FROM THE PASTOR

“There’s an opportune �me to do things, a right �me for everything on the earth (Ecc. 3:1 msg).”

Summer is almost over, and soon fall begins. That means we won’t be dealing with the heat and humidity

much longer. Instead, we’ll have to deal with the cool weather at night �me, and eventually the cold

temperatures. We will also no�ce the changes in the color of the leaves, our ac�vi�es, moods, etc.

The changes in seasons always remind me of how much change is a part of life. John Newman states, “…to

live is to change and to be perfect is to have changed o�en.”

Well, here at CHUMC, we are about to make some changes to our rou�ne as we prepare for the Fall season.

Our monthly Family Night Dinners begin on September 5th

. The choirs-JOY RINGERS and CHANCEL CHOIR

will be back with some new music. The next combined worship service is on September 30th

, at 10am.

Sunday school is at 9am. A new six weeks small group study class starts in October.

There are more events planned for the Fall, so stay up to date by logging on to the church’s website and on

facebook.

As we prepare for this new season around us and in the life of the church, I plead with you to come to

church. Bring someone with you. Renew your commitment to God and the ministry of the church.

Remember, only when we begin to make and accept changes around us and in us, can others see the beauty

about us, and become a7racted to us.

Blessings,

*If you have any additional items about the Birthday and Anniversary list, please contact

the Church Office.

Members of CHUMC, Thank you for the wonderful picnic. The food was great and

everybody loved it. Thanks also to the people who worked hard to cook the food we are very thankful to have your support.

Sincerely, BSA Troop 500

The music department would like to thank the anonymous

members for the funds that enabled the church to purchase a Kawai digital piano, currently in the sanctuary. It is a quality

instrument that has a vibrant tone and a touch similar to a grand piano, over 300 instrument sounds, an impressive sound system, and a 16-track recorder. And, since it's relatively portable, it will give us flexibility to have music in a variety of different settings

that the acoustic piano did not allow. It will serve our music program well, and will continue to do so for years to come. We

sincerely thank the donors for their gift that will be such a benefit to the music of our church.

Thank You!!

Many thanks for the beautiful birthday cards, visits, and calls. It really touched my heart!

-Betty Peters

WORDS TO DIGEST “One of the best parts of church life is not that the people in it are a lot like us. Precisely the

opposite: the amazing thing about the church is that in it we meet people that we would never

otherwise meet.”

Dinner

Seniors Connection

Seniors get ready for a new, interesting and fun fall season. Our next meeting will be

Thursday, September 13. You won’t want to miss this interesting program, “Deaths and

Funerals of Virginia Presidents”. Virginia is called the home of Presidents because we

have had eight; Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe , Harrison, Tyler, Taylor and

Wilson. Our speaker will be Mr. Bernie Henderson, Director for Family and Community

Relations at Woody Funeral Homes. Prior to his employment at Woody’s he worked for

several Governors of Virginia, including Robb, Bailes and Kaine. The Senior programs are

open to everyone and we love to have guests. Bring a covered dish for our noon lunch.

In July, fourteen Seniors visited the Hospital Hospitality House and carried several bags

of items donated by our congregation. The tour of the facility was very interesting. We

are so fortunate to have this facility in Richmond to serve families from out of this area

who need to be near their loved ones who are hospitalized. Next, we toured the Ronald

McDonald House that has a similar mission of serving families with children who are

hospitalized. We gave the guide our large bag of donated “pop-tabs”. Collecting these

tabs is a continuing project for our Seniors, so please save them and bring them to Fay

Nunnally. We ended our tours with a fun lunch at the Robin Inn where we enjoyed good

food and fellowship. Put Thursday, September 13 on your calendar and come enjoy an

outstanding program and the fellowship of our group.

Why is this ministry so important to you?

Hunger is an epidemic. Although there is enough food to feed each and every person on our planet, we are challenged by the problem of distribution. Each time we support an agency that addresses this distribution problem we reach the hungry in their greatest time of need.

Why do you feel it’s important for CHUMC to support this ministry?

