LETTER FROM PASTOR MARK
Dear Friends,
Greetings and peace to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We’re entering a season of gratitude, expecta-tion, and joy. These three attributes are at the core of our faith, and when practiced they have the power to transform our lives. Let’s take time and reflect on these important spiritual disciplines that bring strength to our spirituality.
There is power found in gratitude. Henri Nouwen writes "Gratitude goes beyond the 'mine' and the 'thine' and claims the truth that all of life is a pure gift. In the past, I always thought of gratitude as a spontaneous response to the awareness of gifts received, but now I realize that gratitude can also be lived as a discipline. The discipline of gratitude is the explicit effort to acknowledge that all I am and have is given to me as a gift of love, a gift to be cele-brated with joy." When was the last time you slowed yourself down and acknowledged that gift?
The season of the harvest is a beautiful metaphor reminding us that we have been blessed. Whether that har-vest is great or small, the Creator has blessed us with love and grace, and such gifts need to be shared. The holiday of Thanksgiving was born in the midst of the Civil War, and it becomes a reminder to us that we can live in gratitude even in the midst of difficulty, that we can find blessing even in the midst of pain. Perhaps our blessings have less to do with the list of all the things we have and more to do with the very gift of life, the gift of love, and the gift of God's loving presence with us.
There is the power found in expectation. Mary embodies this spirit when she sings in thanksgiving for her blessings in the midst of dealing with all the fallout of her pregnancy with Jesus: a fiancé who isn't sure if he can trust her and stay with her, a community judging her harshly as an unwed teenage mother in a time when that was considered unacceptable. All that is true, and yet she sings: "My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has looked with favor on the low-liness of his servants. Surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed." (Luke 1:46-48).
Her spirit rejoices in divine expectation that God was going to do something amazing in her life that will bring hope and redemption to a broken world. How can we cultivate this practice of gratitude and expectation not through comparisons but through the awareness of God with us?
Finally, there is the power found in joy! Christmas should focus our hearts on the reconciling work of Christ. Paul couches the coming of Christ in terms of reconcilia-tion. "God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself" (2 Corinthians 5:19). Any cel-ebration of Christ should reflect the core purpose of His coming, and that was to recon-cile God to the world. There is joy in knowing that God so loved creation that He sent His only Son to the world, to bring forgiveness and reconciliation to all!
Let us journey together as we welcome this season of gratitude, expectation and joy into our lives. Wishing all of you God’s richest blessings!
Shalom, Pastor Mark

YOUTH 2019 · July 10-14, 2019
Y19 or Youth 2019 stands for the National Youth Gathering for United Methodist Youth in the United States. This event occurs every 4 years and is ap-proaching July 10-14, 2019. We had 13 from our youth group attend the National Youth Gathering back in 2015 and we hope to have another group attend this up-coming summer. Youth2019 takes place in Kansas City, Missouri and is available to all current 6th gr - 12th gr (2018-2019 school year). There are mission and service opportunities, prayer stations, fun fellowship time, Chris-tian concerts, etc. The only cost to attend is $150 per youth which includes Y19 registration, transportation, hotel and some food - as well as your participation in trip fundraisers. DEADLINE to sign up is Wednesday, November 28, 2018. If interested please touch base with Kristi for more details. :-)
WE ARE ON A MISSION…
Many mission opportunities are available for our congregation to participate in. If you don’t feel drawn to any of our current projects you can always suggest another one. The world is in dire need of the Love of Christ. Mis-sions is simply putting our hands, feet, talents, gifts, and yes, money, to work to express the Love that God has for a lost and dying world. Each of us is under an obligation to spread the Good News. Our entire denomination is built on this principal. Giving of your resources to fund the Warming Shelter, Food Pantry, Salvation Army, Our Kids, UMCOR, and multiple other programs and projects is greatly appreciated, BUT we also have the ability to get more hands on. We can throw our whole body and soul into this work.
The Rainbow Covenant is an example. Each band of the rainbow rep-resents a different arena of mission opportunity. This gives each of us an avenue to follow our passion. Red is Local Mission; Yellow is Conference Pro-jects; Blue is International Advance Projects; Violet is UMCOR; Orange is Special Sundays; Green is Nation Advance Projects; Indigo is In Mission To-gether; and Burgundy is Missionary Support. As you can see, we are already doing several bands of color. One of our biggest obstacles is we MUST pay
our apportionments in full each year. Our church family can do this! Let’s work together to make this happen and have our Love for Christ have an impact around the world. Thank you to those that have stepped up and taken a Saturday at Pillars Adult Shelter (formerly known as Fox Valley Warming Shelter). There are still dates available, including December 15. There are many ways you can help – cooking, serving, praying, donating etc. Contact Becky or the church office to pick your date. Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays are wonderful and joyous for most of us; however many of our neigh-bors are in need and face a bleak season. Giving opportunities abound for our church. Look around you and pick one that you are comfortable with. Don’t forget to have fun also; the craft sale and our famous cream puff sale generate funds for mission projects. What could be easier?! Don’t forget to recycle your aluminum cans for missions. Just throw them in the bin by the edge of the driveway.
Looking ahead the Mission committee would like to plan a working mission trip to the Midwest Distribution Center near Springfield, Illinois. Your help is needed – we must register in advance to be put on the calen-dar to schedule the date and length of stay. Once we make a commitment and send in our deposit ($20 per person non-refundable) we can obtain a date(s). We must know the level of interest and how long you would like
to stay – a day or two or up to a week or two. There is a dormitory with kitchen facilities. Work days are Monday- Friday 8:30-4:30 with an hour lunch. Ages 11 and up are welcome. Please contact Becky or the office for more de-tails and to sign up. (We know – depending on the date you may not be able to attend.) A brochure is available on the bulletin board. Continue to pray for our outreach and mission projects and pray for discernment as to how you can become an integral part of God’s mission to the world. God Bless, Becky Mueller (920-464-0320)
