Chapelwood’s Mission is to embody God’s grace as we receive it to those who need it.
The Chapelwood family is a service-focused body of believers who welcome all to experience God’s grace and goodness through Christian community. While we are determined to “take church” to those who do not belong to a local church family, we also delight in serving those individuals and families within our church. We provide ongoing faith-building activities and meaningful fellowship opportunities for men, women, youth, and children.

A WORD FROM LUIS
You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to.Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being.When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross.Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:5-11
This is one of my favorite passages of all time. I have dwelled and wondered on these verses on and off throughout my adult life. These words are central to our faith as followers of Christ. Every Lent I tend to come back to this passage. I can’t escape it. It’s a reminder that everything Christ has asked us to do, He has done it first.
We are able to love because He first loved us. We are able to forgive because He forgave us. We can be generous because He is generous. We are able to be obedient because He was obedient. We are able to die because He died for us “While we were still yet
sinners.” We could go on and on - the bottom line is that we can’t do the
things He has invited us to do on our own strength. We need the indwelling of His Spirit. This is where Pauls’ words ring so true for me, “It’s no longer I, but Christ in me.” Christ is in us by way of His Spirit.
I believe that Christ’s Spirit helps us lament. If laments are raw prayers and pleas directed to God, then only the Spirit can help us lament. We can’t even lament very well in our strength.
“In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.” - Romans 8:26-27 [NIV]
The series The Cry has created a sacred space to be humble, yet bold and completely honest with God and those around us. This unbridled honesty is not about “letting it out” or some kind of Spiritual therapy - it’s about getting in touch with the pain and doubts that lie deep within us. It is there, in light of who He is and despite our circumstances and anguish; that we come to know who we are. We surrender not to a spirit of defeat or to overwhelming circumstance; we surrender to the One who hears our cry. If you are fully alive you will lament - sooner or later. It’s a part of life.
If Christ has done everything first, then when did He lament? You see, if He lamented, then we can lament. Jesus’ lament was greater then His words on the cross, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” - Psalm 22 and Matthew 27:46. I believe Jesus descended into the deepest, widest, darkest, filthiest, most desperate lament of all for our sake. He asked the questions we dare not ask; He wrestled with the anguish and fear we dread to face; He encountered the wretchedness of death in a way that no human ever will. He not only lamented, He became a lament so that we could be glorified with Him. In keeping with The Cry, He became our “plea and our praise!”
As you lament and lament with those around you, know that Jesus too lamented in unimaginable ways for us. May the Spirit continue to give us the courage and spaces to lament.

EXPERIENCE GRACE IN WORSHIP
SIMPLE LIFE BY WAYNE WATSONNOW ON SALE IN THE BOOKSTORE
PATHWAY TO PURITYSunday, April 3 and 10, 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.Empowering your child to victory in today’s sex driven culture.
As a father of three girls, I concluded early on that I simply do not have the insight and wisdom to give my girls the tools they need to face today’s many challenges. However, the perspective and wisdom provided by my Christian faith has equipped me to deal with the challenges of parenthood. After five decades of life, I have concluded that God’s wisdom is the only true wisdom. My primary job as a parent is to impress this truth on my children, such that it becomes a self-evident principle, guiding their own spiritual growth. Deuteronomy 6:6-8 tells us, “These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.” -Tom Dickinson
The most important person or persons in a child’s life when it comes to overcoming the pressures of today’s culture is his or her parents. The foundation put down in the home directly affects the child’s ability to overcome today’s cultural and sex-related pressures.
Pathway to Purity sessions are designed to equip parents to teach God’s wisdom concerning living a pure life. Parents will be given tools to:
• Connect to your son or daughter’s heart before he or she enters the teen years;
• Create heart-to-heart time allowing the discussion of intimate issues;
• Teach your children about sexuality;• Understand grace and forgiveness in your own life, so your
past failures do not keep you from equipping your child in this area.
All parents will meet in the Chapel and be led in a session by Linda Withers and Laura Gallier. Fourth and fifth graders will meet in the Fireside Room, while sixth graders will meet in the Smith Scout Building.
For more information, contact Linda Withers, lwithers@chapelwood.org.

