Our church is in a time of transition once again. You know it

is almost like riding a roller coaster, some times of quiet, and then

another time of change. Our Church Council has elected to form a

Technology Committee separate from the Communication Com-

mittee. So now we have a Technology Committee. I want to

thank Dan Grose for heading this committee, particularly at this

time when technology is changing so rapidly, to keep the church

current with these constant changes. I remember when I came to

the church four years ago, all we had was a Website that Mike

Dixon had designed and maintained. If I wanted to contact the

youth, I would send out an email. In that time period the youth

went from email to texting, and now it seems that Facebook is the

best way of getting the info out. Our Website has taken on a few

changes and more are still being planned, plus we have a Cicero

United Methodist Church Facebook page, and a ciceroumc-

youthgroup page. We are also considering having a Bible Study

online for those who cannot get away to come to the church and

meet with others. It is truly a new day, and we need some people

to join Dan in making our Technology decisions and keeping up

with the times and designs. Dennis Lafferty is the chairperson for

the Communication Committee, and we need a few persons to help

keep our church active in the community and to keep our commu-

nication strong amongst ourselves.

Our Church Council has also voted to establish a Vision Committee to look to our

future. A committee such as this was formed years ago that brought about the addition to

our church. For those who have come here in the last five or so years, you cannot even

imagine how different this church building is from before the addition. I want to thank all

those who put in many hours of sacrificial work and their monetary gifts for this to be ac-

complished. But now it is time to begin looking at where the next five to ten years will take

us, what God is calling us to do and be in the town of Cicero. What will our legacy be as the

Cicero United Methodist Church? We need people to be part of this Vision Committee, to

pray and ask God to give us the wisdom, knowledge and faith to serve one another and those

God whom places in our care. Karen Rice will be heading this committee; and we are look-

ing for persons of different ages and walks of life to help us begin to ask some very serious

questions and to understand where the congregation believes God would want us to be. Our

church, just like the world, is in a time of change, and we ask that you keep us in your

prayers and that some of you will volunteer to help lead the way.

Announcing: For Ten Weeks This Summer!

IMPORTANT L L Update

A few important announcements for summer -

1) There will be NO LOL meals on June 29 OR for the month of July

We want to give our hard working LOL volunteers a bit of a break as we gear up to begin again

on August 3rd.

2) Attendance has been down at our spring LOL meals. If you have attended in the past and

stopped coming because of the crowds OR you just want to see what is happening, please

join us on a Wednesday night in June.

3) We are in need of volunteers to prepare and/or organize meals in June. See Chris Osborn, if

you can help in any way.

Because of donations from various agencies including Third Phase, we no longer need many desserts.

In addition, we are often given food supplies and sometimes just need someone to prepare the food we

already have in the LOL pantry. If budget concerns have prevented your participation, now is the time to

offer to help by preparing a meal.

Many thanks for the awesome support for our 2010-2011 LOL program. We have served a weekly

meal for 8 straight months (with a break in December), and that is quite an accomplishment for a congre-

gation of our size. Please continue to pray for our ministry. Those involved on a regular basis know what

an impact we are having in this community.

ANGELS‟ ATTIC

HHELP - Summer Lunch Program CUMC has been asked to furnish the microwavable macaroni & cheese cups for the children‟s

summer lunch program (HHELP) You may bring them in anytime. Packing starts June 11 and

continues for 10 weeks. At this point we are projecting that we will need 75 cups per week X ten

weeks which would equal 750 cups.

CUMC will pack lunches for HHELP on Saturday, June 11th, at 10:00 a.m.

at Angels‟ Attic. Please contact Karen Mann 984-4005.

OUTREACH TEAM The next Outreach Planning Team Meeting will be Sunday, June 12,at 1:00 p.m.

We are working on a sign for the Welcome Center. Our committee coordinates LOL, shut-in visita-

tion, and visitor welcome services. Please feel free to join us, if you are interested in the outreach

programs at CUMC. Anyone is welcome.

Contact Jeannie Ecker at 984-4802 for more information.

The March 27th Church Service is still available on the Cicero UMC Face book. Please, if you

were not able to attend that service, it is important that you watch it on Facebook.

Volunteers Wanted! We can use some volunteers to help with our summer Kids‟ Jam. We have program leaders commit-

ted for each week but would appreciate additional help with the children. Helpers from middle

school to adult age are all welcome.

The schedule is each Sunday, June 12th through August 14th. There will be a meeting on Sunday,

June 5th to finalize plans and introduce the program to the helpers. If you would like to be involved

for one Sunday or every Sunday, please contact Karen Rice at 984-4527.

Care-A-Gram Ministry

Our Care-A-Gram ministry continues. If you know someone who needs to be remembered in any

way, please contact Peggy Richards or the church office. It does make a difference!

Just A Moment By Karen Rice

Proverbs 15:17 - A bowl of vegetables with someone you love is better than steak with someone you hate.

