I grew up in the United Methodist Church but when I started attending seminary I wasn’t completely sure if I would become a United Methodist pastor and for a time considered becoming a Presbyterian or an Episcopalian. But when I took a class in United Methodist history I found myself falling in love with John Wesley and the early Methodist story. Wesley had a passion for Christ and a focus on bringing the gospel to people that was contagious. I loved that he called people to Christian practices like worship, prayer, and Bible reading. I loved that Wesley’s Christianity was more than just a head thing; that his heart had been “strangely warmed” by God’s love and that he wanted the same for others. I loved that he broke some of the rules of his time and that he organized and helped non-clergy to be in ministry. Now Wesley wasn’t perfect. He was a rotten husband and thank God he never had children, but there is still much for us to learn from Mr. Wesley and the early Methodist movement.During the month of June, we’ll
be focusing on some of our rich Methodist heritage in both preaching and in this edition of 930 North. As you read I hope you’ll learn something new. I hope you’ll see that much of what we do at First UMC is
in keeping with our great Methodist roots and practices. And I pray that you’ll find inspiration that will call you deeper into your walk with God.June is also the month that we say
farewell to Rev. Susie Thomas and Rev. Brad Franklin. Rev. Thomas has been appointed to serve as the Pastor of Ingleside and St. Luke’s UMCs, and Rev. Franklin to First UMC, Winnfield. We will have a farewell reception for them in the Ory Parish Hall following worship on June 15. Both have served our church with much love and faithfulness and I know you’ll want to attend to wish them well.Our new Associate Pastor, Rev.
Pattye Hewitt, will be with us in worship on June 29. Rev. Hewitt comes to us having served most recently as pastor of Pearl River UMC and I’m confident you will love her. We will have a reception to welcome Pattye and her husband, Jimmy, following worship on June 29th. Even though it’s the middle of summer break, I hope you’ll come to offer Pattye and Jimmy a warm First UMC welcome!
Yours in Christ,
From Rev. Brady Whitton Senior Pastor

In celebration of FUMC’s 90th anniversary at the North Boulevard location, we contacted Lieutenant Colonel Philemon A. St. Amant, Sr., US Army, Retired, as the person with the longest membership in the FUMC family. We asked Colonel St. Amant to share memories of his time at FUMC and how this has impacted his life. The Methodist Church was first established in Baton Rouge in 1836, at the corner of Church Street (now 4th Street) and Laurel Street, facing on Church. This being slightly before my time, I have no personal recollection of the incident,
but it was still in the same location when I began my regular attendance of Pre-School Sunday
School in 1923. My fellow attendees were all boys, none of whom survive today. Our activities consisted mostly of playing with wooden
and celluloid animal toys and singing songs like, “Jesus loves me, this I know, For the Bible tells me so.”
In 1925, when the new First Methodist Church South of Baton Rouge was being built at its current location at the corner of North Boulevard and East Boulevard, I had the pleasure of standing on the North Boulevard neutral grounds to watch the Masonic ceremony of laying the cornerstone. One of the participating Masons was my father, Alfred D. St. Amant, who also taught a men’s Sunday Bible Class at the church.
In 1926, the congregation moved into the new church, where I regularly attended Sunday School and Sunday morning church services. In 1928, I joined as a member. Some time in my teen years, I regularly attended the Sunday evening meetings of a youth group, The Epworth League, and a morning university-age Sunday School. At some point, there was apparently some
dissatisfaction with the leadership of The Epworth League, of which I have no personal knowledge, and another organization, perhaps the Methodist Youth Fellowship (MYF) was substituted.
I was absent from Baton Rouge, in the US Army from 1939 to 1959, at which time I retired and returned home and started an accounting and business advisory practice.
My older brother, Alfred D. St. Amant, Jr., since deceased, served as a Methodist minister in the Louisiana Annual Conference until retirement, and a younger brother, Francis C. St. Amant, also now deceased, served until retirement as a Methodist minister in the Nebraska and Wisconsin Annual Conferences.

