CUMC Newsletter July

Upheaval and Seeing God John and I were dining out at yet another restaurant after a

month of here and there travel. Micah was fussy and exhaust-

ing. Eventually I wandered with Micah and ended up at the

swivel stools by the bar. A man a few seats down smiled and

asked me my son's name. When I replied, he said "A good

Biblical name. My son's name is Nicodemus." He told me the

story of his son's name, and I told him a piece of mine. One of

my favorite scriptures is Micah 6:8, so I quoted it as is normal

for me. But then I unexpectedly went further and told him what it

meant to me. He told me that he needed to hear that message from Micah 6:8.

He went on to tell me how when he was in prison, he was like Nicodemus, longing to

understand how he could be born a second time. He found Christ in prison, and I

found Christ in him.

Summer throws different schedules, activities, obligations, and travel at us.

Sometimes we get so caught up in these things that we get distracted from our

spiritual disciplines that keep us grounded. Sometimes we are so out of our element

that we miss God moving. But these changes can also be some of the best

opportunities to see Christ in new ways. I met Jesus at a bar. Where is Jesus

meeting you this week?

General Church Apportionments

Our gifts really do make a difference. United Methodists are connectional. We put into practice that if we want

to give money beyond our local church and local community needs, the first place to look is our connectional

system. Apportionments form the framework for our individual and congregational participation in connectional

ministry and mission. When we share our money, a portion of

which pays apportionments, we give to the following general

United Methodist Church fund:

The Black College Fund provides financial support to maintain solid and challenging academic programs, strong faculties and well-equipped facilities for students at Bennett College, Bethune-Cookman University, Claflin University, Clark Atlanta University, Dillard University, Huston-Tillotson University, Meharry Medical College, Paine College, Philander Smith College, Rust College and Wiley College. Their graduates – representing diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds – are leaders nationally and internationally.
