Our very own Heather Cooper will be featured in the

Canton Symphony Orchestra concert, "An Evening of Organ

a special group rate for the concert. To be part of our

group, use code ORGAN when purchasing your ckets on

the CSO's website: cantonsymphony.org.

The writer, philosopher, and

lay theologian G.K. Chesterton

once noted that “An adventure is

only an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience

is only an adventure wrongly considered.” We get to decide,

now, if 2020 is to be experienced as a year of adventure or

misunderstood as a year of inconvenience.

Have you ever wondered if God considered incarna on

as an inconvenience? Or was it understood as an adventure?

Was incarna on something to be endured or something to

be dared, like a worthy challenge? Was incarna on a

necessity to be borne, or a venture to be experienced?

Whatever, “the Word became flesh and lived among us.”

And the crucifixion? Perhaps it is more readily seen as the

utmost of inconveniences; truly something to be borne,

suffered…endured. And yet even the prophets understood

the suffering servant would defeat the powers of this world,

rising up to rule all things on earth and in heaven. That’s an

adventure.

What is it to be a disciple of Jesus Christ? Is it an

inconvenience or an adventure? In MaKhew, Jesus responds

to those who would seek to follow him.

Now when Jesus saw great crowds around him,

he gave orders to go over to the other side. A

scribe then approached and said, “Teacher, I will

follow you wherever you go.” And Jesus said to

him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have

nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his

head.” Another of his disciples said to him, “Lord,

first let me go and bury my father.” But Jesus said

to him, “Follow me, and let the dead bury their

own dead.” (MaKhew 8:18-22)

How o7en Jesus paints the life of faith as difficult; the

life of a disciple is a life of inconvenience, bother, and

resomeness. Is there no adventure? I looked for the word

in both the Hebrew Scriptures and the New Testament, only

to find it wholly absent from both.

Yet no less a person than Corrie Ten Boom says that

“Faith is the fantas c adventure.” The adventure comes

when one decides to trust and follow Jesus. Consider the

disciples. Peter decides to take a go at walking on water.

James and John join Peter up the mountain only to see Jesus

transfigured right before their eyes. Many look on as water

is turned into wine, demons are exercised, and a storm is

calmed. The disciples witness as “the blind receive their

sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear,

the dead are raised, and the poor have good news brought

to them.” If that not an adventurous life, I don’t know what

is!

S ll, most of the disciples that followed Jesus

(remember, there were many, many more than just the

twelve), never got to par cipate in these adventures. As one

author put it,

“What most of the disciples got was exactly what

we get: long, daily conversa ons with Jesus. They

spent me with him, asked dumb ques ons,

jumped to (some mes incorrect) conclusions,

protested against the hard bits and made

embarrassing mistakes. The next day they were

back for more, learning and growing by being with

the Lord.”

Perhaps their reality helps us beKer understand our

own. Perhaps it helps us comprehend just what Chesterton

meant when he noted that “an adventure is only an

inconvenience rightly considered.”

We get to decide, now, if 2020 is to be a year of

adventure or a year of inconvenience. One physical loca on

we will each experience the adventure/inconvenience

dichotomy is in the building we base our community and

ministry life. Construc on ac vity begins immediately a7er

Easter. Prepare for some inconvenience…like demons

excised, storms calmed, and water turned to wine.

EGYPT ADVENTURE…PART II

As many of you will remember, General Presbyter Rev. MaK Skolnik and I journeyed to Egypt in January of

2019 for the purpose of evalua ng several ministry opportuni es proposed to the Mackinaw Presbytery by Dr.

Hany Rizkalla (Dr. Hany). This past summer CPC members had the opportunity to get to know Dr.

Hany during his me among us teaching and preaching.

As the result of ongoing discussions, the Presbytery has decided to con nue the process of

rela onship building with Dr. Hany, and with the 400 churches he has established up and down the Nile River.

One task of vital importance is the con nuing professional development of the pastors serving those churches.

Most of the pastors and lay leaders who serve these churches have liKle or no seminary training.

A team from the Presbytery will return to Egypt in February 2020. That team is s ll being put together and the full

“scope of task” is con nuing to evolve. I have agreed to join the team and have been assigned the task of teaching a mul -

day homile cs class (a class on preaching). MaK will be teaching a class in conflict resolu on (Where two or more are

gathered…). Other classroom and service possibili es are s ll being developed. See the February Tydings for a completed

ministry agenda. My “ask” here is for prayer; for safe travel, effec ve teaching, meaningful service, deeper rela onships, to

the end that God is glorified through faithful mission.

from the

Deacons’ Bench The Deacons would like to thank everyone who helped make

the events of Advent a liKle brighter by volunteering with us!

The Food, Clothing, and Prayer Christmas party was a huge

success as over 120 of our friends were served. Thank you

also to those who spent their me caroling to some of our

homebound members. If you know of anyone with a need or

desire for homebound visita on from a Deacon, please let

the office know and we will be sure to meet them personally.