SUMMIT 2016
I was a first-timer and I was worried. Worried I would not have enough energy to make it through the week with a group of seventh and eighth graders. Worried I would not get enough sleep. Worried the family members left at home would be lost without me. Worried about what I was going to eat all week since I have a gluten intolerance.
That is how I felt as SUMMIT 2015 got underway. And maybe that is how you feel as you consider being an adult leader for this year’s SUMMIT.
Let me assure you, there is nothing to worry about on this adventure. Pretty much any problem you can come up with has already been thought of by the Student Ministry staff, and a solution has been put into place. It is a well-oiled machine that just needs adult leaders to put it into action.
My SUMMIT team of seventh and eighth grade girls and boys and I started out the week driving to Bulverde, Texas, together, getting to know each other with games and music provided by the Student Ministry team. I could tell right away my team was fantastic by the way they did not make fun of me for getting lost. Or for singing really loud to all the fun music provided for us.
We arrived at Bulverde UMC, our home away from home, and got settled in. This is where the middle school group stayed, while the high school group stayed at Bracken Christian School. Everyone brought air mattresses or cots, and the girls stayed in the classrooms at the church, while the boys stayed in the fellowship hall.
We enjoyed our meals together in the gym and had a fantastic kitchen team taking care of our every need, from hot coffee in the morning to evening snacks during our adult leader “face-time” meetings each night.
The worksites ranged from community-relations work, such as running a Vacation Bible School for underprivileged kids in the area, to more hands-on work, like removing rotten siding on a house and replacing with new siding. It was all very fulfilling and important work, guaranteed to make you sleep well each night.
And after each full day of hands-on, fulfilling, and important work at the client sites, it was time to clean up for dinner. You may be thinking that most churches do not have showers that a huge group of middle school and high school kids, and their leaders, can use. Leave it to the Student Ministry team to set us up at a nearby school that had plenty of showers in their locker rooms. There was hardly ever a wait, and there was always plenty of nice cold water to cool you down after a hot day of laboring. Yes, really!
Each evening, the Student Ministry team had something fun planned before dinner. At dinner, there was never a shortage of food for the hungry kids. Afterwards, all the high school and middle school kids joined together for some incredible worship at the beautiful Riverside Church. If you have not witnessed over 200 kids bouncing, singing, swaying, and experiencing true worship, this is the place to do it. God was definitely at work in these kids.
The week wound down with a dinner for our “clients” where we socialized and learned more about them. We also took time to share where we saw God working during the week. And amazingly enough, while were we all working to help these people in Bulverde, Texas, God was at work in each of us. For myself, God gave me a patience I didn’t know I had, energy to work all day and still play nine-square later, and a love for quirky middle-schoolers who like to paint themselves with oil-based paint.
Expect all of this and more when you join in the fun on this year’s SUMMIT trip June 19 through June 24. There is a place for you at SUMMIT, even if you have never lifted a tool in your life. You will be blessed beyond measure as you help our Chapelwood kids help others.

DISCOVER THE DREAMS GOD HAS POURED INTO YOUHave you ever struggled to understand who God is calling you to be and what God is calling you to do? If so, then plan on attending "The Only One Standing in Your Way is You."
The two-day seminar will be offered Thursday, April 21 – Friday, April 22, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in LC214.

The way you think carries over into all aspects of your life. Participants will learn concepts that will improve their effectiveness as leaders, individual performers, and team players; and help them to become better spouses, parents, and friends.
Who will benefit from “The Only One Standing in Yout Way Is You”?• Those who find themselves asking, "Am I missing something?
Is this really the life God has for me?"• Those in transition or experiencing significant life changes,
such as an empty nest or retirement• Those who feel personally, professionally, or spiritually “stuck”• Those who would like to improve relationships with spouses,
children, and friends
Fred Lowe and Sue Howe, both members of Chapelwood, will be teaching “The Only One Standing in the Way Is You,” which has been popular for more than a decade.
The cost for the class is $30, which includes lunch on both days and a workbook. Space is limited. Register online at chapelwood.org, keyword TOOS. For more information, contact klewis@chapelwood.org.