Many years ago (25+) I recall one of the founders (Dr. Ray Buchanan) when the Society of St. Andrew was in its infancy, visiting our church and presenting a program at a Fellowship Supper. I was immediately taken with the idea that one potato, which costs the agency one cent to distribute, could provide a meal for one individual. We at CHUMC have been partners in this ministry from its onset. Our continued support of this effort demonstrates our commitment to the problem of hunger.

What are some actions we can take in our surrounding communities to fight hunger?

Opportunities abound for us to address the needs of folks in our community who need assistance in supplying meals for their families. The LAMB’S Basket is just one of the many avenues that allow us to participate on a regular basis. In addition to our non perishable food gifts for humans and animals that we bring in each Sunday, we are now involved as a volunteer church by working in at the LAMBS Basket facility in Lakeside on the last Tuesday of each month.

How long have we been supporting this SoSA ministry?

We’ve been supporting the SoSA by our gifts through Missions and by participating in gleaning opportunities in Dahlonega, GA, Hanover, Bedford and Fredericksburg, VA well over 25 years.

How has it impacted your life?

On an apple gleaning mission trip to Dahlonega, GA back in the fall of 2002, our delegation from CHUMC of 13 youth and adults participated in a special meal on site after a day of picking up apples from the floor of Mack Aaron’s orchard at the foot of the Appalachian Mountains. The meal was served to those in attendance by drawing of lots. The chosen few (three!) who were served elegantly at a white table cloth table complete with hot bread, full main course, and dessert represented residents of the USA. I drew “Table 1” and was treated to such a feast. The rest of the participants (around 40 or so) were served meals that represented 5 or 6 other populations in the world; the largest contingent being group of about 15 members who ate with their fingers from a common pot of cooked rice while sitting on the floor! That demonstration of how populations around the world differ from one another in the way they subsist was an awakening for us all. Before the meal was over, my table mates and I realized what was happening in the room and began to get up and share our bounty. More sharing took place between “feeding groups” until we all had our fill. It was a very moving experience and very tearful! (Seek out Martha Sherrod, Martha Bragg, Miriam Blevins and Verna Durvin to get their take on this experience!) From that experience on the gleaning trip, I have been dedicated to doing my part to help alleviate hunger in whatever way I can.

How has it impacted the lives of those at CHUMC?

The SoSA has provided opportunities for us to focus on this ministry through the provision of Advent and Lenten Devotionals. This ministry has also opened other doors for us to participate in meal packaging events through the STOP HUNGER NOW! Of course, our own local LAMB’S Basket is one way we can witness to the community on an on-going basis. We can be a part of the solution!

Please contact the church office, if you would like to recognize a ministry or someone, with a small paragraph explaining about the

individual/ministry and why they have impacted your life. If possible, include a picture with your paragraph.

We are available at [email protected] and 266-3551

Autumn is here, and that means our choir has begun rehearsing again! You've heard us sing on Sunday mornings during the church year, and if you've thought that looked like fun, you'd be right! We have a great time as we sing, raising our voices in praise to God. If you enjoy singing, whether it's along with the radio or with friends, come and join us on Wednesday nights and see what the CHUMC choir is all about! Rehearsals are Wednesday nights starting at 7pm,.

We are working on having a Blood Mobile Unit and technicians to do blood pressure checks, etc. as part of our outside activities on Saturday. Hot dogs, hamburgers and chips or fries will be sold and of course we will be cooking brunswick stew and selling it by the quart as well as by the cup at lunch time. The stew will be on a pre-sale basis. We hope you will be planning to join us. We will need everyone's involvement to make our bazaar a success!! I know we can count on you.

What Is Extravagant Generosity?

The practice of generosity describes the Christian’s unselfish willingness to give in order to make a positive differ-ence for the purposes of Christ. Extravagant Generosity describes practices of sharing and giving that exceed all ex-pectations and extend to unexpected measures. It describes lavish sharing, sacrifice, and giving in service to God and neighbor.

“They are to do good, to be rich in good works, generous, and ready to share, thus storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of the life that really is life (1 Timothy 6:18-19).”

Churches that grow in giving know that generosity increases with participation in ministry and community, and…mission.

How does your practice of giving affect your responsibility to CHUMC?
