It involves more than 1,600 communities each year - a mix of faiths community groups, individuals and schools. Around 25% of the money raised fights hunger in each of those communities, with the remainder going to helping people around the world have enough food to eat and clean water to drink and allowing children to have the best start at life possible. One quarter of the funds raised will go to our Community Choice Pantry.

Time to sing:  Shine on, Shine on Harvest Moon......la da de da de da......

The Harvest Moon is the full moon closest to the fall equinox. Before fast working tractors, Farmers would work thru the night, by the light, to bring in the harvest.

 

When does fall being? The equinox brings autumn on September 22 at 10:29 P.M EDT.

 

September is National Chicken Month, National Rice Month, National Potato Month

But perhaps most important to note is that September is

'Be Kind to Editors and Writers Month.'

 

September 8th is National Grandparents Day. President Jimmy Carter, in 1978, proclaimed that National Grandparents Day would be celebrated every year on the first Sunday after Labor Day.  The Official flower:  forget-me-not.

 

Continental Congress changed the name of the United Colonies to the United States on September 9, 1776.

From Our Pastors 
Full Article

 

 

 

         Those of us who went to visit our partner church in Barranquilla, Colombia in July had a truly wonderful experience!  We had asked our friends there to give us an over-all introduction to what it means to be Presbyterian Christians in their context and they did just that. 

         Landing in Barranquilla, we were impressed to find that among the people who greeted us were both the General Secretary of the national Colombian Presbyterian Church, Rev. Diego Higuita Arango, and the General Secretary of the Presbytery of the North Coast, Rev. Jairo Barriga (remember he preached at our church last year).  They drove us from the airport to the hotel and began with us the week-long conversation in which we learned so much about our sister denomination and the congregation with which we have been paired for 18 years, the Seventh Presbyterian Church.  Also, on hand to greet us was Alexander Steffenel whom many of you will remember from the four years he attended our church while studying at Miami.  We baptized Alexander and Carmen's first child, Navin, at our church.  Alexander lives and teaches at Lee University in Cleveland, Tennessee but was visiting his family in Barranquilla and was an immense help with translation and getting us settled at the hotel.  Gina Zabala, head of the Nazareth School, who has been in Oxford a number of times and was the one who organized our whole itinerary in Colombia was there to greet us, too!

         There is lots to tell and in the coming weeks we will share it with you in different ways.  Please plan to come to worship on World Communion Sunday, October 5, for our report back and Skype hookup during worship with the Seventh Church.  For now, let me just pass on to you some of our group members' fondest memories and learnings in their own words:

 

I really, really enjoyed the Colombian trip.  I must say that more than anything I was blessed by the people--they were so welcoming, everyone hugged and kissed--they were devoted to Jesus and shared His love with others, even if it was dangerous to them.  I loved the worship, everyone loved to praise and worship God enthusiastically.  The children were loving and beautiful, and they most of all have made me want to return there Connie Everhart

 

The Colombian people were all so friendly and their faith was very much alive.  Despite the language barrier, everybody in the Seventh Church tried to communicate how happy they were that we were there.  Their plentiful hugs, kisses, and shouting of "Mucho gusto (Nice to meet you)", and "Bienvenido (Welcome)" made me feel very welcome!

Sara Smith

 

It was amazing to me that the congregation of the 7th Church was such a warm, welcoming, caring, outgoing, joyful, and loving people.  They bent over backwards for us to insure that we became engaged in their church and in their lives.  Our friends, as they all quickly became, live every minute of their lives living up to the teachings of our Lord.  At the Goel Project, the children lined up to freely give us hugs and kisses, and mothers handed us their babies to hold.  What a remarkable experience it was!  Karen Shearer

 

What amazed me was how much the Seventh Church got accomplished with so little resources.  It is my understanding that the membership is about seventy-five and, from the congregation present when we were at the Seventh Church, many of the members are on the lower end of the economic scale.  Yet our sister church finds the wherewithal to tackle big problems and make a difference (e.g., the Goel Project).  The OPC can take a lesson from the Seventh Church in terms of domestic missionary work.  We have the capability to do so much more in this regard but we apparently lack the will. Robert Smith

 

The highlights of Columbia for me revolved around the people of the Seventh church. I was so impressed with their Christian faith. It was truly central to their lives and was demonstrated in their joyful worship and music, their passion for bible study, their gracious hospitality, and their devotion to mission. Meeting the displaced and abandoned women and children of the Goel project was wonderful and especially memorable. I am inspired to join our Colombian sisters in supporting this mission by raising awareness and funds in our own church. Mary Jo McFadden

 

For me, most important was the vivid sense we gained of Christ's worldwide body.  Being joined in the Spirit with Christians on another continent across all the barriers of language and culture, brought home to me once more that God is raising up an international church, a family of faith without borders.  It was such an encouragement to us in this time when there is so much division and divisiveness at every level.  After our trip, for the seven of us, our unity in Christ with the Presbyterians in Colombia is more of a reality to us rather than just an idea or a wish.  Our unity in Christ is as real to us now as the conversations we had about our lives, our shared concern for those suffer most and for the priority of education, our love and concerns about our respective countries, our love and hope for the Church, our shared meals, our smiles and laughter, and perhaps most of all, the thanks and praise we lifted together to God!  Sunday worship at the Seventh Church was amazing!  But more about that later.....
