Pastor’s Paragraphs
Ever watch the Antiques Roadshow? I’m always
amazed what people discover at garage sales,
or have in their possession some item that was
passed down from a parent that is simply
collecting dust yet unknowingly, is worth quite a
bit of money. One unnamed woman on the
program, learned she had quite a find with her
collection of 19th century baseball cards handed
down from her great-great-grandfather. Along
with the cards, she had an accompanying letter
signed by the players on the cards. The value of
these images was a cool $1 million. Appraiser
Leila Dunbar, who follows all the sports
paraphernalia that comes on the program said,
"It is the greatest archive I have ever had at the
Roadshow."
I’m in the process of cleaning out my parent’s
house so we can sell it. I don’t think I have any
$1M dollar finds from my mother, father, or
grandmother, but we did find some items,
especially pictures, that dated back to the 1870s.
It happened that I was looking through a small
trunk my grandmother owned and I found this
large, black photo album I did not know existed.
It was quite the find. None of my cousins knew
about it either. I was able to identify my greatgrandmother when she got married and we even
found a tin photo of her when she was a baby.
And though this large, black album is a really
neat treasure and fun to look at, the problem is
not all of the photos are named. We don’t know
who all of the people are in the photos. If my
grandmother could have told me this album
existed, I could have interviewed her years ago
regarding the names of the various people and
any stories she might know about them. The
upside to all of this, we found the pictures. The
downside, we lost specific family history that can
never be recaptured because it was never
shared, which means future generations will
never have the chance to benefit.
And as I think about history in general, the
gains and losses we might experience, I think
how history can help us to learn valuable
lessons about life so we don’t repeat past
mistakes but rather be encouraged to capitalize
Romeo United Methodist Church
on the successes and strengths of what worked
well. I think a prime example of all of this is the
Biblical history we have in the Scripture. Can
you imagine if we did not know some of the
stories regarding Moses or David? We wouldn’t
know about God leading Israel out of Egypt with
a mighty hand or how David was forgiven as a
king for his terrible decisions regarding
Bathsheba and Uriah. How about the fact the
nation of Israel continually drifted in their faith
and it took spiritual leaders to call them back to
God? Is it possible we could learn something
from Israel’s spiritual mistakes? Does Israel’s
history have any relevance for us living today in
the United States which was founded on
Christian principles, yet, scores of people who
live here either doubt God exists or behave as if
God does not exist? In some ways, America of
today reminds me of Israel in the Bible, who
forgot God and stepped outside the blessings
and ways of God and had to learn the hard way
that God expects us to follow Him – not do our
own thing. What will it take for our nation to
learn that we have drifted away from our
historical Christian roots?
In 2 Timothy 2:2 as Paul knows his life will be
coming to end soon, sends these final
instructions to Timothy so that the gospel will
continue to be passed on to further generations.
Paul says, “The things which you have heard
from me in the presence of many witnesses,
entrust these to faithful men (faithful Christians)
who will be able to teach others also.”
Christianity is always one generation away from
extinction. Therefore it is imperative that we
pass on the story of Christ, the history of what
God has done in the past and promises to do in
the future. We must share what we know with
the faithful, who will carry it on when we are
gone. If we don’t, the message will be lost and
God’s story will be forgotten, and those who
could have benefited will never get a chance to
hear.
Blessings,
Dr. G

Congratulations Class of 2015
We are excited to welcome you to the S.I.G.M.A. family! As you graduate High School (and our college
graduates returning home) and start this next chapter in your life we want to make sure that you have a
group of other young adults to connect with, have somewhere to grow in your faith, and that you are well
fed! We meet at the Methodist House (next to church) every Sunday evening (7-9pm, we normally are
hanging around way past 9pm). There is tons of food (different dinner theme each week) and when the
weather is nice we have a bonfire because we love being outside, making s’mores, and just hanging out
listening to music. We hope to see you this Sunday!

Dear Congregation,
Thank you for your support to me and our family in
the passing of my grandmother. As the first and
oldest grandchild she helped to raise me and I
became Grandma Green’s legal guardian and took
care of all the necessary appointments over the
years. For Lisa, she came to know Grandma Green
probably better than her own grandparents because
she stayed with us two weeks every year during our
marriage. I was very honored that so many stopped
by at the funeral home and attended the service for
Grandma Green. The cards and memorial gifts
have been a blessing and I thank you for honoring
our family in this way.
Sincerely,
Dr. G
