Inside this issue:

“Joy to the World, the Lord

Is Come! Let earth receive

her King; let every heart

prepare him room, and

heaven and nature sing.”

When Isaac Watts penned

Joy to the World in 1719, he

had a clear understanding of

the mutually beneficial rela-

tionship between human life

and the creation. People in

the 18th century spent half of

their time growing, preserv-

ing, and preparing food.

The connection between

people and creation was ob-

vious to them. Therefore

Watts wrote, “No more let

sins and sorrow grow, nor

thorns infest the ground. He

comes to make his blessings

flow far as the curse is

found.”

The curse is a reference to

God’s words to Adam after

he ate the forbidden fruit in

God’s Garden (Genesis 3:17

-19): “…cursed is the

ground because of you; in

toil you shall eat of it all the

days of your life; thorns and

thistles it shall bring forth

for you; and you shall eat

Growing a Relationship with Creation Rev. Hughey Reynolds, Senior Pastor

Connecting Generations to Grow Relationships with God, Others, and Creation

the plants of the field. By

the sweat of your face you

shall eat bread until you

return to the ground."

God’s coming to earth in

Jesus removes the curse.

When “he rules the world

with truth and grace,” the

ground yields its increase.

When Latham’s staff and

lay leadership undertook

the task of identifying

God’s unique vision for

our church, we concluded

that God calls us to con-

nect generations to grow

relationships with God,

others, and creation. The

last two words of the vi-

sion have been the most

difficult for most people to

understand—“and crea-

tion.”

All biblical writers, Jesus,

Isaac Watts in the 18th cen-

tury, and our grandparents

would completely under-

stand a vision that seeks to

restore relationships be-

tween people and creation.

Today, however, most of

us live quite apart from

conscious contact and de-

pendence upon the crea-

tion, although it sustains

our lives and calls out to us

to sustain it rather than

abusing or taking it for

granted. Our suburbaniza-

tion has separated us from

the earth.

My staff convinced me that

understanding the creation

piece of our vision requires

personal investment. One

way we will relate more

with creation this year is by

hosting a Farmers’ Market

at Latham one day a week

from the end of April until

October. Another way is

through including garden-

ing as part of our class cur-

riculum. Sunday school

classes will build raised

bed gardens and then plant,

tend, harvest vegetables,

and feed the hungry from

the produce of the earth

and their labors. Listen

and watch for more details

to find out how to get in-

volved.

The Apostle Paul wrote in

Romans 8, “the creation

waits with eager longing

for the revealing of the

children of God” (vv.19).

Our redemption frees

creation. The New Re-

vised Standard Version

conveys the broad impact

that human redemption

has on the created order:

“If anyone is in Christ,

there is a new crea-

tion” (2 Corinthians 5:17).

As new creatures in Christ

we renew the creation into

which God became

incarnate in Jesus.

“Let heaven and nature

sing!”

of each of the adult Sun-

day School packets to

review in each class

every week. We’re creat-

ing our own “Information

Superhighway” in and

around the hallway by the

nursery leading to the

Welcome Center with

updated bulletin boards

for specific groups to

share precise information

regarding their groups

(i.e. UMW, UMM, etc.)

O u r w e b s i t e

(www.lathamumc.org)

and our Facebook page

are also fantastic places

to provide information

that you need to get or

stay informed.

Step #3: INCLUDE

Task: For people to un-

derstand and live out

ues and grow in the faith,

they need to be included

Greetings from Latham’s

New Communicate Min-

istry! Two thousand thir-

teen promises to be an

exciting and eventful

year in the life of our

church and community.

With all kinds of things

scheduled both on cam-

pus and off this next cal-

endar year, the communi-

cations team is going to

be busy ensuring that we

keep members and visi-

tors “up to date” on those

things everyone needs

and/or wants to know.

But more than just keep-

ing everyone “informed,”

our goal for this ministry

is to effectively commu-

nicate Latham’s Vision

and Values to everyone

in the congregation and

in our community. Out-

lined below is the 5 Step

Approach we are taking

to accomplish this very

lofty goal:

Step #1: INVITE

Task: To invite people; to

simply get them into

Latham or to attend a

church involved or spon-

sored activity. Our com-

munications don’t have

to do or explain too

much, just get folks here.

Everyone in the church

can and should help with

this first step. We’ll be

putting together material

to help make it easier for

everyone to actively and

personally invite people

within their circle of in-

fluence to attend.

