United Methodist Women Cape Atlantic District News

Publisher Lou Hyson

As we enter the Lenten journey, let us

“lean in” to get to know God and Jesus

better.

From THE CALL TO WORSHIP

Leader: Earth to earth,

People: Ashes to ashes,

Leader: From dust we were created,

People: And to dust we shall return.

Leader: From the dust and ashes of our

lives,

People: Create again, O Lord.

Leader: Create in us clean hearts, O

God.

People: And renew your free spirit

within us.

From THE PRAYER OF CONFESSION

One: Lord, all year we try to avoid dust

and ash.

All: Dust is the homes we have failed to

clean and our broken dreams long

abandoned. Ash is the world engulfed

in flames and ancient bodies in

unmarked graves.

One: Lord, all year we try to avoid dust

and ash.

All: But here we are. And here you are.

And it is Wednesday. And we face

reality.

One: And you insist dust and ash be

pressed to our flesh.

All: Breath again, Lord, and command

us fragile failures to walk on. Lord, let

us remember it all – dust and ash, death

and deliverance,

One: And especially you.

All: Amen.

INVITATION TO LENTEN DISCIPLINE

Dear sisters in Christ:

The early Christians observed with

great devotion the days of our Lord’s

passion and resurrection, and it became

the custom of the Church that before the

Easter celebration there should be a

forty-day season of spiritual

preparation.

During this season, converts to the faith

were prepared for holy baptism. It was

also a time when persons who had

committed serious sins and had

separated themselves from the

community of faith were reconciled by

penitence and forgiveness, and restored

to participation in the life of the Church.

In this way the whole congregation was

(Continued on page 2)

President’s Message Holly Cyrus 609-226-5337

United Methodist Women - Cape Atlantic District

reminded of the mercy and forgiveness proclaimed in

the gospel of Jesus Christ and the need we all have to

renew our faith.

I invite you, therefore, in the name of the Church, to

observe a holy Lent: by self-examination and

repentance; by prayer; fasting, and self-denial; and by

reading and meditating on God’s Holy Word. To

make a right beginning of repentance, and as a mark

of our mortal nature, let us now bow before our

Creator and Redeemer.

Joel 2:12-17 The Message (MSG)

Change Your Life

12 But there’s also this, it’s not too late—

GOD’s personal Message!—

“Come back to me and really mean it!

Come fasting and weeping, sorry for your sins!” 13-14 Change your life, not just your clothes.

Come back to GOD, your God.

And here’s why: God is kind and merciful.

He takes a deep breath, puts up with a lot,

This most patient God, extravagant in love,

always ready to cancel catastrophe.

Who knows? Maybe he’ll do it now,

maybe he’ll turn around and show pity.

Maybe, when all’s said and done,

there’ll be blessings full and robust for your GOD! 15-17 Blow the ram’s horn trumpet in Zion!

Declare a day of repentance, a holy fast day.

Call a public meeting.

Get everyone there. Consecrate the congregation.

Make sure the elders come,

but bring in the children, too, even the nursing

babies,

Even men and women on their honeymoon—

interrupt them and get them there.

Between Sanctuary entrance and altar,

let the priests, GOD’s servants, weep tears of

repentance.

Let them intercede: “Have mercy, GOD, on your

people!

Don’t abandon your heritage to contempt.

Don’t let the pagans take over and rule them

(Continued from page 1) and sneer, ‘And so where is this God of theirs?’”

Job Worships God

I Babbled On About Things Far Beyond Me

42 1-6 Job answered GOD:

“I’m convinced: You can do anything and everything.

Nothing and no one can upset your plans.

You asked, ‘Who is this muddying the water,

ignorantly confusing the issue, second-guessing

my purposes?’

I admit it. I was the one. I babbled on about things far

beyond me,

made small talk about wonders way over my head.

You told me, ‘Listen, and let me do the talking.

Let me ask the questions. You give the answers.’

I admit I once lived by rumors of you;

now I have it all firsthand—from my own eyes and

ears!

I’m sorry—forgive me. I’ll never do that again, I

promise!

I’ll never again live on crusts of hearsay, crumbs of

rumor.”

As we journey to the cross this Lenten season let us

“LEAN into JESUS! He is a great help in times of

troubles and will always walk by your side.

Take care and God Bless. Holly Cyrus

A Moment of Silence

We lost a wonderful sister on Monday morning, March 13. Candy

Wyand was called home to be with her Lord after a long battle with

cancer. She was an inspiration to everyone who knew her. She pos-

sessed a strength and determination that many of us only hope to

achieve. Even in her darkest times, she knew whose child she was.

She had an unshakeable faith in her Lord and never doubted that He

was walking with her through this journey, surrounding her with His

unfailing love.

