The Lamplighter November 2020 • Salem United Church of Christ • Higginsville, Missouri

Dear Friends, One of my favorite superhero films is 2017’s “Wonder Woman.” There is plenty of action, a bit of humor,

and, surprisingly, a powerful message in the film. I recommend it to you. The message comes when one of the characters tells Wonder Woman that the people of Earth do not

deserve her protection. Her reply is that it has nothing to do with deserving; it is about what we believe. She, she declares, believes in love.

As the movie ends, Wonder Woman says that she came to recognize that the darkness and the light both exist in every person, and that we all have to choose which one will be our way in the world. She closes by saying, “And now I know. Only love can truly save the world. So I stay, I fight, and I give…for the world I know can be. This is my mission, now, forever.”

No one needs me to tell them what our world is like today. We all know. We all see it. Racism, which we thought we were overcoming, has resurged, and white supremacists feel a sense of entitlement and rightness that would have been inconceivable fifteen years ago. People of color, people of different sexual orientations and gender identities, and women are finding their civil and human rights eroded, limited, eradicated. The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. So many people seem to feel no sense of communal respon-sibility, caring only for themselves and for their desires. Incivility is now socially and politically acceptable. The political parties in the United States are no longer merely adversaries, they are sworn enemies. There is not simply the sense that the members of the other party, whichever it is, are good people but mistaken. Now the feeling is that we should hate and fear the other party because they are not just mistaken, they are evil and want to destroy us all. Public leaders lie, cheat, work the system to their own advantage, and the people pay the price. Honestly, it feels as if we could be on the verge of another civil war, and racial tension is front and center once again.

So what do we do? How do we live in such a divided and dividing world? I think that Wonder Woman…and Jesus…and the apostle Paul have given us the key. And in a word, that key is love.

Jesus had so much to say about love that we can only begin to grasp it in a few paragraphs. Love God, he said. Love your neighbor as yourself, he said. Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, he said. Treat others the way that we want them to treat us, he said. Everything that the prophets ever said, every Instruction that God ever gave, we can fulfill by our love for one another and for God.

Likewise, Paul said a great deal about love. In I Corinthians 13, he famously tells us that nothing we do matters if we do it without love. Love is patient, kind, never envious or boastful or arrogant or rude, does not insist on its own way, rejoices in the truth, bears all things, believes all things, hopes all thing, endures all things. Love considers the interests of others before the interests of the self. Love never ends. Love is the more excellent way.

No doubt some who read this will call me naïve, or foolish, or simpleminded. Maybe I am. But love is what gives me hope. Love is what sustains me. Only love can truly save the world.

Allow me to close with some words of someone else who had concerns for his people: “I am loath to close. We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.”

(Abraham Lincoln, First Inaugural Address, 4 March 1861) Amen.

Grace and Peace Tommy

The simplest prayer An eccentric blind man nicknamed Joybubbles reported-ly loved Mr. Rogers so much he listened to 10 hours of the TV show daily until he’d heard them all. One night, when Joybubbles was in a kind of awake dream state, he said Mr. Rogers visited him and offered to teach him how to pray. Joybubbles protested that he couldn’t pray because he always forgot the words. To which Mr. Rogers said not to worry; the prayer he’d teach had only three words. “What kind of prayer has only three words?” Joybubbles asked. “Thank you, God,” Mr. Rogers replied.

CHILDREN’S CHRISTMAS

PROGRAM NEWS:

The annual Children's Christmas Program will be done differently this year. The Board of Christian Education and June are working really hard to present a virtual Christmas Program for everyone to enjoy. Each child will have 2 to 4 lines a piece. There will be specific directions for each part. It will be super simple and easy to do. There will also be singing parts that will be recorded as well. The children will record a small video at home and send it to June. Then the videos will be put together and shown in church and posted to Facebook on December 20th. If you want your child/children in the Christmas Program please contact June directly at 660-441-8568 text or call anytime. All videos must be sent to June by November 30th.

