For the past 19 years the people of the Antioch United Methodist Church have gathered on hill located at 41 Tusculum Rd. to sponsor an event that has become a community tradition. The Antioch United Methodist Church Fall Fair is an opportunity for persons of all ages and backgrounds to come together for fun, shopping, food, play, and fellowship, and we want to invite all of our United Methodist brothers and sisters in the region to join us.
Describing our Fall Fair is difficult for there are almost too many things to mention. Here are some of things you will experience if you come:
+A live auction of donated items to the church, including theme baskets created by the people of the church, home made furniture and crafts, and all sorts of other things.
+A silent auction featuring a variety of goods and services.
+A crafts store featuring great crafts and knicknacks for the holidays.
+A Farmer's Market featuring a variety of fresh produce and home-made jams and jellies.
+A Country Store featuring the finest baked goods in all of South Nashville.
+A Flea Market where you can haggle over your new found treasure that was someone else's junk.
+Breakfast in the morning and a barbecue feast beginning at 10:30 a.m.
+A children's midway area featuring inflatables, pony rides, games, and free popcorn.
As a gift to our United Methodist clergy and their staffs, we want to offer you the opportunity to have a meal on us. Please visit www.fallfair.antiochumc.net and click on the link that says TN Conference Clergy to complete a form letting us know that you are coming. We will then e-mail you up to four tickets for the meal. You may also call the church office at (615) 832-6248 to make your reservation for up to four folks.
The proceeds for the AUMC Fall Fair are shared between our conference apportionments, grants for local service ministries, and congregational needs. Last year's proceeds went to help Habitat for Humanity, Community Care Fellowship, The Campus for Human Development, and Rooftop ministries.
We look forward to seeing you on October 7.

Discover a place of quiet and re-creation using centering prayer, guided meditation, guided labyrinth prayer walks, laying on hands in prayer using the Usui Method of Natural Healing* to balance your body's energy system.
For Questions or Appointments: contact Jo Reece 615-367-3586 (h) 943-9092 (c) or MinisterMama@juno.com Rev. Reece is a Deacon in Full Connection in The Tennessee Conference and appointed to The United Methodist Publishing House as Editor of Children’s Teacher magazine.
Donations for retreats are suggested but not required:

Retreat gift certificates also available.
*This ancient healing art involves intercessory prayer while laying on hands guided by the energy/nerve centers of the body through which energy flows, similar to acupressure, acupuncture, healing touch, and therapeutic touch taught in nursing schools across the country. It complements other forms of treatment in a growing number of medical facilities around the world. Rediscovered by Dr. Mikao Usui, a Japanese Christian teacher in the early 1900s, Reiki is a Japanese word that means universal life force energy. Imbalances in your energy flow may cause illness, stress, pain or simply a difficult day. By balancing your energy flow, your own body is better able to deal with challenges to the body, mind and spirit that may arise in your daily life.
For intercessory prayer using the Usui Method, a person wears loose comfortable clothing. In a quiet atmosphere with gentle music, this non-intrusive hands-on healing involves the placing of the practitioner’s hand with little or no pressure on or above the energy/nerve centers of the body located on your head, shoulders, back, chest, stomach and limbs. Results often include deep relaxation, a sense of calm or deep sleep. Rev. Reece considers the Usui Method of Natural Healing, or Reiki, one important part of a profound prayer experience and apprenticed for 18 months to become a Traditional Reiki Master Teacher.

Antioch United Methodist Church Celebrates 25 Years With Homecoming November 12th
Twenty-five years ago, on Sunday, November 1, 1981, the people of the Antioch United Methodist Church took a walk as a part of their worship service. They started at their historic building on Antioch Pike, closing the doors behind them, and up the hill to 41 Tusculum Rd., where a new facility awaited them. They had been working for the better part of a year to clear the land and build a new building after experiencing several floods from Mill Creek at their old location. Since that time, the Antioch United Methodist Church has stood as a beacon of love and concern for the people of Antioch on that hill on Tusculum Rd.
In celebration of twenty-five years in their building, the people of the Antioch United Methodist Church are pleased to announce their 25th Anniversary Homecoming on Sunday, November 12, 2006. The day will begin with a special service of worship featuring Bishop Joseph Pennell preaching, and the Rev. Garry Speich (Nashville District Superintendent) assisting. Special music will be offered by church members and the church choir, and communion will be shared as a part of the celebration.
Following the worship service, there will be a special "Dinner on the Grounds" featuring food from the members of the church.
"There is a lot of love and pride in this place," said the Rev. Jay Voorhees, pastor of the congregation. "Some of our members used to spend the night up here, camping out during construction to provide security for the site. There are lots of great memories associated with this place."
The congregation wants to offer a special invitation to anyone who has ever been a member of, or attended Antioch UMC in any fashion, to come be a part of these festivities.
The church is located at 41 Tusculum Rd. in Antioch. You may call (615) 832-6248 for more information, or visit the church website at www.antiochumc.net.
