July 2014 Volume 19 Issue 7

We continue to work on a list of things that need to be done

around DRUMC. The yard crew has fixed the water valves and
timer so that our yard on our corner will return to green. A short
discussion was started about changing to a more drought-friendly landscape.
The parsonage hill was very overgrown with dead brush and palm trees. We decided to hire Luis Palacios
and boys to remove 1.6 tons of debris and take it all to the dump. The backyard looks a thousand percent
better and is ready for the next step.
The needs of our summer program, Happy Days and Summer Nights, will be met over the next few weeks.
We continue to have some strange events at DRUMC like missing paper towels, doors open, lights on. If
you find any of these things happening please lock, turn off or secure our building for another day.

Pastor Reappointed Pastor Reappointed
I am very pleased to announce that Bishop Minerva Carcano and the
cabinet of our Conference have once again seen fit to appoint me as Pastor
of Del Rosa and Emmanuel United Methodist Churches.
This marks the beginning of my second year in this dual appointment. My
wife Arthur and I love the people of our two church families and we are
very happy to be able to continue serving among you.
The first year was a time of getting to know the family and making
adjustments to one another. Although Id already served Emmanuel for the previous three
years, going to half-time signaled a new relationship with the church. And, for Del Rosa,
having to share a Pastor for the first time in its history was a new, and for some, a difficult
adjustment.
Both Emmanuel and Del Rosa are great congregations; each with a long and very proud
history of Christian ministry and service. But each church has also experienced decline in
recent years; hence the two-point charge.
My Objective My Objective
My objective as pastor is to strengthen each congregation to the point that it is once again vital,
alive, and able to stand independently. Together we can accomplish that goal. But we cannot
do it by focusing on the negative. That is, we cant just keep going around complaining about
what we dont have: the members that we dont have, the ministries we dont have, the
finances we dont have. Instead, lets begin to praise God for what we do have: faith in God
who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine,
according to his power that is at work within us. (Eph. 3:20)
When I was in high school I competed in the Optimist International Oratorical Contest an
experience that changed my life. The Theme for the competition that year was Optimism:
Youths Greatest Asset. More important than the trophies and victories, I learned about hope
in the face of challenges. Attitude shapes destiny! That is true for individuals, families,
companies, communities and churches.
Its easy to sink into despair when things seem to sour in our lives. But God is greater than our
fears and our failures. The God who stepped out into the void and created the universe out of
nothing is surely able to revive and restore us. So as we begin the journey of this new
Conference year together, let us renew and celebrate our faith in the one who said,
Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the
door will be opened to you. (Mt 7:7)

METHODIST MEN
Because of Gods great blessings, the Methodist Men are able to
start a new ministryTHE EDUCATIONAL/VOCATIONAL
SCHOLARSHIP MINISTRY. This ministry is for those who are
seeking a higher education and need some financial assistance. We
are in the beginning stages. A scholarship committee will be
working on setting the criteria and guidelines for this scholarship.
Details to come.

In May we spent more than we
received but received more
than we spent for 2014.
(We paid an extra payment toward Benevolences, see below)
It continues to be a good year, despite having fewer members and
fewer pledges. We have received rent from CGP and the parsonage
of $15,600 which is a big help. Our goal this year is to raise
$160,194. That is $13,350 per month; $66,750 through May,
Through May we raised $72,495, $5,745 more than our goal. This
puts us ahead of our goal!
As for 2014 Apportionments & Benevolences our goal is to pay
$19,932, 100% of our conference asking. To date we have paid
$9,017 or over 45%. This includes the $5,593 Finance Committee
voted to send as an extra payment. We are within $10,915 of our
goal.
This month (July) we have our major fundraiser; the Fireworks
Booth. Please come out and support it!!! It is held July 1-4; only 4
days.