April 1 April 10 April 17 April 24 Total

$3254 $3535 $4114 $3807 $14710 Income

$19956 Expense

$( 5246) Loss

I was particularly grumpy this morning as I knew that I must write this article for the newslet-

ter and it wasn‟t good. I wanted it to be good, but this morning, on May 17, it is drizzling, chilly

and miserable, so it set a chilly mood. May giving is down from April. Fret, fret, fret. So here

goes . . . . for the month of April our giving was $14,420, however our operating expenses were

$19,956.

So many of us have gone through personal hardships and have learned to eat that bowl of vege-

tables. It will be for us to help those who have only eaten steak through this time. We put this in

the Lord‟s hands, but we must follow His direction.

My mood lifted as I walked through the church and thought of the hymn, Surely the Presence of

the Lord is in this Place. From its lyrics I‟m reminded of your faces and your love. Then I think

of our LOL program and think how blessed we are to be able to share bowls of vegetables with

people we love every week.

I can only report the numbers and pray over them. I have no answers, only the Lord does.

Pray with me now. Heavenly Father, we are blessed by your presence and your approval. As we

consider the lilies of the field we know you are in control and our needs will be met. You have

blessed us with much; may we share those blessings through our ministry. In the name of your

Liturgist Opportunities & Expectations

I would like to thank all who are willing to serve as liturgists this year. It is a blessing that we have

several of you dedicated to this vital service to our church.

This is one ministry that is well-supported, especially in our 10:30 am service where we continue to

schedule volunteers on a 3 or 4 month rotating schedule. Our 9:00 am service could use additional vol-

unteers, but we are blessed to have enough participants to fill each month.

If you serve in this capacity or would like to do so, below is a clarification of our current expecta-

tions for liturgists.

The schedule is published in the monthly newsletter.

If you cannot serve on your designated Sunday, either contact the office and we will find a replace-

ment, or, if you wish, you may take it upon yourself to switch with another person if they are

willing to do so. If you do agree to change, please notify the office so the bulletin will be cor-

rect.

Please come fifteen minutes early on the Sunday you serve. It is important that we know you are

there, and also it as well give you time to receive notes for announcements and other informa-

tion.

The office will update you with your scripture reading the week before your assigned Sunday.

Please read through this and become familiar with the passage. If there is an unfamiliar word

(this is highly likely), ask the speaker how they would pronounce it. It is helpful to synchronize

pronunciations in many cases. If you have further questions or a last minute change of plan,

“My father didn‟t tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.” ~Clarence Cleland

PENNY RAIDERS FOR JUNE

When a month has a 5th Sunday, there is a collection or the CUMC Compassion Fund. This fund is

used when a church member has an emergency need. There will be 5 Sundays in July.

Like father, like child. . . . .

As we celebrate Father‟s Day, we likely see traits in our dads (or other father figures) that we

hope to be known for ourselves: integrity, gentleness, a great sense of humor, a love of learning, a

humble spirit.

Amy Grant‟s song “Father‟s Eyes” tells of a young girl who wants nothing more than for oth-

ers to recognize her father — her heavenly Father — in her. “When people look inside my life, I

want to hear them say, „She‟s got her father‟s eyes.‟”

What characteristics of God your Father are reflected in your eyes, heart and life? And what

godly qualities would you like to cultivate? May others see our heavenly Father in us!

Kudos this month go to: - Karen Mann & Chris Osborn for coordinating our LOL recycling

- Mike Murphy for his diligent support of the LOL meals by using his resources to get

food items

- Our CUMC Choir for a wonderful season of music

- Cicero Market for the donation of 25 pounds of meat for LOL

Chick Mix The children in the Dog Park are making Chick Mix Snack (Candy Corn and Peanuts or Plain Candy Corn).

Each bag is $1, and helps to purchase 1 chick for a family in Uganda. You will find them on the table across

from Byron‟s office.

RETURNING MISSION OPPORTUNITY We are again collecting books for the Bates land School in South Dakota. The children attending there are

mostly from the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Their county is the second poorest in the nation. Books can

be any that are appropriate for grades Kindergarten through High School. Jo

and John Kidwell took a carload of books to them last year. We will be taking books to them again around

the first part of July this year. Checks can also be made out to Cicero United Methodist Church with a note

on the memo line to: Bates land School.

Any help is much appreciated. There is a box in the Narthex for books. God bless you!

Alyssa Childs is the daugh-

ter of Jane and Rick Childs.

She has participated in Amber

Guard where she enjoyed per-

forming and the band trips to

Disneyworld and New York

City. She is a member of the

National Honor Society and

Key Club. Alyssa has been on

the High A Honor Roll every

semester and is projected to

graduate in the top 10% in her

class. Alyssa enjoys reading

and also watching various

crime dramas, such as Bones

and NCIS. In the fall she

plans to attend the Ohio State

University in Columbus, Ohio

and is intending to study

Mathematics. She was

awarded the National Buck-

eye Merit Scholarship and

also The Ohio State Univer-

sity Trustees Scholarship.

