“How Soon We Forget”
Welcome to Desert Chapel! We look forward to worshipping with you today. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask an usher or greeter, who will be glad to assist you. Restrooms, including handicap accessible facilities, are located on right (west) side of the sanctuary, and may be entered near either building entrance door. Additional restrooms are outside the lobby in the education building to the north of the sanctuary Children Are Welcome and Loved All children are welcome at Desert Chapel! No matter their age and behavior, children may attend the full worship service, participate in the Children’s Moments, and attend Sunday school following worship. We do have a nursery available in room 3 for the convenience of parents of children up to age 3, and there is a “cry room” located on the right (west) side of the sanctuary. Hearing Assistance Devices are available at the sound board at the back on the left (east) side of the sanctuary. You may also ask an usher to assist you. Special Sundays and Celebrations Hymn Sing ~ Each week, from 8:45—9:00, we sing hymns and songs from the United Methodist Hymnal and The Faith We Sing as they are called out by worshippers. Anyone may call out a song, and any song may be chosen. Birthdays and Anniversaries ~ On the first Sunday of each month during hymn sing, we invite (but do not require!) people who have a birthday or anniversary in that month to stand so we may celebrate with them. Noisy Change ~ On the second Sunday of each month, we collect change which is used to support ministry with youth and children. Celebrating the Goodness of God ~ On the third Sunday of each month, anyone who wishes to tell of something God has done for them during that month are invited to share. Greeting and Fellowship time ~ We invite you to spend some time greeting people you may not know, welcoming them to church! 2015 MISSIONS CALENDAR About Worship Our aim in worship is to glorify and praise God, to learn and to grow, and to begin to connect with one another. In order to open the way for all to worship, we use an “order” of worship, which is presented in paper format and on the projection screen. Worshippers are welcome to follow and participate in whatever way helps them connect with God. Worshippers may choose to sing or not sing, sit or stand or kneel, raise hands or keep them down, open or close their eyes, or assume any posture which makes sense to them. Every month our congregation will be focusing on one particular outreach ministry. We will be collecting items or money for specific community or church groups, or invite members to participate in hands on ministry where needed. For the month of January our outreach ministry we will be focusing on: We Share Our Gifts (Offering) - each Sunday, we invite worshippers to make a monetary gift to the church in grateful response to what God has done for them, and as a sign of their faith. Guests are welcome to make such a gift, but are not expected to do so. Restroom Closet Fellowship Hall Woeller Hall Quilters Campus Map In the printed order, there are some abbreviations which give general direction. They include: An asterisk (*), which indicates that worshippers are invited to stand as they are able. UMH indicates songs or prayers found in “The United Methodist Hymnal” in the pew pockets. TFWS indicates songs or prayers found in “The Faith We Sing” in the pew pockets NT indicates the page on which a passage of scripture may be found in the New Testament in the pew Bibles. OT indicates the page on which a passage of scripture may be found in the Old Testament in the pew Bibles. Kitchen Restrooms W Conf. Room 8 9 4 5 6 Rooms Ed. Room 3 2 Restrooms Church Office Custodian Superstition Mountain Elementary (Health Supplies) Clothes Greeting One Another ~ Generally worshippers move around the room and welcome one another, shaking hands and sharing names. All are encouraged to use this time to welcome someone they do not know. Passing the Peace ~ Occasionally we will “pass the peace of Christ” during our communion celebration. This is a symbol of restoring relationships with one another which may be broken, or which may be strong and celebrated. This comes from Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 5, where he instructs us to make peace before offering our gifts … and ourselves … to God. “How Soon We Forget” ▲ N 1 Nursery Pastor’s Office Lobby M 462 N Palo Verde Dr., Apache Junction, AZ 85120 Website: www.desertchapelumc.org Email: Info@desertchapelumc.org 480-982-2259 Rev.

Happy New Year Pancake SUPPER Clothing Closet - Each Saturday we give away clothing, toiletries and other necessities to people in need. Donations are accepted as well— see the bulletin board for current needs! Friday, January 2, 2015 in Fellowship Hall Second Mile Giving We have recently received many requests for assistance, many more than we can meet with our current cash flow, always at it's lowest in September. As we discussed these needs in Church Council, we realized that many folks may not know about our "Pastor's Discretionary Fund." This is the fund we use to help people with things like electric bills, gasoline, rent, and more. It is only funded when someone makes a donation (as donations were made in memory of Pat Edwards last winter). It is not a part of the general fund, and help can only be given when there is money in the account. If you would like to make a one time donation, or even a small monthly donation over and above your regular giving, we can bless even more people in need. Simply place your donation Come join us and bring friends for a Pancake Supper to celebrate the New Year from 4:00-6:00 p.m. on Friday, January 2, 2015 in Fellowship Hall. Two eggs cooked the way you want, link sausages, apple sauce, coffee or juice and all you can eat pancakes for $3.50 per person. Anyone can give an endowment gift. Any size gift may be made as an endowment. You may do this now or as part of your estate plan. .
