Tyler Street’s digital ministries
moving forward
If the image above looks unfamiliar to
you, odds are you haven’t visited our new
website yet.
About six weeks ago, we launched a new
website at http://tsumc.org. Up until now, the
new site and the old have both been up and
running. However, very soon the old site and
old blog will both disappear.
The new website offers a few new
features with many more in the works. For
starters, our church calendar, church
newsletter, the blog, and the podcast are now
fully integrated to the website. That means
when you visit those sections of our website,
the navigation bar on the top will remain.
Our blog now includes a special feature
which makes reading the Bible on-line easy
and enjoyable. Simply check out the Tyler
Street Almanac posts which are published
every Monday. There you will find daily
Bible readings for the week.
In addition to changes on the church
website, we are in the midst of improving
the sound quality of our sermon podcasts.
Here in the next few weeks, we will be
posting crisp, clean, cd-quality digital
recordings of every Sunday’s message- no
more hisses and pops of the old audio
cassette technology we’ve used in the past.
Our goal is to create a radio broadcast
quality program you can download into an
mp3 player or burn to a cd so you can share
it with friends.
There are more new features in the works,
and we are always open to suggestions,
feedback, and even tech-savvy volunteers
who want to help our digital ministry efforts!

Bread and Cup – Body and Blood, part 1
Ed Lantz
Senior Pastor
“The story is told of a little girl whose
parents had taken her forward to receive
Holy Communion. Disappointed with the
small piece of bread she was given to dip
in the cup, the child cried loudly, ‘I want
more.’ (This Holy Mystery: A United
Methodist Understanding of Holy
Communion, 1)
Back “I want more” expresses my own
feelings about Holy Communion. Over
to the past few years I have come to desire a
School richer understanding of the sacrament. I

Bash! about this sacred meal.
As I write this article, I’m thinking
about this coming Sunday’s worship on
September 5. In particular I’m thinking
about Tyler Street’s sanctuary. The
stained glass, magnificent dome, high
ceiling, dark wood and pipe organ are
strikingly beautiful. Yet my attention is
really toward its design of the chancel
area. Two things stand out for me: The
pulpit and the communion rail. The
center pulpit clearly declares the
importance of the preached Word. At the
same time, our communion rail has a very
strong declarative presence, too. It
proclaims the importance of Christ’s body
and blood. Tyler Street believes as the
Church has believed through the
centuries: God speaks to us both through
the sermon and the sacrament. Kenneth
Grider says, “The sacraments are like
poetry, whereas preaching is similar to
prose….What preaching declares, the

Youth Mission Trip 2010 – an exercise in humility
I won’t lie. We teenagers become stuck
up. Especially as a senior in high school, I
tend to take a “been there, done that
approach.” This year’s Missions Trip
brought me down to earth and taught me that
I’m not the best yard worker. Need to learn
how to work an edger? Don’t ask me. Need
someone to drive a four wheeler? I can’t
drive a stick shift.
This year, our youth group traveled to
Mabank, Texas and helped a woman who
could no longer handle the arduous yard
work and was literally losing her house to
the wilderness. Alex Pinkerton pulled weeds,
Vanessa Ray and Jacob Bruner painted her
deck and the rest of us mowed, edged,
moved brush and trimmed trees.
Mrs. Nash has a combination of
fibromyalgia and the beginning stages of
lupus which make any work outside difficult.
Despite the troubling circumstances, she
brightened each of our days with the offer of
air conditioning and popsicles.
Her brightness and the continual patience
and hard work of Pepa, Mattie Farrer’s
grandpa, lightened our moods and taught us
all a lesson in hard work and country living.
This year’s Missions Trip almost wasn’t a
reality as plan after plan fell through. Many
of us couldn’t shake the feeling of futility in
our work and that this trip wouldn’t be a
Sage Advice: From someone who has been there, done that!
By Tom Young
Mary’s refrigerator was often a source of
inspiration for jump-starting our days. This
magnetic message that she once posted there
said a lot: “When you get to the end of your
rope, tie a knot and hang on!”
That is not a complex idea. In fact, it might
be too simple for some: “Life is too tough to
be solved with maxims,” they would say. Like
when you are…losing a loved one, especially
a spouse, through illness or accident, confront-
ing retirement long before you are ready for
it, suffering loss of your job or a set-back in
your business, watching helplessly as a child’s
life ebbs away, facing the prospect of living
with an incurable disease.
I recently finished reading a book written
by a black minister who was once an NFL foot-
ball player. He had everything going for
him…until he was diagnosed with cancer.
Rather than let it defeat him he tied the cancer

