Nashville, TN—The Grief Center at Alive Hospice and Brentwood United Methodist Church are proud to announce a new partnership, which brings Alive Hospice grief support groups to the church’s campus. The first eight-week support group to be held at the church will be on Thursday evenings from September 14 through November 2 from 5:30-7:00 PM. The group is not loss-specific. It is open to any griever who has lost a loved one within the past two years. There is no fee, but space is limited. Pre-registration by phone is required. For registration or for more information, contact The Grief Center at Alive Hospice at 963-4732.
“We are delighted to form this partnership with Alive Hospice. Brentwood United Methodist Church continually looks for ways to meet community needs and when we realized there was a need for grief support services in the Brentwood area, we identified Alive Hospice as a natural partner to help us meet this need,” said Reverend Kaye Harvey, Pastor of Congregational Care. “I believe this partnership between two highly respected organizations will do so much for the Brentwood and Williamson County communities. Alive Hospice’s Grief Center counselors are experts in their field. It is exciting to know that we will have a presence at Brentwood United Methodist Church,” said Edie Rimas, Chief Operating Officer for Alive Hospice.
In addition to the support group offered at Brentwood United Methodist Church, The Grief Center at Alive Hospice will offer its regular Fall eight-week support groups at the Alive Hospice location on 1718 Patterson Street in Nashville. Support groups for bereaved spouses will meet on Mondays, September 11 through October 30, 10:00-11:30 a.m. and 5:30-7:00 p.m., and for general grief on Tuesdays, September 12 through October 31, from 5:30-7:00 p.m.

“Reflections of Peace” with the Brass Roots Trio, St. Mark’s United Methodist Church, September 14, 2006, 7:00 p.m.
On Thursday, September 14, 2006, 7:00 p.m., St. Mark’s United Methodist Church, Murfreesboro, will present “Reflections of Peace,” a Spirit-filled concert of music and word with the Brass Roots Trio.
St. Mark’s United Methodist Church is located at 1267 N. Rutherford Boulevard, Murfreesboro, Tennessee. For information about the concert and how to get to St. Mark’s UMC phone 615-893-3455.
The Brass Roots Trio
Pianist Rosetta Senkus Bacon, trumpeter Travis Heath, and French horn player/tenor Douglas Lundeen have brought together their musical experiences “to make a joyful noise unto the Lord.” They honor God with their music in a ministry that reaches beyond musical style or a certain religion to inspire and touch the hearts of the listeners.
The Brass Roots Trio has created a series of “Jazz Vespers” programs that have moved audiences around the world. A cross between concert and service, these uplifting and inspirational programs combine jazz arrangements of hymns and spirituals sprinkled with a few classical and baroque works along with readings from scripture and poetry.
With performances at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City, the Crystal Cathedral in California, Bath Abbey, Bristol Cathedral and Lincoln Cathedral in England, Oxford University, Cultural Centers of Taipei, St. Moritz and Kaunus, Banff Center in Canada, the Kennedy Center, Avery Fisher Hall, with major symphony orchestras, and on Broadway, members of the BRASS ROOTS TRIO have dazzled audiences around the globe.
Pianist Rosetta Senkus Bacon has performed extensively throughout North America, Europe and Asia with concerts at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, Taipei County Cultural Center in Taiwan, St. Moritz Cultural Center in Switzerland, and Kaunus Philharmonic Hall in Lithuania. A frequent guest at international festivals, Rosetta has served on faculties and performed at “The International Summer Chamber Music Festival” in Taiwan, and “The International School of Performing Arts” in Bucks County, PA where she accompanied Master Classes of Metropolitan Opera stars Sherrill Milnes and Gilda Cruz-Roma. She concertized with Metropolitan Opera soprano Judith Raskin and the internationally acclaimed Lithuanian clarinetist Algirdas Budrys. In a lighter vein she was one of the duo-pianists in “Side By Side By Sondheim” starring Arlene Francis and Hermione Gingold. A native of West Virginia, Rosetta graduated from West Virginia University and received a Masters Degree from the Manhattan School of Music in New York.
Since winning first prize in the International Trumpet Guild solo competition in 1995, Travis Heath has elicited rave reviews on performances from the concert stage and at jazz venues. His dazzling playing of Baroque masterpieces on the piccolo trumpet and the mellow sounds of his jazz improvisations has won him acclaim from audiences young and old. Travis played for the dedication of the PNC Symphony Hall in Fukui, Japan, has been a recitalist at the Banff Centre in Banff, Canada, and has performed at Carnegie Hall, NJ PAC, B.B. King’s, and the Guinness Jazz Festival in Cork, Ireland. He was a member of the brass ensembles Tapestry Brass and Crescendo and has toured and recorded with the contemporary ensemble TRUTH and the American Rhapsody Orchestra. In addition, he has performed with the Manhattan Chamber Orchestra, Ray Charles, Arturo Sandoval, and the Moody Blues. A native of Vero Beach, FL, Travis holds a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from Rutgers University.
Alongside his studies on the French horn, Douglas Lundeen began his musical training in opera in Manhattan, coaching with Metropolitan Opera assistant conductor Frank Basilice. It was maestro Basilice, whose father had been principal horn of the Met orchestra under Toscanini, who encouraged Doug to pursue a horn-playing career while he waited for his voice to mature. An engagement as Principal Horn with the Orquesta Naçional de Costa Rica began what has turned into a 35-year career as a hornist. Equally at home as a soloist, chamber player and orchestral musician on the modern horn, Doug is also one of the leading players in North America on the valveless natural horn. Since winning first prize for solo natural horn in the 1987 American Horn Competition, he has played principal horn in period instrument orchestras in New York City, San Francisco, Chicago, Montréal, Boston, and Washington, D.C., and has recordings on the Sony, Koch, Titanic, Hyperion, and Musical Heritage Society Labels. On the modern horn, Doug has played principal horn with orchestras in Cincinnati and Pittsburgh, in Philadelphia with Peter Nero and the Philly Pops and the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia, on Broadway with “Jekyll and Hyde” and “Aida,” and he is currently Principal Horn of the Princeton Symphony. In addition he has performed at the Mostly Mozart Festival in NY, the Gustav Mahler Festival in Paris, The Montreal Bach Festival, Thomaskirche in Leipzig, St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, and the Palao de la Musica in Valencia, Spain. He holds a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from Cincinnati Conservatory and is Associate Professor of Horn at the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University.

