Rev. Edward J. Preston 932-2337 E-mail: [email protected]

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” These words from Paul’s letter to

the Galatians express God’s will for the church. He was giving the church at Galatia a tutorial

on how to live together, so that they could be a witness to the world around them. After all, we

can’t very well witness to a Gospel that we do not live out ourselves! This is the example we

are to be setting, living as the kingdom of God in this world.

Recently I heard a quote from Pastor Brian Zahnd in the podcast of his Easter message;

“Every church is to be a garden of resurrection in the wasteland of death.” At first I thought

“Wow, that’s pretty severe!” But as I considered his words in light of Paul’s letter to the

Galatians, I began to feel that he had a very real point. Look around us! The frequency of

suicide and opioid use has actually driven our national life expectancy down over the past few

years. More and more people are walking away from the traditional church model and choos-

ing to be “spiritual but not religious.” Professionals report a steady upswing in cases of

depression and anxiety in all segments of the population, including older adults. The

“sandwich generation” finds itself squeezed between aging parents and young adult children,

both often requiring emotional and/or financial support. You can add your own concerns to the

list; the point is that life is often a very lonely place.

That’s why it’s so important for the church to be a “Garden of resurrection”, where people can

find caring rather than judgment, community instead of isolation, people who will come

alongside and walk with one another in times of weakness. We need to offer the spiritual

nourishment of the “Fruits of the Spirit” that Paul described above. Unfortunately, denomina-

tional churches like ourselves have focused more on structure and survival than growing and

serving “good fruit” to the hungry. Lives are lost while we fight amongst ourselves over

power, property and money.

The way to overcome this issue is not found in corporate structures but in the willingness of

each individual Christ-follower to examine their own life to see what kind of fruit they are

bearing. Do I sow dissension or love? Do I offer grace or judgment? When we each do this

examination it changes the way we act as a body, and we become that garden of resurrection

where the hungry can be fed, the broken can find healing, the stressed can find relief. So ask

yourself honestly, what fruit do I bear, and how does it affect my witness to Jesus Christ?

Shalom!

Pastor Ed

MAY 5 . . . NATIVE AMERICAN MINISTRIES - The people of The

United Methodist Church, Native and non-Native, are creating a

new history. Through Native American Ministries Sunday, we’re

able to equip and empower Native American pastors, congregations

and seminary students to do what only they can do: authentically

worship and serve Jesus. As a member of The United Methodist

Church, your gift, on this day, equips Native congregations—like

New York’s Onondaga Nation UMC and Nebraska’s Native American Sacred Winds congrega-

tion—to worship and serve as only they can. This work, and hundreds of other ministries, are

possible because you give.

May 12 . . . PREGNANCY RESOURCE CLINIC - Walking through a

life-altering decision is not easy, but it is why we exist. Our clients come

from many walks of life and with many different stories. We give each

client the care and attention they need to not only ensure that they are

educated and encouraged, but also empowered to make informed choic-

es. We desire that our clients know that we genuinely care about them

and that Pregnancy Resource Clinic receives no financial gain from their decisions. Our desire

to help our clients is based on Christian principles and values. The Pregnancy Resource Clinic

provides medical, counseling, and materials assistance to clients. a wide variety of pregnancy

support and counseling services. The clinic offers pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, and testing

and treatment for some STIs. The clinic offers education on pregnancy options and an abortion

recovery help program. The clinic also can help new mothers with items like diapers and formu-

las and has an Earn While You Learn program for clients with ongoing needs. Your donations to

this mission is given to help support these services. You can make a donation anytime by mak-

ing note in the memo of your check, on your offering envelope, or in the note field of your online

donation.

MAY 20 . . . Jane depends on financial help from the benevolent care

fund to supplement her monthly fees, allowing her to remain living in

her apartment. She has lived there for four years and has nowhere else

to go. Johnny learned how to work on a team with his classmates and

has begun to trust others to help him when he asks. Bob is thankful

that he now has the medicine he needs to treat his heart disease, and

he gets daily reminders to take it. Sue misses her children who live in

another state and aren’t able to visit often. She is grateful for the companionship of her neigh-

bors who eat dinner with her each evening. Madison feels safe when she goes to bed at night,

knowing there is a youth care specialist nearby. All of this is possible because of your generous

support!

