INSIDE THIS ISSUE:

Connect Team! by Banning Cantarini

Imagine this scenario: You walk into a new restaurant that you’ve driven by every-

day and always said you would try. As you walk in, you are met by a hostess who

seats you to await your server. Soon the server brings you the menu and gives you

some time to look over it. You are stuck between the chicken and the fish and can-

not decide which of the two sounds tastier! As your server comes back, you ask

about the two items. Here are two scenarios depicting two very different responses:

Scenario #1

“I don’t know—I’ve never really tried either of them. I don’t eat the food here

because I’m around it so much.” Not only is that response not helpful to your

decision-making, but now you might even consider getting up and walking away.

Now imagine this scenario played out a little differently.

Scenario #2

“Well I can tell you that I have tried both of those items and they are fantastic in their

own ways! The chicken is especially moist and juicy, but the fish is always fresh and

succulent. Can you tell me more about what tastes you like so I can help point you

in the right direction?” If you are the customer in the second scenario, your

experience is totally opposite of the first one. Not only has the server expressed

knowledge and passion about the food the restaurant is serving, but they have

made a connection with the customer, making them feel important and valued. It

is great service as its finest!

The essence of how that customer felt in that restaurant is how we want people to

feel when they walk into the doors of this church. Now it is important to say that WE

ARE NOT CATERING to people’s needs (we’re not here to meet the needs of

consumerism), but it is also important to say that WE ARE HERE TO SERVE.

Typically greeters in churches are given the task of showing up, standing in the

places where people have to funnel into the church, and counting the number of

hands shaken and eyes made contact with; But it’s time that we take the next step

in serving the church that we all love and appreciate. It’s time we break out of the

mentality that we show up just to say hello, and that we realize that this is the mission

field on our doorstep. Greeters aren’t just need-fillers, they are the first welcome a

new family (of all ages) will experience, the first cup of coffee offered to a widow

looking for a place to mourn and find fellowship, the first conversation about where

to send your children and what kind of youth program we have. This isn’t just a part

of a ministry, IT IS A VITAL MINISTRY ITSELF. It’s time that we step up to the plate

and serve this community by serving the people who attend here better. It’s time

we shift from the idea of just being at the door waiting, to going out and passion-

ately connecting people to the wonderful menu at SonRise Christian Fellowship!

And it’s time that we EAT THE FOOD, TOO!

The Feel-Good Failure!

by Beth Ann Murray

Have we gone too far by nurturing a “feel-good, “entitlement-based mentality for kids today?

Kids today grow up surrounded by an “everyone’s a winner” message—but reality is, not everyone can

win first place, make an A-plus or be the popular kid. So what happens when kids experience failure,

rejection, or exclusion—especially if we’ve set them up to believe that life will always be fair and every-

one’s entitled to equal accolades, standing, and possessions? Have we gone so far promoting a feel-good

culture for kids that we’re short-changing them by not teaching them how to lose or fail?

I remember when Coleman had his first Kindergarten friend over to spend the night. We always

had a game night as a family. I learned this tradition growing up in my own family. TJ and I, and Cole-

man and Jacob decided on a game called SORRY! Coleman’s friend, Jacob, won and Coleman went into

a full on temper-tantrum. I was shocked until I realized that Coleman was allowed to win every game

we ever played together. And not only did he always win at games but he was first at everything. After

that night, TJ and I realized we had raised a child who thought the world revolved around him. Oh, did

we pay later for that one. We decided to have a family meeting which we had almost every week and

discussed the new rules of playing games, explaining to Coleman that we loved him very much, but he

was not going to be the winner or first at everything in life. Coleman, being a single child was very com-

petitive, but we taught him that God gifted all of us with different gifts. That was always God’s plan.

In reality, by letting our children win all of the time, we’re actually hurting our children and

society as a whole. We’re not allowing our children to develop character. Instead we are raising kids

who can’t cope and who have unrealistic expectations about life.

We started to teach Coleman that God created an “entitlement-free” world. Everyone has

strengths, unique abilities, and talents. Yes, everyone’s a winner—just not at the same time or in the

same ways. Parents, teachers and coaches are facilitators for children to grow into problem-solvers and

solution-makers through challenging situations. Our kids take their cues from watching us.

