THINKING ALOUD
Just in case you haven’t noticed it, we have a lot of
good ministries and activities going on in EBC. As an
example, the weekend of March 22-23 was an incredible one around our campus. Everywhere I looked
there were volunteers working: people were decorating the sanctuary for our Holy Week Musical and Palm
Sunday and still others were working on the exterior
lighting. Kelley and the Children’s Ministry team
were preparing for the Easter Egg Hunt. Others were
assisting the landscaping crew as they completed redoing the front yard. As this was going on here,
out “there” members were visiting the hospitals and
shut-ins and others from the Andrew Ministry were
contacting prospects.
All of this activity is not just activity for activity’s
sake. All of it is designed to enhance our worship so
as to allow us to grow in our faith and relationship
with our Lord. A neat, well-groomed facility says to
the world that we are proud of our Lord and His
church. An active, serving congregation says that we
love our Lord and wish to share that love with others.
Both are vital to our ministry in the world.
If I started listing everyone’s name, I would omit some
and inadvertently offend them. I do wish to thank
John Foster (he will fuss at me for this) for his wonderful donation of time, materials, and crew – they did far
more than we paid them for, I can assure you. The
monies for this project came from Memorials that had
been given through the years and were released by the
families to pay for this project.
VOLUME XLII, ISSUE 04
Dr. Bob Ferguson
When we finish with this and some sanctuary renovations (new windows) we will have a dedication Sunday
and properly thank all of these for their donations to
keep our facilities maintained as they ought to be.
One “secret” we have discovered in all of this: when
Christians are working, giving, and serving – their joy
becomes contagious. When we take the focus off ourselves and put it onto our Lord and others, it is amazing how excited, joyful, and peaceful we become. Because of your joy and excitement, every week new
people show up and say, “I’ve heard good things about
your church and wanted to know more.” Thanks for
being a congregation which shares such joy and enthusiasm with others!
See you Sunday as we celebrate the Risen Christ.
WELCOME NEW MEMBERS
So we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually we are members one of another.

C H I L D R E N ’ S C H AT T E R
Well….I can honestly say that it was a first – hunting
Easter Eggs while dodging sleet and snowflakes, that
is! The cold, grey skies did nothing to diminish the
enthusiasm however, and we had a terrific turnout for
our annual Easter Egg Hunt. For some of the kids, it
was their first EBC outdoor hunt, seeing as how we
have been forced indoors for the last 3 years due to
torrential rain and mud! Games were played, crafts
were made, snack was consumed and not one of the
over 2,000 eggs was left. For some, playing with the
giant bubble wands proved even more enticing than
the eggs, and there were cries of “more bubbles” as
some of the young friends were taken to their cars! It
was an amazing thing, to see all of the EBC babies –
none of whom were walking for last years event – carrying their baskets, running from egg to egg, plopping
down on the cold ground to open each egg…I’ve said
it before, but I’ll say it again – they grow SO fast!
We all enjoy seeing how wonderfully our children are
growing – in appearance, in abilities, emotionally, and
spiritually. To that end, we have a couple of big events
coming up that target the furthering of spiritual growth.

On May 17-19 we will embark on our 4th and 5th
grade Faith Building Retreat. This year we will
head to Camp Caraway for a weekend of study,
fellowship and fun.
Vacation Bible School will be June 23-26, and
will be a terrific week for all – age 4 through 5th
grade. As always, I am making lists and taking
names – for volunteers! If you would like to be involved in this year’s Bible School, please let me
know – there is a job for everybody, and in serving,
you will bless as you are blessed.
“Start children off on the way they should go,
and even when they are old,
they will not turn from it.”

