THE LAMPLIGHTER
July 2016
Volume 24, Issue 7
“To everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven…”
Ecclesiastes 3:1
As I type this on my laptop, I am sitting in my office at Maple Springs UMC,
surrounded by boxes and bulletin drafts for my final Sunday in worship.
Before me sits my well-worn Bible, open to the pages of Ecclesiastes. Like
you, I am going through a season of change.
Our son, Thomas, graduates from Reagan High School and will begin Forsyth Tech later this summer. Our daughter Ellen is now a senior at Salem
College. After four years of ministry together, my husband Jeff and I will
each become senior pastors of wonderful congregations in the same city.
We are overjoyed at all of these events, but we are aware that transitions
like these can be emotional. Yes, I expect to shed a few tears this Sunday
(June 12), just as I expect that some tears will be shed at Ardmore as Pastor Jock says his goodbyes after six meaningful years of ministry among
you.
Just as I am thankful to live in a beautiful state like North Carolina that truly
enjoys four seasons, I am also thankful for the seasons of ministry God has
given me. Over my 27+ years of ministry, I have had the blessings of many
different ministry environments. I enjoy both traditional and contemporary
worship, and I have had the joy of supervising many amazing people in
their ministry work. God has given me the opportunity to make disciples
and to build Christian leaders, and I am so excited about what lies ahead
at Ardmore. I hope to be a part of Ardmore’s ministry for years to come,
as we work together to help the church fulfill not only its commission but
also its full potential for Jesus Christ. I look forward to helping you earnestly
connect with one another and also with your community. I am eager to
listen for God’s voice along with you, and to serve as a faithful shepherd
and leader for you. I will move to the office
on June 28 and will be with you in worship on
July 3. I look forward to sharing my first message with you in worship on July 24, after I
return from a Continuing Education event at
Iona Abbey in Scotland. It will be a privilege
to serve you as your new senior pastor.
Looking Forward,
Pastor Bev Coppley
Connect to God, one another and the world.

From Our Associate Pastor
Happy new year, everyone! Of course I’m
referring to our United Methodist distinction of beginning our clergy appointment year each July 1. Annual Conferences around the world are meeting now,
or have already met and “fixed” their clerical appointments for the upcoming year. Each year our
Western North Carolina Conference holds its Annual
Conference at Lake Junaluska, and a big part of the
week is the fixing of appointments, which is always
the last order of business following Sunday worship.
But the Conference isn’t just about the business of clergy appointments. Every year it revolves
around a theme that’s meant to encourage not only
the clergy but all the members of a congregation.
This year’s theme was “Go Light Your World,” and
Bishop Goodpaster was sure to lift up the many ways
we’re equipped to do just that. On Sunday morning
each member of the congregation was given a miniature flashlight to remind us of this charge. It’s a big
job, but it’s made more manageable by remembering that there are numerous lights out there along
with our own. Even with the bright sunlight through
the windows of Stuart Auditorium on Sunday morning
you could see the flickers from all of our flashlights as
we clicked them on and off. And this reminded me
of the power of many lights shining together.
Our world is changing faster than ever, and
we are in dire need of bright and hopeful light. Residents of Orlando are reeling from the recent terror
attacks in that city. Brussels and Paris will never be the
same following the savage attacks on their citizens.
All over the world, scores of people are going hungry
Thank You
Cheryl and I send our thanks to the
good people of Ardmore Church for
the many expressions of remembrance and gratitude that we have
received as we retire. You have
blessed us immeasurably and we are
truly grateful for each one of
you. Know that you will continue in
our prayers. Again, we ask that you
receive your new Senior Pastor Bev
Coppley with all the love and grace
you have shown us. Turn your eyes
upon our Lord Jesus daily and be the
Body of Christ. Abide in Him and He
will abide in you. God bless and keep
you.
Our love and thanksgiving,
Jock & Cheryl Ollis

and jobless, and struggling to survive in even the
most minimal ways. If ever we needed light, it’s now,
and the light we need is the light of Christ.
It’s true, one candle does a powerful job of
dispelling the darkness, but many candles last much
longer and bring more light. Despite the impending
gloom that perennially threatens the world, we need
to remember – individually, and as a congregation –
that God desires for us to use the spark of grace that
resides within each of us and fan it into a full flame.
God is aware of evil, and even Jesus was attacked
both physically and spiritually. But God also knows
the change we’re capable of making if we empty
ourselves to God’s guidance and let our Christ-lights
shine.
An ancient Greek philosopher once observed, “Nothing endures but change.” I think from
this statement we derive our more modern notion,
“Everything changes, and everything stays the
same.” And that may very well be true. Here at
Ardmore we’ve faced some pretty big changes this
year including pastoral appointments and worship
services. We’ll even receive a new bishop this year!
Yet there are ways in which we haven’t changed at
all. The most important way in which we remain the
same is our dedication to serve God in this place and
in the world, and that’s not only a global commitment but a personal promise we make before our
Creator. This is one light we can’t extinguish.
Shine brightly,
Pastor Lisa

SCHOOL
Children’s Sunday School
has been great in June.
Children are learning all
about Noah’s Ark from the
Deep Blue Kids curriculum
published by Cokesbury®.
Deep Blue integrates Bible
lessons, with different crafts,
music and other hands on
learning ideas along with a
short DVD clip that students
love and look forward to
weekly. Our older students
Pastor Ollis visiting Sunday School; hands on learning with Debbie Williams.
have been combined for the summer (1st-5th grade) and are learning the
same material from Genesis 6-9. Hearing these children read aloud directly
from their Bibles is such a joy.
Our Pre-K students are engaged with play-based learning the first hour on
Sunday morning and then move to the children’s message in worship before
their lessons begin in room 218. We always need additional teachers and
assistants.