Here are a few steps to help encourage your children to learn how to live in an entitlement-free

world:

1. Encourage Humor. Prepare children for potential outcomes. Ex. If a child is a star-athlete or an A-

Plus student, then help that child generate empathy for kids who aren’t those things. What if everyone

crossed the finish line at the same time—one child with untied shoes, one with a leg cramp, one riding a

tiger. How about a teacher who gave everyone all A’s? How would you feel—fair, honest, effective?

2. See others’ perspectives. Guide kids to see that their effort toward the goal is what matters, not the

end result.

3. Guide kids to see and develop personal strengths and interests. Spend time with your kids as they

explore their gifts, talents and interests.

4. In the end, check back to see whether winning really mattered. The hardest part of entitlement-free

thinking, is taking time to slow down to carve out a unique, humble identity as a family and for each

child.

“Now these are the gifts Christ gave the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the

pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do His work and build up the

church, the body of Christ.” Ephesians 4:11-12

From the Desk of Beth Ann Murray...

Los Amigos Tutoring Program is in full swing. For many years we have been tutoring elementary-age

Hispanic students after school here at SCF. We’d love to have you join us Tuesdays, 2:30-4:00pm,

for an opportunity to help one special child all year long. No Spanish necessary! Come check us out.

We do need more tutors this year. Call the church office (760-728-5804) for Charlene Mann.

AWANA: We have already experienced a very successful AWANA gathering. We have several

returning Sparks (K-3rd Graders) and we have added a few more from Cubbies. The T & T’s are full

again and quite a few of them were bumped up to the Trek Team lead by Jen Dugas. Charlene Mann

is our fearless Commander and WOW, is she organized! Volunteers and Kids can join AWANA all

year long so come join us in this fun-filled adventure and help change one of our little one’s lives.

Maybe listening to our children recite scripture will help us

learn and memorize some, too. AWANA is scheduled every

Thursday, from 3:30-5pm.

Fall Sunday School staff are in place and are shining God’s

light on all who enter their class- rooms. Find Beth Ann on

Sundays if you are interested in joining our awesome Children’s

Ministry Team (we have a lot of fun). The Elementary kids are

still enjoying the “Gospel Project for Kids”; And we can’t

forget our sweet preschoolers who have joined the Elementary kids in preparing their little hearts

with the Gospel Project for preschoolers taught by another fantastic team of teachers.

The Nursery is another awesome team that takes care of the littlest ones. Kelsi and Kassidi Fluke

have both stepped up, taking on the Interim Nursery Coordinator position until Linda Shirey returns.

We also offer a Gospel Project for Students taught by Roy Callahan during the second service,

specifically for students from 7th grade up through High School.

Preschool is in full swing and we have a wonderful staff this year—Kim DiMuzio, Sarah Bush and

Kelsi Fluck. We have a few spots open, so please tell your neighbors and friends—we are the best

God- lovin’ preschool in town! Call Beth Ann, 728-1032.

We are getting ready for the Fall events. October 18th will be the first “Kids’ Night Out” on the

calendar. We will have a yummy dinner followed by a movie, and last but not least, a friendly game

of Volleyball (right!). The movie title has not been decided yet, but will be a great time for the

parents to have a date night, or just some down time—the night is all about the kids anyway...being

here with me.

Your children are so worth it!

Love, Beth Ann

Angels Alight Just Inside — Jerusalem’s Jaffa Gate by Tim O’Leary

Let’s be honest, believers, and admit that we all seek a sign from above whenever we visit a religious shrine or some other holy place. This is a story about my sign: an angel who shared a precious hour with me on the last day of our recent trip to Israel. But first, I must make a painful admission. It took me two days, an embarrassingly long span of time, to realize that I had indeed encountered an impish messenger from our all-powerful, yet sometimes playful God. My encounter came after many of us in our travel group, which was made up almost exclusively of Chris-tians, visited the jewelry and art shop of Moshe Kempin-ski, an orthodox Jew and rabbi who is frequently asked to explain his faith and contrast it with ours. We sat spellbound as Moshe, an American who emi-grated to Israel more than two decades ago, echoed the common refrains that he hears from people who have visited his country one or more times. He spoke for about 20 minutes and then answered every question we tossed out. As he spoke, I found my mind racing to un-derstand the depth and breadth of each of his answers before we quickly moved into the next question. An untold number of visitors, he said, have reached the same four conclusions from their trips here: Travelers do not decide on their own to visit Israel.

They are called there by God. They are invited to the Holy Land because God wants believers to visit Him at his home.

God finds a way – and the methods vary dramati-cally from traveler to traveler – to touch each visitor to this land.

All visitors are changed – inside and out – by their trip.

