Update from Pastor Dorrance on Taylorsville United Methodist Church
Update from Pastor Dorrance on Taylorsville United Methodist Church
Thursday, September 18, 2008
Dear Congregation:
These have been busy days at Taylorsville. We wanted a day when the office would be open every day of the week, well, that it has been the case, at least for this week ;)
Once again, Hearl, Bill and Karen Mitchell have done outstanding jobs in all of their work.
Today the police were out to talk to us some more. They have really been great.
Serv-pro has been cleaning up, you can hardly tell that something has happened in the sanctuary, and it is cleaner than it has been in a long time.All of the walls have been mopped down. We will be able to use the Sanctuary and the offices on Sunday, we will not have access to the basement.
Perhaps the most important event of the day was when our Bishop, Bishop Schol came to visit us this afternoon. He, along with our District Superintendent, Rev. Terri Rae Chattin, our guide Rev. William Chaney, and two other guides, Rev. Mary Dennis and Rev. Matthew Poole, were here at our church to pray with us and to anoint our worship space.
They anointed our doors, or altar, our cross and our Bible--all symbols that help remind us of our faith, and the one who made it all possible, Jesus Christ.
The Bishop told us of a time when he was young that the sanctuary where he worshipped was vandalized, and he still remembers those feelings. He also wanted to offer us words of encouragement and hope for the future.
We have pictures to show you on Sunday.
Many blessings
Pastor Sarah

About our Bishop
John Roland Schol is the Bishop of the Washington Area of The United Methodist Church.
Elected to this office in 2004, Bishop Schol provides leadership to almost 1,000 clergy and 200,000 lay people and oversees the administration, mission and minstry of the Baltimore-Washington Conference.
Before coming to the Baltimore-Washington Conference, Bishop Schol served as pastor of the West Chester United Methodist Church, in West Chester, Pa., near Philadelphia, since 1997. There he helped instill new vitality and vision in a declining downtown congregation, thus expanding its membership, facilities, mission involvement and witness for justice and compassion in the community.
From 1993-97, John Schol directed the Office of Urban Ministries at the denomination’s worldwide missions agency, the General Board of Global Ministries, in New York City. There, he led the development of two major initiatives that are still operating and still popular among many churches and conferences: a holistic urban ministry training program known as the Holy Boldness Urban Academy and the innovative, collaborative community development program known as Communities of Shalom. The latter ministry engages churches and communities in creative ministry together in urban and rural communities across the United States and in Africa.
After earning a Master of Divinity degree at Boston University School of Theology in 1981, Bishop Schol became executive director and pastor of the Frankford Group Ministry, a cooperative parish ministry in Philadelphia, from 1981 to 1993. He later earned a Doctor of Ministry degree from Boston in 1995.
Bishop Schol is a member of the board of trustees of Wesley Theological Seminary, American University and Sibley Hospital, in Washington D.C. He also serves on a number of United Methodist groups, including serving as chair of the General Board of Archives and History and the National Shalom Committee.
The architect of the Baltimore-Washington Conference's "Discipleship Adventure," Bishop Schol brings to the church a visionary, strategic mind, a servant-leader's spirit and a prophetic voice that expresses his faith in the transformative and renewing power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: September 17, 2008
TROOPERS ARREST TWO YOUTHS FOR CHURCH VANDALISM
(Taylorsville, MD) – Maryland State Police today arrested two teenagers in connection with the recent extensive vandalism and prior burglaries that occurred at a church in southwestern Carroll County.
Two juvenile males, ages 14 and 15, who both live in Carroll County, were arrested today by Maryland State Police investigators from the Westminster Barracks. Both are charged as juveniles with second degree burglary, malicious destruction of property and theft under $500. Both were referred to Department of Juvenile Services officials who released the older one to his parents and placed the other youth in a shelter.
The investigation focused on a series of crimes that occurred at the Taylorsville United Methodist Church, in the 4300-block of Ridge Road, in Taylorsville, Md. On August 11, 2008, the church had been entered after an air conditioning unit was removed. A ring of keys for the church had been removed. On August 23, a window in the nursery was forced open and the nursery area was ransacked. On September 7, numerous unlocked vehicles on the church parking lot were entered and change and other small items were removed.
The most significant incident occurred on September 14, when a breaking and entering occurred through a basement window that was broken out by the suspects. Once inside the church, extensive damage was done to computers, candles, copiers, and religious items. Fire extinguishers were discharged in the church and mustard was spread around the church floor. Damage to the church in this incident was estimated at $70,000.
State Police investigators conducted numerous interviews, neighborhood checks and examined evidence left at the scene during their intense investigation. The compilation of evidence led to the identification of the two suspects charged today. The case remains under active investigation. Additional charges are possible.

