TRANSCRIPT
The Beacon August 11 & 12, 2018
We are so glad you’ve chosen to worship with us this week! Hearing assistance devices are available for the Sanctuary. Please see an usher to obtain these aids. Enjoy fellowship, coffee, and snacks in the Family Life
Center Gym between worship services.
Our Vision Christ-centered, multigenerational, family and community relevant ministries
through worship, discipleship, and mission.
Our Mission REACH, TEACH, and SEND
We REACH out to our congregation, community, and the world to TEACH the word of God as provided in the Holy Scripture, and SEND our members and missionaries to be witnesses to God’s grace and His promise of eternal
life to us through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Worship Services Break Free
Our Saturday evening service begins at 6:00 pm in the Family Life Center. This transformational service involves modern music, multimedia, and a style of preaching that is practical and participatory.
Traditions
At 8:00 and 11:00 am Sunday mornings in the Sanctuary we celebrate through the rich traditions of our faith such as hymns led by organ and piano, seasonal vestments, and traditional Methodist liturgy. Our Chancel Choir leads the 11:00 service.
Connect
At 9:30 Sunday mornings in the Sanctuary we engage in a four-fold service of gathering praise, service of the Word, Holy Communion with candle stations for prayer, and sending forth. The music is a blend of contemporary praise songs and upbeat hymns.
Freedom
At 11:07 Sunday mornings in the Family Life Center Gym we worship through modern music, multimedia, and a teaching style message in a non-traditional atmosphere. We come to God as we are to experience the freedom of not having to stay that way.
Welcome to Shalimar UMC
Children’s Church for the 11:00 and 11:07 am services meet in the upstairs FLC Rooms

Philip’s Focus
Deeds of Shalom There used to be a television show named Candid Camera. The show would feature staged surprises and pranks. Some of the episodes were hilarious. My favorite one was a stranger asking a person seated next to them at the diner, “Can I dunk my doughnut in your coffee?” The simple question led to priceless facial expressions. When the prank was revealed and they said “Smile you’re on candid camera” it produced unstoppable laughter and fun. You might remember there was a tag line for the show Candid Camera. “Somewhere, sometime, when you least expect it smile you’re on Candid Camera!” I loved that show. It showed how happy surprises break down barriers and walls so people could just relate as people. Our invitation to our congregation to spontaneously share “deeds of shalom” also involves the element of joyful surprises. Deeds of shalom can halt ordinary life of being busy, preoccupied, worried, bored, and replace it with love. The little deed we do for someone can even be the spark to change a life. I can remember people who said kind things or showed extra mile compassion that changed my life. You might recall the people who have done so in your life. We never know how far a deed of shalom can go! Shalom is a word that captures God’s vision for the world. Shalom can be used to say hello or goodbye. It is a Hebrew word which means peace and extending to someone wholeness in body, mind, and spirit. Everyone has many needs; spiritual, emotional, physical, and mental. We function at our highest level when everything is whole and congruent. In offering deeds of shalom we are impacting people who may be fragmented. Our deeds done in love can offer hope for a life of harmony in body, soul, and mind. In my evangelism class, at Emory University, Dr. George Morris used the phrase shalom often. He taught us that shalom was God’s vision for the people of the world. God has a vision of spiritual wholeness for the world. Jesus was sent into the world to live this vision of peace and wholeness. Shalom seems to capture what we are aspiring to in this life to be whole as persons. If we are spiritually whole, our body and spirit will be at peace as well. Shalom captures so much and this is why I have ended my newsletter articles with the word shalom through the years. As we go out this week, we have a real opportunity to make someone’s day, heal their brokenness, extend love they have not received, and even change a person’s life! Let’s go out and change this community with deeds of shalom this week. Let’s start changing the world for Jesus!

Shalom, Philip

Changing the world can begin by loving one person at a time and one deed at a time. Would it not be great to put a smile on someone’s face and share Jesus’ love by our deeds. Let’s surprise someone with a deed of kindness this week. Our doing so will produce the element of surprise which we might hear someone say, ”Somewhere, sometime, and when it’s least expected Smile Jesus loves you; this is why I do the deed of shalom!”
A large group of volunteers turned out to worship, fellowship, pray with, and serve those from our community and church that came to the Back to School Bash last Sunday night. Pictured here are folks at the prayer station sharing with the families and handing out Bibles.

TODAY’S SERMON NOTES:
This Week’s Guide for Groups & Individuals
Faith Parry, Connection Pastor
Worship and prayer was the center of the Jewish life and the early Christian community. Peter and John were having a normal day, seeking worship in the Temple when they noticed someone who was unable to worship because he was set apart from the Jewish community due to his physical disabilities. Read Acts 3:1-3. What do you picture, as the scene is set for Peter and John's arrival? How is this like your days entering worship? Have you ever noticed who is along your path from home to church? Read Acts 3:4-6. What did the man desire from them? What did they give? What do people around us in need desire from us? How can we offer them Jesus Christ? Read Acts 3:7-8. Who in your life needs to be lifted up like the lame man? How can you lift them? What are some ways you can help them stand, walk, and leap? Read Acts 9-11. When have you seen someone respond with this kind of joy to
someone's kindness? What can you do this week to love someone as Peter loved? As you go through your week, pray and ask God to show you who you need to build a relationship with. Seek moments to bring peace into their lives, loving them as God loves them. Be a friend to someone who needs one, lifting them up so they can leap.