LIFE GROUPS – A SAFE SPACE FOR THE TEEN YEARS
9
Chances are, if you’re the Chapelwood parent of a teenager, you know all about Life Groups. Parents of older elementary students take note. Life Groups are an invaluable resource for your kids, as they’re approaching the time in their life when they desperately need exactly what this program provides. Don’t have kids? Keep reading – and be inspired by the thoughtful approach to teenagers and their needs that Chapelwood supports.
“There are trials in middle school and high school,” said Marla Riedel, mom to a sophomore and a seventh-grader, and one of the leaders of the Eighth Grade Girls group. “Trouble in school, teacher problems . . . (Life Groups) is a good way to be close to a group that has the same beliefs as you do.” Sundays at 5:30 p.m. is when everything kicks off. All age groups from sixth grade to twelfth grade gather in the Game Room for 45 minutes to an hour, where they eat dinner, hang out, visit with each other, and enjoy some unstructured time. Beginning around 6:15 or 6:20, the groups break off and go to different rooms in the church to start their group time, which is the heart of the program. “It’s more interactive than just being a part of the big crowd in a Sunday School listening to someone teach. We want to hear from them what’s going on,” said Patrick Richard, who helps lead the Senior Guys group. “To me, that’s what sets Life Groups apart from the other events that happen during the week.”
“Life groups are divided by grade and then gender,” said Meredith Valach, co-leader of the Tenth Grade Girls group. “It gives them a safe space to vent, or even just talk in general, because sometimes they don’t get to be heard in their everyday lives because there’s just too much going on.” Each group helps work out its own plan for the year. For the younger kids, it might include sharing “Highs and Lows” of the week, while by the time they’re seniors, they may have decided to spend some time digging into a particularly interesting book of the Bible. Of course, if a group chooses to focus on a selection of topics relevant to their lives, the group leaders are certainly willing to make that happen. “Effective ways of coping with stress” might be one topic, while “Gossiping” and “Forgiveness” might be others. The Senior Guys group members are all facing their departure for college, which provides plenty of topics for discussion. Fortunately, they’ve got leaders who saw this moment coming four years ago. “When I started with them, I really got interested in talking to them about developing Christian character,” said Patrick. “I thought these guys are going to be out of the house in four years and there’s going to be nobody looking over their shoulder. ‘Who are you when no one’s looking?’ That’s what I try to impress on them, as far as the choices and decisions they make.” From deciding which college to attend to facing the challenges associated with breaking away from the daily oversight of Mom and Dad, these guys have developed a bond among themselves and with their leaders that provide a firm foundation for the next stages of life.
Parents who volunteer as leaders are always placed with a group that does not contain their child. That’s deliberate. And confidentiality is key, as the discussions and questions in Life Groups are often of a personal nature. “Whatever’s said in Life Group stays in Life Group,” says Patrick. “We really want them to feel like it’s a safe place where they can say anything and we’re there to listen.”
The bonds that develop in Life Group can last beyond high school – the bonds among students, and their bonds with the leaders. Meredith can testify to that. As one of the earliest students in Life Groups when they started, she can look around the room at dinnertime and still see adults who were group leaders when she was in high school. “Fred Gibson – he was around when I was going through the youth program, and I love him even more now,” she said. “The great thing to me about Life Groups – especially from a leader’s perspective – we start with a grade and continue with them. If we’re with the eighth grade one year, we move with those same kids to the ninth grade, and on to tenth grade the year after that. You really get to see the development of each kid, and as a group, you get to bond over time.” The continuity is good for the kids, too. The knowledge, understanding, and trust built over years with their group leaders, who range in age from older college students to grandparents, is not something easily found. In most cases, the leaders of a group vary in age, so each group benefits from the perspective of both younger and older adults.
Both of Marla’s kids attend Life Groups. In fact, Marla became a Life Group leader because of her daughter’s participation. “She went once and said, ‘I have to go back!’ She started going to Summit, then Choir Camp, and things took off. And the more I heard, the more I thought, ‘My son needs to come, too.’”
Patrick draws a historical parallel. “The early church grew because the people came together and saw the importance of community.” Community is what Life Groups are all about, whether it’s sharing feelings, searching for solutions, venting frustrations, or interacting with each other. “We’ll have sharing time at the beginning, then we’ll dive into the book we’re studying. There’s definitely a lot of interaction.”
So what do kids (and their parents) need to know? Marla sums it up nicely. “You need this. You don’t think you need it, you might not know you need it. But you’re going to need it when you’re going through trials and problems in high school. It’s a great way to connect to your peers at the church, your group, and to bond with them and to all be accountable to each other about what’s going on.”
Students are welcome join their Life Group at any time. Students or parents who have questions are encouraged to contact Sarah Pattillo, spattillo@chapelwood.org.

