God Breathes Life Into All of Us
The first stanza of “Breathe on Me, Breath of
God,” (UMH 420), has become a prayer for me during Pentecost:
“Breathe on me, Breath of God, fill me with life
anew, that I may love what thou dost love, and do what thou wouldst do.”
I thank God for my life and the life of those I love. As time passes, I realize that not every human life is valued. I am very saddened and sickened by the recent
news stories and headlines. I think back to my Peace and Justice pilgrimage through Alabama last spring. Have we made progress over the past 50 years?
I was born outside Washington D.C. in the mid sixties. I recall my parents talking about the racial tensions and unrest. Watching the protests, peaceful and violent, has been a reality that I am daily trying to absorb and figure out.
Where would Christ be?
How does my faith play a role in all that is currently evolving? There are times I feel a heaviness that words cannot convey. Perhaps you can relate in some way?! I know that we are all created in the image of God. As the pinnacle of creation we
are to love, respect and cherish one another as God intends!
Life is a gift. There are no accidents or mistakes. Each life matters. God breathes life into each of us. The Holy Spirit sustains and comforts us. I trust that the Spirit
will enable us to have crucial and courageous conversations. I believe that as we remain in a state of prayer and deep listening the Spirit will convict and guide us in the days ahead. As we navigate through these days of unrest, I pray you can feel
the presence of God in your life.
I pray that we live in such a way that all of humanity feels valued, cherished and above all loved!
God bless you and keep you safe!

Think Bazaar—Think Canning
As we think ahead to the Fall Bazaar, we are making jam and candied jalapeños and
will continue as different fruits come in.
Does anyone have empty half pint canning jars to share? If you do, you can leave them at

them.

SEJ Episcopal Announcement Bishop Hope Morgan Ward to stay.
Grace and peace to you.
In this unprecedented time, the NC
Conference Committee on the Episcopacy
is delighted and reassured that Bishop
Hope Morgan Ward will remain our
episcopal leader until after Jurisdictional
Conference 2021.
Given the global pandemic and the
denominational refocusing that is
anticipated at General Conference 2021,
the Committee has repeatedly expressed a
hope for continuity and constancy in our
episcopal office and is grateful Bishop
Ward will remain with us as we transition
to a new future. Bishop Ward’s continuing
service allows us to press ahead with our
work in launching and relaunching new
faith communities, strengthening our anti-racism work, addressing the needs of children and
the poor, increasing our missional presence in many places, and cultivating leaders, lay and
clergy, across the Annual Conference.
Let us join together in praying for Bishop Ward and her family, as well as, the whole of our
world and our United Methodist connection.
In Christ,

New Wednesday evening study really will begin.
SOMETIME!
Following “Soul Reset”, we will have the opportunity to study “Christianity and
World Religions” by Adam Hamilton. If there were ever a time when Christians needed to
build bridges with others, seeking peace in our world, loving our neighbors, and finding
positive ways to share the gospel, it is now.
In “Christianity and World Religion,” Revised Edition, Adam Hamilton deals with questions so many of us have about the four major world religions—Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, and
Judaism—and compares the beliefs of each with those of Christianity. In his trademark style, Hamilton helps answer questions such as: Why are there so many different religions? How should we view their beliefs? What is the fate of those who have different religions? This is a
six week DVD study that will be offered Wednesday evenings following supper.
The date for beginning this study will be announced when we have a better idea as to when JUMC can reopen and operate as usual.
Questions? Please contact me at: [email protected].
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Council of Bishops
(COB) has announced new dates for the 2020 Jurisdictional
Conferences in the United States which have been postponed
due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Jurisdictional Conferences in the United States will be
held November 10-12, 2021. The days prior to and after can
be used at the discretion of each Jurisdictional Conference.
In the call letter to Jurisdictional Conferences secretaries and
heads of delegations, COB President Bishop Cynthia Fierro
Harvey noted that the dates chosen by the bishops
intentionally followed the postponed 2020 General
Conference, which will now take place August 29 –
September 7, 2021, at the Minneapolis Convention Center in
Minneapolis, Minn.
The bishops have the authority to set dates for the
Jurisdictional Conferences as per Division Two – Section II –
Article IV of The Constitution of The United Methodist
Church (¶26 of The Book of Discipline, 2016).
As per ¶30 of The Book of Discipline, Central Conferences
outside the United States will be held within a year following
the postponed 2020 General Conference that will now be held
in 2021.
“The Council of Bishops encourages the entire United
Methodist Church to continue in deep, unceasing prayer for
the Holy Spirit to guide us through these unprecedented times
of challenges brought by the COVID-19 pandemic. God, who
has been with us on this journey, will see us through and
bring us together in praise and worship,” the call letter stated.

