The Four Areas of Focus The Four Areas of Focus express the vision and yearnings of the people of The United Methodist Church. Over this quadrennium, the church will seek to focus the work of making disciples for Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world around these areas of ministry: • Combating the diseases of poverty by improving health globally. • Engaging in ministry with the poor. • Creating new places for new people and revitalizing existing congregations. • Developing principled Christian leaders for the church and the world.

Jesus and the messianic prophecies.

My beloved Parishioners,

The 2011 Thanksgiving Season is upon us and we have plenty for which to thank God. As a congre-

gation, God has proven faithfulness to us over and over. He has blessed our families and our homes. Just to

wake up every morning in our rightful minds is a blessing that we cannot take for granted.

Remember this great news as you sit down to dinner this year to consider all that God has done for

you, your family, your friends and your church. God is faithful all of the time, even when we fail to recog-

nize that all of the work of his hands and all that happens in our lives, he can use for the good.

As the year begins to come to an end, with Thanksgiving right around the corner and the Christmas

season right behind it, I was thinking about the past year and all that I am thankful for. Braden Church is

near the top of my list.

I am thankful for people here who come to church and encourage others in their faith. For the many

people who have supported me, both professionally as a pastor and personally with things going on in my

life.

I am thankful for those that are willing to volunteer to do what it takes to make Braden a place that is

welcoming to all, people who are involved in Sunday School, People in the shepherding ministry, people

who are providing refreshments for fellowship time so that we can invite guests to the fellowship hall and

get to know them better, and the people who are constantly working on the building and making it safe and

welcoming for all.

I am thankful for the people who do the administrative tasks and make it so I don’t have to worry too

much about this part of ministry. We are blessed with people who are gifted in areas of bookkeeping and

financial management.

I am thankful for those that are able to care for others as they have need. For the prayer requests that

are shared weekly, for the caring ministry that is being developed, for the desire to actively care for each

other.

I am thankful for the worship leadership and the time and effort that goes into creating worship ex-

periences that are relevant and filled with vitality.

I am also thankful for the people who do the things that might not get noticed, supporting the youth

group in the fundraising efforts, cleaning up after a function, putting stamps on mailings, organizing an

event, getting the newsletter out, working on missions.

I am just plain thankful for the people of Braden. We are a church that is alive and growing. It

couldn’t happen without all of you. I am thankful for each and every one of you. You are all important to

life at Braden.

Remember, we are too blessed to be ungrateful.

Happy Thanksgiving!

COMI�G SOO�!

BRADE� LEAR�I�G CE�TER

The United Methodist Church created four area of focus that would help direct us as the church.

One of the areas of focus is “creating new places for new people by starting new congregations and renewing existing ones.” It says “if we are to remain faithful to our commitment to transform the world, we will reach out with genuine hospitality to people wherever they are. We will make them feel welcome as we start new faith communities, seek to renew existing ones and inspire faithful discipleship.” We have decided to start a new ministry by opening a child learn-

ing center. The official name selected for the center by the con-

gregation is “BRADEN'S LEARNING CENTER”. Our goal is to

create a better relationship between the families of the daycare

children and the church congregation. The daycare will be a min-

istry of the church, not just a convenient service.

The lower level of the educational wing was dark, dingy and out-

dated. We have done a serious makeover of the complete facili-

ties at a cost of $7,411.72. We are currently In the process of

bringing the facilities up to the new fire code at a cost of $4,500.

We have begun the process of obtaining our license by having a

church member attend the necessary classes.

We will select the right leadership to make it a success. We will

either hire one well-rounded and qualified person, or a team who

can work together by utilizing their individual strengths to get eve-

rything done. It is rare to find someone that can do it all - manage

the staff, handle the administrative duties, manage the parents,

and develop the community relations to build attendance. We

believe a team approach would be best. Whoever is selected will

be qualified for their position. We will form a Day Care Parents

Organization with the purpose of involving parents in helping to

promote the Day Care, beautify and improve facilities. All parents

of currently enrolled children would be eligible.

This new daycare model seeks to reach out to people that are already in our community, but are uncomfortable or uninspired by the traditional child care service. We also believe that while the purpose is to create a new kind of child care center, it also has the potential to renew the whole church. The energy of doing something new will affect all of us and hopefully inspire us, and maybe attract the attention of people who might be interested in our Christian based child care center.

Our goal is to make the Braden Learning Center one of the best in the city of Toledo that is Christian based. We will reach out to help parents who are struggling with the high cost of child care. We will practice radical hospitality towards our parents and their kids by being inviting and welcoming. Braden Learning Center is scheduled to open March 5, 2012. Please keep this new ministry in your prayers, that God will use us to be a blessing to families in our community. Please go to the church’s web site (bradenumc.org) and see the pictures of the complete makeover. Special thanks to all the painters, cleaners, seamstresses, who worked so hard to help make this happen. We are excited about what God is about to do in our new ministry. ARE YOU EXCITED YET? ARE YOU READY TO ENGAGE IN GOD’S PLAN FOR BRADEN? Thanks to all of you who suggested names for the daycare, we appreciated your input. For your information, these were the top three choices:

1st place: "BRADEN'S LEARNING CENTER"

2nd place: "BRADEN'S VILLAGE FOR KIDZ"

3rd place tie: "BRADEN'S LITTLE BEGINNERS &

"BRADEN'S COMMUNITY DAYCARE"

Words of Wisdom

Read the Bible, prevent truth decay.

