INTERESTED IN JOINING THE CHURCH?
Are you interested in becoming a member of the Eagle United Methodist Church? Your next opportunity will be on Sunday, February 22nd. If you would like to join or have questions about
what it means to join the Methodist Church, please call the church office at 939-0108.
The most important event in history was the death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ. We remember and celebrate Christ's victory over sin and death every Easter. Easter is so
important to the church that we have a period of time called Lent to prepare for it.
Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, February 18th. At 7pm, we have a very special service of
repentance where we write down our sins and nail them to the cross. Later we take down the
sins, burn them and then use them to make the mark of the cross that is traditional for worshipers to receive on Ash Wednesday.
Many people find this to be one of the most meaningful services we do all year. Please plan to
join us for this celebration of the grace and forgiveness of God.
WORDS FROM PASTOR JOHN
WORSHIP THEMES
FOR FEBRUARY
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 1
HOLY COMMUNION
"The Spirit Expands Our Horizons"
Acts 10:44-48
There are always people whom we
would want to exclude from the church.
The Spirit always reminds us that God
welcomes everyone.
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 8
"The Believers Who Did Not Have
Enough" Acts 19:1-7
Several times in the book of Acts we
discover believers who are missing out
on the fullness of the faith.
Are any of us in that same place?
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 15
"Unity, Diversity and Truth"
Ephesians 4:1-16
The Holy Spirit brings many gifts to the
church. Unity, power, presence, diversity
& truth are some of the most important.
ASH WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 18
"Hidden With Christ"
Colossians 3:1-17
We are becoming something beautiful in
Christ. Therefore we should die to sin
that we might rise anew in Christ.
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 22
HOLY COMMUNION
Dear Friends,
We will soon be entering the
season of Lent. Lent is the
time of preparation before
Easter. It is 40 days long,
symbolically reminding us
of the 40 days Jesus spent in
the wilderness preparing for
His ministry. It is traditionally a time for Christians to
devote themselves more
completely to Christ; a time
for prayer, for study, for
worship and for sacrifice.
Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, February 18th. Our church holds a special
service every Ash Wednesday and for
many people this is their favorite and
most meaningful worship service of
the year. During our worship we remember the meaning and power of
Christ’s death and take time to reflect
upon our sins. We write our sins
down on cards, pray over them and
ask for Christ’s grace to remove them
from our lives. Then we nail them to
the cross, remembering that Jesus
died for our sins that we might be free
in Him.
ashes are mixed with olive
oil and then applied to our
foreheads. Marked by the
sign of the cross, the sign of
our forgiveness and belief in
our Lord, we leave the
church bearing this symbol
as a witness to our commitment to Christ. It is a great
and powerful way to start
the season.
Lent is also a wonderful time
to get involved in a small
group. This year during Lent
our small groups will be studying Adam Hamilton’s book “24
Hours That Changed The World”. As the
title suggests, it will focus on the last
24 hours of Jesus’ life and His sacrifice
on the cross. We have read and enjoyed Hamilton’s books before and
this will be a meaningful study as
well. If you have never before been a
part of a small group before, why not
use the Lenten season as an opportunity to start a new spiritual tradition. It is a great time to grow.
See you in church.
God Bless,
Once nailed to the cross, our sins are
then taken down and burned. The
"The Last Supper"
Mark 14:17-25
Christ shared a holy meal that has the
power to make us all holy.
Beginning Sunday, Feb. 22nd
During Lent, we like to publish a wish list. There are items
that the church could really use but are not included in our
budget. These will help us to do better lead our children and
adults in Sunday School and Small Groups. We invite you to
look over this list and see if there is anything you would like
to donate to our church. Thank you for your consideration.