When the Golden Cross Offering was first established, the monies were overseen by the Health

and Welfare Ministry of the conference. We know that adequate nutritious food and access to

good medical care helps us to remain physically healthy. But what does the Welfare part mean?

The additional areas cited are mental and spiritual health. Your Benevolent Homes staff has

6

the skills necessary to plan and deliver effective care and provide programs which promote the

healing and wholeness of body, mind and spirit of those in our care. By attending to all of these

each and every day, the whole person is receiving care. Within the Susquehanna conference,

Golden Cross monies help people who live at Bethany Village, Quincy Village, Normandie Ridge

Senior Living Community, RiverWoods Senior Living Community, United Methodist Homes Wes-

ley Village Campus, and the United Methodist Home for Children. Please help us continue to

make a difference in the lives of the young and the old—your friends and neighbors. You can

make a donation anytime by making note in the memo of your check, on your offering envelope,

or in the note field of your online donation.

May 26 . . Peace With Justice & Prison Awareness Your gift encourages peace in different ways throughout Pennsyl-

vania and the world. Peace with Justice grants have helped

transport women returning to society from prison to get to GED

classes, helped fund mission teams from Pennsylvania to build

schools in Vietnam, and provided opportunities for ministerial

interns to mentor prisoners in Dauphin County.

YOUR GIFT MATTERS. Your contribution gives witness to God's demand for a faithful, just,

disarmed and secure world. The United Methodist Peace with Justice Sunday offering makes a

difference through ministries in the United States and around the world. Thank you for your

generous gift!

MY COUNTRY ‘TIS OF THEE (excerpt taken from The Story behind the Song, K. Osbeck) Moved deeply by the desire to create a national hymn that would allow the American people to of-fer praise to God for our wonderful land, a twenty-four-year-old theological student, Samuel Francis Smith, penned these lines on a scrap of paper in less than thirty minutes in 1832. Yet even today many consider My Country, 'Tis of Thee their favorite patriotic hymn and call it our "unofficial na-tional anthem." The emotionally powerful ideas that Smith expressed had an immediate response.

The hymn soon became a national favorite. The stirring tributes to our fatherland in the first three stanzas lead to a wor-

shipful climax of gratefulness to God and a prayer for His continued guidance.

Following his graduation from Harvard and the Andover Theological Seminary, Samuel Smith became an outstanding minister in several Baptist churches in the East. He composed 150 hymns during his 87 years and helped compile the leading Baptist hymnal of his day. He was also editor of a missionary magazine through which he exerted a strong influence in promoting the cause of missions. Later he became the secretary of the Baptist Missionary Union and spent considerable time visiting various foreign fields. Samuel Smith was truly a distinctive representative of both his country and

his love for God.

MT NITTANY PRESCHOOL NOTES— Emily Gregory, Director (814) 234-3938 (Cell Phone -360-5032)

Here we are into our last full month of the year and of the preschool program. There will be lots to plan for; school wide picnic, Pre-K visit to Lemont, Pre-K graduation, final reports. Of course that is on top of the daily planning and preparation. Caterpillars are on the way to

watch the butterfly cycle. So much learning excitement!

April was busy with Easter activities. Several parents, and even staff, were a bit teary as we had our last Easter Bonnet Parades. Other spring and Easter activities filled the month. We met with parents for the last time to conference with them at the end of the month.

A big thank you for those that supported our fundraiser. We made enough to pay for the end of year picnic. Families will gather at Sunset Park for a pot luck and social time together.

Please continue to pray for the families and staff as we wind down the year and program. All but one of our families have secured placement for next year. Please pray that the transition is positive for them.

FROM THE BANQUET CHAIR — Wendy Franklin 238-0662

The peanut butter egg project is over for another year. We made over 1,000 dozen...that

is more than 12,000 eggs. Wow! I am tired just thinking about it. Thank you to all the vol-

unteers and sellers out there. If you haven't turned in your money yet, please do as soon as

possible. Any questions, please talk with Wendy.

