FROM THE
PULPIT
CALLED TO SERVICE MARCH 2 2014
Rev. Dr. Fred Fourie
There were some Greeks
in town who had come up
to worship at the Feast. They approached Philip, who
was from Bethsaida in Galilee: “Sir, we want to see
Jesus. Can you help us?” Philip went and told Andrew.
Andrew and Philip together told Jesus. Jesus answered,
“Time’s up. The time has come for the Son of Man to be
glorified. “Listen carefully: Unless a grain of wheat is
buried in the ground, dead to the world, it is never any
more than a grain of wheat. But if it is buried, it sprouts
and reproduces itself many times over. In the same way,
anyone who holds on to life just as it is destroys that life.
But if you let it go, reckless in your love, you’ll have it
forever, real and eternal. “If any of you wants to serve
me, then follow me. Then you’ll be where I am, ready to
serve at a moment’s notice. The Father will honor and
reward anyone who serves me.” John 12:20-26 [MSG]
John’s Gospel tells a very significant and touching
story. Jesus and his followers were already in Jerusalem.
Until this moment, Jesus' directed his ministry
exclusively to the Jews. Nevertheless, the foreigners
also heard about him and many wanted to come closer
to him. At that crucial moment, two Greeks asked
Philip, one of the disciples, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus!"

50 Thrifty Years for Cocoa Beach
Community Church Thrift Shop
BY KATHY ANDERSON SMITH
In 1964, as manned rockets were entering outer
space just a few miles to the north, Cocoa Beach
Community Church was also launching a new mission in
the form of a Thrift Shop. Still operating today, it is
believed to be the longest running Thrift Shop in
Brevard.
The Women’s Fellowship of this United Church of
Christ Church opened the shop in the garage of a house
along South Orlando Ave. in Cocoa Beach 50 years ago.
The house was located just to the south of the current
sanctuary across the street from the beach. On nice
days the ladies would bring their merchandise out of
the garage, and place it onto tables along the road for
better visibility. By 1967 the shop was moved into a
Sunday school room in the building on the church
complex which now serves as the church office. At that
time there were many days when the day’s total sales
were under $5.00. In 1967 the average age of Cocoa
Beach residents was 26 years old. The young and
growing community in those years resulted in a shop
with baby and children’s clothing and toys as the top
sellers. Due to the growth of young families in the area,
CBCC expanded its property to cover the entire corner
of First St. South between Orlando and Brevard Avenues
in 1969. With the new property came a small house on
the south end of the Brevard Ave. side of the property.
Initially the house was shared by the Thrift Shop and
Sunday school classes but eventually a Sunday school
wing was added to the church complex and the Thrift
Shop took over the entire building. After the shop took
over the house a storage shed was built to contain
donations and the house’s kitchen became a sorting
room. Individual room doors were opened up to allow
for better flow in the shop. This also allowed the
various areas to be dedicated to specific lines of
merchandise. Few physical changes to the property
occurred for several decades but the popularity of the
Thrift Shop grew as well as the hours of operation and
sales volume. The hours have been expanded to the
current schedule of Monday and Thursday from 9:30 –
3:00 and Friday and Saturday from 10:00 -1:00. In 2008
the old storage shed was removed and a breezeway and
the shed area were combined into a large donation
sorting room. Other improvements over the past 5
years have included updated windows and doors, AC
upgrades, a fenced in donation area, the addition of a
client’s garden, and many other minor upgrades.
A Chinese Proverb says “To open a shop is easy; to
keep it open is an art.” The Cocoa Beach Community
Church Thrift Shop has been lucky enough to have had
hundreds of dedicated volunteers and leaders over the
past 50 years who turned running the shop into an art.
Customers consistently comment that the shop and the
merchandise are so clean and so well organized that it is
their favorite thrift shop. Our goal is to offer high
quality merchandise at very low prices. This fulfils an
important church mission of enabling people on fixed
incomes or with limited means to afford to purchase
necessities. In addition people in severe need are able
to stop in and receive a set of clothing as well as a
bagged lunch. Funds earned are disbursed through the
Women’s Fellowship to a variety of organizations in our
community and beyond.
