I don’t claim first page very often

– it’s usually reserved for the pastor

but I wanted to share pics of Pastor

Jeff’s first Sunday. Forgive my claiming

this page.

Steve, I in no means want to

exclude you from this page, but I wanted this to represent Pastor Jeff’s

first service only. A day he was

anxious about, as we’re sure Patty,

Glenn, and Leo were also. A day in

front of a bunch of people who

believe in not judging but you know

probably were, even if just a little bit.

A day for you, Jeff, in a very hot

building with no air conditioning,

where you were determined to be

“professional” and keep on your suit

jacket, but no robe in 90-degree heat!

Things said in “my” office usually stay in my office, but you called it:

Steve was in a suit with a bowtie!

Looking good, Steve!!

Let’s share some pics!/ed.

Pastor Jeff’s First Service, What an Exciting Day!!

As we begin a new era at Maynard

saying goodbye to Pastor Patricia and

Rose and welcoming Pastor Jeff and

Steve, this article in the United Methodist

NOW newsletter caught my eye. Maybe

it will help answer some of your

questions about this change./Ed.

Why do United Methodist

pastors change churches?

Our unique system of

deploying clergy has its roots in

the earliest days of Methodism.

John Wesley, the founder of the

Methodist movement, preached up

to 40,000 sermons in his lifetime.

He was an “itinerant” preacher,

traveling from town to town in

England, setting up Methodist

societies.

“John Wesley believed that

itinerant preachers who moved

from place to place were more

effective than those who settled in, grew comfortable, and wore out

what they had to say,” says

the Rev. Belton Joyner.

In a letter to the Rev. Samuel

Walker in 1756, Wesley wrote,

“We have found by long and

consistent experience that a

frequent exchange of preachers is

best. This preacher has one

talent, that another; no one whom

I ever yet knew has all the talents

which are needful for beginning,

continuing, and perfecting the

work of grace in a whole

congregation.”

In the early days of Methodism

in America, a pastor — most often

a circuit rider — might be

appointed to half of a state or

Why Do Our Pastors Change Churches?

more. His appointment might be

for only three months, after which

he moved to another circuit.

Thousands of the oldest United

Methodist congregations today

trace their history to a circuit

rider.

This traveling from place to

place to begin Methodist societies

was adapted for the Methodist

congregations many of these early

societies would become after the

establishment of the Methodist

Episcopal Church in 1784. It thus

became the basis of the itinerant system The United Methodist

Church uses today.

United Methodist pastors are

sent, not called or hired.

“Itinerancy” refers specifically to

the commitment by pastors to go

and serve wherever their bishops

send them. “Appointment” is the

action taken by bishops. These are

different, yet related.

Clergy in The United Methodist

Church commit to serve where

their bishop appoints them.

Appointments are typically for one

year at a time, though the bishop

may move any itinerant pastor at

any time. The goal of the

appointment process is to match as

much as possible the gifts and

graces of the particular pastor or

deacon with the ministry needs of

a particular congregation or

ministry setting. In this “serial

leadership” of consecutive pastors

and deacons — no two are alike —

over time, the combination of skills

Glenn — our past

Patty — our present

(at this writing)

Jeff — our future

All three make moves

to new church homes

on July 1. Keep them

in your prayers for a

sense of welcome and

that all will be well!

cont’d p. 3

Page 3 Maynard Messenger

blends to form a broad base of

developed ministries.

While bishops make

appointments, they incorporate a

consultative process outlined in The

Book of Discipline that includes

district superintendents, clergy and

pastor/staff parish relations

committees (at Maynard: SPRC).

The needs and desires of clergy are

considered, but the mission of the

church comes first.

Joyner explains, “In a

connectional system such as United

Methodism, the question from any individual congregation or from any

individual [clergy] is not, ‘What is

best for me?’ The question is

‘What is best for us, the whole

connection?’ The one who has

oversight, the bishop, makes those

decisions. (The New Testament

word for bishop is episkopos, which

Why Do Our Pastors Change Churches? (cont’d)

means ‘the one who can see the

whole picture.’)

“The changing of pastors brings

different and often-needed gifts to

the local church (1 Cor. 12:4). The

changing of settings can keep a

pastor refreshed. The missionary

journeys of Paul are surely a

reminder of that, for example, Acts

13:2-14:7; 15:36-18:22; 18:23-

21:19.”

Baptism of Bentlee Joseph Barnett!

Pastor Patricia and Ret. Rev. Merv Matteson baptized Bentlee. Patty made it all the way

around the sanctuary with no tears—from either of them! Congratulations, Bentlee!