Step #2: INFORM

Task: Once we get people

here, we need to inform

them in complete, clear,

and caring ways what is

happening on at the wor-

ship service or event they

are attending and what

else is happening on in

the church. We’ll con-

tinue to put information

in the bulletin very simi-

larly to the way that “it’s

always been done;” but

we’ve already begun in-

cluding a LOT more in-

formation in the scrolling

announcements prior to

the worship services on

Sunday Mornings. We

will also be including

“announcements” as part

morning worship. It is

vital, if Latham is to truly

be “intergenerational” &

“connect,” and our mem-

bers are to mature, that

our church communica-

tions actively include

them in more than the

worship service. At this

step, our communications

shift from primarily ex-

ternal-focused communi-

cations to internal com-

munications. The

Branch (what you’re

reading right now) and

ministry brochures that

take people to the next

step of involvement are

fantastic examples of

what we’re talking about

here. We’ll be putting

together PR for small

groups, small group

descriptions, maps and

other communications

pieces with the inten-

tional purpose of helping

move people into activi-

ties that connect and dis-

ciple in addition to wor-

ship service attendance.

Step #4: INSTRUCT

Task: Once we get people

to an event outside Sun-

day morning worship, we

need to enable them to

grow in their Christian

life. (This communica-

tion function is often

lacking in churches and

business’ today.) People

will not understand

Connect Team-Ready to Connect with You!

Get ready to feel wel-

comed to any service at

Latham!! Our Connect

Team has been working

hard to train to make our

visitors and members feel

welcomed at Latham

AND trained in answer-

ing all types of questions

about the church and its

activities. Beginning in

January, you will see

Door Greeters at several

entrances to welcome

you inside. You will be

greeted by ushers at the

worship entrances, ready

to assist you with any

needs during worship.

You will also see

Latham’s Vision, and not

grow in the faith and be-

come mature disciples

without intentional train-

ing; and often this train-

ing requires a volume of

support communication

materials seldom pro-

duced today. This is

where our Communica-

tions Team is going to

need a lot of extra input

from the leaders within

our congregation in or-

der to be effective! We

have a lot of ideas, but

need your involvement to

see this step all the way

through.

Communication that in-

structs people can in-

clude: Bible class out-

lines, teaching materials,

take-home study guides,

list of verses/memory

verse card materials,

quizzes, adult and youth

Sunday School quarter-

lies, teaching handouts,

in-depth discussion

guides, reference materi-

als, referral articles, web

blogs on important top-

ics, discussion rooms,

question opportunities,

etc.

Step #5: INSPIRE

Task: Communication at

this step certainly in-

cludes – but goes beyond

the “feel good” aspects of

inspiration to inspire peo-

ple with a passion to

reach out to a lost world

and to live lives of unsel-

fish devotion to Jesus.

These communications

include the brochures,

web entries, lists and fly-

ers that form the tangible,

touchable, communica-

tion of how to help with

Panda’s Progress or

Nicaragua missions, the

list of what is needed at

the women’s center or

Food Bank, and the

schedule for the Habitat

build. These are the pub-

lications, videos, clips,

etc. that link inspiration

with action. Please don’t

be surprised if you are

asked to pose for a pic-

ture or participate in a

Latham video in an effort

to inspire others to dig

deeper and fly higher

here in 2013.

If you have thoughts or

ideas as to how we can

communicate more effi-

ciently and effectively,

please don’t hesitate to

let us know. We are al-

ways looking for and

“Guides” within the ser-

vice area, seeking out

visitors and unfamiliar

faces. Our kiosk in the

Welcome Center will be

manned each Sunday

and have information on

Sunday school classes,

weekly activities and

who to contact for vari-

ous church ministries and

programs.

If you would like to be-

come a part of the Con-

nect Team, its very sim-

ple…just give us a call!!

We have another training

scheduled for January.

Training gives you infor-

mation on how to ap-

proach visitors, what to

say and, more impor-

tantly, what NOT to say.

You will get a FULL tour

of the church and proba-

bly find out some things

you never knew before…

I know I did on the last

tour!

But remember, whether

you are a Connect Team

member or not, you can

always help by looking

around you on Sunday

mornings and being

aware of who is there. If

it is someone you don’t

know, just tell that per-

son, “I don’t think we’ve

met before. My name

is…” and go from there.

You never know who

could be your next best

friend!!!

In a few weeks ministe-

rial appointments will

be made in the North

Alabama Conference of

the United Methodist

Church. An appoint-

ment equates to the as-

signment a pastor is

given for the coming

year. Appointments

usually begin in June of

each year, but the proc-

ess is underway already.

And what a process it is

-a three-part process!

Pastors will begin re-

ceiving email forms or

cards very soon. Each

pastor will then indicate

his or her desire to re-

main at the current ap-

pointment, be moved to

another appointment or

the less often used

choice, no preference

and state the case on his

or her decis ion.

Churches also get to

make their choices

known. The Staff Par-

rish Relations team

(SPR) will also be

asked to give their in-

put. They represent

your desire to either re-

main with your current

pastor or seek to move

to new leadership. The

SPR’s decision is made

without the pastors

present so the laity’s

input may be shared and

c o m m u n i c a t e d

confidentially.