To recognize the success and growth that has been
enjoyed over the past 50 years a year-long 50th
Anniversary Celebration is taking place. Beginning with
the theme of “Celebrating 50 Thrifty Years” we will offer
“Anniversary Sales” that will feature 50 cent reductions
or 50% off on specific categories of merchandise. These
will take place throughout 2014. The first major event
of the celebration will be a Spring-Summer Fashion
Show that will take place on Friday evening March
21st. The event with champagne and chocolate
refreshments will feature current looks for spring and
summer 2014 that have been put together from the
shop’s merchandise. In addition we will showcase a few
vintage outfits that our customers might have
purchased if they were shopping with us over the past 5
decades.
In the fall of 2014 an Open House is planned for
parishioners and customers after Sunday services. At
that point in the Anniversary year the focus will switch
to the future as we continue to work to improve and
grow. The Open House will introduce a theme for the
future which comes from the Space Coast’s past:
Blasting Off for Another 50 Years Serving our Customers
and Community.

CHOP, CHOP THURSDAY
“Chop, Chop Thursday” was the mantra again leading
up to this year’s spectacular Valentine’s Day Card Party
and Luncheon.
This was, and is, the Ladies Society’s major fund
raising event of the year. Held annually for more than
four decades, it has developed a celebrity status of its
own. Many volunteers know weeks beforehand what
they will donate or be asked to do. It is also, along with
the highly regarded Thrift Shop, looked upon as an
outreach into the community.
Margaret Counts, Ladies Society President,
welcomed 124 guests representing six surrounding
towns on Friday morning, February 14.
“Chop, Chop Thursday” called for due diligence on
the part of every volunteer to show up on schedule.
And do whatever had to be done to prepare for the
next day’s important event.
To handle the crowd of card plyers themselves, in
addition to so several dozen volunteers and those on
hand to watch, called for a strategy of almost military
precision.
Everything in the hall, having to do with card playing,
including prizes and score pads, was Chairman Bea
William’s responsibility. Everything in the kitchen,
concerned with preparing and serving the luncheon
itself, was Karen Neumann’s responsibility with the help
of Anne Rutishauser.
For Bea, among other things, t his meant setting up
31 card tables and chairs. When Marty Stieger and
Jerry Hinds volunteered to do so, Bea noted that since
they were “handling the tables anyway,” would they
mind putting the red covers on them? Of course not,
and they even came back the next day to take
everything down. Meanwhile, volunteers and Bea
collected and packaged prizes donated by local
merchants and individuals into huge baskets from the
Thrift Shop. Included were a man and a woman’s wrist
watches, tickets to a play at Surfside, a dinner at the
Pier, a bottle of champagne with two glasses, selected
boutique items and more.
The most unusual prize, selected by the winning
hand at each table, was the 12" x 12" fabric tote hand
bag made by Susie Fast and filled with coffee mugs,
small baked loaves, some of Julia Stalling’s famous
peanut brittle, hot chocolate mix and home made
cookies. This is the third year Susie has donated the
bags made from fabrics she began collecting from the
Thrift Shop last January.
It is the luncheon; however, that adds a layer of
mystery and awe to the entire event. How could Karen
and Anne purchase, cook, prepare and serve a menu of
chicken salad, fresh spinach, dessert, coffee and tea to a
crowd of this size with serenity and aplomb? It wasn’t
easy. Karen watched the papers for weeks to find the
best prices for fresh food and that could be stored.
On Tuesday before the party, Karen and Anne
shopped for what they needed. The main problem was
how to pack everything into Karen’s SUV and still have
room for her husband, Paul, to sit on the front seat with
bags and bags of groceries surrounding him. It took all
three of them to cart everything into the kitchen and
store it in the refrigerator which completely filled it.