WOMEN OF THE ‘WOOD
We had a great group of women crowded who got
together on Palm Sunday afternoon and learned
how to make their own greeting cards. There were
papers, and decorations, and glue sticks, and scissors, and stamps, and stamp pads, and a hair dryer,
and chalk powder ...and lots of laughing women
with inky fingers. Judy Patterson and Rachel
Young planned a fascinating afternoon, with a
beautiful floor-sized display and lots of sample
cards. (I think they are professionals!) They provided materials for every person to make 10 cards
in the two hours. (I failed to complete the task!)
Allie Blosser brought a huge bin filled with dozens
of stamps and embossing materials; then she
taught us how to emboss and shared a beautiful
testimony.
Anne Marie
Trammel and Whitney Aiken
hauled their boxes of stamping supplies and ink pads
through the rain to share
more fun. We had lots of
experts to help all of the
rookies, so everyone had a great time and went
home with a handful of beautiful handmade cards.
Yes….anyone can do this...or at least have fun
trying!
OXFORD HOUSE MISSIONS
Cleaning and laundry supplies
You may bring items to any meeting
or drop off at the church office during the month.
Oxford House is a home for women in transition
learning to live independently.
MEALS MADE EASY!
Meal planning is hard, especially
when you are juggling multiple
responsibilities--family, work,
church and school activities. Often
we are tempted to order pizza or go
through a drive-thru. Freezer meals
are a great option for busy days, saves you money
and allows you to serve a nutritious meal to your
family!
We'd like to start several small groups for a freezer
meal swap. If you are interested, you will be put in
a group of 4 or 5 other participants. You will
choose a recipe each month to make, such as a
soup, casserole, crock pot meal, etc. and you will
make 4 or 5 batches of that recipe, one for each
member of your group. We will meet for fellowship one night a month, and be sure to bring your
cooler, because you will go home with 4 or 5 meals
for that month. Dietary restrictions and allergies
will need to be considered.
If interested, please contact Anne Marie Trammell
(AMKTram@gmail.com) so we can gauge interest
and set up a planning meeting. Let's get started!
Sunday, May 5

MISSIONS
‘But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you;
and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.’
The Missions Team recently met to disburse your
tithes and offerings to ministries all across the
neighborhood and community. Emerywood members are making a huge contribution to serving the
poorest and the most neglected in the name of
Jesus. The Team also discussed plans for a churchwide mission project in the fall of 2013. This will
be an exciting opportunity for every member of our
family of faith, involving every kind of help from
medical/dental to construction and everything
in-between!

Thank You!
Grazie! Arigato! Dankeschön!
March winds blew into Emerywood with shamrocks, pine needles, and Easter Eggs. The breezes carried pledge
cards and Generosity Stories, devotional guides and prayer buddies. Finally they settled with “Joy Comes in the
Morning” and “The Way of the Cross” prayer pilgrimage on Good Friday, all in a beautiful Sanctuary! None of these
interesting and challenging opportunities happened on their own! So, on behalf of the entire membership, I thank you
all for making March such a meaningful and marvelous month as we journey to “Gloria” on Easter Sunday.
Throughout this newsletter, you will be reading about members who have made a huge difference in our family of
faith. If I missed someone, PLEASE contact me as soon as you can. It is a complete oversight.
Speaking of the Sanctuary, it was amazing... a unique and beautiful arrangement. Special thanks to all who worked to prepare the beautiful and worshipful
setting for Lent, Holy Week and Easter with the crosses in the windows, the
stunning transformation of the sanctuary into Jerusalem and the lily display:
Tricia Bauman, Vicki Davis, Myra Brown, Martha Roberts, Susan Morris,
Brenda Mizelle, Lynn Walser, Kathy Bull, Jane Cox, Edna Rose Guy and
Carolyn Brookshire.
Special thanks to our Deacons who so faithfully served in delivering stewardship
boxes and then guided the “Way of the Cross” prayer opportunity on Good Friday;
to every member who returned a pledge card, with or without a generosity story;
to every member who shared a story of generosity; to Lisa Bishop for coordinating and producing Holy Week Devotional Guides; to Nancy Wallace for editing the guide; to Doris Stocks for leading Intercessory Prayer this month and
to Lamar King for leading our Sunday Evening Walk through the Bible; to all those who served us supper on
Wednesday nights, including the faithful Dee Parrish and Jerry Byrd; to those who taught our Special Needs class in
Sunday School; to those who filled in a gap and took care of our Sunday Snacks for the month of March; to those
who helped the youth with the pine straw delivery and those who are helping to plan the auction in May. We also
thank Ricky Dowdy, who cheerfully helps Glen (or anyone) to move, set-up, take down, paint, haul and do any number of things around the building and beyond. The outcome is always good. Volunteers from the House of Prayer,
unnamed church members who like to be anonymous, and countless others have made huge contributions to all of us
at Emerywood.
In the meantime, lots of our ministry teams are meeting and re-vitalizing ministries in every area. Surely every single member of Emerywood must be serving our church family in different ways.
Maybe you are wondering . . . “Why do we need any paid folks with all of these volunteers?” Good question!
Church doesn’t really “happen” by staff only. It’s not possible...because we are a FAMILY of faith. We BECOME
church as everyone has a place and contributes their talents and gifts. The “whole” is a very beautiful miracle.
THANK YOU for contributing yourself to the beautiful miracle that happened at Emerywood in March!
