“You are the light of the world. Let your light shine before people, so they can see

the good things you do and praise your Father, who is in heaven.” - Matthew 5:

14,16

Jesus is addressing the disciples and teaching them what it means to live as those who follow him. In John’s gospel Jesus declares himself the Light of the World. But in the Sermon on the Mount as recorded by Matthew, Jesus calls those who would follow him to be light for the world. In addition to the good things which we do, Jesus invites us to embrace God’s light in such a way that we be-come a source of light to others. The Stewardship Team selected Matthew’s text and the theme: BE THE LIGHT for this year’s financial commitment initiative. The text connects with stewardship in several ways. First, when we give to God through the church we do a good thing. It provides the church and the General Fund with the income needed to do the work of ministry and mission. It allows us to provide seniors a low cost meal and fellowship every Tuesday, to send out Kids Hope tutors, to train Ste-phen Ministries, to host Justice for Our Neighbors, to offer Christian education to adults, youth and children, and to begin a new Congregational Care Ministry. All of these and more are ways in which we shine the light of Christ in a world in need. Secondly, when we give to God through the church we praise God by choosing to give God our hard earned money when we could just as easily spend it on ourselves. Finally, when we give to God through the church it changes us. The practice of giving our money teaches us about the practice of giving of our-selves to others in Christ’s name. We become the light as we give of ourselves- our money, our time, and our abilities-in service to our neighbors. And God is praised by our living and our giving. On November 23, we will receive an Ingathering of Thanksgiving and Commit-ment. We will collect your Commitment Cards and we will collect offerings of food for the local food pantry. It will be a day for us to give thanks for Jesus as the Light of the world, and a day to commit ourselves to being the light God calls us to be. Please plan to join us. Grace and peace, Pastor Lynn

Caring Ministry Sharon Rocker, Director of Care Ministries (ext. 104)

A note of appreciation for prayers and visits has been received from Mary Mowery. This note can be found on the bulletin board near the lounge in the 9th

Street hallway. Lois Mitchell also called in a thank you for the cards she received for her birthday.

THANK YOU!! The October blood drive was a complete success in which we met

our goal of 51 pints of blood. THANK YOU!! For the second year in a row, the Peace With Justice group adopted the fall blood drive, by setting it up, staffing the regis-tration and refreshment tables, and helping reload the Red Cross truck (they were

great!). WILL YOU?? Consider adopting a blood drive. Are you part of a group? Do you have any family and/or friends at all? It just takes a couple people at any one time to run a drive, but more are certainly welcomed. There are a lot of creative ways to incorporate an activity that just oozes community service with some friendly social activity. Children - especially tweens and teens - make excellent volunteers, and learn first hand how easy it is to give something back to their "neighbors" (and even to "strangers"). Tim Haney has lots of suggestions for making your blood drive a enjoyable and worthwhile experience. You can contact him at tyoungh58@hotmail.com The Red Cross has asked FUMC to consider hosting a fourth blood drive in April. Your adopting just one blood

drive - and the same time each year - makes doing them so much easier. THE NEXT BLOOD DRIVE IS

DECEMBER 14. Don't wait for Tim to hunt you down - grab a friend and volunteer today.

The CONGREGATIONAL

CARE program is up and run-ning! Check bulletin boards at each door to find your group and your Con-gregational Care Minister. Your Care Minister will be, or has already been, in touch with you.

We hope you have read and/or heard about the new Congregational Care program. The congregation of Holland First United Methodist Church has been gath-ered into care groups alphabetically, which will be shepherded by a Congregational Care Minister. This minister will offer another way to access care for you and your family.

Your Minister will be in prayer for you. Your minister will contact you at least once a month, to see how you are doing, listen to your needs, if you have them, and put you in touch with the appropriate resources in our church. We hope this will further build the caring community of our members as we serve one another.

Report from our Lake Louise Work Camp Team:

Our main job for this fall centered on constructing the two new cabins from the cement slab up. We basically finished the outside wall logs, along with mounting the gable ends, and truss up on the Marshall cabin. The second, the Mason Shaw Sharp cabin had all the log walls up to the top plate ready for the truss to go up. We also helped clean cabins and the Retreat rooms for the incoming guest group that weekend. We reduced the circumference of the split rail fence of the Retreat Center front yard. Garbage cans and contents

were gather and put away along with picnic tables for the winter. Office work, and filing were also a great help to Lake Louise administration. Over all a super nice week weather wise along with great work produc-tivity. Those on the team, working from Sept. 21-25 were: Gene Wong, Liz Carr, Al & Peg Minert, Dean & Mary DeRidder, Carl Virta, Jake Eberly, Janet Hardenberg, and Tom Webber. Lake Louise UM Camp is in Boyne Falls MI.

The Kerstmarkt Food Booth is located at the City Winter Market at the Civic Center one block west of the Church. They sell warm Pig in the Blankets, Soup, Mettwurst, Hot Dogs, Coffee, and Cider. The youth help to serve along with adults. Come for lunch or supper or buy Pigs by the dozen. If you can help out on any of these dates, call Mary Jo Wiswedel at 335-9522. It begins on November 22 from 9-3 and continues on the 28 from 9-8 and the 29 from 9-5. The December dates are 2, 5, 6, 12, and 13. The Tuesday and Friday times are 3:00 - 8:00 and Saturday times are 9:00 - 5:00.

There has been some interest in having an evening Circle for those who are busy during the day. Being part of a circle gives us a chance to enrich our lives by making new friends, having fun and supporting each other as we work together for missions. If you are interested call Pat Barrett at 399-4354 or email barrettl@sbcglobal.net

Our Annual Church Conference will take place on Tuesday, November 18 at 7:00 PM in the Sanctuary. This is the church’s annual meeting where officers are elected and the pastor’s salary is set. All members have a vote so please come and make your voice heard.

Justice for our Neighbors (JFON) Update

On a Saturday in October, JFON held a Green Card Refugee Clinic for the first time. Over twenty volun-teers offered to help including some Hope College stu-dents. Volunteers were trained that morning and then the families came. It was held 9:00 until 1:00 p.m. in the afternoon.

On Saturday, November 22nd JFON will assist the Intersection Ministries with their Citizenship Classes to complete everything needed to send to the govern-ment. Each client has to pay a fee (around $800) but needs to fill out forms with the help of a volunteer. Volunteers are trained online for over an hour and then meet that morning for any questions.

On September 27, Linda Den Uyl gave a three minute talk on what JFON is and why she is a volunteer with it for the District UMW meeting. Late October, Lee Strebel gave a three minute talk on JFON to the His-panic pastors in our area. Special thanks to these two JFON volunteers.

Now is the time to show your support. JFON-West Michigan has opportunity to collect $5k bonus from National Justice for our Neighbors, if we can receive the same amount or more in private donations. Make your gift count by donating today! If giving a small amount each month is a better option for you - you can sign up as a Sustaining Giver! Check out www.jfonwestmichigan.org