On Wednesday Karen and Anne cooked 40 pounds of
chicken breast they had bought in Melbourne.
Thursday was Chop, Chop Day when dozens of
volunteers, all reporting for a certain length of time,
settled down to dice, chop, peel, cut, and slice mounds
of ingredients that went into the chicken salad. Others
even cut the stems off spinach in a final act of delicacy
and some separated 169 plastic knives and forks into
four units, bound with white tape to be set at each
place.
When all was ready, Karen closeted herself in the
kitchen and mixed in her secret, uniquely delicious
dressings. When asked what they were, Karen merely
smiled and looked the other way. No one has been able
to find the answers.
The day ended with Bill Ross and his Barber Shop
Quartet serenading guests on both sides of Sponsler
Hall. As Valentine’s Day Card party and Luncheon add
another page to the long history of successes, it does, as
one volunteer said, “makes us all happy in working
together in common goal. After all, isn’t that what’s all
about?’

CENTER FOR SPIRITUAL ENRICHMENT
Thursdays; February 20 – March 27
7:00 PM in the CBCC Board Room
Facilitated by: Cindy Johnson and Coleman Todd
Embracing Emergence Christianity Author, historian and keen cultural observer Phyllis
Tickle invites us to join her in examining the
changing face of Christianity and culture. Phyllis
surveys 2000 years of Western history, identifying
the great upheavals that occur in Western culture
and Christianity every 500 years. The last was the
Great Reformation of the 1500’s; the next is
happening now.
What are the implications of this “Great
Emergence,” both culturally and spiritually? What
are the key questions and issues that need to be
addressed? Where might we be headed next? And,
perhaps most importantly, where are you, at this
moment? Might you be an emergence Christian?
There are six sessions on the DVD. Each session
begins with a video presentation by Phyllis Tickle,
lasting from 10-15 minutes followed by our group
discussion
CROP WALK
Sunday March 23 2:00 PM Hunger Walk & Picnic
Larry Schultz Park Fiske Blvd. Rockledge
REFLECTIONS ON CROP HUNGER WALK BY BARB & GEORGE FRANKE “SNOWBIRDS” FROM COLORADO
We have been involved with CROP Hunger Walks in
several states for over 30 years. We’re happy to
share our enthusiasm about CROP Walk with Cocoa
Beach Community Church. Did you know that
there are some 2000 CROP Walks in the U.S. each
year?
What is the CROP Walk?? The letters in CROP
stand for Communities Responding to Overcome
Poverty. Cocoa Beach Community Church is one of
those communities. CROP Walk is a fundraising
activity that helps to feed hungry people in Central
Brevard County as well as around the rest of the
U.S. and world. If you choose to participate, you
have several options.
Sign up to walk the short, symbolic walk in Larry
Schultz Park in Rockledge at 2 p.m. on March 23rd,
publicly remembering the millions of people who
must walk miles each and every day in order to
provide food and clean water for their families.
Make a donation to CROP Walk. Of course we
hope to raise a lot of money so we can help feed a
lot of people, but any size donation is welcome.
TOGETHER we can make a difference!
Who gets the money?? 25% of funds raised stay
local, used for Central Brevard Sharing Center’s
Community Kitchen Program. Did you know that 1
in 4 children in Brevard County go to bed hungry
each night?
OUTREACH AND MISSION
10
75% of funds raised is used by Church World
Service (CWS) for hunger relief AND disaster relief
efforts in the U.S. and in other places around the
world.
In 2013 our own home community of Loveland,
CO had first-hand experience with disaster relief
provided ty CWS. Mountain rivers, swollen with
days of non-stop rain, flooded large areas
downstream in Loveland and neighboring
communities. Many homes, businesses and roads
were destroyed or damaged. Lives were lost. CWS
was not only an early responder supplying clean-up
supplies for those affected, but was also there
later, organizing and training volunteers in long-
term recovery efforts.
We experienced the work of Church World
Service right in our own community. Did you know
that CWS has also been at work in areas of Florida
hit by hurricanes, helping feed people and rebuild
lives?