We would like to thank everyone for their contributions and support this year. We are thankful for our faithful members. We are getting to the end of the year and despite not having the income from the Daycare, and the slower summer months, we are still holding our own. Thanks be to God

Braden United Methodist Church

4725 Dorr St Toledo, OH 43615

Dear Members and Friends of Braden United Methodist Church:

Grace and peace to you from God, our Creator and the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Council of Bishops and the Connectional Table have jointly issued a Call to Action that states the adap-

tive challenge facing The United Methodist Church in the United States is to increase the number of vital

congregations. The markers of vitality identified in the research that led to the call to action are essentially

the same areas of fruitfulness we here in West Ohio have identified as the six characteristics of an Acts 2

Congregation. Vital congregations are those that effectively invite, disciple and send persons out to witness

Christ's transforming love and to change the world. In 2010, 182 of our West Ohio congregations demon-

strated growth in at least five areas of Acts 2 fruitfulness and vitality. This represents 17% of our total con-

gregations.

The Braden United Methodist Church is one of only 122 of our 1,095 West Ohio congregations that grew in

five (5) of the following areas of fruitfulness: (1) growing worship, (2) new persons professing faith, (3) per-

sons being baptized, (4) persons engaged in faith-forming small groups, (5) contributing 100% of their con-

ference apportionments and (6) growing membership. I encourage you to share this significant achievement

of Kingdom work with the entire congregation.

Acts 2 Congregations are fully engaged in transforming lives, their communities and the world. Acts 2 Con-

gregations are reaching and baptizing new believers, growing worship, forming disciples and engaging in vital

mission. Acts 2 Congregations are bearing the same fruit we see in the early church. Acts 2 Congregations

are open and responsive to the Holy Spirit. Acts 2 Congregations are making disciples of Jesus Christ for the

transformation of the world.

I write to congratulate you on your faithful response to the Spirit's leading. Becoming an Acts 2 Congrega-

tion requires much prayer, obedience to Christ's leading and intentional planning. I also urge you to con-tinue to grow in your fruitfulness and to step up to growth in all six areas by the conclusion of 2011. I believe Braden United Methodist Church is well positioned, committed and able to reach this level of fruitfulness. Take to heart Jesus' words, "I chose you, and put you in the world to bear fruit, fruit that won't spoil." (John 15:16)

May God continue to bless your work and witness on behalf of Christ and for the sake of the world. In Christ's extravagant love,

Something about Sunday school By Harriett Olson United Methodist Church

Is the lesson always wonderful? No. Is the teacher always prepared? The class al-ways engaged? Again, no. But God is always there, yearning to gather us in and to send us out. In Sunday school we can work to become the sort of communities of faith that we envision and to find mentors and models for the lives of faith that we aspire to lead.

Five Practices of Fruitful Congregations

By Bishop Robert Schnase

The purpose of the church is to make disciples of Je-

sus Christ for the transformation of the world. But

how do we do that? The most visible way God knits

people into the community of Christ and draws people

into the relationship with God is through congrega-

tions that fulfill the ministry of Christ in the world.

Fruitful congregations repeat and improve on these

five basic practices: Radical Hospitality, Passionate

Worship, Intentional Faith Development, Risk-

Taking Mission and Service, and Extravagant Gen-

erosity.

The practices are basic and fundamental. But it’s the

adjectives that make these words come alive, because

they stretch us and cause us to ask ourselves, “How

are we doing in practicing these qualities of ministry

in our congregation? How might we do better?”

Now these are practices—they're not qualities that

some churches have and some don’t. They’re not

phases that, once we get them done, we can move on

to something else. These are practices that we have to

learn and improve upon constantly. These are the ac-

tivities that are so critical to the mission of the church,

that failure to perform them in an exemplary way

leads to congregational decline and deterioration.

Here’s at look at the five practices used in fruitful con-

gregations.

Radical Hospitality.

(Romans 12:9-21)

Congregations offer the invitation and embrace of Je-

sus Christ, the gracious welcome that creates genuine

belonging that brings people together in the Christian

community. Churches characterized by radical hospi-

tality are not just friendly and courteous. Instead, they

exhibit restlessness because they realize so many peo-

ple do not have a relationship to a faith community.

They sense a calling and responsibility to pray and

work to invite others and to help them feel welcome

and supported in their faith journeys. Congregations

surprise gracious love of God that they see in Christ.

Our Radical Hospitality goes to the extremes, and we

do it joyfully, not superficially, because we know our

invitation is the invitation of Christ.

Passionate Worship. (John 4:21-24)

In passionate worship, people are honest before God

and one another, and they are open to God’s presence

and will for their lives. People so eagerly desire such

worship that they will reorder their lives to attend.