She was so active in her church life at Seaville UMC. She was a youth group leader and

was always there to lend a helping hand with the Cape Atlantic District youth. She helped out with

beach volleyball during the summer months. She taught Sunday School and Vacation Bible School

for many years. She went on many mission trips with not only

Seaville UMC but others, as well, being the hands and feet in Missis-

sippi, in Kentucky, and in Atlantic City. She was an active member

of the Seaville United Methodist Women. Although not able to at-

tend monthly meetings all the time because of family commitments

(which were always a priority in her life above all else), she never

failed to attend any activity or function the UMW was involved with

– everything from bake sales to yard sales to district events. She was

a very creative person, making many of the centerpieces and table

favors for our UMW dinners throughout the years. She never held

an office in the local unit of UMW but was very supportive to those

that did. She heard God calling her several years ago and, after searching her heart, stepped up to

be the treasurer of the Cape Atlantic District UMW, even though she was receiving cancer treat-

ments. While her time in that job was cut short, she was an inspiration and an asset to the group

and the entire district. She was always there, willing to do anything asked of her. She was very

involved with Girl Scouts, passing along much wisdom to the girls over the years. No matter what

she did or what she was involved in, she gave it 100%

of her time and effort.

She was a shining example of what it is to be a

child of God, a woman of faith, a servant of the Lord.

She will be sorely missed, but her light will continue

on in everyone whose lives she touched. We are sad-

dened that you are no longer with us, but we know that

you are dancing with your heavenly Father. RIP

Pretty Lady, until we meet again . . .

Meeting 2016 with Mary Anne Cannuscio.

Hebrews 11:1-3 New Revised Standard Version 1Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 2Indeed, by faith our an-

cestors received approval. 3By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so

that what is seen was made from things that are not visible.

I greet you dear Sisters in Christ, with the assurance that things hoped for will carry us

through the journey of our “PURPOSE”.

The United Methodist Women are called for a “PURPOSE” and we share the blessing of our

faith in God through mission programs. It is not a mistake that we are in mission work for love of

God. Our works through faith and love of God will never be in vain.

As I pondered on what I would like to share with you in this newsletter, Hebrews 11 kept

falling into my spirit.

The United Methodist Women “PURPOSE” was certainly begun by our ancestors on a foun-

dation of faith. Even though they didn’t see where we would be today, their works in mission con-

tinued. We must continue this same faith and dedication to continue the purpose as a foundation

for the coming generations.

As I hear and read the news of today, it is disturbing. However, we have the assurance that

God is in control of everything. We may not understand how so many horrific things can be hap-

pening. In reading Hebrews Chapter 11, we are assured that God is faithful. Continuing news of

“Riots, Human Trafficking, Immigration Difficulties”, to name a few must not deter our determina-

tion to help where and when we can through our assurance that God is in control and we are His

instruments of faith and peace. Speak out, Speak up, Stand up for what you believe.

As you reflect on Hebrews 11:1-3, check out the “Mission Today” criteria, check how many

of the items your UMW unit is doing. Become a 5-Star and “Mission Today” unit. Three “Mission

Today” reports have been received for the year 2016. I look forward to receiving many more.

Recognitions will be given at the 2017 District Annual Fall Breakfast Meeting. Have you started on

your missions for 2017?

UMW strive to lead and teach through the regular ‘School of Missions’ held each year and

‘the local district officer training gathering. Make it your personal purpose to be informed and a

part of what is happening through our United Methodist Women organization, locally and/or glob-

ally. All information is available on our web site: www.CapeAtlanticDistrictUmw.org -Check it out.

Did you know that through our works in mission, we are constantly showing our faith of what

God will do for ourselves and others? With hope, our relationship with God gives us the assur-

“Sing and Smile and Pray”

I am certain many of you will remember this

chorus from Sunday School Days or perhaps

you may have checked it out on Utube. Written

in 1934 by husband and wife team Virgil and

Blanche Brock, the easily memorized lyrics offer

a profound message for all ages and makes it

certainly appropriate for today’s world

environment.

This chorus is the foundation for our Spiritual

Day Apart 2017. You are invited to fill your car

with members and friends and join us at Trinity

UMC, Marmora to share a day of musical joy

that will hopefully have your toes “a-tapping",

scriptures that will lighten your troubles and

concerns, a wonderful meal, great fellowship

and a challenge to take back to your church

family, your personal family, and even strangers

that you will meet in the days ahead.

Checking a large concordance, I found that

Scriptures contain many references regarding

the first word SING, many of them in the

beautiful musical lyrics of the Book of Psalms -

the songs of David. Checking the word PRAY in

that same resource, there are many, many,

more references to this third word in the song.