2019 Community Dinner has come to an end. We have served over 600 people not counting

our April dinner. Great fun and fellowship. Thanks to all the volunteers. Rest up...football

season is just around the corner.

Banquet help needed for Thursday, May 2 (lunch) and Saturday, May 4th (dinner) If you

are able to help for either of these banquets, please talk with Wendy.

The Every Daughter Banquet is set for Saturday, May 11th. All ladies

and young ladies of the church are invited to attend - dinner made and

served by the men. A program to follow that will be fun for all. Adult

tickets are $8 and children age 11 and under $4. Buy your tickets on

Sunday morning.

Notes from the Trustees’ David Spotts, Chairman; E-mail: [email protected]

Parsonage - The church leadership has decided to put the search for an accessible parsonage on

hold since we are currently in the process of changing pastors. However, please contact Dave Spotts, Bob Jones or Patty DeCapria if you learn of an accessible house coming up for sale in the near vicinity to our Church.

2019 Projects - The Trustees’ have planned to accomplish the following projects during the 2019

calendar year: grounds maintenance, replace the breakers within three electrical panel boxes locat-ed in the Education Building, conduct repairs and improvements to the playground area, strip and wax the tile floors, repaint the parking lot lines and improve the lighting of the parking lot.

Sanctuary and Lobby Project - A Charge Conference was held on Sunday March 17, 2019 at

10:00 AM to vote on the proposed Sanctuary & Lobby Improvement Project. A total of 100 ballots

were collected and tallied by the trustees’. The result of the vote was 76 for and 24 against. Since

approximately 75% of the church members that were present favored the renovations, the trustees’

will proceed with the project. The renovations will occur overtime in a logical order as funding be-

comes available.

Water Line Project– Sippel Construction will be replacing the water line along East Branch rd

this spring. They will be temporarily storing stone and other materials on church property. As com-

pensation, Sippel will be enhancing the asphalt entryway into the church parking lot from East

Branch Road. (later this summer)

PENTECOST is

Sunday, June 9th

As is our tradition at Mt. Nittany UMC, we will decorate the sanctuary with red geraniums on

Pentecost Sunday. Please PRINT your

“You are the light of the world. A city on top of a hill can’t be hidden.” (Matt. 5: 14)

I LOVE JESUS! That’s the first thing I really want you to know about

me. The second is that I love seeing God moving in the lives of so

many faithful through this body we call the Church. And I am so

ready to dream with you and to pray with you, and to watch all that

God wills come to fruition for this family at Mount Nittany UMC and

the community we’re called illuminate through Christ’s love—truly,

a city on a hill!!

Of course, my prayer is that we will continue to build upon the work

of all the faithful here, connecting our community to God in such

ways that they will be transformed, thus transforming the world. For the past five years, I have

been the pastor at Trinity Bellefonte, but spent one year at Grays UMC north of State College. I

graduated in 2018 from Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, DC, with a Master of Divinity

degree. I also have a Master of Science degree in Communications from Clarion University of Penn-

sylvania and a Bachelor of Arts degree from the State University of New York at Plattsburgh. Prior to

pastoral ministry, I was worship leader at Middlesex United Methodist Church near Carlisle, and at

Bethel Church of the Nazarene as well as Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, both in State College.

Professionally, I was a newspaper editor and book author. I live with my two boys, Kostyn Orrie, 11,

and Evan Thomas, 10, our Australian Shepherd, Chipper, and our incredibly sassy house cat, Moo-

Moo. We love the outdoors, and especially sailing and swimming at the area lakes and hiking, run-

ning, mountain biking and skiing in the mountains. And of course, we are Penn State fans! I’m so

excited to meet every one of you and see what God has for us as we begin a new chapter in this sto-

ry together! Please feel free to call, write or text Pastor Chris anytime at

[email protected] or (717) 525-3205, and you may scout him out on Facebook or Instagram

under Christopher Kostyn Passante or CKPassante, respectively.

We will have a celebration of the ministry of Pastor Ed and Donna

on Sunday,June 9th at 12:00pm. More details to follow, but

please mark your calendars for this date and time and share a meal

and afternoon as we thank Pastor Ed and Donna for their leadership

and time spent with our Mount Nittany Church Family.
