Wilma learned that there is a way to make a more lasting impact. How? Through an ENDOWMENT. What is an endowment? An endowment is a gift that provides funds for ACV every year from now on. ACV invests the funds conservatively and each year, a portion of the earnings and/or principal is used to support the purpose chosen by the donor. That‘s every year…until the end of time. And they preserve the memory of the donor or someone they love long after their lifetime. You can establish an endowment beginning with a gift of $10,000. Don‘t have $10,000? You can give over a period of up to three years, and you can ask others to join you in giving toward it as well. Once the $10,000 minimum has been reached, you can name the fund for yourself or in honor or memory of a loved one. You also choose the area that the earnings support: benevolence, special programs and services, equipment purchases or facility upkeep to name a few. There are several options in giving toward endowment and you can add to it as often as you want after it is established. Wilma learned that endowments are becoming increasingly more important in sustaining strong charitable organizations like ACV. They help give stability during unpredictable economic times. When Wilma discovered that by establishing an endowment she could secure ACV‘s ministry for years to come she couldn‘t wait to do so. Build your legacy while ensuring ACV‘s future.

The selections chosen for June 4 — all in keeping with the military salute theme — will fill the audience‘s imaginations with images of honor, heroism, chivalry, and sacrifice. Some notable pieces are John Philip Sousa‘s Semper Fidelis march; John Edmondson‘s arrangement of the Navy hymn, ―Eternal Father, Strong to Save‖; and the theme from the movie Gettysburg by Randy Edelman. The Gainesville Pops has been entertaining north Florida audiences since its formation in 2008. The ensemble is comprised of professional musicians, music educators, and serious hobbyists, all from Gainesville, Florida. ACV is excited to host this very talented group of musicians.

As Christians, we believe God‘s word is sufficient and powerful to address all of our anxieties. We believe God‘s word is sufficient to meet all of our needs. This summer we will be studying the Psalms during morning worship. The Book of Psalms was the divinely inspired hymnal for the people of Israel, and the early Christians sang and prayed the Psalms as well (Colossians 3:16; 1 Corinthians 14:26). As we search for things like identity, happiness and certainty, and as we wrestle with problems of anxiety, guilt and injustice, we can turn to these ancient hymns to find clarity and understanding for today. This Sunday we begin the series, ―Modern Problems; Ancient Solutions.‖ We encourage you to be reading in the Psalms daily this summer, and as you pray for the careful unfolding of God‘s Holy Word, may your heart sing with David, ―Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord, my soul (Ps 146:1).‖ - Pastor Jason EVENING WORSHIP: Join us Sundays at 6:00 p.m. in BC this summer for evening worship. Rev. Ray Penney will preach in June and Rev.

NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS BUTTERFIELD ACRES Brenda Reas, Reporter We wish a happy birthday to Josh Coombs on June 5 and to Lew Campbell on June 8. May it be a very good year. Cheryl Gilroy reports that last week a group of friends met together at the HC to welcome back Hannah Halloran Ellis, who was visiting with her husband, Steve, and their four boys. Included in the group were Jim and Cheryl Gilroy, Charissa McDaniels Setzer, Lisa Hanusek Gill, Emily Grillo Peacock, and Ali Serrano Chapman. All of these girls were a part of the youth here at ACV when Jim was the youth pastor at the VC. They enjoyed catching up, looking at old pictures of the youth group, and eating potluck appetizers. Billy had been misbehaving and was sent to his room. After a while he emerged and informed his mother that he had thought it over and then said a prayer. ―Fine,‖ said the pleased mother. ―If you ask God to help you not misbehave, He will help you.‖ ―Oh, I didn't ask Him to help me not misbehave,‖ said Billy. ―I asked Him to help you put up with me.‖ Please send news to [email protected] or call 658-3044.