CHRISTMAS EVE SERVICE 2020 One of the most beloved traditions at Salem United Church of Christ is the Christmas Eve service. It is a beautiful, peaceful time of worship, filled with light in the darkness of winter, and capped with communion. Anyone who has ever participated in Christmas Eve at Salem will remember the evening. The question for us is what to do with Christmas Eve in a time of pandemic. We cannot simply go ahead, as usual, with a houseful of worshipers, family, and friends, as if there were not a life-threatening virus at loose in the world. And yet, we do not want to give up completely on this wonderful service. One suggestion is that we could do two services, perhaps at 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m., so that we could limit the numbers of worshipers at each service and still provide opportunity for as many as might want to attend. We would continue our practice of contact tracing, wearing masks, and social distancing, as well. We would need to have people RSVP sometime before Christmas Eve so that we would know how many to expect and know when we have reached our limit of 140 people for a service. We would like to hear from the Salem family. Is adding a second service something that you would be in favor of doing? For the present, are going to proceed with our planning for a second service. If we find that there is not enough interest in adding the earlier service, we can easily revert to a single service, with all of our COVID-19 restrictions.

Solitude as soul care Richard J. Foster (Celebration of Discipline) says solitude is “more a state of mind and heart” than a place: “There is a solitude of the heart that can be maintained at all times. Crowds, or the lack of them, have little to do with this inward attentiveness.” Although Jesus preferred crowd-free alone times, that’s not always feasible. But no matter your surroundings and responsibilities, you can carve out intentional time to “be still” (Psalm 46:10). Try these tips for adding solitude to life’s rhythms: Take a day. Every month or two, enjoy a day of solitude. Turn off your

phone and spend the day with God. Take an hour. Treat this time as an important calendar appointment.

Keep it free to protect your solitude. Take a minute. Before a big meeting or as you’re answering the phone,

breathe deeply and invite God into the moment. —Janna Firestone

Growing through gratitude Thankfulness, studies show, has multiple physical, mental and emotional benefits. Psychologist Robert Emmons calls gratitude “fertilizer for the mind” because of its powerful effects. He admits gratitude isn’t always easy — especially when life throws us curveballs (see the year 2020) — but says it can be most helpful dur-ing and after difficulties. Emmons suggests reframing challenges using thankfulness-based language. Ask, for example: Though I wasn’t grateful for the experience at the time, how can I be now? What lessons did I learn, and how did I grow as a person? Throughout his letters, the apostle Paul reframes his extensive suffer-ings and urges us to do the same. “Give thanks in all circumstances,” he writes, “for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” (1 Thessalonians 5:18, NIV).

STEWARDSHIP NEWS:

Because of the current situation we have with Covid-19, the Stewardship Committee has decided to forgo sending the Stewardship “Heart Work” Inventory's (formerly known as the time and talent sheet) for 2021. Hopefully the outlook will be better for us to gather again sometime in 2021. When that time comes, we will use the results from the 2020 Time & Talent sheets and call again for volunteers for all activities we might have actually taken for granted, and now we know are so precious and important. Thank you,

The Stewardship Committee.

GROWING HOPE GLOBALLY

This year also marks the 21st anniversary of Growing Hope Globally (formerly Foods Resource Bank). This will be Salem’s 20th year of involvement with this organization. There is a video of the harvest of our first crop on You Tube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HIV64Bbt8Y#action=share. I would encourage everyone to view it. Growing Hope Globally pro-grams address food shortages, poverty, and health challenges that lead to hunger. The goal of each program is to help families have enough to eat throughout the entire year and to produce a surplus they can sell to pay for school supplies, medical care, and modest home improvements. In the past, our donations have gone to projects in Uganda, Nicaragua, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. If you care to join the Men’s Fellowship in this mission, please drop your donation by the church office no later than December 31st .

Thank you,

Dennis Knipmeyer

Strangers no more

Some people open their holiday meals to strangers, and one host even did so inadvertently. In 2016, Wanda Dench texted 17-year-old Jamal Hinton about Thanksgiving dinner, thinking she was contacting her grandson. When a skeptical Hinton requested a photo and re-ceived a selfie of someone with a different skin color, he chuckled — but then asked if he could still come eat! Thus began a new friendship and a new annual tradition, which Hinton documents online. “Family is more than blood,” says Dench. “It’s the people you want to be with.” This year’s meal will be bittersweet, with an empty chair for Dench’s husband, who died of Covid-19 in April. To show support after that loss, Hinton sent his “grandma” a collection of loving video messages. Strangers worldwide expressed con-dolences to a woman who’d fully embraced a stranger.
