JEWS FOR JESUS TO SPEAK
Rehoboth United Methodist Church invites all too hear Lynn McCoy to speak on Wednesday, February 27, 2008 at 6:30 PM. Rehoboth United Methodist Church is located on 30 E. Salisbury Street in Williamsport, MD. McCoy is an evangelist with the Jews For Jesus organization’s Washington, D.C. branch.

Jews for Jesus is an organization which proclaims that Jesus is the Messiah of Israel and Savior of the World. "What could be more Jewish than following the Messiah?" Says Lynn McCoy, who considers herself 100 percent Jewish and 100 percent Christian.

"My father was an officer at our Orthodox synagogue, yet we were not religious," said McCoy. "In college I was exposed to many religions, but adhered to none. I knew intuitively that there could only be one truth about God. When someone from Jews for Jesus spoke at our school, I came out of curiosity. I was fascinated that a Jewish person could believe in Jesus. I agreed to read a book entitled Y’ shua-The Jewish Way to Say Jesus, by Moishe Rosen, which is an argument for the Messiahship of Jesus based on the Hebrew prophets. It was convincing, and that was the beginning of my faith in Jesus. That was in 1983."

McCoy graduated from the University of Hartford in West Hartford, Connecticut with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology. She came on staff with Jews for Jesus in 1987. McCoy is based at their Washington D.C. branch, but she often spends her summers in New York as part of the Summer Witnessing Campaigns conducted by the organization. Though small and soft spoken, McCoy doesn’t lack spunk. He street evangelism style includes handing out gospel pamphlets, marching in parades, and using drama, music and humor to preach to outdoor crowds.

Jews for Jesus was founded by Moishe Rosen, a Jew who has believed in Jesus for over 35 years. The organization has permanent branches in eight North American cities (San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, Toronto, New York City, Washington, D.C. and Fort Lauderdale) as well as over 127 volunteer chapters spanning some 41 states and five countries. The group’s international branches are headquartered in Johannesburg, London, Paris, Odessa, Moscow, Essen, Rio de Janeiro, Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk, and Tel Aviv.

David Brickner, has served with Jews for Jesus since 1980, was elected Executive Director in 1996 when he was 37. Brickner sees Jew for Jesus as a nineties ministry that is 2000 years old. "We began in 32 CE give or take a year. Jesus’ fist followers were Jewish men and women and since then there have been some of us in every generation."

To McCoy and other Jews for Jesus, believing in Jesus makes sense in light of the Jewish Bible and in light of their experiences as "believers." for those who argue that Christianity contradicts the meaning of Judaism, McCoy says there are answers which she will be happy to discuss after the presentation.

Website Updates

The Google search bar is working. There is a bit of a problem with getting recent search results for our site, which should change when Google crawls our site again. This should take no more than another week or so. Because the last website was updated so rarely, Google only searches our site monthly.

The history pages are on their way and should be up, once we find the best way to present the information. We are considering posting the information as a group of web pages, or as an e-Book. If you have a preference, let us know.

Media pages are still a work in progress, but most of the issues have been resolved.

As always, feel free to give us any suggestions or criticisms.

Rehoboth Website News:

We're working on some upgrades to the Rehoboth Website; one is already at work, one is in progress, and the other should be up in a week or so.

First, all the pages on the RUMC site have a Google Search bar at the bottom. You can use this tool to search just our site, or the internet.

Secondly, we are uploading the audio for the September 17 service. If this works as it should, new sermon audio can be added each week.

Third, we are working on restoring the History pages from the old website.

If there are any other features you miss from the old site, or want to see brand-spanking new, email us at rehobothumc@gmail.com.

"Then Job answered the Lord: 'I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.'"

Job 42: 1

IT IS VERY EASY for us to think that we can control the course of life and God's creation. The Lord did give us dominion over a lot. But Job's realization at the end of the book that bears his name was profound: no purpose of God's can be thwarted. Remember that in the middle of successes and failures, good days and bad. The best thing we can do is try to ride God's wave of the Holy Spirit as He carries the world where God is leading. The Lord can do all things...and purpose of yours (Lord) can be thwarted.

Pastoral Epistle 9-29-06

"Salt is good; but if salt has lost its saltiness, how can you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another."

Mark 9: 50

DISCIPLES OF JESUS CHRIST are the salt God's put in the earth to season the world. Let's not lose the "saltiness" that makes us different, marking us as followers of Jesus.

THIS SUNDAY, OCTOBER 1 is World Communion Sunday when our worship is focused around sharing the Sacrament of The Lord's Supper with believers all over the earth. The Rejoicers Choir, Ensemble and Singers will be leading music ministries at both 8:15 and 10:45 AM services this week. Come to God's House, prepared to come to the altar for a taste of God's goodness.

PRAYER NEWS YOU CAN USE: please pray for these Rehoboth family members who are currently hospitalized.

[Editor's Note: Names have been removed from this post for the sake of privacy. If you would like more information, e-mail Pastor Jim at jimswecker@myactv.net and ask to be put on the Rehoboth Mailing List. Then all Pastoral Epistles will be emailed to you.]
