Friends, Family
& Neighbors
Creedmoor United Methodist Church has a new
astor. He is the Rev. Jared Hanson. He is the former
ssociate Christian Education Pastor at Pine Valley
MC in Wilmington, NC, from 2009-2013.
The Rev. Hanson, originally from Ohio, moved to
Durham with his family when he was eight years old
and considers this posting as having come full circle.
“I consider this area home territory,” he says.
He is a graduate of NC State University, with a
Bachelor of Arts Degree in Philosophy.
Originally in college to work his way into the film
industry, the Rev. Hanson said that fellow filmmakers
were more interested in his views on life and the
Church.
“People on movie sets would want to talk to me
about God, faith, doubts, etc., and my then pastor at
First Baptist Church in Raleigh told me he thought I
had the gifts and skills to go into the ministry,” he
says.
After graduating from Duke Divinity School in
2004, the Rev. Hanson became pastor of Fairview
UMC in Elon for five years. He says a small church
was a good place to “get the fundamentals of ministry
and how to run a church on a day-to-day basis.”
After five years in Elon, the Rev. Hanson, his wife,
Jenny, and their children moved to Wilmington for his
assignment as the Christian Education Pastor of the
significantly larger Pine Valley UMC.
“I was responsible for Christian Education from
cradle to grave, overseeing children’s ministries, adult
Bible studies, etc., “ he says.
The experience was a good one for the pastor.
“Coming from a smaller church in Elon, I learned
just how different churches can be run, based on the
size and needs of the different congregations,” the Rev.
anson says.
After the four-year assignment in Wilmington, the
ev. Hanson was then given the opportunity to become
he current pastor at Creedmoor UMC.
“I was ready to be a pastor at a place larger than
y first church,” he says.
The Rev. Hanson’s tenure began on June 25th of
his year. In the four months that have followed, he
as been able to begin to gauge the unique needs of
is new congregation, and, by extension, his new
ometown.
“I’ve noticed Creedmoor is in a time of transition
nd growth,” he says. “In the church, we are
xperiencing a transition of leadership and growth of
ounger families, and just learning how to navigate
hose changes.”
When asked where he sees Creedmoor UMC going
n the next five years, the pastor was optimistic.
“I just see this church growing in our influence,
haring God’s love with the rich and the poor alike,
eing a ministry to schools and other community
rganizations.”
Creedmoor UMC is located at 214 Park Avenue.
he church website is www.creedmoorumc.com, and
he phone number is 919-528-3987.
The Rev. Jared Hanson, the new pastor of Creedmoor United
Methodist Church, and his wife, Jenny, are on the back row
with their daughter, Emily. The couple’s sons, Parker and
Henry, are in front.

Your Week Ahead Horoscope
Oct. 18, 2013 - Oct. 24, 2013
by Lasha Seniuk
ARIES (March 21-
April 19): You could need
to see an optometrist
because you may mistake
the carrot for the stick. In
the week ahead, you
should avoid giving in to
temptations or making
changes on the spur of the
moment.
TAURUS (April 20-
May 20): Consider what's
best for everyone before
you take action in the
upcoming week. A
generous spirit will act as
a shield against
competitors and offers an
ambitious partner
necessary assistance.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20): You are as good as
you think you are. At the
same time, your
confidence about your
abilities might lead you to
be overly generous or
careless with cash in the
week to come. Spread
good will but not money.
CANCER (June 21-
July 22): Rise above petty
issues or irrational fears.
You could yoyo between
optimism and pessimism.
Put on your thinking cap
later this week to make a
wise decision that will
have a long-range positive
effect.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):
You might not be a
ballerina but you should
still stay on your toes.
Your ability to act with a
creative flair is enhanced
in the week ahead. Write
down inspirations and
ideas, as they may be
useful in the future.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22): Secrecy and trust can
work together. Prove your
worth to allies by
remaining discreet.
Sometime after the
middle of the week is the
best time to launch key
strategies and make your
move for career success.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.
22): Truth and honesty
will take you far in the
upcoming week. Activities
within the community
may bring satisfaction. Be
cautious about spending,
but don't be bashful about
displaying your talents.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-
Nov. 21): Don't fall prey
to unfounded fears. You
may worry that too
many ears are
connected to too many
mouths. Put important
plans into motion later
in the week, when your
confidence is at a higher
point.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
22-Dec. 21): Carry on
and carry through on
contracts, promises and
agreements in the week
ahead. Your bank
account can move into
the black if you play
your cards right. New
contacts upgrade your
social life.
CAPRICORN (Dec.
22-Jan. 19): Make
yourself into a money
magnet. You could be
intuitively at the right
place at the right time to
score big time in the
world of commerce if you
don't take unnecessary
risks in the week ahead.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-
Feb. 18): Ignore
unsubstantiated
feelings of discomfort or
worry. You could seem
too high strung or
changeful to others in
the upcoming week.
Find some quiet time to
meditate and return to
your solid center.
PISCES (Feb. 19-
March 20): Look for
opportunities to
upgrade your public
image in the coming
week. To do this,
concentrate on
developing viable and
worthy goals rather
than trying to be a
shrewd business person.
