MARCH 2018

Followers of Christ

The overarching challenge for every follower of

Christ is to faithfully surrender our lives to Christ wherever

He leads! When we are baptized we never know what our

journey is going to look like or where it will take us?!

Pope Benedict said: "There can be no love without suffering

because it always involves an element of self-sacrifice."

Throughout his time on earth Christ modeled humility, self-

sacrifice, service to others, compassion, and ultimately

obedience to death on a cross. It is in the season of Lent we

intentionally take a honest look at our lives and examine how we are doing first and

foremost in our relationship with Christ. Our relationship with Christ will determine

our relationship with others and how we live from day to day.

There's a great story about the artist Rodin, who one day saw a huge, carved crucifix

beside the road. He immediately loved the artwork and insisted on having it for

himself. He purchased the cross and arranged to have it carted back to his house. But,

unfortunately, it was too big for the building. So, of all things, he knocked out the

walls, raised the roof, and rebuilt his home around the cross (Best sermons 3, Harper

& Row, 1990, p. 115). Are we willing to rebuild our lives around the cross and make

Christ the center of our lives?

Jesus says, "If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take

up their cross and follow me" (Mark 8:34). We take one day at a time and surrender

our will to the will and way of Christ. Revelation 2:10 says, "Do not be afraid of what

you are about to suffer. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the

victor's crown."

Thank you for your faithfulness to Christ and Jonesboro UMC. It is a joy to journey

alongside you!

Jonesboro United Methodist Church has been a vital part

of our community for 140 years. Our mission is to "Know Christ

and Make Christ Known", through actions that reflect our core

values by being:

Welcoming to everyone, including those just beginning their

spiritual journey.

Prayer-filled as our Lord and Savior Jesus taught us to be.

Generous with our time, talents and resources in service to

God and our neighbors.

As we work to offer Christ to others, our hearts are filled with love and gratitude. Our minds

are focused on serving with excellence. Our doors are open to all in hospitality. Come find a

place and a purpose in our church family!

Sincere appreciation to all who attended breakfast at Mrs. Wenger’s on

Wednesday mornings from 10:00-11:00 a.m. for our series of book studies.

You are invited to join us at Mrs.

Winger's for the next book study

entitled, “Just Mercy, A Story of Justice

and Redemption,” by Bryan Stevenson.

This book was named one of the best

books of the year by The New York

Times, The Washington Post, The

Boston Globe, Time, and The Seattle

Times.

The study began on Wednesday, February 7. Please google “Study guide to Just Mercy”

to receive your discussion questions from Random House. There are thirty-nine pages in

all which includes a summary of each chapter.

This nonfiction book is described as “Every bit as moving as “To Kill a Mockingbird,”

and in some ways more so ... a stirring testament to the salvation that fighting for the

vulnerable sometimes yields.” (The New York Review of Books). Books can be ordered

from Amazon.

This study will be led by Nancy Tew and Melba Hales.

What is a pall?

Did you know JUMC has one for use?

A pall (also called mortcloth) is a cloth that covers a casket or coffin at funerals. The word comes from the

Latin pallium (cloak). It is also the name for a stiffened square card covered with white linen, usually embroidered with a

cross or some other appropriate symbol used to keep dust and insects from falling into the Eucharistic elements in a chalice.

The derivation is the same: the cloth is named after the presumed cloth that covered Jesus.

The use of a rich cloth pall to cover the casket or coffin during the funeral grew during the Middle Ages; initially these

were brightly colored and patterned, only later black, and later still white. They were usually then given to the Church to

use for vestments or other decorations.

The rules for the pall's color and use vary depending on religious and cultural traditions. Commonly today palls are pure

white, to symbolize the white clothes worn during baptism and the joyful triumph over death brought about by

the Resurrection. The color is not fixed, though, and may vary with the liturgical season. The pall is placed on the casket or

coffin as soon as it arrives at the church and will remain on the coffin during all of proceedings in the church. If the family

members wish to view the deceased, this would normally be done previously at the funeral home before the casket or coffin

is brought to the church; but customs will vary from denomination to denomination. The pall will be removed at the

graveside, usually just before the casket or coffin is lowered into the ground. Military funerals often use the nation's flag as

a pall. (See picture below.) In the United Kingdom, members of the Royal Family or the peerage may use a flag bearing

their arms as a pall. From Wikipedia

A pallbearer is one of several participants that help carry the casket at a funeral. Some traditions distinguish

between the roles of pallbearer and casket bearer. The former is a ceremonial position, carrying a tip of the pall or a cord

attached to it. The latter do the actual heavy lifting and carrying. There may otherwise be pallbearers only in the symbolic

sense if the casket is on an animal or vehicle.

In Western cultures, the pallbearers are usually male family members, close friends, or colleagues of the deceased. A

notable exception was the funeral of Lee Harvey Oswald, in which reporters, pressed into service to carry the coffin,

outnumbered the mourners. In some Asian cultures, pallbearers are not to be members of the family but are outsiders, given

a tip to perform the services of pallbearer. From Wikipedia

Now that we all know what a “pall” is, you should know that JUMC has one

which can be used upon request at any funeral. It is white with a cross on it, much like

the one pictured here, and is stored in a closet behind the sanctuary. If you are interested

in using our pall at some time in the future, please speak with Andi, or whomever is our

pastor at that time. Also please note that white gloves should be worn when handling

the pall. This is out of respect and tradition and also to ensure that the pall is kept clean.

Example of a flag being used

as a pall, something commonly seen at

funerals when the deceased was a

member of the military.

Where He Leads Me Ernest Blandy 1890

I can hear my Savior calling,

I can hear my Savior calling,

I can hear my Savior calling,

“Take thy cross and follow, follow Me.”

Refrain: Where He leads me I will follow,

Where He leads me I will follow,

Where He leads me I will follow,

I’ll go with Him, with Him all the way.

I’ll go with Him through the waters,

I’ll go with Him through the waters,

I’ll go with Him through the waters,

I’ll go with Him, with Him all the way.

Refrain:

I’ll go with Him through the garden,

I’ll go with Him through the garden,

I’ll go with Him through the garden,

I’ll go with Him, with Him all the way.

Refrain:

I’ll go with Him to dark Calv’ry,

I’ll go with Him to dark Calv’ry,

I’ll go with Him to dark Calv’ry,

I’ll go with Him, with Him all the way.

Refrain:

I’ll go with Him to the judgment,

I’ll go with Him to the judgment,

I’ll go with Him to the judgment,

I’ll go with Him, with Him all the way.

Refrain:

He will give me grace and glory,

He will give me grace and glory,

He will give me grace and glory,

And go with me, with me all the way.

Blandy, a Salvation Army officer, wrote this song after choosing between a comfortable

post at an established church, and an alternate assignment to the New York City waterfront

and slum called Hell's Kitchen. He chose the latter.