However, no mention of the word SMILE. But,

how can we truly sing and pray to the Trinity,

Father, Son and Holy Spirit, without a smile

coming to our own faces – the best witness to

others begins with a pleasing countenance – in

short a smile. There is nothing as disappointing

for a choir singing praise and leading worship,

looking out at the congregation and this is what

they see

If we plan to include the dimension of Joy in our

worship it means we need to share the

appropriate

Do you have a favorite chorus that will help us

set the stage for our celebration? Send it to me

and we will try to add it to our menu of music! Do

you have a favorite scripture verse that will

broaden our reference materials – send it on

and it will be added to the bibliography that will

be available for all of us.

Before our time together is concluded, we will be

armed with a positive attitude and appearance –

where’s that smile, a song for all to hear and

prayer that flows from our hearts and our

mouths. The famed writer Alfred Tennyson

wrote, "More things are wrought by prayer than

this world dreams of".

See you April 22nd ...

come early,

register, greet one another and be

ready to “Sing and Smile and Pray"!

Freedom Schools for Literacy

In the 60s, Freedom Schools were temporary, alternative free schools for African Americans mostly in the South to achieve social, political and economic equality in the United States. The curriculum was developed by citizens of different backgrounds and origins and consisted of three different sections: Academic consisting of reading, writing, and verbal activities; Citizenship to en-courage students to ask about the society; and Recreational which required the student to be physically active.

Today’s Freedom Schools concentrate on tutoring children grades K-8 (and some adults) in liter-acy and reading enrichment at little or no cost to participants. This venture with minor costs can be successful when schools are under the leadership of local churches; have access to tutors (English and Spanish) from colleges and universities as extracurricular benefits, current and re-tired teachers, and other volunteers; and receive financial and/in-kind support (meals, books, etc.). Some programs are incorporated in children’s church bible schools.

The impetus for this project is based on the Children’s Defense Fund (CDF) Freedom Schools® Program and support by the Southern Poverty Law Center’s (SPLC) project Teaching Tolerance. In the spring of 2013, SPLC published an article entitled “No School Like Freedom School” and re-ported that “last summer, more than 11,300 students were served through CDF Freedom Schools sponsored by schools, churches and nonprofit organizations at 177 sites in 82 cities across the country.”

Freedom Schools in some form exist in New Jersey and surrounding areas. My colleague and I met in January on this topic with Emmaus UMC and Oasis UMC pastors and Stockton University officials and learned about their Homework Completion Program partnered with the Atlantic City Police Department and the Atlantic City Housing Authority! In Philadelphia, the Philadelphia Free-dom Schools (PFS) existed from 2008 through 2014 as well as the start of their Servant-Leadership in Action program under the project. Although these programs were initiated to ad-vance minority children, they have provided services to children of all ethnicities.

I believe this practice can be initiated throughout New Jersey and continue in our nation until there is a significant (if not total) increase of students who score at or above “proficient” by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). To view our disappointing reading scores in the United States, visit NCES website https://nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/ataglance.asp for data such as the following (The Condition of Education at a Glance, Elementary and Secondary Education, Read-

ing Performance, Percentage of students who scored at or above Proficient):

I am interested in initiating tutoring for reading enhancement as a community service project to honor similar efforts by the Greater New Jersey United Methodist Women and my sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. My colleagues and I have planned efforts, with surprising results, to encourage churches, elementary and secondary schools, and universities to estab-lish sufficient partnerships, commitments, and brainstorming to initiate Freedom Schools in New Jersey and “replace the cradle-to-prison pipeline with cradle-to-college track.” [CDF Free-dom Schools® motto].

As we meet with different organizations, it is so very satisfying to find interest and in a few cases already established projects that we can check off the list! And, we plan to promote their efforts. If you are approached, will you join us? Better yet, will you consider setting up a project in your community and write to me of your success?

Well here we are again. I told you in the last

newsletter that I have been doing a bible study

called "War Room" and that the biggest decision

to grow closer to God is to put God first in

everything I do. To pray, meditate, read the

Word, praise, worship, and learn more about

Him every day. To learn what he wants from me,

my purpose. Then work to fulfill my purpose the

best I can. And to that end I would be evaluating

myself on a monthly basis to see how I am doing

both personally and how I am fulfilling the duties

of my jobs/positions.

Well you know what? Just trying to fulfill the

duties of my positions, Communication

Coordinators for CAD UMW and GNJ UMW, and

Port Elizabeth UMW President I can't help but

learn where God is working, and what He wants

me / us to do. Because you know where God is

working is where we should be working, it's as

simple as that. It's kind of like when I became a

Sunday School Teacher. I wanted to do a good

job, after all I was teaching young minds about

GOD. So, I studied the lesson, worked through

the lesson, read the scripture, read all the

information concerning the lesson, did the craft

that was supplied for the lesson, and then

presented it to the class. Wow, did I learn a lot

teaching those kids about God or I guess I

should say do learn a lot since I am still involved

with the Sunday School.