Trebelle, a local piano trio made up of Jennifer Dunn (violin), Heidi
Nagel (cello), and Robyn Wells (piano) first debuted in 2012, and has
been giving annual concert series since. The three ladies are professional musicians who collaborate to perform music of every era and
style, with power and grace. The program for 2015 is made up of
“The Four Seasons” by Rick Sowash, an American composer who, in
this piece, portrays the turning of the seasons in his hometown of
Bellville, Ohio; Piano Trio No. 2 in G minor by Antonin Dvorak; and
Allegretto for Piano Trio by Beethoven. The three pieces are diverse
in style, though all are poetic and strong in their interplay of all three
instruments.
Trebelle is scheduled to perform at the EUMC on Sunday,
February 22, 2015, at 3pm. Admission is free and a free-will offering will be accepted.

Sanctuary
Adult Sunday School Class This class meets on Sundays at

“The Jesus I Never Knew” explores
the life of Jesus as he traveled and
taught. We will look at three fundamental questions: who Jesus was, why
he came, and what he left behind. Step
by step, scene by scene, Yancey probes
the culture into which Jesus was born
and grew to adulthood; his character
and mission; his teachings and miracles; his legacy--not just as history has
told it, but as he himself intended it to
be. Room 201

WORDS FOR THE WALK
The idea of writing down our faith experience is as old as
the Gospels, or the Epistles to be exact. But it does not end
there. We each experience God differently and we do it all
the time through many different stages in our lives. This
Small Group is forming to put those experiences on paper
as people of faith have been doing through the centuries in
prayer, prose and poetry. You do not have to know how to
write, you just have to know God. The class meets each
Monday at 7pm.
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
STAFFING CHANGES AT EUMC
A NOTE FROM SUSAN CHENEY
In February 1998, God led me to Eagle
United Methodist Church as I was going through a difficult divorce. A year
before a friend had asked me if I would
accompany her church choir but I was
too busy. Now I wanted to move forward with my life and play the piano
and organ again. I asked my friend if
they still needed an accompanist. She
checked with the choir director at the
time, and he said “Yes!” At first I only
accompanied the choir and I was rusty
on the piano but the choir was thrilled
to have a live accompanist instead of
singing to recordings.
The first couple Sundays I left right
after the choir sang. Then I stayed for
one of Pastor John’s Bible Hours and
decided to stay for the whole service to
hear his sermon. One Sunday after a
challenging hymn sing, Carolyn
Stovall and Janet Marshall asked if I
would please play the hymns on the
organ and that’s how I started playing
for worship services at Eagle United
Methodist Church. Seventeen years
later I have grown in my faith through
small group Bible studies and can now
read a chord chart, play handbells and
even fiddle!
Lately I have been thinking about stepping down from music ministry because I haven’t wanted to play the piano or organ. Sunday mornings I’m
focused on what’s coming next in the
worship service instead of God. I
shared this with Pastor John before
Christmas and he recommended I take
some time off to recharge, a three
month sabbatical.
During March, April and May I will be
taking a break from playing for rehearsals Thursday nights and worship
Sunday mornings. During the three
months you won’t see my face Sunday
mornings as I will be visiting other
churches in the valley and experiencing their style of music. I appreciate
that Karen Grindle will accompany the
choir and play the organ while I’m
gone. I will still attend and lead the
other groups I’m involved in at the
church. I have gone from feeling that I
didn’t want to play any more before I
talked with Pastor John to being excited about the opportunity to experience
different worship services and focus
wholly on worshipping God Sunday
mornings. My last Sunday is February
22nd. On Sunday, June 7th, I’ll be back
at the piano and organ for worship,
hopefully recharged and once again
accompanying your voices in singing
that delights and praises our God!

