the local church and community. Nominations
are reviewed, and a selection is made by a committee consisting of the pastor,
the Lay Leader, and the last five recipients. Nominations are normally accepted in the late fall and are closed for this year. A plaque with the names of
previous Amity UMC Lay Persons of the Year can be found on the wall in the West
vestibule. Past recipients have been: 1983 – Ike Reynolds 1990 – Will Heiser 1991 – Norm Fitzgerald 1992 – Dot Reynolds 1993 – Nancy Moore 1994 – Sybil Skakle 1995 – David Cole 1996 – Jo Baker 1997 – Roger Shumate 1998 – Lindy Sparrow 1999 – Lynn Trogdon &

Return to top The Pastor's Discretionary Fund was established to assist the needy in our congregation and community. It receives no regular funds from the church and is fully supported by your contributions. In order to be good stewards, most distributions are limited to $25 - $50 and paid directly to the vendor for bills. Checks are rarely given directly to the beneficiaries. Contributions left at the altar during communion benefit the Discretion Fund. To make a contribution, please note “PDF” on your check or offering envelope.

Anh doesn’t just walk the walk (Avon Walk that is), she also talks the

Here is the movie trailer for "Blood Done
Sign My Name," which will be released in limited distribution on February
19.
http://www.bvonmovies.com/2010/01/26/trailer-premiere-blood-done-sign-my-name-nate-parker-ben-chavis/ Watch the trailer closely and you will see Rev. Tyson in the jury box, and perhaps others you know.
"Blood Done Sign My
Name" stars Rick Schroeder as author Dr. Tim Tyson's father, Rev.
Vernon Tyson, and Nate Parker as Ben Chavis. Based on the book of the same
name, this autobiographical account recalls the 1970 racial murder of Henry
Marrow, the racial unrest that followed the acquittal of three white
suspects, and Rev. Tyson’s ministry of reconciliation during that period. Rev. Tyson was Amity's interim minister Jan - June 2008. Tim led our Lent 2009 study, "The Cross in Black and White," which brought in over 50 community members eager to study Southern Christianity in the context of race relations. This year's Lenten series will expand on our outreach efforts by bringing in community leaders to talk primarily about issues of social justice.
If you are not familiar with the back-story of
"Blood Done Sign My Name," here's a wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_Done_Sign_My_Name

Here's a You Tube clip about the filming of
the movie in which Tim specifically talks about John Hope Franklin:
