“A Call to Commitment”
By Rev. John Huggins, pastor
Jenkinsburg United Methodist
Charge
Among the major Protestant
denominations, United Metho
dists have ranked one-two with
Southern Baptists for decades.
Variant forms of each denomi
nation rarely represent the
mainline—and often the splint
er denominations are quick to
point this out. There are
movements afoot in the
mainstream of Methodism, the
United Methodist Church, with
which should inspire and
challenge Christians of all
denominations.
In the United Methodist
Church a system of meetings is
set up on a representative
basis. Local churches elect
officers to attend local church
conferences, District Confer
ences, and Annual Confer
ences. The Annual Conference
usually represents a state or
half a state. At the Annual
Conference laymen and mini
sters elect an equal number of
representatives to Jurisdic
tional Conferences and Gen
eral Conferences of worldwide
United Methodism.
Our Jurisdiction is the
Southeast USA. At Jurisdic
tional Conference laymen and
ministers elect bishops to
gether. Many of the bishops
elected in our Jurisdictions
exhibited eloquent leadership
at the last General Conference,
held in Atlanta in 1972. Laymen
from our area were included in
the voices crying out for new
directions in our denomination.
These directions became 5
distinct calls to reemphasize
elements traditionally strong
in our denomination.
The first call is for greater
Bible study. Churches should
never take Bible study for
granted. There should always
be study in the church for
“beginners” in Biblical in
sight. Our societies of women,
men and youth have been
encouraged to seek peak
attendance during devotional
studies. Our Sunday Schools
have special courses to
supplement the usual Bible
study with more intensive
looks at portions of Scripture.
All churches should remember
that Bible study is essential to
Christian growth.
Other movements include a
call for world peace, restudy of
evangelism and renewed em
phasis on true, undistorted
United Methodist doctrine. The
first four movements are
summed up in the fifth—a call
for total commitment to Christ
by every church member. Next
week I will present these
challenges to you in detail, but
this week, remember, no
church is great without great
Bible study.

Providence
Makes
Progress
By Hilda Wigley
Church Reporter
As far as the record shows
we had our first missionary
speakers Sunday, Nov. 4th.
They were Wayne and Linda
Nabors.
The Nabors told of their
plans for missionary work in
Mexico where they plan to
reside and teach the works of
God.
After the presentation, our
pastor, Rev. Stringer asked the
congregation if they would like
to purchase shares to help the
Nabors with their missionary
work. In response to this
request they received seven
shares.
We have received a generous
donation towards the painting
of the church. We are so
thankful for that. We also
received a piano donated by
Mrs. Henry Hardin. I’m sure
these people will be blessed for
their generosity.
Our attendance Sunday was
very good. We had quite a few
visitors, including our former
pastor, Rev. and Mrs. Frank
Smith. Our chuch is the oldest
in the U. S., but is still growing
and progressing.
Again we thank everyone for
their generosity, but most of all
we thank our Heavenly Father
for making it possible.

Manhattan Island is a case in point. Bought from the
