New Salem is interested In spreading God's word'

tßy CARLA GAFF Staff Writer Spreading the word of the Lord is not something which can be done successfully year after year by one person, but rather is something that needs the support of entire congregations. “The church has always been missionary minded,” explained Leola Plank, co-chairman of the missionary committee at the New Salem Church of the Brethren. “We’ve supported missionaries, as well as the Missionary Press, New Tribes Missions, Spanish World Missions, Gideons and a number of others, for about as long as the church has been here.” She went on to say that the church primarily supports four missionaries at this time, and that most of them are from the local church congregation. She commented that most of them have parents and family who still attend the Milford church. New Salem started supporting

Catherine Froh in Haiti many years ago through one of the Sunday school classes. Then in 1973 the congregation started supporting Doug Shively in Longview, Texas. Shively attended the Milford church until he began serving on the Missionary Tech Team in Texas. Shively is a home grown missionary. Doug Schermerhorn left for Panama approximately 10 years ago, and as he also was a Milford parishioner, the church also began supporting him in his endeavors. Randy and Adena Wildman are the newest missionaries being supported by the church. The couple is working in the field in Liberia. “These are persons from our church who have gone out in the field,” commented Leola, “we have supported them since they started their endeavors and plan to continue.” Leola and her husband, John, have been on the missionaries committee for a number of years and were nominated co-chairmen for the 1987-88 fiscal year. “We have a special interest in

all of these because they’re a part of the church family and are one of us,” commented Leola. “We’re interested in spreading God’s word.” The Milford church helps in the missionary field not only by financially supporting a number of missionaries but also by giving physically. The members were involved in helping put literature together at the Missionary Press when it began in Winona and have continued now that the press is in New Paris. Additionally, they have had a number of members involved in the Gideons and have been a part of getting Bibles sent to various places in the United States and abroad. The church has also entertained a variety of Gideon speakers, and has helped out in the Gideon work as much as possible. Recently the church has gone through some rather rough times, and though they have suffered a bit financially, Leola stated, “we're going to keep on going and continue supporting the missionaries to the best of our ability.”

the countries. Many local congregations are focusing on special needs such as textbooks and school supplies. Carol Rhodes, missions chairman at North Webster United Methodist Church, said tjiat 18 boxes of school textbooks, nursing books, three typewriters and money will be taken to Ligonier UMC for delivery to the rally. She said, “this is only the beginning.” The project also includes sending short-term missionaries, in addition to work teams which will undertake specific projects in school construction and refurbishing. The first work teams will leave early in 1988 Church officials have not put a specific dollar figure on the undertaking, but donated services, supplies and funds are expected to total well into the millions over the project’s fiveyear life span.

,1 ! HL circuit ■ g B IrSi * IDE ' ■ ■MMREADY FOR CIRCUIT RIDE — North Webster United Methodist Church pastor O. Rex Lindemood, left; Laurie Smith, publicity director; and Jim Hormann, administrative assistant for the church’s circuit ride campaign, have their attire all ready for the church’s circuit ride program which will begin on Sunday, Oct. 11.

Stewardship circuit ride to be held at North Webster

Members of the North Webster United Methodist Church will reenact a part of their history in coming days as they become “circuit riders’’ in their own neighborhoods. Rev. O. Rex Lindemood, pastor, explained that the church is using the Circuit Ride Stewardship Plan to learn of members’ planned support of the church’s proposed program and budget for the coming year. “This will be a genuinely exciting event,” Rev. Lindemood said. “It ties in nicely with our denomination’s celebration of Methodism in America. Two hundred years ago, at the so-called Christmas Conference in Baltimore, Md, 60 Methodist preachers came together to decide a form of church government, choose general superintendents and re commit themselves to ‘reform the continent and spread scriptural holiness over these lands.” “Just as the early day Methodist preachers on horseback rode from outpost to outpost on a frontier ‘circuit’ to spread the gospel, our people will ‘ride’ from place to place to share the good news and strengthen the church?\ The pasior said that starting on Sunday, Oct 11, church members will take turns relaying a

stewardship saddlebag from home to home on a neighborhood circuit of ten families each. A family fills in an “estimate of giving” card, seals it in an envelope and inserts it in the saddlebag, which is then handcarried to another family. “With this program there is no solicitation of ‘pledges’ and no ‘hard-sell’ to obtain financial support for the church,” the pastor said. “Each family simply decides in the privacy of its home the amount of its ‘estimated’ giving during the next year without any over-the-shoulder ‘supervision’ by a church official.” Prior to the kick-off of the saddlebag relay, the church’s adults, youth and elementary age children will engage in studies of Christian stewardship. Bashor Home meeting set Bashor Home Auxiliary will meet on Monday, Oct. 12, at Arbogast Center, Bashor Home, in Goshen. Ladies of Milford United Methodist Church will serve coffee at 9.15 am. The program will be given by Nancy Munch, director of food services for Bashor Home.