SUNDAY, AUGUST 27 AT 5:30 p.m. "OLD TESTAMENT REWIND" is coming to FOREST HILLS UNITED METHODIST CHURCH

The creation of the universe, the Garden of Eden, God's love and wrath, the wars, the conflicts, the flood, the exodus, the kings, the judges, the Promised Land and the Chosen People; and that just scratches the surface. It can be hard to read and harder to follow.

See the real Eve, Abraham, Noah, Joshua, and Solomon. Experience the parting of the Red Sea and the Land of Milk & Honey. How did that Serpent really deceive Eve? Why did those early Israelites have so much trouble following god's Word? These and many other questions will be answered in an entertaining manner that will be enjoyed whether you're 6 years old and just starting to learn about the bible, or 96 years old and think you've seen it all.
Trust us, you haven't.
There is limited seating for this event.
Tickets are $10 each and can be purchased by calling 373-313, or by visiting the Church Office at 1250 Old Hickory Blvd in Brentwood

Universal Worship Celebration Inter-faith Service, Smithville First United Methodist Church, August 29, 2006, 7:00 p.m.
Universal Worship Celebration
The Universal Worship Celebration is so named because it aims to promote the unity of religious ideals, and to give an opportunity to those belonging to different religions to worship together.
The Universal Worship is not another church to be included among the variety of existing churches - it is a celebration and an opportunity for those belonging to different religions to worship together to pay respect to the great ones who have come from time to time to help humanity. The different scriptures of those who have taught wisdom are read as part of the service.
On a central table are placed the scriptures of these religions: Christian, Hebrew, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist. Along with these texts are candles which will be lit. As the candles are lighted we all give thanks and offer respect to all the different teachers, religions, and scriptures. They teach us that there is one light and many lamps. It is not the lamps which should first be taken to the mind; it is the light which should first be taken to the heart.