Did you know?Methodism is a Protestant denomination that
sought to inspire a deep revival within the Church of England. Because they originally
were methodical and highly disciplined in their approach to the Christian life, their opponents
labeled them “Methodists,” a name which stuck. John Wesley, known as the founder of the Methodist movement, did not initially
intend it to become a separate denomination. The movement calmed in the 19th century as Methodists established local churches,
colleges, and seminaries. Today, The United Methodist Church ranks as the third largest
single denomination in North America, with over 8 million members
throughout the world.

From the youngest member of our Brock family, Helen Marie (2-1/2yrs), to the oldest, now deceased, Walter and Helen, First Methodist has been an anchor for our family.
The Brock family has been blessed to be a part of First Methodist, beginning with Walter and Helen in 1946, after they settled in Baton Rouge after World War II. They set an example for all of our family members to come. They were involved in all aspects of church service; but more importantly, they were wonderful Christian people who instilled, by example and training, the same values and traditions that they had into their children, Linda and Alan, and later on in the lives of their grandchildren.
In 1972, both children married their spouses in the FUMC Sanctuary. Linda married Bob McNabb; and Alan married Colleen Quaid.
As a life-long member of First Methodist, Alan has had the opportunity for service in many different areas, such as: Administrative Board (now called Church Council), Building and Grounds Committee, Finance Committee, Executive Committee, and Vice-Chair of Trustees. He also participates in local and foreign mission work.
Colleen grew up in the Catholic tradition, but joined First Methodist when their first child was born, realizing that a family church experience was very important. This was very significant in carrying-on the Brock family connection at First Methodist. Colleen has also had the opportunity for service in many areas as well. These areas include: the Care Team, member of the Brock UMW Circle, and the HOPE Ministry Food Bank. Both Alan and Colleen have been members of the Colloquium Sunday School class for over 25 years.
Alan and Colleen’s two children, Christopher and Jennifer, were raised at First Church, and married their spouses in the FUMC Sanctuary. In 2011, we welcomed Helen Marie (daughter of Chris and Sirena) and she was baptized here in 2012.
Chris and Sirena have both become active in service at First Methodist. Being involved with the Spiritual Leadership Academy, starting a group for parents of children with special needs, being lay Communion servers, and other various mission projets. Sirena is also the co-leader of the Brock UMW Circle.
As parents and grandparents of Helen Marie, we are so blessed to be members of First Methodist where we know she will receive so many benefits from the Children’s Ministry that others of us in the Brock family have benefitted from.
It does indeed “take a village” to raise children. For the Brock family, First Methodist has been, without a doubt, the village that we have needed to help us maintain an ongoing legacy that ours and future generations will benefit from in their spiritual journey. It begins with parental nurturing, guidance, and teaching and is enhanced by our First Methodist Children’s Ministry. We look forward to the legacy that began in our family, with Walter and Helen, to be carried on for many generations to come!

When I joined FUMC I chose to remain an affiliate member, because I grew up and was confirmed Catholic. To me a person’s denomination is not as important as exhibiting Christ-like behaviors that reflect God’s love. Methodism isn’t far removed from Catholicism, but I found that the biggest difference was the welcoming and loving presence I felt. Methodists invite everyone to the Communion table and the church truly has an open door feeling. Being at FUMC allowed me to see that being Christian wasn’t about your religoius rites, but rather that we are all loved by God and we should all reflect that in our service and love of others.
Our hope for Helen Marie is that she will grow to love God, to serve others, and to have a strong personal relationship with Jesus. As she faces challenges in life, we hope she’ll lean on her faith to know she is loved and special and hopefully she’ll reflect that in her actions.
One of our founding principles as Methodists is to serve others in the world around us. Through the many missions and volunteer programs offered by FUMC, members are given the opportunity to be the hands and feet of Christ, both in our local community and around the world.
There are endless opportunities to contribute your time and talents to not only the church body, but to the outreach mission and volunteer programs available. Contributing to such programs provides you a renewed sense of purpose by allowing you to live out Jesus’ teachings on the path of discipleship.

