James 1:17-18: Every good and perfect gi is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like

shi ing shadows. He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, so we might be a kind of first-fruits of all that He created.

Dear Friends, Throughout November, most of us will be making plans for Thanksgiving. It’s a beau ful me of year which requires a lot of energy, effort, and resources to make it work as a perfect family feast. I admire Americans for giving to the world a table of gra tude. It’s a wonderful day which has also become special to me and my family. During October, I have been teaching a Sunday school class about the faith of our Presidents. Ever since George Washington’s me, our leaders have had to write a Thanksgiving Proclama on each November. It’s fascina ng to see how ideas about celebra ng and keeping Thanksgiving change through the years. Ini ally, our Presidents proclaimed that all work should stop and that people should go to their churches to give thanks to God on behalf of the na on. Lately, the proclama ons have been more about ge ng together with family and celebra ng good mes. At Erin, we should be truly thankful for all of the blessings that God has given us in recent years. We’ve completed a lot of the tasks that we undertook several years ago and God has constantly upheld our work. Erin people have given a lot of their me, effort, and money to help fulfill the building and renewal projects that we envisioned. Our church is now in a perfect posi on to launch into our community and a ract others to worship with us. We need to seriously think about who we can invite to church, not just on special occasions like Thanksgiving and Christmas, but every Sunday. If each person in our congrega on was to invite and bring just one other family member, friend, or neighbor to church in the next six months, then we could theore cally double our numbers within a year. That’s all it takes – that’s how we can do it – that’s how we should do it – by word of mouth and personal invita on. We are the first-fruits in a new era of Erin’s journey. Christ is calling us to call other people to this wee place we call church. The joy of Jesus is constantly being experienced in our worship services, programs, and missions that we undertake each week, each month, and each year. We have a beau ful building with many loving Chris an people; the world just outside of our doorstep needs a place like Erin. What we need to do is to ask those others in our lives who are already wai ng for that personal invita on. May this Thanksgiving be a wonderful me of strength and happiness, goodness and kindness for all of our families. May it also be a season of faith and friendship for our church family at Erin.

“GIVING TO HIS GLORY” I came across this quote the other day that I felt was relevant to the future of our wee church. “Some changes look nega ve on the surface but you will soon realize that space is being created in your life for something new to emerge.” A er reading these words, I immediately thought back to the ini al discussions we had about expanding our church facili es. I can only imagine there were some who viewed those “changes” as a nega ve, while others saw it as an opportunity. By now, I hope we all realize that God has been working hard...crea ng space in our church for something new to emerge!

Something New Emerging in Stewardship - What to Expect

As convener over the Stewardship Commi ee, I am truly excited to announce our STEWARDSHIP SEASON theme -

“Giving to HIS Glory”. This year we will focus our efforts on the Lord, and the ministry teams he has

put in place to fulfill his mission at Erin! Therefore, over a six-week period beginning Nov 11 ending Dec 23 the congrega on will have an opportunity to hear from each ministry team about what they hope to accomplish for the Lord through their ministry. We will provide materials throughout the stewardship season via bulle n flyers, foyer posters, and in the December newsle er.

able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all mes, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.

NOVEMBER CIRCLE MEETINGS Day Circle: will meet on MONDAY, Nov. 12th, 10 am in the church parlor

Evening Circle: will meet on Monday, Nov. 12th, 7 pm at the home of Mary Scarbrough For this month only, the Day Circle meets on Monday, not Tuesday, due to the Presbytery Mee ng at

ERIN STORIES OF FAITH The theme for the 2012-2013 Discipleship year is "Tell Your Story". We want to collect stories of faith and God's

impact on lives from members as part of the larger story of what God is doing in this me and place. Stories will be collected and published in print and, for those who consent, online.

There are many ways to tell your story of a faith experience. If you are a writer, you may write it out and drop it off in the office or submit it by email (mystory@erinpresbyterian.org). If you prefer talking to wri ng, you can record your story at one of our recording sessions or fire up your web cam or home video camera and tell your story in video form. However you choose to tell it, we want to hear it.