Maynard again had a presence

at the Pride Parade and

Community Festival. What a joy

to show the LGBTQ community

the love of Christ. We hope each

year that more will feel the love

that is theirs for the asking, theirs

for the believing, theirs for the

taking. The Grace of God is theirs

because he loves each and

everyone of them. Everyone made

in his image—some way, some

how. You are loved!!!.

Pride Weekend 2018!

Look who we found? Or did

they find us? Pastor Jeff Mullinix,

his daughter, and spouse Steve

Shamblin-Mullinix found Maynard

at the parade and joined in the

march—a great addition to our

spot in the parade.

Since I have only had to

complete one bulletin without

Patty’s input so far, it feels like she

is just on vacation (remember hers

and Rose’s trip to Viet Nam?) and

Pastor Jeff is filling in.

But, alas and alack, we know

that is not the case. Never a

farewell or goodbye, just an adieu,

till we meet again. Have a great

adventure at Maple Grove UMC,

Patty and Rose. All will be well at

your new home and church home!

We will all be making new friends

Not Farewell but Adieu, Patty and Rose

and blessing the gift of old friends at

the same time. God is keeping us all

in his loving arms, offering comfort

for the changes and challenges that

have been and those yet to come!

After 12 years, is a simple “thank

you” enough? But it’s all we have to

offer—thank you for all of your gifts

God asked you to bestow upon us at

Maynard!!

What great fun the children

had in Vacation Bible School as

they dug in the sand for relics

(created by Michael Lindner and Jay

Reyes), drew old symbols on

scrolls, learned new songs to sing

in worship on Sunday, and of

course, heard Bible stories.

As you can see by the pictures,

the “archeologists” had a great

time. Thank you, Connie Bloor,

for obtaining matching shirts for

this group.

Hope Pierce shows us the relic

he found! Although it looks like only a few

are paying attention to what Patty

is teaching them, don't let them

fool you — they all did a great job

on Sunday in worship!

Connie, start planning now —

I think they are anxious to attend

Psalm 121: A Prayer for Travelers

Whether traveling overseas or

around the corner, starting a new

job or a new family, we embark on

all kinds of journeys. Life itself can

be a long and winding road, but as

Christians, a life dedicated to God

is not one defined by standing still,

and our faith assures us that we

will never travel that road alone.

Titled A Song of Ascents in

Scripture, Psalm 121 marks life’s

journeys. The sacred song is

believed to have been sung by

pilgrims traveling the ancient road

to Jerusalem but, over the ages, has become known to many by a more

familiar name: The Traveler’s Psalm.

The words serve as a guide for the

journey and a reminder God is

watching over us every step of the

way.

You are encouraged to use this

video meditation as a source of

comfort as you commence,

continue, or conclude your

journey. This short segment is

easy to share or download and can

be used in a wide variety of church

settings, such as before or during

worship, in Sunday school classes,

or in small groups.

The images in this video were

taken by photographers from

various United Methodist

conferences and agencies.

Psalm 121 A song of ascents.

1 I lift up my eyes to

the mountains—

where does my help

come from? 2 My help comes from

the LORD, the Maker

of heaven and earth. 3 He will not let your

foot slip—he who

watches over you will

not slumber; 4 indeed,

he who watches over

Israel will neither

slumber nor sleep. 5 The LORD watches

over you—the LORD

is your shade at your

right hand; 6 the sun

will not harm you by

day, nor the moon

Love One Another Ministry

(LOAM) is a group from Maynard

and the community who visit the

homeless living in encampment(s).

Mary Wilbur heads this group of

caring, supportive individuals and

is the contact person for those in

the encampments. If they are in

need of food, prayers, heat, just

someone to talk to, they call Mary.

She can then spread the word to

others.

Speak with Mary after worship

any Sunday if you are interested in

being a part of this outreach or if you have something to donate to

the homeless. \

Mary and others visit the

encampment on the third Sunday

of each month at 4 p.m. Help is

always needed to distribute items.

Here is what they collect

throughout the year:

SOCKS;

“C” and “D” BATTERIES

WET ONES or BABY

WIPES;

CANNED GOODS – easy

open cans of tuna, Vienna

sausage,

any canned meat, soups,

vegetables, and fruits

INSTANT COFFEE;

CANDLES (used or new);

LONG JOHNS;

HEATERS and PROPANE

for warmth and cooking

food; *

UMBRELLAS that fold

small would be appreciated

and/or PONCHOS;

Love One Another Ministry (LOAM) Outreach

TINS (cookie or popcorn)

help keep food fresh in damp

weather and safe from

animals.