As we move into 2020, please keep the Deacons in your

prayers and if you are called to help, but aren't sure where to

begin we can always find a place for willing hands!

An Open Invita8on from the Music Ministry

As we slip from the beau ful mania of Advent,

Christmas and Epiphany into the somewhat slower

rhythms of Ordinary me, the Music Ministry catches its

breath for a moment. From the ever-busy work of the

Chancel Choir to the recent efforts of the Handbell

Ringers and Children’s Choir, worship leaders in music at

CPC come from all segments of the church community,

all volunteers serving to worship our Creator God

through the wonder of musical crea vity.

During this next month or so, I invite any who have

considered being a part of this ministry to “try us out.” If

you have ever wondered what those crazy Thursday

nights with the Chancel Choir are like, come and see for

yourself. The month of January is a good me for us to

introduce new members during the calm between

Advent/Christmas and Lent/Easter. If singing does not

suit your comfort level, try Handbells when they

reconvene in a few weeks. If you have other musical

gi7s, share them with Heather or me, and we will try

and engage them in increasingly crea ve ways.

We believe musical worship, whether by leaders in song

or the congrega on as a whole, to be a precious gi7 that

should not be hoarded by a few, but shared by all. We

hope you will consider this invita on sincerely and will

join us as we sing and play God’s praises with heart,

mind, soul, and spirit.

Blessings to all,

BriK Cooper

Have you remembered your

church in your will?

We are an ac ve and giving

congrega on. Besides giving to CPC each year, many of us also give to other chari es in Stark

County and beyond. When we pass on, however, many of us do not think to include the church in our wills. God has

indeed been generous to us. Let us plan to return some of our wealth back to God to con nue the work of this church. Please consider making a bequest to Christ

Church in your will. You can amend your will with a call to your aKorney. For ques ons about making a bequest to

CPC, feel free to contact any member of the Endowment Ministry (Jack Burnquist, Roger Gray, Teresa Houston,

Linda Norton, or Steve Stocker).

A7er a blessing, Session enjoyed a meal prepared by Shawn

Campbell. We then proceeded to approve the Clerk’s report and receive

the Financial Report for November. Church finances are close to plan.

Mo ons were adopted for paying Per Capita appor onment to

Presbytery, Synod, & General Assembly, spending for new windows on

the East side of the church, for approval of the “Guide and Worksheet for

Funerals at Christ Presbyterian Church,” and for spending up to $18,000

for new staff computers and new church website.

Reports:

Pastor Michael will be organizing the Interfaith Community

Thanksgiving celebra on in the future together with the priest from St.

Michael’s (Pastor Michael preached at it this year). Bi-centennial efforts

con nue to review/digi ze the archives of church. Pastor Michael will

meet with First Ladies Library to plan re-enactment of McKinley-Saxton

wedding in 2021 (150th

anniversary of the wedding). Pastor Michael plans

to have the “Soul Shock” workshop (which equips people to help those

who are suicidal) offered to the congrega on in conjunc on with

Presbytery on March 7, and at Wakonda on June 8. The Wakonda

workshop will include all camp staff. Pastor Michael was selected by

Presbytery as an alternate commissioner to General assembly in

Bal more this year.

Pastor Dave reported Presbytery is organizing return trip to Egypt in

February 2020 and he will par cipate and will teach courses to new

pastors there. Elder Nancy Irving will also par cipate in the trip. Pastor’s

Bible Study on the book of Job will start in January. The new Church sign

at the corner of Tusc and McKinley is proceeding- permits are in hand, the

tree is down and work should start soon.

Pastor Ben reported he is s ll finalizing Camp winteriza on and has

winter projects lined up. He is looking to hire a year-round part me

maintenance person and seeks candidates for that. He has most of the

planning complete for the Madrigal Feast. He finished his term as

Presbytery moderator. In February, he will preach at Central Presbyterian

(Massillon) and Westminster Presbyterian (Akron). He is planning to

“Take Wakonda on the road” to Coshocton. Staff will go to Coshocton

and run a “Wakonda in the City” type event, with lodging and funding by

host church. He noted that the FFA camp at Leesville Lake is offering to

sell an all-season lodge and lease of 4 acres adjacent to Wakonda.

Jerry Norton reported on Spirit and Space. Of significance was

receipt of an anonymous $150,000 matching pledge for all new pledges

and gi7s, which, if fulfilled, will increase available funding by $300,000

and bring the project to the total needed for the scope currently

envisioned. Detailed design work is underway on all aspects of the

project.

Nancy Irving reported on the 12-14-19 Presbytery mee ng. Of

interest is the challenge “10,000 cups of Joe” from Execu ve Presbyter

MaK Skolnick to Presbytery members to meet with others over coffee and

document it with a post to Presbytery Facebook page. The poster of the

most mee ngs will get to designate the recipient of a $1,000 mission

grant.

The mee ng ended with prayers for members and friends of the

Congrega on, and worship led by Elder Nancy Irving.