This year’s walk is right across the street from
our sister UCC church Hope United Church of
Christ. They are looking forward to seeing some
folks from CBCC over on the mainland.
We hope you will support CROP Walk in 2014!
Sign up will be each Sunday in Sponsler hall until
the walk date.

FROM OUR PULPIT
Continued from pg. 3
Philip was surprised and unsure
what to do, so he first found An-
drew and together they went to
Jesus and told him about the
unusual re-quest of the Greeks.
Certainly, Jesus would want to
meet strangers who traveled such
a great distance! Jesus, however,
surprised them. Instead of inviting
the Greeks over, Jesus changed
the subject and revealed that
these Greeks were only the first of
many people from every race and
nation who would eventually call
on his name.
The first of countless millions
who through the ages, like us,
would plead: “Sir, we wish to see
Jesus!” The answer that Jesus
gave would forever change our
understanding of what Christian
faith is really all about! , Jesus
said, “Listen carefully: Unless a
grain of wheat is buried in the
ground, dead to the world, it is
never any more than just a grain
of wheat. But if it is buried, it
sprouts and reproduces itself
many times over.
Jesus had a very specific vision
and hope for the future: He
wanted his followers to celebrate
peace and community with those
around them. He wanted to see
life - true life - grow out of his
vision and his hope: The
crucifixion of Jesus would make
him like a grain of wheat that, by
falling into the ground and dying,
would bear much fruit, bringing
many, many others to real life! In
spite of the cruel realities
surrounding him at that time,
Jesus then made a powerful
statement about the coming
crucifix-ion! , “And I, when I am
lifted up from the earth, will draw
all people to myself."
What happens when a grain of
wheat, or a seed, falls into the
ground and dies? It germinates! It
begins new life! It produces buds,
sprouts, branch-es, flowers. The
grain of wheat only has to die in
order to resurrect a 1000 times
over! Jesus is saying, “I am like a
grain of wheat! I am the
foundation! My vision and hope
will prevail and will blossom forth
into the Kingdom of God! ~ Philip,
Andrew, Peter, John go tell the
Greeks, tell the world!” They did ~
and that is why you and I are here
today!
“When Jesus calls us, he leads
us to undergo a radical inner
transformation.” Like a grain of
wheat, through Christ, we gain
strength TO DIE to the fears that
keep us from loving. We gain
courage TO DIE to the selfishness
that keeps us from sharing our
gifts. We learn TO DIE to seeking
only our own success and
salvation in disregard for the good
of all God’s children.
IF WE die with Christ, we will
also rise with Christ as new
creations, to be God’s children,
worshipping together, caring
about one another, and dis-
covering what it means to be fully
human. Thus, Jesus became Lord
for whosoever would come. Jew
and Gentile, rich and poor,
righteous and unrighteous, no one
excluded. All of us are equal in his
sight. Now we understand that the
foreigners who wanted to see
Jesus were only a pre-view of
what was to come. A time was
coming when people from all over
the world would reach out to
receive Jesus as their Savior and
Lord. Since the beginning of the
Christian era, people have
experienced how lives without
real meaning or direction were
touched, changed and trans-
formed when they became sincere
followers of Jesus. That prompted
un-counted millions to echo the
request of the Greeks so long ago.
“Sir, we want to see Jesus!”
When Jesus becomes Lord in
anyone’s life the transformation,
from inside out begins. The Bible
says, “If anyone is in Christ, there
is a new creation: everything old
has passed away; see every-thing
has become new! Jesus is the
corn of wheat that willingly died
so that you and I can live! As we
come to the table this morning,
we celebrate and remember Jesus
as the grain of wheat who died to
transform your life …………. and
mine
When I survey the wondrous
cross, on which the Christ of glory
died, my richest gain I count but
loss, and pour contempt on all my
pride. Love so amazing, so divine,
demands my soul, my life, my all!
Come to the table – we are
welcome here! Amen.