In 1995 - a year after a ceasefire was signed at the
end of the war against the people of Artsakh, (breakaway
state previously part of the USSR) Project AGAPE in
partnership with the local government launched the
Children’s Home project which, for a long period of time,
was the only shelter in Artsakh for all the children who lost
their parent or parents during the war. Since 1995 there
have been some minor renovations done by different
volunteer teams visiting from both UMC Conferences of
North Carolina in different years, like the renovation of the
kitchen, the playroom, the separate laundry house, the roof
and the outside walls of the building, but the Children’s
Home building needed a major renovation and the building
team from North Carolina started it in July of 2019.
The supply of potable water has always been an issue in the
town, but in 2018 when the town of Berdzor began using a
new water supply system, the quality of the supplied water
got even worse due to the lack of a proper filtration system:
the new water system has made several children and adults
in the area sick (nausea, diarrhea, gastrointestinal
infections, and disease). The Project AGAPE Board of
Directors approved the installation of a water filtration
system for the Project AGAPE Center and that has been
installed and is working well. Three teams who went to
Armenia (a building team lead by Wanda Watts to renovate
a family house, a 25th Anniversary Team lead by Allan
Van Meter and Bishop Charlene Kammerer to celebrate the
lifesaving activities of Project AGAPE in the region and
the building team of July 2019 to renovate the Children’s
Home) used the water and did not become sick. The
laboratory testing of the water proved that its quality is
great - not much different from distilled water. But along
with this change came the sense of guilt knowing that the
rest of the town and especially the kids at the orphanage
continued to use unfiltered water. It’s important to mention
at this point, that the AGAPE Children’s Home, the
Hospital and the AGAPE Center are the only facilities in
the area that have a 24-hour water supply. Other habitants
of the area get only a 2-hour water supply every day or
even every two days.
Project AGAPE applied to Wesley Foundation of Myers
Park UMC asking for a grant of $8600 to install a similar
system, protect the children’s health through a filtered
water supply system and continue its long term
commitment of helping the children at the AGAPE
Children’s home to live a healthy life this time through safe
drinking water year-round. As soon as the grant was
approved, Project AGAPE contacted the filtration company
and began the project. The project was completed in two
months after the grant had been approved and the funds
received. Now the Children’s Home is also maintained by a
filtered water supply system and the children drink healthy
filtered water and live in the healthy environment of the
renovated Children’s Home.
Since the system was installed, Project AGAPE makes sure
that the system is monitored on a regular basis and that the
cartridges and elements are changed at the recommended
times and the mineral tablets are added on a schedule. The
grant received from the Wesley Foundation will also
support in the first year’s cartridge replacement and
maintenance of the filtering system.
The local official newspaper of Kashatagh region published
an article about this project which was also shared by one
of the official newsletters of the Republic of Armenia.

An invitation to begin a conversation about race
Dear Church Family
I have been at a loss over the past week trying to sort
out my feelings regarding the racial tensions in our
community, state and nation.
I am a follower of Christ. I desire to be a faithful
disciple and lifelong learner. As I watch the local and
national news, I have myriad emotions. My heart has
hit the rerun button countless times, as I know I have
contributed to the sin that is before me. I continue to
have a holy discontent and want to be part of the
solution that fosters deep listening, owning my part and
above all, healing.
I realize that I have a lot to learn and understand. I
honestly don’t know how to pray and how to begin
except to be honest with you.
As your Pastor I want to provide a safe and welcoming
opportunity for us to listen and struggle and grow
together.
Questions:
1. Would you like to participate in a Zoom meeting, an
hour long, on a regular basis, to begin the dialogue on
race?
2. I realize that we have been practicing social
distancing for almost three months. Many have not had
the opportunity to visit family and friends. Do you want
to commit over the next couple weeks, or closer to the
end of summer?
3. If you do desire to participate, please give me your
preference:
*Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday?
*Morning, Afternoon ,or Evening?
Please email me at: [email protected] with
your interest and preferences.
In the meantime, here are some resources that I have
found very helpful:
“How To Have a Courageous Conversation,” from
UMC Discipleship Ministries
“Talking About Race,” a free web site with varied
resources offered by The Smithsonian’s National
Museum of African American History and Culture and

