Dear friends,

 

Hope you will consider hosting CCI on our tour next March and April. Every church that has hosted us in the past has been amazed at how wonderful the program is. We bring 7 performers for an evening of Thai dance and drama that will be beautiful, entertaining, and express God's love wonderfully. We ask churches to provide host families for the night we perform, and provide meals, and a gift of $500-1500 to cover our expenses. We can perform on almost any stage, but need some help so we can hang a cloth backdrop.

 

Hope you are well. God is moving at Payap University.

Who are we?  This is a question of identity.  We would all say we are Christian-disciples of Christ.  As churches together we are known as the Muskingum Valley Presbytery.  Why do we work together for Christ?  That is a question of purpose, or calling.  We have come to understand we are called and exist to:

  • Equip and encourage leaders and churches in living their call,
  • Nourish and build spiritually and emotionally healthy congregations,
  • Nurture, challenge and support disciples to be Christ in the world.

In order to equip, nourish and nurture, we each must continue to be equipped, nourished and nurtured.  Understanding this, six and a half years ago Debbie Rundlett was called to serve as our General Presbyter.  We understand her presence in our life as a gift.  She has led with faith, wisdom, passion and compassion.  We have all experienced this through pastor cohorts, leadership training events, transitional support, conflict support and in her ability to weave us into a strong network of relating churches and individuals.  We know of her deep, deep desire for her own personal growth directed, in the end, to equipping, nourishing and nurturing us.

 

To this end, Debbie has stated her desire to "trade in" her Sabbatical to do post graduate work in positive organizational development at Case Western University.  Case is internationally recognized for their work in community transformation.  The 14-month program educates and develops leaders in the creation of sustainable structures which contribute to both individual and community well-being. 

 

To do this, she needs our support: both participatory and financial.  On the participatory end, she is asking us to prayerfully consider taking part in either hosting an Appreciative Inquiry Summit, participating in a cohort, or "testing" the materials she develops in your congregational setting.  She will provide greater detail on this need at the September meeting.

 

The greatest challenging obstacle to Debbie participating in this program is funding.  The tuition totals $69,000, plus travel and immersion expenses.  Case has provided a tuition grant of $20,000.  Debbie will personally contribute $18,500, as well as her continuing education moneys for 2013 and 2014. The Total Living Center and a presbytery leader, getting a sense that something special is in the making, have already pledged $500.00 each! First United Presbyterian Church in Alliance has pledged $6,000!  Each member of the Presbytery Council has made a personal pledge of support, the total of which is yet tallied.

 

We believe this is a good and worthy direction for Debbie and for the Muskingum Valley Presbytery.  The reality is that we still need to raise approximately $18,500 to fund the venture, and we pray you and your congregation will consider a mission gift to make it all happen.  Some churches will be able to forward $100, others $500, and others $1,000.  Together, we can continue to equip, nourish and nurture, Debbie, one another...and the world in the faith and new life Jesus has to offer each of us.

 

We ask you to take this request to your Session, prayerfully consider the wonder, growth and future that might be born through it, and respond generously.  May the Lord bless you and keep us as, together, we work out the future God has in store for us.

 

In Christ,

  

Dave de Vries

Chair, Council

 

 

A Good Question...

 

A good question is not a bolt to be tightened into place, but a seed to be planted toward the greening of the landscape of faith. John Cicardi, poet

 

Developmental psychologists tell us that there are four perennial questions: Who am I? What are my gifts? What is my work? And, what is my legacy?

 

As Christians, we know that there are faith questions that inform the living of these developmental questions: Who is my God? Who is my neighbor? What is my call? We also know that the developmental questions of who and what, cannot be answered apart from naming our God and neighbor and call. To claim Jesus as the Messiah is to claim a particular way of being.

 

To journey with Jesus to touch the world involves...

 

-          Living our lives as sent people;

-          Engaging with our culture without being absorbed by its values;

-          Practicing hospitality by welcoming the stranger in our midst;

-          Putting the needs of our neighbor before our own;

-          Relying upon God in all that we do;

-          Daily meeting the Triune God in prayer;

-          Daily feeding on the Word;

-          Helping others to discover their call and develop their gifts in service to the world.

 

Glenn McDonald in his book The Disciplemaking Church identifies six "good" questions, which are worthy of our reflection:

 

-          Who is your Lord? When everything is said and done, whose agenda are you really following?

-          Who are you? At the beginning of each day do you wake up knowing that you'll have to go out and win your share of security and significance or can you truly say that those are priceless gifts you have already received from God?

-          Who is your Barnabas? Who is your spiritual mentor, the one from whom you are learning to follow Jesus?

-          Who is your Timothy? Who is your apprentice, the one to whom you are passing on the lessons that God has entrusted to you?

-          Where is your Antioch? What small cadre of special friends is helping you to discern God's special direction for your life?