We will miss them very much. The party was a success! There were all kinds of yummy treats that people brought to share. Cushman Bryant opened the party with a prayer. He asked God to bless them in their travels. We know that God will watch over them and keep them safe. Thank you residents of CH for giving me items to write about for the FNN. Call me at 249-5774 if you have an item for the FNN. DOWLING HOUSE Janice Chapman, Reporter Happy birthday to Ed Smith on Wed., June 1. We trust you have a good day and wish for you many of God‘s blessings in the year ahead. We continue to frequently have new residents moving into DH. Elizabeth (Libby) Weaver joined our number on Wed., May 25. Her daughter, Cindy Page from Kansas, was here with her friend to facilitate her move. We welcome you, Libby, and trust you will enjoy living among us as we become better acquainted. Libby‘s husband, Paul, is in GSC. Paul taught history in his career. Libby was a homemaker and often did child care at home or in a church facility. She played the piano and gave lessons as she had the opportunity. After the children left home, Libby often accompanied Paul to his teaching duties, assisting where most needed. When Paul retired they decided to join the rest of the family who had already moved to Dowling Park. They quickly became involved in the larger community of Dowling Park. They are members of the Dowling Park Church of God. They volunteered in Twice Nice during summers. Libby DACIER MANOR Beth Smith, Reporter We are completing May and now running into June! It has been especially busy with staffing with end of year school awards and programs! Congratulations to so many children and youth for their outstanding academic school year! Several have also been involved with extra-curricular activities, such as dance, soccer, softball, and baseball. Yes, our children keep our staff very busy along with their busy work responsibilities! 8 and Paul have also been active in holding a monthly service at GSC with her aunt, Eunice Greene. They now attend the worship service at GSC together on Sundays. Welcome Libby to our DH family. Make her acquaintance and help her to feel comfortable among us. Joanne Badstibner enjoyed family members, from Live Oak, who joined her for the Memorial Day buffet at the RDR. It‘s special when our friends and family visit. Judy Smith was visited May 28-30 by daughters Mai Smith of Fort Mill, SC, and Janet Fields of Rock Hill, SC, as well as Mai‘s children, Davis and Carrie and Dave‘s friend, Nick Crosby also of Fort Mill. While Judy enjoyed visiting with her daughters, the kids enjoyed canoeing, playing basketball, swimming, and exploring the river. Gladys Ezell had a special weekend. Mike and Barbara Breaux and their children from Lake Charles, LA, had lunch with her on Memorial Day. They were on their way home from vacationing at Disney World. Gladys was excited to see them. Over the years Gladys has helped Mike and even took him to enroll in college. He and his wife have good jobs and three lovely children. He has been special to Gladys so this was a treat getting to see him again with his family. They had a lunch with Gladys in the RDR on Memorial Day. They were impressed with the Village and happy she has a great place to live. Gladys appreciates Jackie Campbell taking them on a tour of the Village on her holiday.

PARK OF THE PINES Betsy Reynolds, Reporter It is with great sorrow that I resign my responsibility as the POP reporter. I am no longer able to write the articles due to the advance of my cancer. It‘s been a joy and I thank you for all the encouragement you have given me over the past few years. Therefore the position is now open for anyone who is interested in picking up the sword. RIVERVIEW APARTMENTS Jean Templeton, Reporter We talked about Memorial Day, which was called Decoration Day when we were growing up, and at school we observed a ―quiet time‖ in memory of those who had lost their lives to preserve our freedom. Some of us had relatives who died while serving in our Armed Forces. While parades are still held in many cities and flags placed on graves of veterans, there always seems to be picnics, family gatherings and sporting events. Memorial Day is recognized as the start of the summer season and when wearing white clothing, especially shoes, is acceptable. (Most of us thought this strange, since we don‘t really wait until May 30 to do this!) Memorial Day was started as a way to honor Union soldiers who died during the American Civil War, but after WWI and WWII it was held on May 30 in honor of all veterans. In 1968 the Uniform Holidays Bill was passed as part of a move to use federal holidays to create three-day weekends. So since 1971 Memorial Day has been officially observed on the last Mon. in May. We enjoy the American flags hanging by our entrance. DOWLING MANOR/ NORTH PARK NORTH Gayle Jones, Reporter Memorial Day has come and gone for another year. Many of us have strong memories of this day for different reasons, but all think of it as a day to remember loved ones. God bless those of you who have lost family members in the wars past and that are rampant in our world today. Many of us have memories of what we knew as ―Decoration Day:‖ a time for parades and flags, family picnics and going to the cemetery to place flowers on the graves of our relatives gone but not forgotten; a nostalgic memory of special days and times long gone. We trust you were with family and/or friends for this special day in our country. Last Wed. we were privileged to see and hear the Suwannee Elementary 3rd grade chorus and Suwannee Middle School Concert and Jazz Band present their Spring Concert at the VC.