Did you know?It is estimated that John Wesley rode 250,000
miles by horseback, gave away 30,000 pounds, and preached more than 40,000 sermons. Because of his charitable nature, he died poor, leaving as the result of his life’s work 135,000 members and 541 itinerant preachers under the name “Methodist.”
This is the hard work that laid the foundation for families like the Brock’s to maintain this Wesleyan tradition for generations to come.

Since January, I’ve been in a great “Journey Group” here at First United Methodist. We meet during the Sunday School hour
and so far, we’ve worked through the book The Good and Beautiful God by James Bryan Smith. This small group has been a blessing in a number of ways.
When I joined the church in November of last year, I heard that some small groups were being formed and I was encouraged to join one. I wasn’t sure how it would fit into my schedule, and I somewhat reluctantly indicated a few time-slots I could commit to. I had seen the power of God’s spirit at work in my small group during my Walk to Emmaus and meetings with my Emmaus reunion group afterward. Having recently separated from my wife, I was thinking of excuses not to join because of the intimate and open setting of a small group. I was pretty sure I couldn’t meet on Monday or Wednesday – or probably any other day during the week. I was settling into my weekly routine and had all but forgotten the Journey group idea when I received a phone call from Cherri Johnson and was invited to attend a group meeting on Sunday. When I learned the group would be meeting at a time I was already building into my schedule, I knew I was supposed to join. I’m really glad I did!
As someone who recently joined the church, this has been a great way to really get to know other people. Our small group meeting has led me to know these people on a deeper level than “that nice lady” or “that other guy with the beard”. The group includes people with a wide range of ages, backgrounds and experiences. I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how these different perspectives add to our discussion and group experience.
More than just making friends, this group has been a place where I am more open with struggles and questions than I might be in a larger class. I’ve heard about other people’s struggles with their families, jobs, and faith in a way that I probably wouldn’t have otherwise. I’ve even talked about my separation and upcoming divorce with the class before telling many in my family.
Talking each week about the chapter and practicing soul-training exercises has been extremely valuable for me. The spiritual exercises from The Good and Beautiful God are a lot like physical exercise in that practicing them helps me focus on God. I easily think of excuses not to do them, and I’m always really glad when I do. Without the accountability of regular meetings, I might not even read the chapter. As a champion procrastinator, my inclination is to read the chapter Saturday night and show up ready to chat on Sunday morning. Fortunately for me, the rest of the group is actually doing the reading and exercises. I quickly realized what I was missing by not practicing them. I have now started working through the chapter and the soul-training exercises earlier in the week. This both boosts my understanding and has produced in me a sense of serenity. I believe that God wants each of us to feel loved and welcomed and that God wants us to experience the “Good and Beautiful Life.”
“A strong case can be made that the class meeting was the single most important factor to the growth of early Methodism and to the retention of converts within Methodism. People who had come to faith in Christ were immediately placed in a class meeting, where they would be helped to grow in their faith and where they would learn how to practice their faith.
So, how did class meetings come to play such a key role in early Methodism? And what happened in classes?
Classes were intended to have between seven and twelve members in them. Women and men often, though not always, met together in the same class. The groups were also led by both women and men. Classes were divided primarily by geographical location. In other words, you would have attended a class meeting with the Methodists in your neighborhood. As far as the content or organization of the weekly meetings, the class meeting seems to have focused on three things. First, it held people accountable to keeping the General Rules. Second, the class meeting was a place where Methodists were encouraged to give weekly to
the relief of the poor. Third, and most central to the time spent in the weekly meeting, it was a place where every Methodist answered the question, “How is it with your soul?” (Methodist historian Scott Kisker has recently rephrased this question as “How is your life with God?”)
Did you notice what did not happen in the early Methodist class meeting? These groups were not Bible studies. People did not
study a book in these meetings. Among the purposes or goals of the class meeting, Wesley did not list the transfer of information from a perceived expert to a largely passive and ignorant audience. In other words, the class meeting was a very different kind of small group
than the typical Sunday school class. Rather than being focused on transferring information or ideas about Christianity, the early Methodist class meeting was focused on helping people come to know Jesus Christ and learn how to give every part of their lives to loving and serving Christ.
The phrase that best captures what the Methodists believed was so important about the class meeting was “watching over one another in love.” Early Methodists were asked to invite others into their lives and to be willing to enter deeply into the lives of other people so that together they would grow in grace. They were committed to the idea that the Christian life is a journey of growth in grace, or sanctification. And they believed
that they needed one another in order to persevere on this journey.”