-          Where is your Macedonia? What field of work is most closely aligned with God's call on your life and hauntingly stirs your deepest passions?

 

How might these questions serve as a "seed to be planted toward the greening of the landscape of (your) faith"?

 

 

 

Deborah Rundlett, general presbyter

     

 

 

Holy Habit: Living the Question

 

Over the course of this next week, set aside time each day to ponder the six questions below. You might even consider journaling your responses or reflecting on your responses with a trusted friend. On the seventh day, spend some time pondering how God is seeking to speak to you through these questions.

 

Were there any questions that you would have liked to respond to differently? Is God calling you to live the question in a new way? How might these "good questions" serve as "seeds to be planted toward the greening of the landscape of faith," even as we remember the words of Jesus: Unless a kernel of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it does, it produces many seeds (John 12:24).

 

Six Questions:

 

-          Who is your Lord? When everything is said and done, whose agenda are you really following?

-          Who are you? At the beginning of each day do you wake up knowing that you'll have to go out and win your share of security and significance or can you truly say that those are priceless gifts you have already received from God?

-          Who is your Barnabas? Who is your spiritual mentor, the one from whom you are learning to follow Jesus?

-          Who is your Timothy? Who is your apprentice, the one to whom you are passing on the lessons that God has entrusted to you?

-          Where is your Antioch? What small cadre of special friends is helping you to discern God's special direction for your life?

-          Where is your Macedonia? What field of work is most closely aligned with God's call on your life and hauntingly stirs your deepest passions?

From the Clerk's Desk:

 

Please include in your prayers to hold up all those around the world who are suffering from natural disasters. I do not subscribe to the theory that these should be called "acts of God." I do believe that God mourns along with us and calls us to respond however we can, as individuals and as congregations, to alleviate some of that suffering. Your generous financial support of Presbyterian Disaster Assistance and Church World Service helps to dispel our feelings of helplessness. I encourage you to let your children know how we all can help--this sends a message to our children that every act of kindness and compassion makes a difference.

 

Our next presbytery gathering will be on Saturday, September 29th, at Christ Presbyterian Church in Canton. I hope that each person attending will bring large jars of peanut butter and jelly to help stock the shelves of the church's community food distribution program that serves ever-increasing numbers of hungry children and adults.

A time & place away from the rush...

"Be Not Afraid!"

Wounds & Healings  

As Christians we experience pain in our churches as well as in our own families. The people and events of our lives can leave wounds that influence us the rest of our lives. "In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength," (Isaiah 30:15).   

In this beautiful setting, we will explore why Elijah and Jonah felt most alone at key times of their lives and then discover the many sources of healings Jesus offers to us. Each participant is asked to bring a picture, poem, sculpture, sheet music or YouTube video that has been a source of comfort or healing.

 

Our time will be divided among small groups of three; whole group time (including Communion); and time for solitude (by the lake, on the porch, having coffee with another participant, sitting in front of the fireplace or strolling on nearby trails

The Spirit in Simeon

 

Now there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon;* this man was righteous and devout, looking forward to the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit rested on him. 26It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Messiah.* 27Guided by the Spirit, Simeon* came into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him what was customary under the law, 28Simeon* took him in his arms and praised God, saying,


29 'Master, now you are dismissing your servant
* in peace,
   according to your word;
30 for my eyes have seen your salvation,
31   which you have prepared in the presence of all peoples,
32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles
   and for glory to your people Israel.'

 

33And the child's father and mother were amazed at what was being said about him. 34Then Simeon* blessed them and said to his mother Mary, 'This child is destined for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be opposed 35so that the inner thoughts of many will be revealed-and a sword will pierce your own soul too.'

 

Prayer in the Spirit within Simeon  

 

Pray in the Spirit that held Simeon for many years of hopeful waiting, faithful service, and righteous living.  

 

Pray in the Spirit of the tradition that provides us a structure to be in the position to hold Christ when he came in a new and tender way.

 

Pray in the Spirit that inspires one to be watchful, opens one's eyes to see, and gives the light by which Christ is revealed.

 

Pray in the Spirit that strengthens us to hold together the challenges of faith:

    • The rising and falling of all
    • The piercing of the heart of love & the promise of love revealed
    • Some will choose dark ways over the ways of light. Some will choose light.

Pray in the Spirit that helps us depart in peace; to let go of the challenges of life, knowing we have done our part, the light has come, and the world is in God's hands. Our work is done.  

 

If Simeon's prayer is a guide for us to live daily in the Spirit of hope and courage and not in a spirit of impatience and anxiety, how would our lives as spiritual leaders look?

 
 

  

Planting Time  

 "...Welcome the word planted deep inside you-the very word that is able to save you."
(James 1:21 Common English Bible)

  

This summer I'm enjoying the harvest of Ray's little garden and some of your larger ones- tomatoes, lettuce, zucchini, beans, and peas. This produce deliciously satisfies my taste for a fresh salad along with my hunger. Even before it nourishes my body, it fills me with awe at the miracle of seeds growing and producing fruit.  

  

In a similar way, I witness the growing season of faith among Morgan County Presbyterians. For example, a small Bible verse or song planted in childhood memory sustains you in a crisis. Or, a cultivated habit of daily Bible reading keeps you going when nothing else helps.  

  

If this doesn't sound familiar, don't despair. It's never too late to accept seeds of faith God wants to embed in your souls. Planting time is NOW!

  

Do you long to ask (or hear!) a simple question and find a faith-feast beyond your wildest dreams? Do you wish you could discuss a familiar Bible story and discover a surprising flavor to spice your life? Do you hanker for a conversation about what you heard or thought on Sunday morning? Do you crave a discovery that you're not the only one with the same hunger? 

 

These are on the regular menu in study and fellowship groups, thanks to God's grace and the Spirit's power. Thriving disciples need a steady diet of them, too. You need not dine alone! Here's what's on the adult table this fall. If your discipleship whets your appetite for something you don't see, talk with an elder or me.  

  • Bible study - digests a book of the Bible (currently Genesis) chapter by chapter-Tuesday mornings,10:30 a.m., Gaylord Hall-contact Sherry Marshall
  • This We Believe - chews on "truths Presbyterians affirm" picking up with chapter 5-2nd & 4th Wednesdays, 7 p.m., Gaylord Hall-contact Pastor Barbara
  • Men's Fellowship - savors friendship, fun, & food along with enriching programs-3rd Thursdays, 7 p.m., Gaylord Hall-contact Howard Troutner

MISSION PROJECTS AT CRESTON PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

 

As we near the end of summer, Creston Presbyterian Church has been actively involved in community mission projects. During July and the beginning of August, we took part in the 1st Annual "Cram the Cruiser" School Supply Collection. Several churches in Creston worked together along with the community to fill a police cruiser with school supplies for needy children in Norwayne Schools. The cruiser took part in the community parade during the Ox Roast early in August.   In addition to school supplies, monetary donations were also received. The project was a great success.

 

At the end of August, five Creston churches along with some organizations met to begin a CROP Walk for Hunger. Rev. Alice Phillips is coordinating the walk. Alice worked with Church World Service/CROP one summer years ago and started and coordinated a CROP Walk in her previous pastorate as well. The goal for Creston is to raise $2,500.00. The walk will be held on October 7, 2012, at 2:00 P.M. at Creston Park. Should you have questions regarding possibly starting a CROP Walk in your community or other projects sponsored by Church World Service (i.e. Blanket Sundays, School Kits, and Health Kits), Alice would gladly share her experience.

 

In October, Creston Presbyterian will also be beginning their 4th year of ASHAPP. (After School Homework Assistance Program Plus). Each Tuesday, children are transported by school bus to the church. We help children in grades 1-3 with homework, provide a hot meal, and provide a Christian Education hour, in addition to providing a lot of love and encouragement. 

 

The Creston Presbyterian Church is a very mission minded church. The congregation has been involved in mission for years. These are just some of our newest adventures.

IS E-MAIL THE NEW PARKING LOT?   

by Susan Nienaber

 

It is more than a little ironic that you are reading an e-mail message that is about to warn you of the dangers of e-mail, but here goes:

 

You may be familiar with--perhaps even have participated in--"parking lot meetings."  Those unofficial conversations (often held in parking lots following official meetings) that tend to undermine decisions, complain about individuals, and stir up discontent.  They are extremely effective forms of communication, but they are not always helpful.  In some important ways, e-mail has become the new "parking lot meeting.  It spreads information (accurate or not) quickly and widely, it is impossible to stop, and it can be very damaging.

 

Many of us could not do our jobs without e-mail, certainly not me.  I depend on e-mail to schedule appointments, share documents and stay connected with various groups. The Internet, with its e-mail and blogging, is an important technological advance that helps us work more effectively and efficiently.  Many churches are making excellent use of these new electronic resources in very creative ways.  Indeed, Alban depends largely on e-mail to communicate with you.

 

However, when a congregation is in the midst of conflict, the Internet, and particularly e-mail, can become a serious problem. Just about every church I consult with these days is dealing with the downside of computer technology as they struggle with conflict.

Friends,

 

The Synod, along with the Presbytery of Detroit, will be offering Disaster Training on September 13 & 14, 2012. Below is information regarding this training and a registration form.  It is suggested that presbyteries send 3 to 5 representatives.

 

Presbyteries would pay for travel and overnight accommodations. However, if this becomes a burden, the synod has some extra funds to help with the accommodations. The synod will pay for catered meals.

 

If you have any questions please contact me.
