Women’s Drama for Holy Week…
March 31st
“Services of Repentance and Renewal”
Jesus’ “Journey to Jerusalem” is beginning anew!
Each year we are invited to share in the travel with Him.
It will ultimately lead us to a cross and an empty tomb.
The journey will…possibly… stir a new appreciation of
God’s saving presence in the death and resurrection of
Christ in and through us. Won’t You Join the Journey?
It begins any day, but particularly on Ash Wednesday,
February 18th when Christian people throughout the
world gather to “go a new direction” (repentance) and
receive “renewal” through their confession as well as
the “imposition of ashes.”
Gettysburg UMC will host a “Service of Repentance
and Renewal” on Ash Wednesday, both at 12:00 Noon 1:00 PM (an informal lunch/service...reservations
requested, by not required) and 7:00 PM. Persons are
invited to gather for either service. All Are Welcome!

Women were most attentive to the teaching, ministry,
and life of Jesus. Mary and Martha, to mention two
were intimate friends of Jesus, and thus, the Gospel
narrative speaks of their special relationship.
In this spirit, we are pleased to
announce that our March 31st
Dinner At Six Gathering will
celebrate the significant
relationships of such women
with Jesus, To do so, we are
preparing “A Women’s Upper
Room Drama” and accordingly
we are inviting women of the
congregation and the community
to prayerfully consider participation. – The speaking
parts are brief; the costumes will be simple and
tasteful; the rehearsals will be three or four one hour
sessions. You are welcome to be a participant!
Interested persons are invited to contact Pastor Jay
about additional details or signup on the Gathering
space poster.
Also, we are pleased to announce that the
Transitioners Class will once again this year serve as
our meal hosts for the evening! How good! Please mark
your calendar with this special Holy Week time of
sharing!

Introducing our new
“Young Adult” Ministry…
The goal of our Young Adult
Ministry is to connect young
adults (adults between approximately the ages of 18
and 40) with Jesus Christ, our church community, and
a community of fellow young adults who share a faith in
Jesus Christ. We seek to provide social networking and
service opportunities that will allow us to build and
strengthen the community of Young Adults within
Gettysburg United Methodist Church. Our Young Adult
Ministry is currently being coordinated by Bonnie
McCutcheon and Cindy Bittinger. They welcome your
questions and ideas regarding this ministry!
Who is a “Young Adult”?
I know what you’re thinking – “isn’t that the youth
group?” No, we're not talking about the youth group!
"Young Adults" are those adults between about 18 and
40. We also welcome those who are "Young at Heart"
to join us as well - after all, age is just a number!

SAVE THE DATE…
Mark your calendar and register now
for our next WOMEN’S RETREAT
starting Friday evening, March 20,
2015 and all day Saturday, March 21,
2015 ending around 5 pm or so. The retreat will be
held at Gettysburg United Methodist Church. Be part of
this retreat and register today.
Our theme, Hearing the Voice of God, will be read by
Rev. Christine Rogan, a Pastor of two UMC churches
and a Conference Evangelist of Western PA.
Meet Christine Rogan… “I have a passion to save the
lost and equip God’s people to serve Christ in the
power and gifts of the Holy Spirit. I received Christ as
Lord and Savior in 1980- and heard the call to ministry
in 1987. Immediately following the call, I experienced
what Jesus described in Acts 1:5-8 as the baptism with
the Holy Spirit and began preaching the gospel. I
earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Edinboro University
of PA in English/Writing and a Masters of
Divinity/Pastoral Counseling from Ashland theological
Seminary. I have received further training through the
Billy Graham Assoc. of Amsterdam 2000, an event to
equip evangelists and pastors for the evangelization of
the world. In addition, I have received training in
healing prayer under the teaching of Dr. Terry Wardle at
Ashland Seminary. I have 10 years of pastoral ministry
experience and have served as a Conference
Evangelist four years.”
Hospitality ... Make It A Special Sunday Ministry
We have and have had some very special people
offer a very special Sunday ministry! It all relates to
the "Hospitality" time that we all enjoy from 10:00 10:25 AM each Sunday. Particularly, we recognize
Tina Brady and Barbara and Tony Buenger along
with Norma and Vic Reale, who for numerous years,
provided our refreshments each first Sunday. We
"thank them" for a job well done!
In a similar way, we acknowledge Maxine and
Meredith Ball and Genny Reaver for their on-going
hosting of hospitality time refreshments on the third
Sunday of the month. Their gifts are always visually
appealing and a real joy to the palate!
With a "new" kitchen and gathering space, we are
seeking folks who would host our Hospitality Time
on the first, second, fourth, or fifth Sundays of
the month. Food is the essential item, as beverage
and tableware are provided. For further information or
to volunteer, please contact Sue Ressler, our
Invitational Ministry Coordinator, at 338-1728
or call the church office at 334-3032.

