Living For Christ

Bluffton United Methodist Church

A “Stephen Ministry” Church

Volume 13, Issue 11 NOVEMBER 2017

I was having lunch with a long

lost friend the other day. We were

catching up, and he filled me in on the details of his life

since we had last conversed.

Wow! Life has been hard for him. His health, his

marriage, his job, his kids...you name it, and it was falling

apart. My heart ached for him. I prayed for him on the

spot and have continued to do so since.

When I got home, I grabbed my wife and gave her a big

ole squeezy hug and kiss. I was so grateful!!

Here's my point, I know it's cliché, but we really do

need to count our blessings and thank God. If we have a

hard time seeing those blessings, minister to someone

else. The grace He has placed on your life will come more

clearly into focus.

Psalm 103:2 Praise the LORD, my soul, and forget not

all his benefits-

Your Pastor, Joey

STEPHEN MINISTRY

It’s Part of Life’s Journey

The Bible says our struggles aren’t unique.

They’re “common to man” (1 Cor 10:13 NKJV).

Your secret isn’t really a secret, it’s just a secret shared

by others who are equally afraid to talk. As long as we

think we can manage our difficulty on our own, we don’t

talk about it.

You’re not the only person facing job or financial

difficulties, or marital challenges, or health issues or the

loss of a loved one. This is important to know because it

takes away your feeling of isolation. It also helps you

know that if others have made it through their struggle,

then by God’s grace you can, too.

We can’t pray away the tests of life or quote Scripture

and make them go away, but we can trust in Jesus to be

with us every step of the way as we work through

whatever adversity we’re facing. And sharing your

struggle confidentially with a trained Stephen Minister

can also be very therapeutic.

If you or someone you know is facing a challenge,

Stephen Ministers are available at BUMC to

confidentially listen to and encourage you, and remind

you of Jesus’ presence in your life. Please contact one

our Stephen Leaders: Mary Ellen Parks, 843.368.1852 or

Sara Jenkins, 843.705.2172.

The Stephen Ministry hospital visitation schedule for

November is noted below. If you know of someone in the

hospital during this month, please cal l :

THE MISSION TEAM will

meet in the conference room

on Nov.15, 2017 at 6 p.m.

Janice Trainor is the

chairperson of the Mission Team.

The October Miracle Jars supporting Kamina

University amounted to $1,259! Thank you so

much for your very generous giving!

For the month of November the mission jars are going to

support veterans in need. The money will be donated to

the Ralph Johnson VA medical center in Charleston, with

the affiliate of the Beaufort Naval Hospital. 100% of the

money goes directly to veteran's needs, such as

transportation to/from medical appointments, food,

housing support, family support during medical

appointments, help for last wish for those in hospice, and

anything directly related to veteran issues. We are also

donating to Pets for Vets-the Atlanta Chapter. They take

dogs from shelters, train them and give them to any vet in

need. They have taken dogs for some of our local rescue

groups. They do not charge any veteran for their dog

placements. Thank-you for all of our veterans.

The Mission Team is also collecting

food for Bluffton Self Help for

Thanksgiving. We will be collecting

until Sunday, November 12th. The

specific items needed are: Canned

Yams, Boxed or bagged Stuffing mix, Chicken Broth, Turkey

or Chicken gravy, Rice, Boxed Cornbread or Biscuit mix,

Cranberry sauce, White or Sweet potatoes, Canned Ham,

Roasting pans, Can openers. There will be bins in the

Narthex and Fellowship Hall.

You may also bring directly to Bluffton Self Help the

following: Frozen Turkey, Fresh Chicken, Ham, Fresh

Collard greens, Fresh Herbs. They are located at 39

Sheridan Park Circle, Monday–Friday, 10:00 AM–4:00 PM.

The Mission Team will be

sponsoring an Angel Tree for

Hardeeville Elementary School. It will

be a pre-K grade, ages 4-5 years. We

will have more information later in

the month on the children involved

with wishes and sizes.

The Mission team has arranged to

collect used eyeglasses and hearing aids

for the Lion's Club. There is a box in the Narthex to deposit

these.

2017 WORSHIP & SPECIAL EVENTS CALENDAR

THE EVOLUTION BIG BAND

On Sunday, November 19th at 3:00 PM, the Evolution Big Band (formerly the Stardust Orchestra) under the direction of David Fleming, will perform in concert at Bluffton United Methodist Church. The Evolution Big Band performs modern arrangements of jazz standards and contemporary big band music.

Accordingly, the band has changed its name to the Evolution Big Band to reflect the changing nature of its music. This performance will feature vocals by Michael Schwartzkopf and Miss Penney Lynn Smith. Bluffton United Methodist Church is pleased to be the rehearsal home for this fine band.

Founded in 2004 as the Stardust Orchestra, the all-volunteer group includes some of the top jazz musicians in the Low Country who are committed to keeping big band music alive, relevant and contemporary. With a library of more than 2,000 arrangements spanning a range of swing and jazz styles, the band features songs made popular by Glenn Miller, Frank Sinatra, Count Basie, and upbeat arrangements popularized by the Tonight Show Orchestra, Buddy Rich, Michael Bublé and Nat “King” Cole, among others.

This concert is free of charge but a free will offering will be conducted.

For more information regarding the Evolution Big Band, visit www.evolutionbigband.com.

CHARLESTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA HOLIDAY BRASS

Tickets are now available for the Charleston Symphony Orchestra Holiday Brass Concert in the Music Suite following each worship service and at Markel's Card & Gift Shop in Kittie's Crossing. Ticket prices are: adults, $10 and children, $5. Only cash or checks made payable to Charleston Symphony Orchestra (CSO) will be accepted.

The holiday concert is family-friendly, appealing to both children and adults, and will feature Christmas and holiday songs as well as carol sing-a-longs.

The concert will be held at Bluffton United Methodist Church Tuesday, December 12, 7:00 PM. Last year the concert was sold out, so get your tickets early. The concert is also open to the public. Please plan to attend and invite others to join you

On Sunday, December 17th at both worship services, the Bluffton United Methodist Church Chancel Choir will present the cantata "Sing Joy to All the World!" composed by Lloyd Larson. Collaborating with Chancel Choir will be Janice Creech, piano, Karen Wyld, flute, Kathleen Duncan, oboe, Lucy Scandrett,

harp, Bob Wilson, Elisabeth Kelson, and Don Jemella, percussionists.

The message of Christmas is one of deep and abiding joy! It is a message filled with the assurance that no matter how difficult the journey may seem; no matter how hopeless the situation my feel; no matter how long and dark the night may be, joy will eventually come. That is the promise of God: "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes with the morning." Psalm 30:5b

Share the joy and wonder of Christ's birth by inviting family, friends and neighbors to join you for this special worship service.