Young Adult Bible Study (YABS) and More
In Hebrews 10, beginning at verse 19-25, it reads: “Therefore,
brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most
Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way
opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we
have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to
God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith
brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed pure with water. Let us
hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is
faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up on meeting together…”.
Ardmore’s Young Adults are meeting regularly to study God’s
word, reflect on our lives, fellowship together, support each other
and hold one another accountable to this faith we collectively
profess. Our God is faithful to us and we are committed to being
faithful to Him. Our group has grown overnight with the addition of
three new couples and we would love for you to join us, too. We
meet weekly at 7:00 PM in the Reception room on the second
floor of the main church building each Wednesday. Pictured left is
part of our small group celebrating Gabe Asturias’s birthday.
Upcoming activities for Young Adult Families include: Young Adult
Lunch, July 17 (meal provided for adults) and Young Adult Pool
Party, July 24 from 3:00-5:00 PM, at the home of Steve and Eva
Jane Felts. Pack your swimsuit, towels and any children’s toys your
little ones may want to bring along.

Senior Moments
Welcome to Ardmore UMC, Rev. Bev Coppley, our new Senior Minister.
She is anxious to meet and get to know our Ardmore members. Be sure
to fill out the page about yourself, your interests, your gifts and your life
in the church community, so that she will be able to get to know us
from the beginning. What a positive way to come to a new congregation. I see more good things ahead for us.
It feels like the “lazy, hazy, crazy (and HOT) days” of summer are here.
What happened to spring? It flew by and gave us a few nice days, but
then summer took over. I can’t complain about the heat because
there is a lot to do in the summer. July 4th is always a good time to get
together with friends and family…for fireworks, food…and fun. There
are other things to do this summer. You may have already enjoyed the
“Sounds of the Summer” organ concerts so far. My favorite was the
one at Old Salem with our own Dreama Lovitt playing the Tannenberg
organ. Thank you, Dreama, for representing Ardmore UMC so well with
your musical talents. Old Salem offers band concerts and organ concerts throughout the summer. I enjoy the every other Tuesday evening
band concerts on the “square” at Old Salem. Miller Park and Bethabara Park also have band concerts during the summer…and they are all
free. Be sure to take a lawn chair if you go.
Singing and Dancing with Tom Deaton.
Lake Junaluska was wonderful, as it always is. It is such a serene and
peaceful place, even with all the crowds there. I enjoyed some good
worship services, Lisa Tanico’s Commissioning Service, Pastor Jock’s and
Lisa Wishon’s (formerly at Ardmore UMC) Retirement service…and Pastor Jock spoke eloquently on behalf of the retirees to the new class of
Deacons in Full Connection. The Celebration of Life Service was very
nice and our own Rev. Donald Funderburk was remembered, along
with many others who had passed away during the last year. It was
wonderful to see Marian Funderburk and her family in attendance.
Enjoy the rest of the summer…stay inside on these hot, hot days or go
some place cool, like to a movie…in other words, stay cool. Keep busy
and enjoy what you do. Remember that “every day holds the possibility of a miracle.” (source unknown) And keep in mind that miracles
come in all sizes, shapes and forms.
Love and Peace to All,
Mary Jo

A BIT OF HISTORY: THEN & NOW
Becky Jo Benson, the daughter of Grace Benson, like many
young girls, attended church from the time she was nine years
old. Becky just lived down the street on Lockland Avenue until
leaving for college in 1954.
Becky recalls Sunday school and services here at Ardmore
UMC, as well as “MYF” Methodist Youth Fellowship and snack
suppers prepared by the youths’ mothers. Becky has numerous
fond memories of Ardmore of yesteryear.
After finishing up college, Becky was married on June 8, 1957
by the Reverend A.C. Waggoner to her college sweetheart,
Richard Teague. On June 8, 2016, Mr. and Mrs. Teague hopped
in their car, leaving their current home in Charlotte for a drive
to Winston-Salem. The Teague’s decided to take the day and
reminisce at Ardmore, where they were married fifty-nine years
prior. The Teague’s were tickled to see old portraits in the hallways of beloved pastors, the beautiful stained glass windows,
the magnificent organ and all the other additions Ardmore has
making it different but yet splendid. Moreover, the Teague’s
were thrilled to meet Deb Jandes, our administrative assistant
and myself. We had a lovely time wandering the halls and taking pictures for them to have as new keepsakes.
Ardmore has such a rich history and being able to weave
some of the old with some of the new was heart warming. The
Teague’s hope to visit again soon possibly on a Sunday to enjoy worship with all of us. Thank you for sharing your story with
me and now everyone here at Ardmore. - Nicole Stevens