Passionate worship motivates pastors not only to im-

prove their preaching, but also to learn continually

how to enhance content and technique for effective

worship. Worship is something alive that requires

continuing care, cultivation, and effort to keep it

fresh. Pastors should willingly review and evaluate

their own work and invite feedback. The motivation

for enhancing the quality of worship is not only about

deepening our own faith, but also about allowing God

to use us and our congregations to offer hope, life and

love to others. Worship is God’s gift and task, a sa-

cred trust that requires our utmost and highest.

Intentional Faith Development.

(1 Corinthians 9:19-24)

Transformation comes through learning in commu-

nity. Congregational leaders that practice Intentional

Faith Development carefully consider the full life-

cycle of members and look for ways the church forms

faith at every age. They look for gaps, opportunities,

and unmet needs to round out their ministries and ask

how they can do better. They train lay people to lead

small groups, teach Bible studies, and coordinate sup-

port groups. They realize the power of special topics

and interests to attract unchurched people, and they

advertise and invite beyond the walls of the church.

They form affiliation groups such as grief or divorce

recovery, substance abuse, parenting, and more. They

explore new ways of forming learning communities–

blogs, chat rooms, e-mail Bible studies, and

downloadable materials. These pastors also partici-

pate in forms of community with other pastors or lay-

persons to help deepen their own relationship with

God.

Risk-Taking Mission and Service.

(Matthew 25:14-30)

This involves work that stretches people, causing

them to do something for the good of others that they

would never have considered doing if it were not for

their relationship with Christ and their desire to serve

Him. These churches not only solicit and encourage

ordinary service to support the work of the congrega-

tion, but they also consciously seek to motivate peo-


They lift examples in preaching and teaching. Risk-

taking missions and service is also part of the for-

mation of children and youth. All youth and chil-

dren ministries include teaching and experiential

components that stretch compassion outward be-

yond the walls of the church. Faith mapped in

childhood provides pathways that shape lifelong

commitments. These churches collaborate with

other churches, other denominations, civic organi-

zations, social agencies, and non-profit groups.

They actively invite and welcome newcomers, visi-

tors, and the unchurched to help them in making a

difference in the lives of others. As congregations

move beyond their comfort zones and follow Christ

into more adventurous encounters with people,

God’s Spirit changes them, changes others, and

changes churches.

Extravagant Generosity.

(2 Corinthians 9:6-15)

Churches that practice Extravagant Generosity

speak confidently and faithfully about money, giv-

ing, generosity, and the difference giving makes for

the purposes of Christ and in the life of the giver.

They emphasize the Christian’s need to give for

more reasons than just the church’s need for

money. They emphasize mission, purpose, and life-

changing results rather than shortages, budgets, and

institutional loyalty. Pastors express appreciation to

people who give by thanking members collectively

and personally, and they give God thanks for in-

creased giving. Members are informed in positive

and consistent ways about their giving. Pastors and

church leadership view “giving beyond the walls”

as indispensable to Christian discipleship and to

congregational mission and vitality. Churches that

grow in giving know that generosity increases with

participation in ministry and community, and so

they work to deepen the core ministries of worship,

small group learning, and mission. They address

the challenge of growing in giving to long-term

members as to adults new to the faith. They also

teach, model, and cultivate generosity among chil-

dren and youth. The spiritual maturity that comes

from growth in giving, and the extraordinary en-

gagement that results from tithing, bring clarity of

purpose and greater integrity to all the church’s

ministries.

These five practices work together in the mission of the

church. Take them beyond conversations between pas-

tor and church leaders—take them into the worship ser-

vices, classes, and homes of every church member to

imbed them into the fabric of your congregation. By

doing so, you will develop a unifying common lan-

guage that helps people understand the tasks of Chris-

tian discipleship. The exemplary and repeated practices

of Radical Hospitality, Passionate Worship, Intentional

Faith Development, Risk-Taking Mission and Service,

and Extravagant Generosity are the time-tested, theo-

logically sound, and effective means congregations use

to fulfill their mission with excellence and fruitfulness

to the glory of God.

Black History Reflection

The Magi are (wise men) who journeyed to Bethle-

hem to greet the savior. They carried gold, frankin-

cense and myrrh as gifts to the new born king. The

Ethiopian Balthazar dwelled in a lucrative nation

called “Sheba” located south of Arabia. The land of

Sheba was a part of the Africa-Ethiopian dominion.

The Negro children of Cush, same as Ethiopia, had

occupied and developed Arabia for some three cen-

turies before the half breed Ishmael was born.

Balthazar, next to King Solomon, is associated with

the child-Christ birth Matt 2:11

Let’s travel to Bethlehem with the Magi this year.

What will your gift be?

The beginning of Kwanza starts on December 26th.

Kwanza has 6 principles.

1. Umoja (unity)

2. Kujichagulia (self-determination)

3. Ujima (collective work and responsibility)

4. Ujamaa (cooperative economics)

5. Nia (purpose)

6. Kumba (creativity)

Kwanza was originated in 1966 by

Dr. Maulana Karenga.
