April 2012, Volume IX, Issue IV

Jesus said, “Come to Me, all who areweary and heavy-laden, and I willgive you rest. Take My yoke uponyou and learn from Me, for I amgentle and humble in heart, andyou will find rest for your souls.

For My yoke is easy and My burdenis light” (Matthew 11:28-30).

“For most, discipleship has become so complicated that it is no longer an easy burden and a light load. But Jesus intends for the Christian life to be easy and light and to bring rest to our souls. Fulfillment of the Great Commission is meant to be restful not stressful” (Neil Cole – Search and Rescue – Becoming a Disciple Who Makes a Difference.

Perhaps it is human nature to take something simple and complicate it. Sometimes we get into the habit of over-explaining. I guess there are things that just seem too simple so we try to make it appear more complex by adding unnecessary explanations.

We take, for example, salvation by faith through the love of God and write volumes on the subject. We often read the volumes written about scripture without reading the scripture passage itself. We create long, complicated confirmation processes in order to receive persons into the church and often neglect their relationship with God. We pass out things like the Four Spiritual Laws and treat them as the requirement to be saved, rather than the result of justifying grace.

As an example of why we have the Ten Commandments, let me put forth the following: “Think of the teenager’s relief when the parent names a curfew. Though the teen seldom thanks the parent, now she will not have to wrestle within herself to decide when to be home. In many ways, the Ten Commandments function like that for the Israelites; now they (and us) have some clarity. We now know the expectations and know a way to fulfill them.”

Responding to God’s invitation to discipleship was never meant to be complicated, but rather a simple response to God’s love and grace.

Grace and Peace,

Don Tabler, Pastor

We have the perfect opportunity for YOU. We supply the lawn mowers and the grass; all you need is time and energy. Contact Sallie Trainor 732-752-4214, if you are interested in donating some time to help keep our church’s lawn looking trim. Other volunteer positions for outside help are also available.

I want to say thank you to everyone who helped in any way with the Shrove Pancake dinner. It was a huge success and I know the kids enjoyed the night.

A special thank you to both Anna Mantell and her daughter, Jackie, who did a lot of the prep work. Anna, you and your Committee can make pancakes for us any time.

For those of you who could not make it, we had a choice of chocolate chip, apple cinnamon, blueberry and plain pancakes. Also scrambled eggs and sausage and bacon. Wow, I am getting full just writing this.

And yet there is more food to come. As many of you have probably heard, this year’s Easter Sunrise service is being held at New Market Pond in Piscataway at 6:30am (sunrise). I am told the service is about 20-25 minutes long and we will have the sunrise breakfast back at our church. So go and experience this celebration of our risen Lord and come back to Christ United Methodist Church and enjoy a scrumptious sunrise breakfast.

Future events ahead are the Somerset Patriots’ game (tentative date is July 27th) and, of course, the church picnic at Mike and Lois Hatolski’s home on June 3rd.

Happy Easter everyone! HE IS RISEN!

Shalom,

Elsa MortensenAnna Mantell

After you’ve rendered unto Uncle Sam, join us for rendering unto God. It may not be deductible but you’ll have a good breakfast, great fellowship and a chance to look into the Word with your fellow Christian men. So, come to the Fontainbleau Diner on Stelton Road at 8:00 AM on Saturday, April 14. You may still have to finish up the taxes but you’ll feel a lot better about doing it! Call Dan Conklin at 732-885-1648 or Tim Espar at 732-469-7475 for more information (but not for tax advice!)

First, I would like to thank all of those that commented on the article “It Just Does Not Fit” submitted for the last issue. As an editor of a newsletter, it is refreshing to know that someone is actually reading your efforts.

Speaking as an editor, it is sometimes necessary to actually “edit” an offering. That is true also when it comes to making a perfect offering fit our lawn sign. I do get many ideas that would make great messages but, as we have said, some just do not fit. So, at times, all it takes is a little editing on my part.

The following was one used many, many months ago; “Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire?” It has just too many letters. However, if we remove the second word “your” it works….”Is prayer your steering wheel or spare tire.” The message is still the same. Well, you get the idea.

Following are a few other messages that would not fit. “Patience is when you listen silently to someone tell about the same operation you had.” Or “We are never more right with God than when we admit we are wrong.” Or this one, “You can’t get eyestrain from looking on the bright side.” One more…“If your Bible is in good shape, chances are you aren’t.”

Until next time….“keep those cards and letters coming”. The Sign Guy

Mission NewsMISSION DAY IS APRIL 22, 2012The Mission Committee’s focus this year for Mission Day is Haiti and our guest speaker is Rev. Franck Aguilh. Rev. Aguilh is

the retired pastor of First United Methodist Church of Montclair where he served for many years. Upon his retirement, Rev. Aguilh, a native of Haiti, returned to his homeland after the devastation of the January 12, 2010 earthquake to minister to and to help his fellow Haitians, and he now travels to Haiti several times during the year. He founded Haiti Hope House whose mission statement is: “To seek opportunities to help educate Haitian children, and train young adults in marketable skills in partnership with existing organizations and local communities in order to equip them for a better future and give them hope.” What a wonderful mission! On Sunday, April 22, our Mission Committee will have a free will offering to help Rev. Aguilh with this ministry.