Chapelwood launched its first-ever evening women’s Bible study in October 2015, and the response has been tremendous. More than 80 women, ranging in age from their 20s to 70s, have participated for one or more of the three-week sessions. A new three-week series begins Wednesday, April 6, with a study of the story of Hannah from I Samuel.
GEMS is designed to offer women a mid-week time of refreshment, acceptance, and fellowship. Wynter Patterson, Linda Withers, and Teresa Rossy share the teaching with engaging Biblical storytelling. So far we have encountered Ruth and Naomi, Queen Esther, and the Samaritan
woman at the well. The table decorations, safe and encouraging sharing, experienced table facilitators, journaling, and contemplative prayer time all contribute to a spirit-filled atmosphere. We invite all women to try GEMS for the month of April.
For more information, contact Teresa Rossy, trossy@chapelwood.org or (713) 354-4407. GEMS meets Wednesdays, April 6, 13, and 20, from 6:30 – 8:00 p.m. in the East Room. Dinner is served in the Fellowship Hall beginning at 5:30 p.m., and childcare is available by reservation to nursery@chapelwood.org.

TRY ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL IN APRIL AND MAY
*Rev. Bob Johnson will teach The Genesis Project to Candlelighters, A Place for You Singles and Women’s Perspective Class, April 3- May 8.
THE GENESIS PROJECTRev. Bob Johnson has written The Genesis Project and is teaching it to his Wednesday night Bible study and several Sunday School classes this year. The basic assertion of The Genesis Project is this: “God, in the first two chapters of the Book of Genesis, has revealed his original will, purpose, and intent for all human beings. That will, purpose, and intent never changes throughout all that happens in the Bible – good, bad, and ugly. And that will, purpose, and intent remain in effect today”. Join Bob and the Candlelighters, Pathfinders and Women’s Perspective classes for this uplifting, energizing class that helps us connect the dots between the Old Testament and the New Testament. The classes will meet together Sundays, April 3 – May 8, at 9:45 a.m. in W101-102.

SEWING FOR A CAUSEImagine a World where every little girl owned at least one dress!What if that dress were made by you?
Help us change a life by sewing a simple pillowcase dress for a girl in need.
Making a difference in the life of a girl whose eyes light up just to own a new dress inspires Chapelwood members and friends. For the past six years, Chapelwood has hosted a biannual Sewfest where sewers and volunteers get together to work for a greater cause. They utilize their sewing and organization skills to contribute to the “Dress A Girl Around the World”(www.dressagirlaroundtheworld.com) sewing campaign. We will be hosting our Spring Sewfest on Saturday, March 26, from 8:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. in the W101-102 to sew pillowcase dresses. These dresses will be sent to impoverished girls around the world. We are looking for volunteers to join us for Sewfest and/or donations of new pillow cases. You don’t need to sew to participate. For more information, please contact Jacqueline Wright at jwright@wrightdata.com or (713) 464-6708.

GOOD STEWARDLooking for a great way to serve on a Saturday morning? Good Steward Global Initiative is your answer! Good Steward’s mission is to send books to developing countries for student libraries. Mark Cotham, Chapelwood member, started this organization in 2010 to collect books to send to Africa to help raise their education levels. It started in Chapelwood’s basement and grew so large that he had to move it to the Houston Food Bank. Our church invited volunteers to spend the morning there in late February sorting and packaging books, and we had a great time! It is a wonderful family-friendly serving opportunity and great for classes and groups to do together! Contact Mark Cotham at goodstewardglobal@gmail.com for more information.

