Sunday Worship Services
Traditions
This time of worship celebrates our Lord through the rich traditions of the
United Methodist Church and the historic foundations of the Church. This
service utilizes the great hymns of the faith, seasonal vestments, and music
led by the organ and piano. The Traditions worship service is offered at 8:00
and 11:00 am in the Sanctuary. Our Chancel Choir leads in the 11:00 service.
Connect
The 9:30 am worship time is based on a four-fold model using a blend of
contemporary music that includes modern offerings as well as upbeat hymn
arrangements. This model begins with a time of gathering the body in praise,
the service of the Word, a time of thanksgiving (usually communion), and
closes with a dismissal as we seek to make a difference in the world God has
placed us. This ancient-future model is led by the Connect Worship team.
Freedom
Our emergent-style Freedom Service is at 11:07 am in the Family Life Center
Gym. This modern genre utilizes video and drama, as well as modern praise
and worship music in a casual atmosphere. This service is led
by the Freedom band.
Enjoy fellowship, coffee, and breakfast snacks in the Family Life Center
Gym between worship services every Sunday morning.

Philip’s Focus
There is no day in the year like Easter! This is one day when the focus is on
the message of victory and hope in Jesus Christ! I really look forward to
sharing Sunday in this message with you! Last year, I was unable to attend
Easter worship as I became extremely ill the night before. When I missed
Easter, I felt as though my life was “out of kilter.” Ash Wednesday, Lent,
Holy Week, and Good Friday need to conclude with Easter each year! There
is something incomplete about missing Easter.
As I write this focus, I am reminded that everyone needs an Easter! There are
so many people with great struggles in their life that need to know victory.
There are other persons in great pain that need healing and wholeness. Still
there are others living defeated that need to know there is victory. Many
choose despair each day instead of hope. Easter reminds us there is good
news and hope for everyone in Jesus Christ!
We all need to hear that word of hope! A word about abundant life! A word
of eternal life! A word of victory! The message of Jesus’ birth, life, ministry,
suffering, and death is only complete with a resurrection!
May the resurrection of Jesus Christ be good news for all this year! I pray His
hope will overcome any despair in our lives. May all connected with Shalimar
United Methodist Church know the victorious message of Easter! He has risen
indeed! I look forward to saying that good news with you Sunday!
Shalom, Philip

The Next Chapter
“Liminality” has become a buzz word in certain writings about the
Church’s mission over the past few years as the Church reclaims the risky
business of living in the “in-between” time. The word liminality comes
from a Latin word meaning “a threshold.” It’s not an easy place to be
knowing, we are no longer where we were but not yet fully entered the
place we are going. Being comfortable is a symptom that we are in denial
of this reality. In January we ended our first chapter in The Great Story,
our journey through the Bible in 2015, with a man named Joseph as a
foreigner in Egypt. In Exodus 1, we read in just a few verses of how the
people of God increased and were fruitful, but “there arose a king who
did not know Joseph.” This begins a history of wilderness experiences for
the people of God, the life of faith in the desert between pain and
promise.
How marvelous would it be, having just studied Jesus’ Sermon on the
Mount and celebrating the full deliverance and salvation of Easter, to go
back and look at the beginnings of themes like deliverance, law and
morality, sanctification, sacrifice, endurance, trust, redemption, and
victory! As we look back on these early stories of the people of God
through the lens of Jesus Christ we will see how we as the people of God
are still charged with faithful living and risk-taking mission in the time inbetween. One day, we will be living in the Promised Land. What does it
look like in the meantime to lean into that promise and victory,
celebrating that God has called us out of the slavery of our past and that
in God’s economy, promise is always birthed out of pain.
As we begin this next chapter, I invite you to check out our blog at
Biblein2015.com where reading plans and posts are available to help us
along the journey. See you in the desert. And I guarantee you we will find
streams of living water.
Grace and peace,
Pastor Jonathan

Guide for Groups and Individuals
This week we invite you into our new series, “The Desert Between Pain and Promise.”
Part of the Good News of our faith is that from the very beginning, pain is birthed out
of promise. Think about it. What’s the first thing God did after the first two humans
violated God’s parameters for living and ate the fruit, breaking the rules along with
God’s heart? God began restoring and working on His rescue mission. “The Lord God
made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them.” (Genesis 3:21)
God began doing for His creatures what they could not do for themselves, putting
wrong things back to right. God has parameters for how His creatures live. But He is not
about rule-following. He is about love and life. His parameters sustain love and life and
hold evil and pain at bay. When pain and brokenness enter the picture, God responds
with promise – He promises to restore, deliver, and even resurrect, bringing life from
places of death.
Read the Scripture: Exodus 3:1-12
Engage

When God calls out to Moses from within the bush and tells Moses who He is, Moses
responds with what emotion?

How is this similar to how the first humans respond to God’s presence after they
did what He commanded them not to do? Why does this happen?

List the ways God identifies Himself to Moses.

Where is pain in this passage? How does God respond? Be specific.

What promises does God make? Again, be specific.

According to verse 3:12, how are Moses and the people of God to respond when
God fulfills the promise?
Apply

Have you ever had a “burning bush” moment when God came in an unexpected
way? Keep in mind it doesn’t have to be quite so dramatic.

Where do you see yourself in this story? How do you relate in faith and experience?

What reason do you have to worship God? As an act of worship, with your group or
by yourself, make a list of ways God has been a faithful promise-keeper to you.
Then, simply praise Him for who He is and what He’s done.

Easter Poem
It was early morning in the country side.
The women were sad..their Lord had died.
They had waited all night for the break of day
To return to the tomb to kneel and pray.
As they approached the sight they were surprised to see
A stranger there….who could it be?
The tomb….it was open, they ran inside.
Their master was gone. Where is He, they cried?
The stranger approached and to them said….
Don’t look for the living here among the dead.
He has risen….He has risen like He said he would.
They remembered his words, and they understood.
They ran to the village and told the men.
Together they returned to the tomb again…
It is true…he was gone, but He had to, you see,
in order to prepare for you and me.
That was a long time ago in a land far away…
But the glory of the resurrection is with us today.
This Easter morning hear the church bells ring
What Christ did for us was a glorious thing!
He is risen, He is risen, It was true from the start…
There’s no doubt in my mind, There’s no doubt in my heart.
Written by the Lord…recorded by me, Pat VanBlaricum