Damage found at Taylorsville United Methodist Church
TAYLORSVILLE — Police are looking for the person or people responsible for vandalism at Taylorsville United Methodist Church.
The church was vandalized sometime between Saturday night and early Sunday morning, said Detective Sgt. Jim DeWees of the Maryland State Police.
DeWees said church windows had been broken, screens were sliced and there was extensive damage to the church’s interior. The damage was so bad that the congregation held its service outside Sunday.
“You name it and it was destroyed,” he said.
[…]
John Quick, a 26-year church member, said congregants had worship under an oak tree on their front yard on Sunday.
Quick, who has served on the church’s board of trustees, said Taylorsville UMC has a forgiving heart.
[…]
Pastor Sarah Dorrance said the 75-member church wasn’t prepared to be outside on Sunday, but “nothing stops the service.”
For more information, call DeWees at 410-386-3000.

Tuesday, September 16, 2008 Update on Taylorsville United Methodist Church from Pastor Sarah Dorrance
My church and day-I guess I will be on a lot of news channels
I sent this to my congregation today:
September 16, 2008
Dear Congregation:
I don't want to fill your e-mail boxes with "stuff", but I want to keep you updated of happenings. Once again, Hearl Wright and Bill Harris deserve gold medals, please make sure you thank them for all their work. Karen Mitchell also spent the entire day at church helping the cleaners figure out what was needed.
The police have 4 guys working on the case. They are very busy. They were in contact with us throughout the day.
We had a cleaning crew that consisted of about 8 folks here today. The insurance folks met with us again, the electronics were taken out to be cleaned (including the downstairs keyboard), and everything that could be dry cleaned was taken out as well.
They have told us that we will be able to worship in the sanctuary on Sunday. The basement will probably not be ready.
I expect that we will have a big group of visitors on Sunday, so we will be wearing name tags ;)
Many people wanted to talk to us today, including Channel 2, Channel 45, Channel 5 and channel 11. You might see some of those interviews this evening at 5 pm or 10 or 11.
Please remember to keep all involved: those cleaning, the police force, those who caused this and our congregation in prayer.
I think God has something big in store for us as we rise out of the dust heap.
Grace and Peace

Update from Pastor Sarah Dorrance on repairing the damage from vandals at Taylorsville United Methodist Church
September 15, 2008
Dear Congregation:
I wanted to give you an update on events of today. First of all, many thanks to Hearl Wright and Bill Harris who have been working very hard to get the proper things in place. They have done a great job. Kudos Hearl and Bill! Thanks to you, the congregation too, for your patience and prayers.
This morning the insurance adjusters met with Bill and took a look at the extent of the damage. They recommended a professional cleaning company to begin the clean up process. That company will begin first thing tomorrow morning.
They've asked that we not be there during the initial clean up, as that will hinder their work. They will clean every thing up, and then put it in bags so that we can figure out where it belonged. (That is where we might need to help out.)
Things that are damaged beyond repair will go into portable #3 for now, until we can replace them. Insurance is working very closely with us. The best news is that they are fairly sure that we will be in the sanctuary to worship on Sunday morning!
(The basement and other rooms will not be ready yet--so adult Sunday Schools will have to be in the Education Building. Don't worry, the sofas are really comfortable there!)
The police have also been working very hard to solve this case…
[…]
The head police investigator offered to come talk to our congregation on Sunday morning, before worship begins to talk about what they are doing in terms of patrolling the area. They will be sending in cars frequently for the time being.
You should know that MANY churches and pastors of churches have called to offer their condolences and their prayers. MANY have offered hands on help to clean up. There is even one youth group that I have heard of that wants to help us clean up. God stands firm with us, even in the midst of trials.
Please continue to pray for our church, our community, our police force and the ones who caused it all. Oh, and maybe some sleep for Hearl and Bill, too ;)
Many blessings
Pastor Sarah Dorrance

Today at Taylorsville UMC Sept 14, 2008
Dear Congregation:
If you were at church this morning, you already know that a very unpleasant surprise was waiting for us upon arrival for worship this morning. Overnight we had been seriously vandalized. Our sanctuary could not be used to hold worship this morning.
God meets us in our times of trial, and this morning was no exception. I thank everyone who helped pull worship together. We worshiped outside in the beauty of our own front lawn, under the tree. Just as the LORD met Abraham by the oaks of Mamre (Genesis 18:1), so too, the LORD met us by the maple of TUMC. Thank you all for being flexible, but mostly thank you for coming together to be the church in the midst of crisis---the church is not the building, it is the members of the congregation who form the body of Christ.
We used both Isaiah 40: 1-11 and Psalm 137 to give our hearts time to cry out in the hurt and confusion of being violated. You are encouraged to reread these verses at home. (The full message from this morning will be put up on our web site by the end of Sunday. You can hear the words again, and you can certainly hear many cars driving by too;)
You should know that this afternoon the Rev. Terri Rae Chattin, who is our District Superintendent came by to look at what had happened. She, along with our conference guide, Rev. William Chaney and our Bishop, Rev. John Schol join together to unite with us in prayer. They are very concerned about our well being and want to offer us encouragement and support.
I ask you to join me in praying for our congregation and what steps God would have us take next. I also ask that you each search deep in your own hearts for where you are: pray for comfort and guidance for each other, and pray for soften hearts so that we can move forward and forgive those who have violated our space. Also, pray for the one (or ones) who are so angry at the world that they need to act out in destruction.
We will keep you updated during the week as to progress that is being made. Tomorrow, we are hoping that the insurance adjusters will come in. We hope to have a day of clean up soon, and we will be asking folks to come help, if they have some free time.
Keep one another lifted up in prayer.
Grace and Peace

