"The REST factor..."
"The apostles then rendezvoused with Jesus and reported on all that they had done and taught. Jesus said, "Come off
by yourselves; let's take a break and get a little rest." For there was constant coming and going. They didn't even have
time to eat. So they got in the boat and went off to a remote place by themselves." Mark 6:30-31 (the message)
I am pretty sure that I have found another curse word. The word is simply REST. Oh it doesn't appear to be that way
but it is. No one likes to rest or take a break anymore. We are so busy doing that we forget that our bodies require
rest. How can we perform at our best if we never stop to take a break from the stressors of everyday life.
REST describes the renewing of our minds, bodies, and spirits. We all need to rest and take a break from the world.
We need time to recuperate and become whole. I know how I feel after a long weeks work and I look forward to my
weekends. I look forward to resting and playing with my family. Playing as defined by Kiah often involves sand,
water, and sunshine!
This past fall I was called into a season of rest as I worked through a treatment plan to deal with my leukemia. As of
right now I am felling 100% and am rejoicing in the fact that the leukemia is in remission. I cannot thank both
church families enough for all of your prayers and kind thoughts and actions. You have been a blessing to me in this
tough time. It has made all the difference in my life and the life of my family.
The disciples had been out teaching, preaching, healing the sick and driving out demons. They were tired and needed
a rest. Jesus invites them to come away with him to a place of rest. A place where healing can take place. But as the
story goes they never get there because the needs are so many. Jesus continues to heal and teach. Jesus feeds five
thousand, and then appears to walk on water. The disciples were confused. The only one who found a place of rest
was Jesus who finally made it alone to pray and commune with God. We need to ask God's guidance and support.
On Friday, July 20, 2012 the Upper New York Annual Conference was assigned a brand new Episcopal leader.
Bishop Mark Webb will begin his term September 1, 2012. Bishop Marcus Matthews will be headed to the Baltimore
Washington Annual Conference. We wish both Bishop Matthews and Bishop Webb well in this time of transition.
(Please see full Article).
As I write this Mary, Kiah, and I, are preparing for a time of rest and prayer. We are headed to Camp Findley to attend
their annual Family Bible Camp. This will be a time of spiritual renewal and preparation for the months of ministry
ahead.
My prayer for you is that God will continue to bless you and your family this summer and that you will REST in
Christ and become renewed by the transforming of your mind.
In Christ,

An Intergenerational Experience for All!
What started as a venue for our local farmers and customers to sell/purchase local fresh
fruit and vegetables has expanded! The Market has accomplished those goals and more …
it has become an educational, recreational and social gathering for those in the local and
surrounding communities.
Do you want to learn how to make salsa? Sign up for Cornell Cooperative Extension’s
workshop on August 8 (call 331-8415 … MUST pre-register) and make your own salsa to
take home and enjoy! On August 29 there will be a similar workshop on making corn relish.
Our “Special Events” canopy on the back row has become a popular place to congregate! Kids have made planter
boxers to take home. This workshop was led by Roy McCarthy, and he will be offering another wood-working workshop
on August 15. Again, kids MUST sign up (sheet at the market registration table or call 315-879-7420) so that we
have enough supplies for all. On August 29 th kids can make bluebird houses. This workshop is being led by Seneca
Meadows/Montezuma Audubon Center, and again, kids MUST sign up ahead of time.
Also on August 15 the Master Gardeners’ will present a workshop on composting … is it time to learn this technique
to rescue our environment? Show up for this invaluable information!
On September 12 Dick Ransley will be the docent for an Historical walk down Main Street Sodus. Join Dick to take a
walk down memory lane … Knapp’s Pharmacy with their delicious cherry cokes, the movie theater, Gardner’s Clothing
Store … a nostalgic time to enjoy on a short walk.
Need to improve your lifestyle with a little low impact exercise? Over 50 market visitors participated in Creating
Healthy Places Bike and Hike on July 18, and continuing in this vein we will sponsor a walk monthly. Meet at the
Market at 4 p.m. on September 5 and October 3 for Walk With a Doc. Doctor’s Arif Choudhury and Lory Ghertner
will meet you there. Sue Minier, RN and Darcy Davidson, Rn, will take your blood pressure before the walk begins,
and you will receive a bottle of water to keep you hydrated on the walk. Upon return you will receive a nutritious
snack and be entered in a drawing to receive a market bag full of vendor-donated fresh fruits and veggies.
Another way to help our environment is to donate your old eyeglasses to the Lioness Club of Sodus for recycling.
Bring them to market on August 22, and while there, select from a variety of delicious home-baked cookies for a nominal
fee to support the club’s local service projects.
Bring your unused electronics to market on August 15 or September 19 for our Electronic Recycling project.
Mike Boone will share garlic recipes at the market on September 5 th …be sure to pick up some of these delicious and
healthy recipes!
All this, and more … to say nothing of the bountiful choice of local fresh produce provided by our faithful vendors!!!
Be sure to plan on having your dinner at market … you can choose from barbeque chicken, pulled pork, hots or hamburgers
at Pop’s House concession, or tostada’s, burritos, enchiladas … at El Rincon’s stand. Then sit and relax under
the shade trees, and enjoy your meal with the company of your family and friends.
See you at the Market!
Fruits of the Spirit

faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no
law.

or something you read about), please bring it to the church office for our
bulletin board “Fruits of the Spirit.” Sandy Hall
Sunday School Good Start Sunday
For the 2012-2013 school year, our Sunday School program will

the worship service, approximately 11:15 am, the children will go
upstairs for Sunday School. There will be a class for grades PK to 1;
grades 2-5; and grades 6-8. As always, we have a nursery class
available for those younger than 4 years old during the worship.
Please join us! Watch our website and also watch for a flyer to be
mailed at the end of August with more details.

what we have going on each week and get some
fresh fruits and vegetables from our local farmers.
SEE YOU AT THE MARKET!

Mark Webb named as new bishop of Upper New York Area
By Maidstone Mulenga
Newly elected Bishop Mark Webb was Friday morning assigned to be the new episcopal leader of the Upper New York Area of The United Methodist Church.
Bishop Webb will take over on Sept. 1, 2012. The Northeastern Jurisdiction (NEJ) Episcopacy Committee made the assignments at the end of the 2012 NEJ
Conference in Charleston, W.Va. Bishop Webb will succeed Bishop Marcus Matthews, who has been assigned to the Washington Area, where he will lead the
Baltimore-Washington Annual Conference. Hours later, Bishop Matthews presided over the Consecration Service for Bishop Webb and two other newly elected
bishops, Sandra Steiner Ball and Martin McLee, at St. Marks United Methodist Church in Charleston.
In his sermon, Bishop Matthews reminded the new bishops that ministry was not about themselves. “I invite you to remember, as I and everyone else who sits
were you sit, it’s not really about us; it is and always will be about God and living out the fullness of God’s purposes for us in the world,” Bishop Matthews said.
Until his election, Bishop Webb was district superintendent of the York District of the Susquehanna Annual Conference “I came with the ministry of healing,”
Bishop Webb told a gathering of delegates, staff and members of Upper New York Annual Conference after he was introduced to them by Conference Lay Leader
Scott Johnson. Bishop Webb acknowledged that he was following a beloved leader in Bishop Matthews, “and there will be some pain but I am here to help
with the healing.” Bishop Webb was elected Thursday afternoon on the 35th ballot, a record for the NEJ Conference. In introducing Bishop-elect Webb on
Thursday, Bishop Jane Allen Middleton said: “You are receiving a gift to the Church. This is a man who loves God deeply and lives that every day of his life. He
is a man of marvelous conviction and great gifts; the gift to not only to create a vision, but enroll others in that vision.” In response, the new bishop was graceful.
“I appreciate your love prayerful spirit and desire to do what God wants. We are a great Church, and God isn’t finished with us yet.” Webb, 47, is a native of
York, Pa., and is married to Jody Webb and they have two sons, Tyler, 18, and Benjamin, 16. He holds a M. Div. from Asbury Theological Seminary and a bachelor’s
from Shippensburg University. Before being named superintendent in 2007, Webb served pastor at Aldersgate United Methodist Church, Mechanicsburg,
Pa. He earlier served St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, Wormleysburg, Pa. Includes reporting by staff writer Beth DiCocco.