success, but our youth director, Jon Farrer,
shared a passage from Corinthians.
“Therefore, my dear brother, stand firm.
Let nothing move you. Always give
yourselves fully to the work of the Lord,
because you know that your labor in the
in a knot and hung on with renewed determi-
nation. His book is all about hope, and hold-
ing onto life, and how he is doing it.
This article from Guideposts tells a similar
story. Linda Down from New York City was
born with cerebral palsy. To get around she
had to use aluminum crutches. Overweight and
depressed she began to read the Bible. One
day while reading Job she had a strange inspi-
ration: “I am going to run the New York Mara-
thon!”
She started training, often running at night
to avoid the curious stares. Her determination
kept her going. Her faith gave her strength.
She tied the knot! By some miracle she was
accepted along with 16,000 others to run the
marathon. On the day of the race she was
grouped with other handicapped runners near
the rear, and soon she was running with her
crutches all alone. The crowds began to cheer

Lord is not in vain.” – Corinthians 15:58

willing helpers, or his most able, but when we

show us what to do, every act will bear fruit.

her. When she reached the finish line they were
taking it down but she finished just before the
deadline.
Linda was the first person ever to finish the
marathon on crutches. She was invited to the
Whitehouse with the winners to meet Presi-
dent Reagan. She was named Athlete of the
Year by the United Cerebral Palsy Association,
and went on to work for the United Way, en-
couraging other handicapped persons to run.
It is not what life does to us that matters
ultimately. It is rather what we do with the life
we receive. When life is at its toughest it is the
knot of faith that we tie that gives us some-
thing to hold onto…and go on with living!
An elderly minister I once heard about of-
ten encouraged his parishioners with Galatians
6:9, which he translated simply as: “Hangeth
in there!” Check it out.

ANNIVERSARY Class opened on Aug. 1 by singing
“Rock of Ages’ led by Nina, followed by prayer given
by Buddy Holley. We sang happy birthday to Chastine.
A beautiful devotion was given by Kathryn Brooks
accompanied by Mary Anne Montgomery. Estelle
Holley brought a great lesson on “Angels--where
Angels Walk.” Refreshments brought by Estelle and
Buddy Holley. Class opened on Aug. 7 by singing
“Rock of Ages,” followed by Chastine Wieting giving
the prayer. Happy birthday to John Skinner. Carla Boss
brought our devotion on prayer and how we feel when
we don’t think our prayer has been answered. Thank
you Carla. Richard Phillips brought our lesson on
“Investing in Our Relationships.” It was very much
like “Do unto others as you would have them do unto
you.” Class opened on Aug. 15 by singing “Tell Me
the Story of Jesus” led by Nina. Prayer given by
Maxine Peterson. Pat Whiteley made an
announcement about the course “Experiencing God”
for 13 weeks. Nina Worthy brought our devotion.
Thank you. Mary Margaret Roberson’s lesson was
about the Spafford Family. The hymn “It Is Well with
My Soul” is known today from this family. Great
lesson. Maxine Peterson brought our refreshments.
Class opened on Aug. 22 by singing “The Church’s
One Foundation” led by Nina Wakefield. Prayer by
Dorothy West. Mary Kathryn Skinner sang a beautiful
devotional hymn, “Amazing Grace.” Thank you so
much. Happy birthday to Nina. Patsy Thompson
brought our lesson on “The Reason for Everything.”
Thank you. Refreshments brought by Dorothy West.
Class opened on Aug. 29 by singing “Blessed
Assurance, Jesus Is Mine.” Cindy Felts gave the prayer.
Cindy sang a beautiful devotional hymn. Buddy Holley
brought our lesson on “He Has the Whole World in
His Hands.” Great lesson. Carol Bilz brought
refreshments.
CHALLENGE On August 8, Pat Whiteley shared
with us from chapter 3 of Revelation about the letters
to the churches. On the outside, the churches looked
alive, but in reality they were dead. These letters are
applicable to us in the church today. The letters report
on the problems in the churches along with the good
things they are doing. In each case, Jesus gives a wake-
up call. We need to listen and repent. There is still
work for us to do—we need to overcome. God is our
advocate and will reward us for our perseverance in
doing His work. On August 15, Jere Thompson
presented the second half of his lesson on the judgment
seat of God. The time will come when each of us will
stand before God and give an account of our life here
on earth—our motives as well as our deeds. As
Christians, this judgment does not affect our salvation,
but it will make a difference in the rewards we receive.
We are each given different abilities and capabilities.
We will be judged on how we use the opportunities
and gifts God gives to us. We will be rewarded for
our faithful service (our works that are pleasing and
acceptable to Him), for telling others the Good News,
and for our surrender to the control of the Holy Spirit.
We do not earn these rewards. The crowns that we
will receive are given only by God’s grace and mercy.
Jim Gettman taught our class on August 22 about
hearing and living the truth of God. Jesus said “Do
not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did
not come to bring peace but a sword.” (Matt. 10:34)
The scribes and Pharisees of Jesus’ time did not
understand Him. They were steeped in tradition and,
when Jesus challenged their ways, they did not want to
hear the truth. They were seeking food which perishes,
but not the food that endures to everlasting life. (John
6:26-27) As Christians, we need to be bold and stand on
Monthly news at Tyler Street United Methodist Church