Bethlehem United Methodist Church's annual Fish Fry, Friday, July 21, Williamson County's Longest Running Fish Fry
FRANKLIN, TN---The smell of fresh cooked catfish, music and laughter will soon be filling the air Friday, July 21 at Bethlehem United Methodist Church’s annual Fish Fry in Franklin, Tennessee.
A Middle Tennessee tradition for the past 32 years, the event is considered by many as Williamson County’s longest running Fish Fry. Tom Henry, Fish Fry chairman, said all-you-can eat catfish, wonderful live bluegrass music, an incredible silent and live auction as well as a fun-filled children’s area make it a great night of fellowship.
“This has become a favorite family tradition for middle Tennesseans. The fish are still swimming in a pond in Isola, Mississippi and will make its way up just in time to be served up fresh to almost 4,000 folks. Also on the menu are hush puppies and delicious cole slaw made from a secret recipe prepared by a committee of great cooks. It is such a fun time for so many great reasons and a portion of the proceeds benefits the missions of our church,” Henry said.
Back by popular demand is the Bethlehem Bluegrass Band organized and lead by talented church Music and Arts director, Harry Robinson.
While the dinner is the main attraction, the children’s area sports an inflatable obstacle course, giant slide, castle walk, games and more. More than 350 of the members are involved in the event and some of the best cooks in the Grassland area are participating in the bake sale.
“This is an old-time summer social where you’re guaranteed to have a great meal and loads of entertainment,” Henry said.
The Fish Fry is held on the church grounds off Old Hillsboro Road in the Grassland Area from 4:30 p.m. until 8 p.m. Tickets are $8.00 for adults in advance or $10.00 at the gate – children under 10 are $4.00. Carryout dinners are also available.
Bethlehem United Methodist Church is located at 2419 Bethlehem Loop Road near the intersection of Hillsboro and Old Hillsboro Roads in Franklin, Tennessee. For more information and tickets, contact the church at (615) 794-6721.

Hillcrest UMC Men's Annual Boston Butt Smokin', 4th of July
by Nancy Neelley
Can you imagine the 4th of July without the Stars and Stripes, fireworks, checkered tablecloths and juicy, slow smoked, pork BBQ from the Hillcrest Men’s Annual Boston Butt Smokin’? Of course not…it’s just down right un-American.
Even with the price of gas causing our pocketbooks a little distress, the Hillcrest Men are selling these succulent, 6 to 8 pound Boston Butts at the same low price of $20.00.
So why wait around and fret over what to eat for this big, beautiful national holiday, when all you’ve got to do is place your order now. There’s a couple of ways to do it: email your order to brian.sanderson@comcast.net or call your favorite Hillcrest Men’s member and order through him. Easy, huh?
And here’s a little July 4th idea: order, before we start smoking and we’ll throw in a second butt for only $20.00 more. That’s like getting two Boston Butts for $40.00 and the peace of mind to know you won’t run out of the main course this holiday.
All orders will be available for pickup between 9:00 am and 12:00 noon, July 1st at the Hillcrest United Methodist Church Christian Life Center, 5112 Raywood Lane, Nashville, TN 37211.
Don’t delay! Order yours today! It just doesn’t get any easier than this.

Antioch Area Church to Host Drive-In Movie
(Antioch) It's been a long time since people living in Nashville had access to a drive-in movie theater. These days people have to drive to Watertown to find a drive-in, one of the few left standing in the region. However, the people of the Antioch United Methodist Church want bring the drive-in movie a little closer to home, so on the first Fridays in June, July, and August, they will be hosting the Starlight Drive-In, their own version of a drive-in movie.
Church members will be mounting a projection screen on the old baseball backstop that sits at the edge of the parking lot of this local congregation. Then, weather permitting, they will be hosting family films and free popcorn for all comers. Attendees can bring lawn chairs and sit on the grass near the screen, or stay in their cars and listen to the movie via their FM radio. The church playground will be open for kids of all ages, and the church is working to have other refreshments provided for a small fee.
"We really want this to be a community event here in Antioch," said Jay Voorhees, pastor of the congregation. "Antioch doesn't have any outdoor programming in the local parks like some other neighborhoods in Nashville, so we hope that this might be a way for families to come together under the stars and have a great time together."Persons are asked to start gathering for the movies at 7:30 p.m., and the movie will start at dusk. Families are also invited to bring a picnic dinner early if they like, and use the playground until the movie begins.
The first movie scheduled for June 2 is "Because of Winn Dixie," starring Jeff Daniels, Cicely Tyson, Dave Matthews, Eva Marie Saint, and AnnaSophia Robb.
The Antioch United Methodist Church is located at 41 Tusculum Rd., one block off Blue Hole Rd. in Antioch. For more information, please call (615) 832-6248 or visit the church web site at www.antiochumc.net.