March 1st was Minnow Pond’s seventh anniversary. Our school has grown from three children in one class to 46 children in three classes!! We have a staff of eight wonderfully dedicated professionals, who teach our 2 ½ year olds to 5 year olds about themselves and the world around them. Over the past seven years, our curriculum has proven to be outstanding. Our Christian component completes the program, meeting the needs of our children not only socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually, but spiritually, as well.

All of this allows Minnow Pond to enjoy an exceptional reputation in our community. Most Minnow Ponders come to us from referrals from our families, past and present.

We have already begun to look forward to our next school year, with two of our three classes nearly at full enrollment for September. Minnow Pond also looks forward to many more years as a part of the ministry here at CUMC!

In His service,Debbie Heinbach, Director

On Easter, we celebrate Christ’s resurrection, a promise of a new life. “To all who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God”. John12:12 May you share the joy of spring and celebration of life renewed!

The Reason for God –New Adult Discussion and Video Class StudyOn Sunday, April 22, the Adult Discussion and Video class will begin a new study: How to engage others in dialogue on six common objections to Christianity. The Reason for God is a resource for what to say in response to these objections, and a model for how to say it. The session titles are:

Discussion 1. Isn’t the Bible a Myth? Hasn’t Science Disproved Christianity? Discussion 2. How Can You Say There Is Only One Way to God? What About Other Religions? Discussion 3. What Gives You the Right to Tell Me How to Live My Life? Why Are There So Many Rules?Discussion 4. Why Does God Allow Suffering? Why Is There So Much Evil in the World? Discussion 5. Why Is the Church Responsible for So Much Injustice? Why Are Christians Such Hypocrites?Discussion 6. How Can God Be Full of Love and Wrath at the Same Time? How Can God Send Good People to Hell?

Join us in the Choir Room, which is across from the Church office during, the Sunday School hour for this new DVD series and enlightening discussion.

2012 General Conference of the United Methodist ChurchApril 24, 2012 through May 4, 2012Tampa Convention Center, Tampa, FL 33602

A UMNS Commentary By the Rev. Tom Albin*

The beauty of being a part of a connectional church is that we can call on one another to pray and support each other in prayer. As the 2012 General Conference approaches, it is important to know our prayer foundation is firm and we are connected in a global prayer network.

Prayer is the foundation for Christian discipleship and the essence of United Methodist spirituality. The Wesley brothers taught us “a sincere desire is an authentic prayer.”

Frances Jennings of the Florida Annual (regional) Conference and I co-lead the General Conference Prayer Support team that is calling every United Methodist member and congregation, in every state and every nation, to surround and support General Conference in prayer. I am convinced the one thing every United Methodist can do to influence the outcome of this General Conference is to lift it to the Lord in prayer.

In partnership with The Upper Room, the Prayer Support team is providing “50 Days of Prayer for the General Conference,” a daily prayer resource available free as an e-pub, email subscription or downloadable PDF. Our goal is to have the entire United Methodist Church membership praying with the elected delegates and praying for God’s will to be done, in God’s way and in God’s time.

Significant spiritual preparation and planning are taking place to create prayer support for General Conference. Every United Methodist member can participate in this global prayer movement. Whether you are sitting in your home or participating at the Tampa site, your prayers will influence the future of our church.

How to join the prayer network

Here is how you can get involved in this exciting prayer ministry:

Visit the prayer website maintained by the United Methodist Board of Discipleship. It contains information, guidance and suggestions to help United Methodists pray together in new and meaningful ways.

Use the prayer resource, “50 Days of Prayer Before and During the General Conference.” Download a free e-book (epub) or PDF version, or subscribe to the daily email at 50 Days of Prayer.

Organize a prayer vigil in your local church, cluster or district. Consider praying throughout the hours that General Conference is in session (April 24-May 4 from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. EDT).

Ask, pray, seek and listen

John and Charles Wesley taught the early Methodist people, “God does nothing apart from prayer.” The teaching of the Bible is equally clear, “Unless God builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.” (Psalm 127:1a, An Inclusive-Language Lectionary)

Friends, our prayers are needed for this General Conference. There is more potential for significant change to occur this year than at any other time since 1968. We need God’s wisdom promised in James 1:2-5. We pray because Jesus promised that if we ask, seek and knock, we will receive an answer and the doors will open.

As we ask, pray, seek and listen, I believe God will act and The United Methodist Church will be transformed.

*Albin, a clergy member of the Oklahoma Conference, is dean of The Upper Room and director of ecumenical relations. He is co-chair of the Prayer Support Team for General Conference 2012.