God’s truth regardless of the consequences. Knowing our
mission will help us to stay focused.
COVENANT August 8, many thanks to Jere Thompson
for his lesson this morning on being ready for “the
judgment seat of Christ.” We are called to relinquish
control of our lives, to completely surrender to God. That
complete surrender will be used to the place of holiness
where God wants us to be. Thanks to Jim Bayless for his
lesson today, Aug. 15, which introduced his topic for
next week — dealing with conflict. Do you avoid conflict
at all costs? Or do you tend to be aggressive in dealing
with conflict? Neither is the correct approach. Jim will
lead us in exploring what scripture says on this subject.
We said good-bye to Micah, who leaves for his great
northern adventure at the University of Michigan this
week. Happy belated 60th birthday to Ed Logan. Happy
September birthday to Mike and Melissa Vrabel. See you
next week! Jim Bayless continued the teaching series on
forgiveness. It is commanded by Jesus. Our worship is
hindered by unforgiveness. Forgiveness is not only a
priority, it is urgent. He referenced the book Amish
Grace: How Forgiveness Transcended Tragedy, and
Matt 5:23-24, 43-45, Mark 11:25, Hosea 6:6, and
Matthew 9:13 “I desire mercy, not sacrifice.” Jesus’ clear
teaching is that we must not put off forgiveness unless
we want to halt our relationship with God. Thank you,
Jim, for a very timely message. Congratulations to Robert
Brooks who has a new grandson, Sebastian.
KOINONOI We have had a noteworthy summer with
the Egger wedding in July and our class party the night
of the churchwide Back to School bash. We have
continued to pray for all our members who are shut in or
caregivers as their times can be tough. We are happy to
welcome others to listen to Wilson Marime Sept. 12th
in Yeats during Sunday School. We have enjoyed all of
our teachers of the last few month.
TWO BY TWO Jere Thompson taught another good
less on Aug. 1. Thank you, Jere, for your faithfulness
and for blessing us. We say good-bye to one of our star
members, Will Philcox. He served this church and the
Two by Two Class well. He has been on the Church
Council, our president and vice president and has been
on many committees. We grieve with Blanche and the
family. Keep them in your prayers. It was good to see
Gail King and many former members of our class at
Will’s service. Mary Lee Miller gave a beautiful prayer
lifting up the Philcox family. On Aug. 8, Jim Gettman
taught a lesson about Christ rebuking his disciples. He
referred to John 6:26 and Matt. 26. No one likes
confrontations. But when we encounter evil we must
confront it. Remember this: “telling the truth doesn’t
guarantee victory.” Jesus said, “If you hold to my
teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know
the truth and the truth will set you free.” Jim shared a
most interesting story with us. He had attended a business
seminar. One of the main speakers was from China where
he had been an economic leader. China sent him a few
years ago to the US to find out why our economic system
is so successful. He said after much observation and
studying our methods, he said he thought it was because
of Christianity in our country. Well, he became a
Christian! Isn’t that just remarkable? On Aug. 8, Lucy
Lindholm gave a report about her mission to Peru. She
said she knew the class was praying for her and the
workers because things just kept falling into place. I
know the Lord is saying, “well done thy good and faithful
servant.” Translating the scriptures into their native
language has been a monumental job. Hours and hours,
day and months, years even years went into this work.
Praise the Lord for Lucy and her team. Don Lindholm
gave our lesson on Aug. 15. He shared with us from Psalm
143. Good lesson, Don. We welcomed our visitor, Mary,
www.tsumc.org
whom Shirley Jackson brought. On Aug. 22, Pat
Whiteley taught from Exodus 2 and 3. Moses said he
couldn’t do what the Lord was calling him to do. But
he did! And what a leader he was. When the Lord calls
on you, step out. JoAnn Schroeder’s lesson on Aug.
29 was about her visit to Greece and Ephesus. She
saw where Mary lived the last days of her life and she
saw places where Paul preached--Acts 18-19.
