New Pastor, Rev. Jim Hilton, Begins New Appointment @ Tinney Chapel July 1, 2013
The Hiltons visited Tinney Chapel UMC, the quintessential country church, today, Wednesday, May 22, to visit in person with members of the S/PPR Committee, which they did for about two hours.
Afterwards, Rev. Jim and Mary agreed to make an introductory video to introduce themselves directly to our congregation. This idea originated from S/PPR Chair Cheryl Ann Newton who approached Joe Dan Boyd and asked him to make it happen, after securing approval from Rev. Carl Sterling, current pastor of our church, and from Rev. Dr. Joan LaBarr, current District Superintendent of the North Texas Conference's East District.
This is the video:

Linda Burdett Reaffirms Her Baptism which happened 15 years ago @ Tinney Chapel
Rev. Carl Sterling, Pastor, officiating

The following is excerpted and adapted from the following link as an aid for readers of this weblog who may not be familiar with the reaffirmation of baptism ceremony/liturgy. For more details, please go to this link:

"Remember your baptism and be thankful."

The "remembering" is about recommitment.
"It would be better if our ritual had translated this as ‘remember that you are baptized and be thankful,'" Burton-Edwards said. While not everyone can remember the occasion of their baptism, "we can all remember that we are baptized and be thankful for that."
United Methodism teaches that baptism initiates people into the faith community and into a covenant relationship with God and God's people. Reaffirming their vows enables Christians to renew their commitment to discipleship — with the help of the Holy Spirit, Burton-Edwards said.
While people fail in their attempts to live as faithful disciples, "God has done God's work in the covenant," he explained. Thus, The United Methodist Church does not rebaptize.
The reaffirmation ritual is appropriate for those who have been baptized and wish to recommit themselves to Christ.

Proclamation @ Tinney Chapel 01-13-13
"Wash Away The Junk" was today's sermon title, based on John 3:2-20
by Rev. Carl Sterling, Pastor
John 3:2-20
New International Version (NIV)
2 He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.”
3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.[a]”4 “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!”
5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit[b] gives birth to spirit. 7 You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You[c] must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”[d]
9 “How can this be?” Nicodemus asked.
10 “You are Israel’s teacher,” said Jesus, “and do you not understand these things? 11 Very truly I tell you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony. 12 I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things? 13 No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man.[e] 14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,[f] 15 that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.”[g]
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. 19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.