SHARE GRACE IN MINISTRY

A TRAILER PARK WAY WORSE THAN MINE
Cathy Bradley, a member of Mercy Street, shares with Janine Roberts about her first mission experience to a children’s home in Tapachula, Mexico.
For me, I knew from the beginning that it was a God thing because someone approached me and said, “I want YOU to go to Tapachula.” Sometimes God speaks through other people. My heart was stirred immediately as my friend Betsie talked about the children at Mission on the Move Children’s Home. She explained that some of the children had been living in prison with their parents who struggled with drug addiction, and instantly I knew I was supposed to go and share my story with them.
The people I work with were very supportive from the beginning. Everyone was counting down the days and joining in the journey with me. I knew it was God because the process was not complicated. Nothing was forced. I applied for my passport ahead of time, and even though there were some issues to get it on time, I was never anxious. I heard God saying, “There will be other mission trips,” so I felt a peace that if this one was meant to be then I would go. If not, there would be other opportunities in the future.
I loved the team meetings to prepare us for the trip. We had a chance to get to know a little about other members each time we met. I was interested to see how it all came together and found that each person brought something different to the team. Our leader, Kathie Luther, provided structure but was open to being flexible. I am passionate about leadership and want to empower and encourage women to be in leadership. Sometime this is in quiet actions behind the scenes. I noticed the heart and passion each of our team members had, and that our individual quirkiness and heart for the mission added something special.
I gave my testimony the third night we were there. One of the boys later asked someone to translate so he could talk to me. He shared his own experience and owned up to some of the things he had done wrong in the past. He thanked me for feeling safe enough to share in front of people I didn’t even
know. God had placed the words in my heart to share without being paralyzed by fear or shame of my past. That was one of the purposes I had on this team. I am able to share in a group setting without feeling judged, and as I saw the tears falling as people were translating my words, I realized that this is what it is all about.
Another boy made eye contact with me from the very beginning and seemed to have a special spiritual connection. He would constantly be watching everyone and how we interacted with each other. I could see pain in his heart, but also a smile and gratefulness. He had the biggest dimples and gave the biggest hugs. It was amazing to have such a connection with the children even without being able to communicate directly.
I was most impressed by a walk the children took us on around their neighborhood. This helped me to see life outside of where the kids live. In the childrens' home there is structure, healthy food, routine, spiritual guidance, and a family-style atmosphere. It is all about the kids, and the emotions the staff felt when talking about where the kids came from was genuine.
But walking past so many shacks that day on our walk through the neighborhood brought me back to the trailer park where I grew up. I thought my life was difficult growing up, and I didn’t want the hand I was dealt. It really put things into perspective to be invited into a home and feel the presence of God in their invitation. They weren’t overcome by self-pity, but instead were full of hospitality and smiles, even though their “trailer park” was way worse than mine. They never asked us for anything, but instead invited us in and it was so powerful.
Coming home, I am now so appreciative of clean water straight from the tap, which is something I had never considered before. I have spent a lot of time reflecting and being grateful for the opportunity to see how other people live and realizing that is their normal. I loved being part of a team and hope I will have the opportunity to serve in this way again in the future.

2016 FOUNDATION DINNER – LEGACY OF LIFE
Mark your calendar and plan to join us Tuesday, May 10, at 6:30 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall for the 2016 Foundation Dinner. This year’s theme is Legacy of Life and will feature Ricardo Barnes, the Executive Director of the Spring Branch Family Development Center, as the keynote speaker. The inspiring worship band from The Branch will provide memorable entertainment.
At the dinner, we will celebrate how God has worked through the Foundation to spread His love, mercy, and grace to those in need. We are so grateful for the generosity of this congregation, which enables the Foundation to continue to bless others. Last year, the Foundation awarded over $290,000 to charitable ministries in our community and around the world. You won’t want to miss this special night filled with inspiration, hope, and fellowship.
Invitations will be mailed in early April, and you can purchase tickets online at www.chapelwood.org/foundation by clicking on “Purchase Foundation Dinner Tickets.” You may also purchase tickets by mail by sending a check for $40 per ticket to: Chapelwood UMC Foundation, 11140 Greenbay St., Houston, TX 77024.

WILL YOU GIVE FIVE MINUTES A WEEK TO CHAPELWOOD?Did you know that it takes about five minutes to ride from one of the Shuttle Bus stops to Chapelwood on Sunday mornings?
We currently have two shuttle stops: one at Kinkaid High School and the other at Spring Branch Middle School. Every Sunday, there are four shuttles at each stop that travel back and forth to campus.
If you have never given the shuttles a try, would you consider riding one on the regular to open up more parking spaces for our visitors?
Once a week – five minutes on your part – will really benefit the continued success of our Sunday morning worship services and ministries. (See map on back cover, page 24)
SHUTTLE NEWSChapelwood’s shuttle buses have a new look! To make it easier to determine from a distance which buses go where, each bus will have at least one magnetic sign on its rear bumper indicating either “Spring Branch” (in orange) or “Kinkaid” (in purple).
In addition to the magnetic signs, there will be tall banners indicating the drop-off and pick-up points for each route at the church, and banners at each shuttle location. Same fast and friendly service, of course – nothing’s changing there.
If you haven’t tried a shuttle before, head to Kinkaid or Spring Branch Middle, look for the orange or purple sign, and hop on. We think you’ll be pleased.