On Monday, June 30, 2008 Pastor Sarah Dorrance picked up the keys to the Taylorsville United Methodist Church.
She began her first day in the office on Tuesday, July 1, 2008.
In her message to the congregation of Taylorsville United Methodist Church on the church’s web site, she noted:
This is a time of change at Taylorsville UMC.
Rev. Stephen White is retiring as of June 30th, and Rev. Sarah B. Dorrance will begin as pastor on July 1st, 2008.
It is the wish and desire of both pastors to make this transition as smooth and seamless as possible.
Take time to celebrate what each person in this church has done. Take time to celebrate the wonderful heritage that both pastors and congregation accomplished at Taylorsville—take time to thank God for all that God has done in the life of this congregation, and all that God will do in the future!
Rev. Dorrance was in international marketing prior to going into the ministry.
She graduated from Wesley Theological Seminary with a M. Div this past May and was be commissioned as a Probationary Elder of the Baltimore-Washington Conference.
Rev. Dorrance has a passion for mission, teaching, preaching and discipleship in the local church.
She has served on the Latino Advisory Board for the Frederick District, has been an intern at Faithpoint UMC, and was instrumental in bringing her home church, Calvary UMC in Mt. Airy, to a new level of serving in the mission field.
She has also directed the youth choir at Calvary UMC for the past 10 years. Rev. Dorrance recently co-authored a book titled “Reclaiming the Wesleyan Tradition: John Wesley’s sermons for Today.”
She is very excited about receiving her first full-time appointment at Taylorsville UMC.
Taylorsville United Methodist Church, in Mt. Airy, has been serving the people of western Carroll County for more than 125 years. The average worship attendance is 79.
The church’s United Methodist Men and Women serve the community and world through outreach programs, work projects, and mission activities. Church activities also include Vacation Bible School, a mother-daughter banquet, Christmas bazaar, Bible study groups, Friday Family Game Nite, and an annual church picnic.
The congregation supports missionaries in Alaska, Turkey, China and India. Taylorsville is continuing to search for ways in which they can reach out to the community to invite people to experience God’s love through the ministry of the church.
She began her first day in the office on Tuesday, July 1, 2008.
In her message to the congregation of Taylorsville United Methodist Church on the church’s web site, she noted:

It is the wish and desire of both pastors to make this transition as smooth and seamless as possible.
Take time to celebrate what each person in this church has done. Take time to celebrate the wonderful heritage that both pastors and congregation accomplished at Taylorsville—take time to thank God for all that God has done in the life of this congregation, and all that God will do in the future!
Rev. Dorrance was in international marketing prior to going into the ministry.
She graduated from Wesley Theological Seminary with a M. Div this past May and was be commissioned as a Probationary Elder of the Baltimore-Washington Conference.
Rev. Dorrance has a passion for mission, teaching, preaching and discipleship in the local church.
She has served on the Latino Advisory Board for the Frederick District, has been an intern at Faithpoint UMC, and was instrumental in bringing her home church, Calvary UMC in Mt. Airy, to a new level of serving in the mission field.
She has also directed the youth choir at Calvary UMC for the past 10 years. Rev. Dorrance recently co-authored a book titled “Reclaiming the Wesleyan Tradition: John Wesley’s sermons for Today.”
She is very excited about receiving her first full-time appointment at Taylorsville UMC.
Taylorsville United Methodist Church, in Mt. Airy, has been serving the people of western Carroll County for more than 125 years. The average worship attendance is 79.
The church’s United Methodist Men and Women serve the community and world through outreach programs, work projects, and mission activities. Church activities also include Vacation Bible School, a mother-daughter banquet, Christmas bazaar, Bible study groups, Friday Family Game Nite, and an annual church picnic.
The congregation supports missionaries in Alaska, Turkey, China and India. Taylorsville is continuing to search for ways in which they can reach out to the community to invite people to experience God’s love through the ministry of the church.