Did You Know????
A variety of ministries take place on the Gettysburg
College campus, including Disciplemakers, a ministry
that is nationally based. -- Gettysburg UMC is pleased
that our March Mission Can Offering (March 15th) will
benefit Colleen Christian, who is a Gettysburg College
graduate, who is currently ministering with on behalf of
Disciplemakers. In a recent Disciplemakers newsletter,
Colleen offers the following:
There’s no doubt that God is raising up disciples on
college campuses. But there are certain student groups
that are presumably harder to reach, like fraternities,
sororities, and athletes. Why do we shy away from
reaching the “cool “ kids? Why do we assume they
want nothing to do with Jesus? They need Him just as
much as anyone!
Here’s a link to a short video highlighting two of my
co-workers at Gettysburg College, Clint and Jillian
Watkins, and their efforts to reach these overlooked
student groups. They are partnering with student
leaders to reach athletes and Greek life, and one bible
study has football and frat guys coming out consistently
to learn about what it means that Jesus was the
perfect man. He sets the standard for manhood, and
on one can live up to it, but He offers Himself to be our
perfections! Praise God for the work He is doing I these
guys’ lives to open up His Word to them.

We Invite Your Special Participation .....
Ministry is a gift that we each offer in praise and
thanksgiving! Some cook! Some shovel snow! Some
lead a study group! Others are worship leaders! Still
others contribute a monetary gift! Each is significant in
our ministry!
In this spirit, please be reminded, especially as we
begin this new year, that there are several on-going
ways that your ministry gifts contribute wonderfully to
our Sunday celebrations. These include:
* Serving As A Greeter Prior to Worship -- Two persons
often serve on a given Sunday, but a single greeter is
also a real blessing!
* Flower Sponsorship -- God is honored when lovely
altar flowers are provided by you and others. The cost
is $30/Sunday for two arrangements. Our florist,
Flower Boutique, processes the billing when you
sponsor altar flowers for a given Sunday. -- You are
welcome to take the flowers home or give them to a
friend, shut-in, etc. Please see the "flower chart" signup sheet outside the church office area.
* Worship Leader -- Engaging the congregation in
worship is a time honored ministry! We invite all
persons to share in the proclamation of God's Holy
Word, in the sharing of the sacraments, and witness of
God's grace.
* Worship Bulletin Sponsorship -- In recent years our
lovely Transfiguration of Christ stained-glass window
has been the focus of our worship bulletin. It is a
weekly reminder of Christ's mountaintop experience, as
well as the generosity of Marian Shears and her
mother, who contributed the window years ago. You
can continue this celebration by sponsoring our Sunday
bulletins in memory or in honor of someone special.
The weekly cost is $20, made payable to "Gettysburg
UMC."
Sign-up Information for each of the above ministries is
locating on the bulletin outside of the church office.
Thank you for the anticipation of your ministry!

ARE YOU THINKING OF JOINING GUMC?
How pleased we are to announce that we will be
receiving new
members into our church in the near future! There are
several ways that membership can take place:
Letter of Transfer: Persons currently belong to another
congregation nearby or in another community, etc. The
desire to transfer membership is activated by having
our church office (334-3032) request a "letter of
transfer" from the other congregation (United
Methodist, Lutheran, etc.).
Profession of Faith: Persons who
have never joined a congregation are
invited to receive membership by
expressing their faith in Jesus Christ.
Our hymnal has a brief order of
worship for this celebration. The
profession of faith may take place
during the service or privately. ---For
persons who have not been baptized, the Sacrament of
Baptism is the means of union with the church.
Reaffirmation of Faith: Persons whose membership in
another congregation has lapsed may be united with
the church by a brief reaffirmation of faith. This may
take place in worship or privately.
Associate Membership: Persons who have their
United Methodist Church membership in another
congregation (and seek to retain it) may become an
"associate member" in the Gettysburg Church family.
What is next? If you are a person who has been
prayerfully considering union with our congregation, we
say thank you for your prayers! Please note that
Gettysburg Church will receive new members on
Sunday, March 22nd at 10:30 AM. An informal, get

Dear Gettysburg Church Family and Friends,
It's February .... the "Love Month!" Not that other months do not encompass the spirit of love, it's
just that February seems to have a corner on the market ... for obvious reasons.
The Biblical narrative talks often about love, whether it's the Old Testament or the New Testament
proclamation. The reason is pretty simple: "When You Talk About God, As Also the Dynamics of
Life, Love Is Involved." Love is the noun ... the verb, and even the adjective that is manifest in
divine/human relationships. To use a well-known analogy, it is the "glue" that
keeps relationships going in a healthy, vital direction.
As strange as it might sound, the dynamics of love have become very "up front" for the Zimmerman
family in recent days. Yes, as you probably heard, our daughter, Erin, and her husband, Zach, are
anticipating the birth of a baby on July 22nd. (Erin is dying to know whether the baby will be a boy or
a girl, while all the more cheering for a girl.) We, as expectant grandparents, are focused on a healthy
pregnancy and a healthy baby.
Likewise, our younger daughter, Lauren, is well connected to Colin, a young man serving in the
Army, just like our son-in-law. For Linda and me, Lauren and Colin's relationship has
been somewhat like reliving our senior year in college, when we met and eventually envisioned a life
together. The affirmations of love are inspiring! How cool!
In it all, love is rarely mentioned, at least in an overt manner, yet, it is so obvious. Actions, of
course, speak louder than words. -- Maybe that's the point of my sharing with you today.
Quite simply, Love Is Both An Emotion And a Decision. Your words can capture both of these, but
how you put love into play says more than anything else.
I can't help but conclude that God's action in Jesus Christ continues to set the pace for love in
your life, as in mine! Blessings of love to you and yours in Christ!
In Christ's Ministry,
Jay E. Zimmerman, pastor