The cabinet is made up

of the bishop, the district

superintendents, and sev-

eral key conference min-

istry leaders. They have

the third leg of the proc-

ess, and in some cases

the most weighty. Their

task is to meet together

and discern through

much prayer and study

how to meet the needs of

the church and clergy

that are being moved.

Their job as overseers is

to make certain that no

pastor is pushed out of a

church by a squabble

before he or she has had

time to truly become ef-

fective and to ensure that

no church is left with a

minister that is not a

good fit to lead them ef-

fectively. It is very com-

plicated indeed. In the

end, their goal is to place

the best possible pastor

into every church so that

the perfect fit between

church personality and

direction matches the

best available pastor’s

skill set. It’s not at all

easy but it usually works

out perfectly, thanks to

the work of the Holy

Spirit’s influence.

Late in the spring, the

churches and pastors are

notified of how things

have worked out for

them. Am I staying here

another year? Are we

A luncheon to provide

getting a new pastor?

Have we been able to keep

our minister here another

year? All these questions

and more are sorted out so

that the appointments can

be finalized and set before

our conference’s yearly

meeting, Annual Confer-

ence, where the assign-

ments are made official.

It is confusing for many,

especially those of us that

come from other denomi-

nations like the Baptist

church who hire their min-

isters on the congrega-

tional level. But you do

have input into the deci-

sion. All you have to do

is offer your opinions to

the SPR team.

Each conference handles

the appointment process a

little differently, as does

each bishop, so the weight

each input carries can dif-

fer. In some cases, even

when a church is happy

and the pastor desires to

remain, a change is made

at the cabinet’s discretion,

as they feel led by God to

do so. It may seem like a

complicated system, but it

has it strengths.

The appointment system

ensures that Latham will

not be without a minister

to lead them. It also en-

sures that ministers can

have a chance to move to

another church where they

might be a better fit with-

out having to worry so

much about feeding their

family while they look for

a job. But most Method-

ists don’t know how the

appointment process

works. Did you?

In the midst of so many

changes, it has come to

our attention that while

we think we’re doing a

better job of communica-

tion, others aren’t so sure.

To help deal with the

changes and the various

means of communication,

the following information

may be helpful.

The Branch: articles or

reports from all church

entities (ministers, com-

mittees, events, etc.) that

will include the history or

explanation of a church

initiative, event, etc. This

is a more in-depth com-

munication vehicle than

the Messenger was.

Sunday Bulletin: infor-

mation about meetings or

events either in the list of

weekly activities or in an

insert.

Bulletin Boards: flyers,

advance PR, meeting no-

tices, etc. Bulletin board

in the business wing will

include thank you notes

sent to the church, church

information in the news-

paper, budget information,

be group-specific.

Welcome Center Kiosk:

church brochures, any

postings from committees,

small groups, coming

events.

There will be a change in

our Sunday night activi-

ties beginning on January

6th. We had hoped that

the Sunday night dinners

would grow and become

Sunday Night Dinners Susan Terry

self-sufficient, but that

didn’t seem to happen.

We had really good atten-

dance on covered dish

supper nights, but not as

great on the other nights,

even though the food was

awesome! So beginning

on January 6th, we will no

longer have Sunday night

dinners. Children and

youth will both begin ac-

tivities at 5PM with a

snack supper in different

areas and continue with

their activities until 7PM.

The Women’s Study (led

by Catherine Beck) and

the Bible Study (led by

Hughey Reynolds) will

begin at 5:30 and end by

7PM.

We will continue to

have our covered dish

dinners on the last Sun-

day night of each

month, usually with a

theme in mind. January’s

covered dish dinner will

be on the 27th and the

theme will be comfort

food!! It can be soup,

casseroles or fried

chicken…whatever is

your comfort food. On

covered dish nights, there

will not be a youth or

children’s snack supper.

We will begin eating at

4:45PM in Farley Hall,

just as before and end

about 5:30 so everyone

can attend their respec-

tive studies or choirs. Re-

member, covered dish

night is ONLY the last

Sunday night of each

month.

Children’s Lock-In: just a few pictures from our children’s lock-in. The girls had a diva night (painting nails

and playing dress-up) while the guys played ball and watched movies. Look for another lock-in coupled with a

I think Latham was the

only entry in the parade

with a fully-staffed

managed to get our picture

made with Santa!!

Beginning in the Spring

of 2013, we will begin

offering a series of

classes entitled “Latham

Basics.” These classes

will be offered to all

members, both new and

not so new. In these

courses, you will get a

taste of what it means to

be a member here at

Latham as well as how

the United Methodist

Church works. We will

look at everything from

basic beliefs and doc-

trines that set us apart

from other denominations

to how and why we pay

apportionments . ( if

you’re not sure what ap-

portionments are, then

this class is for you!)
