passed her road test and has her license. Sister Danielle was home for winter break from Bryant College in Rhode Island

and received word that she had made the Dean’s List. Danielle earned all A’s for her first

semester freshman year. We are so proud of you! Peggy Hoyt spent a few days at Milford Hospital, due to severe anemia. We pray that the doctors will find an answer as to why

this anemia is occurring and be able to treat her back to good health.

Pastor Don and nine ladies enjoyed a lovely meal at the Aegean. If you like Greek food, this is a very tasty place to have lunch at reasonable prices. We missed our 100 year old,

Nan Fischer, who had a cold and Elsie Meeker who wasn’t up to braving the cold winds we

have been having. WOW’s will be eating at Outback Steakhouse on February 13th. In this day and age of internet, many of us receive those requests to pass on a joke,

funny story, or a prayer. Recently I had a lovely prayer sent to my “in-box” and sent it

along to friends, including Marge Danforth. She in turn sent it out, including Betsy

Guinn. Betsy in turn sent it to one of her sons in Cambodia. We know that our prayers are heard by God, but never know who it will touch or how they will be affected by it. Isn’t

it nice we can use the internet to spread the good word these days.

It has been most enjoyable since the beginning of 2014 to hear the Lord’s Prayer being said in languages that may be foreign to many of us, but used by members of our congre-

gation. Wesley is blessed to have members from various countries and cultures through-

out our world. Thanks to: John Benninger for praying in German, Anya Yakovlev Logan for the prayer in Russian, Deluxey Puvanasingam for praying in Tamil, and Mary-Ann Mu-

fate for praying in Shona (the native language of Zimbabwe). We hope this practice will

continue with those praying in other languages who worship with us. We celebrate the beautiful gift of music that Carol Hughes shares with us each week.

Her ability to improvise when needed, without a word, is a true gift and blessing to those

of us sitting in the pews along with her lovely preludes and jazzy postludes. Thank you

Carol for sharing with your talents with us. For those of you lucky enough to be in church to hear Deacon Leslie Walseman speak

on Commitment at the Crossroads, we came away knowing that we had heard a sermon

given from her heart and soul. She could have gone on and on about how Wesley mem-bers and friends should follow the way, yet ended it with a chance for each of us to commit

ourselves in our own way to follow Christ and his teachings. The tea lights and blessing

she gave everyone present gave us pause to think, reflect, and bring home a new challenge in our daily living, as the song says “Will you come and follow me if I but call your name?”.

"February, when the days of winter seem endless and no amount of wistful recollecting can bring back any air of summer."

God be with you until we “meet” again.

WORSHIP…Completing God’s Law February 2014

‘Don’t suppose for a minute that I have come to demolish the Scriptures – either God’s Law or the Prophets. I’m not here to demolish but to complete. I am going to put it all together, pull it all together in a vast panorama. God’s Law is more real and lasting than the stars in the sky and the ground at your feet. Long after stars burn out and earth wears out, God’s Law will be alive and working. “Trivialize even the smallest item in God’s Law and you will only have trivialized your-self. But take it seriously; show the way for others, and you will find honor in the king-dom. Unless you do far better than the Pharisees in the matters of right living, you won’t know the first thing about entering the kingdom.”

Matthew 5:13-23 in “The Message - the New Testament in Contemporary Language,” by Eugene H. Peterson, NAV Press, Colorado Springs, Colorado

Upcoming Capital Campaign

The Trustees ask that you please prayerfully read the following announcement. Beginning early in 2014, the Trustees of the Wesley United Methodist Church will announce a 3 year capital campaign to help us position ourselves for the future needs of the Wesley UMC. The Trustees feel that they will need to raise at least $100,000+ in order to provide a new heating system for the church, provide for replacement of windows for energy efficiency, cooling the sanctuary for summer, repair of the roadway, and beginning to set aside funds for roof re-placement in the future. Please enter into a season of prayer as you consider your commit-ment to Wesley UMC and to our ministries here in Framingham and how you can be suppor-tive of this endeavor. Thank you.

MOVING FORWARD February 2014

Seek first his Kingdom and his righteousness…do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about

itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own (Matthew 6:33-34, NIV). These are specific words spoken by

Jesus.

God has given us a command – DO NOT WORRY! Easier said than done? In this fast, busy, demanding

world we live in, do not worry is a challenge. God defeats any challenge we have because He knows our

struggles. In the Old Testament, God told Joshua – No one will be able to oppose you as long as long as you

live, for I will be with you just as I was with Moses; I will not abandon you or fail to help you (Joshua 1:5).

How much has changed since God spoke these words? In the New Testament, God has said – Never will I

leave you; never will I forsake you. God has not changed; He is the same yesterday and today and forever

(Hebrews 13:5,8).

God has given us a passport to follow Jesus Christ, to respond to His call. We have the stamp of identity to

know who we are and whose we are. We are Christ-followers first. We claim His Word; we pray to the Al-

mighty; we continue to grow in faith; we trust Him and do not worry; we follow Jesus Christ. We know who

and whose we are – Followers of Jesus Christ.

We are not worriers; we are warriors of the Cross. We do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will

worry about itself. With Jesus Christ – we move forward.

Blessings,

Marie Frasier, Lay Leader