Visitors will be unable to describe the impacts of their trip to others when they return home.

It was after that talk that I encountered my Jerusalem angel. I was standing at the Jaffa Gate as a smattering of my travel group purchased tickets to walk amid the an-cient fortifications atop the city walls.

My 60-year-old knees had reached their physical limit days before that moment, so I found myself alone with some time on my hands and Jerusalem spread out be-fore me. She appeared from out of the corner of my eye. At first I thought she had alighted from thin air, but I knew that could not be true, and I convinced myself that she was simply light on her feet and strutting at a swift pace. In one hand she carried a case, strong and study. Its contents, I supposed, was a musical instrument, a French Horn perhaps. A white robe, albeit a bit dusty and soiled, covered her from her neckline to her knees. She stopped at a shaded arch just inside the gate. There she lovingly ex-tracted a harp, lovely in shape and tone, from the case at her feet. And then, with a mere spring of her toes, she popped onto the brick ledge inside the arch and curled around her instrument. It was there that this impish angel performed for un-counted travelers – the lingerers and the passersby. I was mesmerized, unable to move, as the music flowed around and through me. Yet that was not the only way this cheeky cherub entertained us. She smiled and chat-tered as clusters of people stopped, gaped, listened and then moved on. She would alternately pose, smile and pout when cameras emerged to capture her image. At times she would extract a camera of her own, and demand that groups of travelers pose for her pictures. She interacted with hundreds of visitors that way – groups of travelers whose t-shirts and soccer team tops linked them to

countries from all corners of the globe.

Many of them tossed coins, some in a clatter, into her case. A towering man – bohemian in dress, style and stature – slipped into the scene and then stopped, frozen in delight over this serendipitous encounter. His appear-ance and approach bespoke that of a world traveler. His gait was like a river – smooth, steady and unruffled by the rocks below that shape its flow. He thanked her for the gift of her music. She thanked him for his kind words. She asked him about his origin, to which he proudly proclaimed: “Australia.” (Cont. on Page 5)

Have you ever asked yourself, “What’s the point to this whole thing of getting older?”

Have you ever said, “What’s happening to my parents? They aren’t the same people they were when they were younger!”

Maybe you’ve even said, “I wish I understood what’s happening to me these days”!

If so, you might find some answers in the Senior Moments e-letter. It comes out on-or-about the first of each month, and all you have to do is ask to be put on the mailing list. Each edition of Senior Moments contains a bit of humor about aging, plus some (hopefully) sage observations about how the world is changing and how we are adapting to it (or not!). There are frequently links to videos—nostalgic, humorous, and inspirational—that will bring warm fuzzies, smiles, and sometimes even a lump in the throat.

For example, here’s something you missed if you didn’t get the September issue:

We mused a bit about our culture’s fascination with the “Ponce de León” syndrome—its commitment to maintaining perpetual youth—and what the Bible tells us about living longer. We also added this bit of levity to the discussion:

While you’re still alive . . . maybe you’ve said some these things attributed to “old people”:

I’m the life of the party . . . even when it lasts until 8 p.m.

I’m smiling all the time because I can’t hear a word you’re saying.

I’m very good at telling stories ... over ... and over ... and over.

I’m aware that other people’s grandchildren are not as bright as

mine.

I’m so cared for: long term care, eye care, Medicare, dental care.

I’m not grouchy, I just don’t like traffic, waiting, crowds or politicians.

I’m positive I did housework correctly before my husband retired.

I’m sure everything I can’t find is in a secure place.

I’m wrinkled, saggy, and lumpy and that’s just my left leg.

I’m having trouble remembering simple words like . . .

I’m walking more (to the bathroom) and enjoying it less.

I’m sure they are making adults much younger these days.

I’m in the initial stage of my golden years: SS, CDs, IRAs and AARP.

I’m a walking storeroom of facts ... I’ve just lost the key to it.

The October issue will look at the frustration some of us feel about how Christmas shopping seems to be starting earlier each year:

“Have you got your Christmas shopping done yet? The first of October seems like a good time to make some curmudgeonly remarks about the fact that this year’s version of the commer-cialization of Christmas has already begun. . . .”