Audio recording sessions will be held at Erin on the third Sunday of November and December beginning November 18 for those who would like to avail themselves of this service. Sign up for a 15-min me slot on the display board in the Narthex. If you are able to record audio on your own, you may also submit MP3 or WAV files to mystory@erinpresbyterian.org. We will transcribe audio recordings for use in the final printed book.

Wondering what you might relate? Tell about a me when you were facing difficulty and God was there to help you through it, or a me when you felt His presence. Or you could tell how He guided you in making a hard decision. Stories like these make our faith real, and sharing them will help others strengthen their belief in a God we can depend on.

In addi on to crea ng a printed book in the summer of 2013, we will also make stories available on the Erin web site for those who give their permission. While it is likely that online readers, viewers and listeners will be other Erinites, these stories will s ll be available to all Internet users. Submission Guidelines • Printed stories should not exceed 2 pages (8.5x11). Email a achments should be plain text or Microso Word. • Audio stories should be 5-10 min long. Digital submissions in MP3 or WAV format • Video stories should not exceed 5 min. Digital submissions in MP4, MPG or MOV format.

All power in heaven and earth is given to Jesus Christ by Almighty God, who raised Christ from the dead and set Him above all rule and authority, all power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. God has put all things under the Lordship of Jesus Christ and has made Christ head of the Church, which is His body.

To those called to exercise special func ons in the church — deacons, elders, and ministers of the Word and Sacrament — God gives suitable gi s for their various du es. In addi on to possessing the necessary gi s and abili es, natural and acquired, those who undertake par cular ministries should be persons of strong faith, dedicated discipleship, and love of Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. Their manner of life should be a demonstra on of the Chris an gospel in the church and in the world. They must have the approval of God’s people and the concurring judgment of a governing body of the church.

November2012

For some, the journey of a life me begins with a shoebox. Since 1993, Opera on Christmas Child has distributed over 94 million shoebox gi s to children in over 130

countries. This year, with God’s help, OCC hopes to surpass 100 million shoebox gi s! A cornerstone of the Samaritan’s Purse organiza on, Opera on Christmas Child exemplifies what it means to be a

Good Samaritan. Each year, thousands of volunteers in 11 different na ons donate gi s, wrap and pack boxes, and volunteer at distribu on centers. From start to finish, OCC partners with local churches in the U. S. and oversees to collect, ship, and handout shoebox gi s – all for the sake of the gospel.

Shoebox gi s contain basic supplies, such as soap, a washcloth, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and combs. Boxes also contain school supplies- like pens, pencils, paper, crayons, and coloring books- small toys, stuffed animals, and hard candy. For most of us, these items are readily available and inexpensive. For a child who receives a shoebox, these items are a precious gi . But, the gi of a life me is hearing the message of God’s love and salva on!

With each shoebox, children receive a color-illustrated storybook featuring Bible stories and scripture from crea on to Jesus’ birth and resurrec on. In some countries, OCC partners with local churches to offer a 12-lesson discipleship program, The Greatest Journey. This program introduces children to Jesus, shows them how to receive and follow Him, and equips them to share their faith with family and friends. Children who complete the study receive a personalized cer ficate and a special New Testament with favorite Old Testament passages. Through this program, millions of children and their families have come to receive Christ as their Savior.

This year, YOU can give a child the gi of a life me. Par cipate in Opera on Christmas Child by dona ng shoebox items, packing a box, or with a monetary dona on. Monies will be used to help cover the cost of shipping the boxes, which is $7 per box.

“What a joy to be used by our Lord to touch the life of a child thousands of miles away!”

Barb, a volunteer from Pennsylvania

“The most important thing is that I know Jesus is God and He loves me.”

13-year-old girl, Eastern Europe

A young Mongolian girl, Ankhtuya, clutched a picture. It was a color illustration of Jesus holding out His arms to comfort a child. “The girl looks like me,” she

exclaimed, pointing to the similar black hair and rosy cheeks. “When I see this picture, I feel like Jesus is hugging me. I am going to keep this forever.”