Discipleship in the Wesleyan Tradition
An excerpt from: The Class Meeting: Reclaiming a Forgotten (and Essential) Small Group Experience
By Kevin M Watson
A Journey Group Reflection
Did you know?The heart of Methodism during the life of John Wesley was the Methodist Class
Meeting. This was a small covenant discipleship support group where members
were accountable to each other. They studied scripture together, prayed for each other, and held each other accountable to standards of
piety, such as the General Rules: 1) Do No Harm
2) Do Good 3) Stay in Love with God
Here, leaders were regularly nurtured and equipped for ministry in
the world around them.

My year in Australia has been the most challenging year for my spiritual life. It has caused me to work more consciously on my relationship with God and my church. Having been a member of First UMC since I was in sixth grade and working for FUMC from the time I was a senior in high school to January of 2014, I have attended church every single Sunday with very few exceptions. I can count on two hands the Sundays I have been away. Being away from my church family and
church home has been more difficult than I expected.
I had no idea that Australia is one of the least religious nations in the developed world, with religion not described as a central part in many people’s lives. In the 2011 Census, 22.3% of Australians declared “no-religion.” There aren’t any United Methodist Churches in the Brisbane city area so it’s harder to plug back in than I imagined. Luckily, with the technology FUMC has in place, I am able to stay connected to my home church. For that I am very grateful. Each week I receive the e-newsletter and each month I can read this very magazine on firstmethodist.org. I also love seeing updates and events posted to the FUMC Facebook page. Most importantly, I love being able to watch sermons from the Sanctuary service and the America Street service.
It’s amazing that no matter where I am, even half-way around the world I can stay connected to my church. I will admit, it’s a little disappointing you can’t view the entire service online, because the music and children’s sermons are my absolute favorite parts! Watching the weekly sermons are just as uplifting and usually just what I needed to hear that week. For example, the “Why We Worship” series was exactly what I needed.
The first few months of my time here in Australia was quite hectic and honestly, I hadn’t been ‘tuning in’ and watching the videos, but as I watched the first part of this series I was moved to make this a weekly practice through the Lenten season. Through this practice, I was reminded that I am a new creation, a child of God and I am forgiven! Usually, I start my practice with “coffee hour,” which entails sending my FUMC friends messages through the Facebook app and checking in with them, then getting dressed and watching the sermon for
that week. Craig thinks I’m a little crazy, but usually we wind up talking about the topic or lesson. It has strengthened our relationship with each other and with God. Often we talk with our friends about it too, which is very interesting since two of them are Mormon. We get into lively and rich conversations about our faith and the similarities and differences.
I am so thankful the church has the technology in place for me to experience and connect with my First United Methodist family. I miss you all very much!

Did you know?In John Wesley’s April 2, 1739 journal entry, he
reflects on having preached for the first time outside the confines of the pulpit: “At four in the afternoon
I submitted to be more vile, and proclaimed in the highways the glad tidings of salvation...”
Wesley and his contemporaries motivated thousands of ministers who selflessly embraced an
itinerant, “circuit riding” ministry that reached beyond the normal communities that would
populate the cathedrals of the time. Today, United Methodist Churches are exploring new frontiers,
such as the internet, to continue our heritage of reaching people for the cause of Christ.