ALL help.
On this beautiful spring day God’s blessings to you and to your families.
I’m asking for your help. My name is Al Miller and I am the Director Disaster Ministries for the Conference.
We are getting ready to start operations again. For the past six weeks we have been closed because of the virus, but it’s time for us to get our people back into the field and get those who were affected by the hurricanes home again. Beginning May 11, our disaster recovery centers will open up for operations. Beginning May 18, we are asking you to come and join us. We are asking for day-trippers only, those who can only come for a day, for a couple of days. There will be no overnight stays at the centers. Beginning the 1st of June, we will be allowing people to come and stay in our centers at that point in time. But to complete the work that we’ve been asked to do, to be the hands and feet, we need your assistance.
We need you to join us in our efforts of getting those home again who were affected by the hurricane. God bless you, God bless your family. Thank you.
Call 888-440-9167 or email [email protected] to learn how you can help others in need.

Breathe on me, Breath of God, Fill me with life anew,
That I may love what Thou dost love,
And do what Thou wouldst do.
Breathe on me, Breath of God, Until my heart is pure,
Until with Thee I will one will, To do and to endure.
Breathe on me, Breath of God, Till I am wholly Thine,
Until this earthly part of me Glows with Thy fire divine.
Breathe on me, Breath of God, So shall I never die,
But live with Thee the perfect life Of Thine eternity.
Story behind the hymn “Breathe on Me Breath of God”
The simplicity of this profound hymn belies the education
and knowledge of its author, Edwin Hatch (1835-1889).
Educated at Pembroke College, Oxford, Hatch ministered in
an Anglican parish in the slums of east London before
accepting a position at Trinity College in Quebec where he
taught classics.
After serving as Rector of Quebec High School, he returned
to Oxford to become the vice-principal of St. Mary’s Hall,
and took several posts including the Bampton Lecturer,
Reader in Ecclesiastical History, and the Hibbert Lecturer.
In spite of Hatch’s scholarship, his one remaining hymn
reflects both a profound simplicity and a deep knowledge of
Scripture. His hymn draws largely from John 20:21-22,
following John’s account of the Resurrection, for its
inspiration: “Jesus said to them again, ‘Peace be with you.
As the Father has sent me, even, so send I you.’ And when
he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them,
‘Receive the Holy Spirit.’” (RSV)
This passage in John correlates with Genesis 2:7 where “the
LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and
breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became
a living being.” The author invokes the Holy Spirit to come
into his life and transform it. Using the first-person
perspective throughout the hymn adds to the hymn’s power
as the singer seeks the breath of God (Genesis 2:7) as a
source for renewal.
This hymn also finds echoes of John 3:3-8, especially verses
5-7: “Jesus answered, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one
is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom
of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that
which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said
to you, ‘You must be born anew.’”
The hymn was first published by Hatch in Between Doubt
and Prayer (1878), a privately printed volume. Henry Allon
included it in the hymnal, The Congregational Psalmist in
1886. Hatch’s widow then published this hymn
posthumously in Towards Fields of Light: Sacred Poems.

“When will we start to worship inside?”
Many thanks for your patience, flexibility, generosity and faithfulness as the “how” of our worship has transformed in order to
keep others safe and healthy! Please know that Pastor Andi, staff and key leaders have been prayerfully analyzing
recommendations, monitoring health outcomes and guidance, and working together to envision when and how JUMC worship
will transition inside. These efforts continue!
With the ongoing growth of COVID-19 cases in Lee County, we have not set a target date to begin the transition from outdoor
to indoor worship. In concern for the well-being of the congregation and broader community, decisions about timing will be
based on the local data.
We will continue to monitor COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and spread in Lee County.
Once these Lee County numbers clearly show a downward trend, we will target a date to move inside. That date will be no
earlier than 14 days after the numbers show consistent decreases.
So: you will get at least two weeks’ notice of when JUMC launches indoor worship.
We will also soon share detailed plans of practices we expect to follow once things move back inside.
In the meantime – we hope to see you at drive-in worship!
In the meantime—worship under the pecan tree.

usual prayer list has not been undated on
a regular basis.
This month I decided to put groups of
people on a “prayer cross” for us to pray