* Do not be concerned about

contributing to the purchase

of — or purchasing yourself

— propane and/or propane

heaters. These are not fire

hazards as they have auto

shutoff valves if knocked

over. They are needed not

only for heat in the winter

but for cooking all year long.

Candles are really the

problem as they are easily

knocked over or touched

inadvertently. But they are

needed to see in the evening

and night hours. Candles in

jars or have stable, flat

bottoms are safer.

Graduates 2018: Holly Babcock and Grace Hannah

As your classes and grading are now

complete, may you strive toward

excellence in all you do. As the speeches conclude, may your

voices rise up to pronounce justice

and peace in the world. As the fanfares cease, may you sing of

joy, even in the dark and lonely

places. As the applause quiets, may you

celebrate and lift up those around

you. As you graduate, may your

achievements grow and cause

growth in your communities.

A Prayer for Our Graduates: Holly and Grace

And may we all know of the

overwhelming blessings of the One

who created all things.

Babcock who graduated with a

nursing degree and passed her

boards! And has a job!!!!

Congratulations to Grace

Hannah who graduated from

West Jefferson High School and

School of Art and Design.

NewsNet, May 30, 2018

If you didn’t have a chance to meet Holly Babcock when she

had a few spare minutes from studies to attend Maynard, I’m sure

you know her “famous” uncle, our own Bryan. Bryan is proud of

all his nieces and nephews and Holly is one of many and it is her

time to experience his pride. Their smiles say it all!

Congratulations!! Much luck as you begin your career in nursing!

Grace Hannah is a high school graduate just starting out on

whatever she decides to do. A great artist puts her opportunities

and schools to help her fine-tune her craft. Grace, your grandma

(Connie Hammond), along with Maynard, are very proud of you!

Congratulations!

encourages all West Ohio United

Methodists to participate daily in

Praying Our Way Forward, from 2:23

participate in weekly fasting.

Here is a suggested prayer that

you can begin to pray:

“Christ be with me, Christ

within me, Christ behind me,

Praying Our Way Forward

Christ before me, Christ beside

me, Christ to win me; Christ to

comfort and restore me; Christ

beneath me, Christ above me,

Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,

Christ in hearts of all that love

me, Christ in mouth of friend and

stranger. “

The West Ohio Annual

Conference of the United

Methodist Church held its

49th session June 3 thru 6,

2018, at Lakeside, OH.

Attending this year from

Maynard Avenue UMC

were Pastor Patricia, Maria

Bernal, Rose Wagner, and

Leo Soboslai.

As usual, there were the

budget to approve, reports

to be heard, and other

annual conference business

to tend to. We also lit candles to remember

pastors and spouses that we

lost this year. A candle was

lit for Ruby Jones, who was

the spouse to Rev. Evan

Jones who served at

Maynard from 1970 to

1979. We celebrated

pastors retiring and pastors

being commissioned to

serve as deacons, elders,

another positions.

Worship services are

always amazing. We heard

from the Scioto Ridge Boys

Quartet, as well as the

Annual Conference Choir.

Great sermons were

offered by our very own

Bishop Gregory Palmer, as

well as Dr. Zan Holmes and

Rev. Louise (Lou) Seipel.

The theme for the conference

gathering was Be Not Afraid,

There Is Enough. This is based

on the scriptures about the

feeding of the 5000, teaching us

how we are to trust God that

2018 Annual Conference: Be Not Afraid, There Is Enough

there is enough even when we

don’t think there is.

Light the Way campaign, which

started last year, is still in motion ...

the monies raised help new church

start-ups across the conference.

Maynard made the contribution

of over $100! Thank you for your

generosity!

At conference, a 5K run helped

raise over $9,000! And at the

conference level, the totals are

now well past the $2.1 million

mark!! Amen!

Recommendation 6 was before the conference asking that we

support the immigrants among us

by offering material, legal, and

spiritual services. We also are to

provide sanctuary to individuals

and families to those seeking legal

solutions, and to keep families

together. All things asked of us in

these situations are law-abiding

acts. This recommendation

passed!! Thank you, West Ohio!!

For more details on this

recommendation, visit the website

for the West Ohio Conference.

Thank you, Maynardites, for

helping with the cost of the

housing for the representatives.

We stayed once again at the

cottage on Lynn Ave. It’s quaint,

has three bedrooms, and nice

amenities! We always encourage

others to come and visit … for an

afternoon, or plan to stay over …

we will make room!

Come and experience Annual

Conference ... come and

experience Lakeside!