Talking about Sunday School, we are currently

working on creating daily prayer journals in my

Sunday School class. Lent is a time to repent,

pray, fast, and live a simple life all in order to

grow closer to God. We talked about them giving

something up for Lent. Or doing something

special for someone during Lent. Not just to give

it up or do the special task but to remember

when you’re wanting that item that you can't

have, or doing that task that you don't usually

do, WHY. To think about Jesus and what he did

for us, and what he did because of us. He died

on that cross for MY sins. He died on that cross

for YOUR sins. Trying to make them understand

at their different levels (ages). So we are

creating individual prayer journals for them to

learn to pray every day, not just at the table

before they eat or before going to bed at night.

And also to teach them (something a lot of

adults need to learn also) that prayer is not only

about asking God for things you want.

Again, you know I actually learn more than the

students just trying to understand the whole

concept of what I am trying to teach and creating

the supplies needed to be successful. So in the

process of giving the youth something to do to

help them understand what praying is about aka

the prayer journal, I am thinking that it is

something I would like to do also as part of my

daily worship. And looking for different kinds of

prayer journals the youth might be interested in

for each different age group, I found a wealth of

information to draw from for myself. Look for

yourself just go to http://www.pinterest.com and

search prayer journal.

Anyway, to get back to where God is working,

you need to look around you and SEE where

God is working. There are easy ways for us

(United Methodist Women) to do this, we can go

to www.unitedmethodistwomen.org and take a

look at the issues listed under Advocacy, we can

read Response Magazine, we can go for training

to a LDD event, we can go to Mission U, and we

can go to the special events given by GNJ UMW

or CAD UMW on these special topics. Please

take a look at the flyers included in this

newsletter to see what is coming up.

Talking about the events given by our CAD

UMW, the last one was the CAD Officers

training given on February 4th at Seaville UMC.

In attendance were 25 United Methodist

Women. We had breakfast, had a presentation

on the CAD website (found at

www.CapeAtlanticDistrictUMW.org), received

new vital information from our President Holly

Cyrus, and then broke into position groups to

learn what is new or help understand where to

find, how to do, or what are the functions of your

job. And if you didn't

currently have a job you

could go sit in on any of the

positions you might want to

know more about. At the

end of the day we took a

CAD picture for the Box ‘Em

Up campaign to help stop

human trafficking. We

decorated the boxes with

pretty paper and colored

markers right before we took

the picture. What a great day it was. Thank you

so much for hosting us Seaville UMC.

Be sure to read Fran Hagins’ article on page 5

about the next event the CAD UMW is

presenting on April 22 at Trinity UMC Marmora,

and see the flyer on

page 12.

HOSTING! That brings up another topic that as

United Methodist Women, and Pastors as the

heads of your local churches United Methodist

Women, we need to be in prayer about. Hosting

is very important. Without a Host there is no

place for us to meet to share our purpose, to get

to know each other, to grow in Christ, and to

participate in missions. Even though you can

participate in mission just in your local

communities, remember God's community is the

whole world.

United Methodist Women members are

steadfast in our PURPOSE. We organize for

growth to continue mission to women, children

and youth. In Acts 2, the early church was

devoted to growing in Jesus Christ, meeting

needs and joining

in fellowship. As a

result their

numbers grew.

Devotion,

fellowship and

attention to needs

of women, children

and youth are central to United Methodist

Women’s growth.

If the depths of relationships and our

commitment to one another are so important to

God, then having a place where our members

can participate together as directly as possible

must be important also.

Be part of a dynamic group of women who are

learning, growing spiritually and sharing their

faith through hosting the few events that we hold

each year or the team meetings held about 4


Acts 2:44-47 New International Version 44

All the believers were together and had

everything in common. 45

They sold property

and possessions to give to anyone who had

need. 46

Every day they continued to meet

together in the temple courts. They broke

bread in their homes and ate together with

glad and sincere hearts, 47

praising God and

enjoying the favor of all the people. And the

Lord added to their number daily those who

were being saved.

Volume 2

times a year. Get connected with women who

are giving of themselves in personal

relationships with other women and who are

giving of themselves in a personal relationship

with God. I challenge you to get in touch with

one of the CAD team and set up your church as

a host for one of the events next year, especially

if it has been awhile since you last hosted a

CAD event.

Sometimes, hosting or joining in on an event is

where God speaks to you and tells you where

he wants you to go next. I personally have

learned about things happening right here in

(Continued from page 9) New Jersey

that I would

never have

believed, for

example

human

trafficking.

Because that

happens in a

foreign countries not in America and especially

not in New Jersey.

Anyway I'll be praying for all of you, I hope you'll

be praying for us too. I send you all blessings for

the journey.