If you would like to get in on the fun, just write “Senior Moments” followed by your email address on the registration card next Sunday. Or, if you like, email Chuck at dio-genes1@roadrunner.com. You can even ask him why he chose such a strange email

SENIOR MOMENTS

(Angels Alight, Cont. from Page 4) Their intimate moment passed, and the man once again began to weave his way through the stationary onlookers. “And you?” he asked of her in parting. “Jerusalem,” she quickly replied, all the while flash-ing a bright smile that tacked a silent “of course” onto her saucy reply. She performed a while longer, and then eased back out of the arch and onto the pavement. I dropped a do-nation into her instrument case as she snapped shut its latches. We said goodbye, and she drifted away in the direction from which she had come. There will be scoffers, of that I am certain, who will cynically respond that I had simply crossed paths with an out-of-work symphony wannabe. But she will always be an angel to me. She was a gift for an hour from a whimsical God who sends us signs – whether it be in Jerusalem or Julian – that He is always there for you and for me.

Trust in God by Norma Macleod

Courage, Brother, do not stumble, Though your path be dark as night; There’s a star to guide the humble, Trust in God and do the right.

Let the road be rough and dreary, And it’s end far out of sight, Foot it bravely, strong or weary; Trust in God and do the right. Perish policy and cunning, Perish all that fears the light; Whether losing, whether winning, Trust in God and do the right.

Trust no party, sect or faction, Trust no leaders in the fight; But in every word and action Trust in God and do the right. Simple rule and safest guiding, Inward peace and inward might, Star upon our path abiding; Trust in God and do the right.

Toni Crisell & Elissa Taylor were leaders of the Flower Ministry for 2012-2013. Thanks is such a small phrase to express our feelings for all you’ve done. Just knowing you’re a phone call away gives us confidence. You are APPRECIATED! Next year’s leader is Judy Fatland.

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. —Marcel Proust, French Author

God Leads

He does not lead me year by year, Nor even day by day, But step by step my path unfolds. My Lord directs my way. Tomorrow’s plans I do not know, I only know this minute;

But He will say, “This is the way, By faith now walk ye in it.” And I am glad that it is so; Today’s enough to bear; And when tomorrow comes, His Grace shall far exceed its care.

What need to worry then, or fret? The God who gave His Son, Holds all my moments in His hand. And gives them one by one. - Author Unknown

While the poor dream of having riches, the wealthy long for simplicity.—Author Unknown

October 2013 The Chimes page 9

My husband didn’t leave me well provided for

In the conventional sense

But I had a roof over my head

And I felt blessed for that

I began to write poetry again

I wrote one describing my grief as a precipice

And myself as teetering precariously on the edge

It was a very apt description.

I had always been independent

And relied on my own strength

But it wasn’t enough.

Not nearly enough.

I cried out to You in the depths of my despair

You reached out to me with these words from Your prophet

“In returning and rest you will be saved

In quietness and trust will be your strength”

I held on to these words like a life preserver

In the midst of a tumultuous sea

You brought me back to church

Where after many years of being a casual occasional ob-server

You wanted me to be a participant

I was unsure

I didn’t want people to see me cry

As I knew I would

So I sat alone toward the back

You brought some of Your dear saints into my life

Who helped me work my way from darkness to light

From mourning to joy.

So I began a new journey

A journey to seek Your face.

Is 30:15 For thus the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel has said, “In returning and rest you will be saved; in quietness

and trust will be your strength.

John 16:20 “Truly, truly, I say to you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will be sorrowful, but

your sorrow will be turned to joy.”

inspirations from Israel by Gayle Kott

Gayle Kott recently returned from an unforgettable trip to the Holy Land with Pastor Jerome and 18 others. Gayle, a gifted poet and writer, was inspired to keep a daily journal of her pilgrimage, and the result was a series of very per-sonal and powerful modern-day Psalms. At Pastor Jerome’s request, she has graciously agreed to share some of these poems with the entire church family over the next several months via the Chimes Newsletter. Our prayer is that you will be inspired and encouraged and drawn closer to the heart of Jesus through Gayle’s very intimate and beautiful poetry. — Pastor Jerome

Lessons from the Holy Land Prayers from a Woman’s Life

The Lessons Continue...

Grief

Lord, as I remember what You’ve done for me

The lessons You’ve taught me

I hardly know where to begin

I think, though, that this phase of my wanderings

Must begin when You took my husband of 26 years

I was left here on Your earth

Confused, afraid

I had friends, I had family

Yet I felt so alone

I thought I knew You

I had spent a lifetime talking to You

Or maybe I was just talking at You

I don’t know.

I didn’t know what You wanted for me

Or from me

I felt a depth of grief that surprised me

Because my marriage, as You know

Was full of challenges.