WEDDING RING Aug. 1, thanks Keum Hwang,
our music director, for playing the piano while we sang
“Take Time to be Holy” and “Stand Up For Jesus.”
Herby had a beautiful devotion from John 10 1-18.
Frank gave the prayer. Ace’s lesson was from Acts 15.
Evelyn reported that Mary Lu was still in treatment,
that her sister was visiting. Ed is doing somewhat
better. Emerson is in the hospital and Maurine’s sister
has been in the hospital. Aug. 8, class opened with
Keum Hwang at the piano and we sang “Blessed
Assurance” followed by “America the Beautiful.” R.E.
and Frank presided. Evelyn gave her report as follows:
Milligan and Marcelle are doing well with the help of
son Scott and his wife, Kathy. Mary Lu is still at
Williamsburg for chemo treatments. Maurine’s sister
is now receiving chemo treatments and needs our
prayers. Good news is Margie got her driver’s license
and was back in class today. Frank then gave our
morning prayer. R.E. gave a cute devotion, “Through
a child’s eyes.” Blessing we receive the way a child
“sees” them. Then Estelle Holley brought another
“Angel Series” with the title “Where Angels Walk.”
We all have angels walking with us to save us from
harm. She closed reading Isaiah 41:10. Also Mary Etta
celebrated her 90th birthday Aug. 7th. Aug. 15, class
opened with Ed Logan at the piano; we surprised him
by making him play “Happy Birthday” and we sang
to Him! (It was 8-14). Then, as he played we sang
“When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder” and “America
the Beautiful.” Evelyn’s report on Mary Lu is she is
now in a wheel chair but still taking chemo. The Austin
Connells: Emerson is doing much better but Eleanor
is to have knee surgery soon. R.E. gave our morning
prayer and followed with reminders of August dates
concerning WWII. (We remember and will never
forget.) Herby then gave a wonderful devotion “Prayers
and People.” Action in heaven begins with prayers on
earth. Frank then brought his great lesson speaking of
Naomi and Ruth and the wonderful things that they
were responsible for. Aug. 22, class opened with
singing Happy Birthday to Mary Etta celebrating her
90th! Then we started class with singing “O Little
Town of Bethlehem” (to fit in with our slide
presentation) followed by “America the Beautiful.”
Evelyn then gave her report. Mary Lu is still at
Williamsburg taking chemo. Keep both in your
prayers. Frank then had our prayer. Mary Etta brought
a devotion titled “Growing Old.” Yes, we are! Joe then
brought his slide presentation on “Churches of the
World.” Churches we were blessed to be able to see
many years ago. We were glad to have Marie Bourell
visiting from Austin. Aug. 29, class opened with Ed
Logan at the piano and we sang “He Lives” followed
with “America the Beautiful.” Evelyn’s report was
Maureen’s sister, Doris Phillips, died 8-28 and Mary
Lu is still at Williamsburg. Our beloved Martha Ann
Thomas died and her service at church was 8-28. Our
sympathy to all. Evelyn’s good news is her grandson
has arrived home from Iran! Frank gave our prayer.
We were blessed to have Aaron and Megan Fenderson
in class to tell us about their missionary calling to go
to the Univ. of Ark. They are with Campus Crusade
for Christ. Megan has been to Thailand twice to tell
them of Christ. We wish them well.

 Have you considered that the decisions students make
during their four years in
college often impact their
next sixty
There are a lot of important decisions being made by
college students these days. Decisions about lifestyles,
friends and careers. Over 90 percent of all Christians
make their decision to trust Christ before the age of 21.
That’s why for almost 60 years Campus Crusade for
Christ has sought to fulfill the Great Commission by
reaching college students, building them in their faith and
sending them out to do the same.

Did you know that there

are 110 million college
students in the world
This influential one percent will be the future leaders of business,
government and communities. And God is bringing an increasing number of
college students into a relationship with Himself. From the university campus a
great force is being raised up and sent out to reach the world for Christ. Megan and Aaron Fenderson