REACHING THOSE IN NEED
COVERED IN PRAYER
Covered in Prayer had their first meeting on January 14th and enjoyed getting
to know each other. The group will continue to meet the second Wednesday of
each month from 10:00 am to noon in
Room 201 at the church to work on the
following projects:
quilt for neonatal intensive care units
to give a mother whose baby is dying.
 Tie fleece blankets to give to organizations to provide to children and others
in a time of crisis. This is a “no sewing
required” project! Needs only 1 ½
yards of fleece, scissors and a ruler.
 Sew 150 Hope Bags (see picture) for
the Operation Shoebox packing party
in November.
 Quilt 30 prayer squares for the #4
Kairos Outside retreat being held at
our church this spring and 150 prayer
squares for the Operation Shoebox
packing party in November.
 Quilt fleece blankets for newborns in
our church family.
 Quilt a receiving blanket and keepsake
Instructions for the Hope Bags and other
patterns are available at the “Wrapped
and Covered in Prayer” display in the
lobby of the church. If you would like to
support this ministry, here’s how:
 Give a check to the church with
“Covered in Prayer” in the memo area.
 Buy 100% cotton fabric in child friendly prints for the Hope Bags. It takes ½
yard to make one bag.
 Buy two pieces of fleece that are one
1 ½ yards each. The two pieces will be
tied together to make one blanket.
If you would like to join the group or
have questions, please contact Susan
Cheney at (208) 853-8906 or by email at
[email protected].
WRAPPED IN PRAYER
A milestone has been reached for
Wrapped in Prayer – the 105th prayer
shawl has been given away! God has
also blessed our group with a large donation for purchasing yarn. The picture
on the right is the first purchase with
part of the donation – enough yarn for 25
shawls. Wrapped in Prayer will meet on
February 4th and 18th from 10:00 am to
noon in Room 201 at the church. Please
come join us if you are interested in being part of this rewarding ministry!
Thank you sent to a church member who
gave a shawl to a friend with terminal
cancer: Please convey my thanks to your
whole church membership – I am enjoying
the lovely shawl and the pocket prayer. What
a nice idea to brighten people’s days. God has
given me so many blessings through people
like you. These gestures have meant so much
to me. Thanks to all who have contributed
and thanks, my friend, for thinking of me.
May God bless you all!
Note to Pastor John from woman who
attended our church: Dear Pastor John
and all, I am back in Arizona now and wanted to thank you very much for your many
kindnesses. It was a delight to be in your
church. Many thanks, Beth Rigby. P.S. I am
still enjoying my purple prayer shawl.
A church member gave a shawl and
books on grieving to her sister’s friend
whose mother died suddenly during
cancer treatment: My sister’s friend Suzy
told her that the prayer shawl and Stephen
Ministry books were the most thoughtful and
meaningful gifts that she has received since
her mother’s passing. My sister and Suzy are
so very grateful.
Another thank you from Maria Way’s
friends in Bolivia who are helping with
the Water for Life effort our church supported at Christmas: Maria Tere, I finished distributing “the prayer squares”, have
4 left. All of our friends are very happy! And
we are calling them “trapitios de amor” (love
squares), that is what the little cards say. All
of us are thankful to the pretty Ladies that
made this possible, first because we were
waiting for them, and second because now
we feel that we know them, for what you tell
us. God bless them, and all of their families.
We feel very privileged to have one of the
prayer squares…hugs and kisses. And Merry Christmas, peace and love to you, and to
all of the people at the Church!
On February 15th, the prayer shawls and
wraps will be blessed during worship. If
you or someone you know is going
through a difficult time, please come up
after the service and select one of the
handmade items. Members of Wrapped
in Prayer will be available to help you.
There are also pocket prayers available
in a basket in the lobby.

COULD YOU USE ONE? WOULD YOU BE ONE?
In the church office, we get calls regularly
from people within our congregation who
could use a helping hand with something:
some extra muscle to move a couch, a ride to a
doctor appointment, an able bodied person to
help change a light bulb and more. We also
know that there are many people in our congregation who would be glad to offer help
when they can. This leaves us with a challenge - How do we match needs with willing
people? We have a solution! We call it Helping Hands.
To BE a Helping Hand:
Call the church office and we will sign you up
and contact you when a need arises. Once
you are a member of the Helping Hands
group, you will receive an email whenever a
need is posted. From there, you have the
option to say, "Yes, I will fill this need" or if
the timing, skills required, etc. doesn't work
out for you at that time, simply ignore the
request and trust another member of the
group will meet the need.
If you could USE a Helping Hand:
If you have a need, please contact the church
office to discuss your need and get it posted to
our needs list.