Carl Joseph (C.J.) Veger is

the son of Janneane and Joe

Veger. He swam and played

baseball as a youngster in

Starke County, where he was

also active in 4-H. He and his

dog Sandy earned county 4-H

Grand Champion in Agility.

C.J. switched to tennis when he

moved back to Hamilton

County, and he hopes to coach

tennis at the high school level in

the future. After a trip to visit

his uncle in England this sum-

mer, C.J. will begin classes at

the Alexandria School of Thera-

Arizona State University in the

Fall of 2011. I will be studying

Religion my 1st year, and then

after that I may be studying Mu-

sic or some other career. I also

plan on minoring in Italian. I

have been swimming for too

many years to remember now at

my age. I have been attending

Cicero United Methodist Church

since I was born, so my mother

says. As far as a biography about

myself, well, my life hasn't been

too terribly exciting ever since I

started swimming. Before that, I

tried other sports and what not,

but when I figured out that I was

a good swimmer, my life went

that direction and has been going

that way ever since. I don't know

where I'd be if I hadn't swam in

the first place. What I do now is

swim, drum, and just enjoy life.

Like the quote I try to live by:

"Live everyday like it's your last.

Someday, you'll be right."

“Each dream in your heart lies

within reach if you just believe

in yourself.”

If You Believe Your diploma means a future without boundaries,

A world that's full of energy and fun.

So as you reach for all life has to offer,

Remember that you're second to no one.

Pursue your goals, yet keep your loved ones close,

As you utilize your talent and ambition.

Let your friends and family give you their support, And you'll master every challenging transition.

And always, (graduate's name), know you can achieve The things you really want, if you believe.

Fresh Cut Flowers for the Sanctuary

There is nothing better than beautiful, fragrant flowers!

There have been many requests for fresh cut flowers in the Sanctuary for a special occasion or in honor or

memory of a loved one.

Here is the new procedure:

1. There will be a sign-up sheet for you to pick a date, and to specify the occasion.

2. You will need to call and arrange for the flowers to be designed and paid for. You can buy

anywhere you want and spend what you want.

3. Make sure the flowers are at the church by 8:30 am that Sunday.

I can't wait to see what beautiful arrangements you bring!

On days that no one signed up, we'll use the church's silk flowers.

~Jen Dunbar, worship committee/flowers

Shut-In Visitation Ministry There are slips of paper by the Care-a-Grams each week. Each one has the name and contact

information for one of our shut-ins. Please take one as often as possible and send a card, visit, or

call the person listed. Just sign the card “From your friends at CUMC” if you don‟t know the

person. We all know what a card or visit can do to brighten our day! Thank you.

Slow Down

Walk a little slower, Daddy, said a little child so small. I‟m following in your footsteps and I

don‟t want to fall.

Sometimes your steps are very fast; sometimes they‟re hard to see. So walk a little slower,

Daddy, for you are leading me.

Someday when I‟m all grown up, you‟re what I want to be. Then I will have a little child

who‟ll want to follow me.

And I would want to lead just right, and know that I was true; so walk a little slower, Daddy,

for I must follow you.

Unlikely Methods

“By faith the walls of Jericho fell after they had been encircled for seven days” (Hebrews 11:30, NSV).

What must Naaman have thought when Elisha prescribed a leprosy cure of washing seven times in the

muddy Jordan River (2 Kings 5)?

What must the disciples have thought when Jesus allowed himself to be crucified?

God seems to delight in using unlikely methods to accomplish his plans. Remember that when life doesn‟t

make sense or circumstances seem hopeless.

God‟s plans are rarely straight-forward or predictable. He‟s full of surprises. With a little faith and obedi-

ence, we will see God work in our lives too.

The CUMC Youth Group is travelling back in time to explore the beginning, when

God created the earth! They will be taking a trip the Creation Museum in Kentucky,

and they would like YOU to come along! We will be meeting at CUMC at 7:00 a.m.,

and will be returning between 3:30 & 4:00 p.m. Admission is $24.95, plus money for

snacks and whatever else you might want.

Prayer list policy: Those added to the prayer list will remain there for two weeks. After two weeks they may be deleted. You will need to call the church office in order to reinstate your prayer concerns.

Quiet Space

“Rest is not idleness,” said John

Lubbock, “and to lie sometimes on the grass on

a summer day listening to the murmur of water

or watching clouds float across the sky is hardly

a waste of time.”

Most of us need more, not less, rest built

into our daily routine. Only when we are quiet

can we hear God‟s whisper.

Summer is a great time to find a peaceful,

outdoor spot to read, rest and pray — even if

only for a few minutes. God is eagerly waiting

for us to make space for Him.
