giving generously is a matter of trusting...
TRANSCRIPT
In Judaism, the principal of Charity is called Tzedakah ערקה This word is derived from the Hebrew root Tzadei-Dalet-Qof, which means righteousness, justice or fairness. Helping the poor and needy is a duty in Judaism, but it is not really viewed as a magnanimous act by the wealthy for the benefit of the needy, but rather an act of justice in giving the poor their fair share. According to Jewish tradition, the spiritual benefit of giving to the poor is so great that a beggar actually does the giver a favor by giving a person the opportunity to perform tzedakah. This is the idea that the giver is blessed by the giving.
In all three religions, giving generously is a matter of trusting God. It is something that is asked of everyone, not just the rich. The Bible has many stories of people giving all that they had, even when what they had was only a few coins or their last loaf of bread. When we hoard things for ourselves, we are saying to God, “I don’t trust you to provide for my needs.”
St. Paul in his letter to the Corinthian church acknowledges that God is the source of our generosity who abundantly provides the means to be generous. Paul is not asking the Corinthians to give as if they were the initiator and the source of generosity. Since God is the source and the means of generosity, giving generously is a matter of trusting God.
The ultimate goal of generosity is that it glorifies God. Our obedience to generous giving produces renewed and enriched relationships between the giver, the receiver and God. Those who exercise this spiritual practice know the rewards reaped from generosity. If you have not made giving a part of your spiritual life, I challenge you to try it. The rewards you receive in return will be all the blessing you need as evidence that this principal not only blesses the one who receives but also the giver.
Be thankful for all good things, by giving a portion away to those less fortunate. If all were to practice this principal we would live in a society that was truly equal.
Trusting God through my giving,
Giving Generously Is A Matter Of Trusting God Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you
need, you will abound in every good work. As it is written: “They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor;
their righteousness endures forever.” 2nd Corinthians 9:6-9
When the air becomes more crisp and we say goodbye to summer; as the leaves begin to turn an array of burnt oranges, deep reds and rich browns, my mind always seems to turn toward Thanksgiving. For this is the time of year that our nation remembers all we have to be thankful for. And I cannot help but then turn my gratitude to God who scripture says is the giver of all good things.
I believe that when we are truly grateful for what we have been given, our natural response is to share abundantly with others. When we share out of our abundance we reap generous rewards. As the scripture above says, through our giving God is able to bless us with all that we need. It is a never-ending cycle: we give out of what we received and are blessed for it, so that we can give some more. If we keep up our end of the giving, the blessings will perpetually flow right back to us again.
Generosity is not only a Christian principal but one that is also found in Islam and Judaism. One of the five pillars of Islam is Zakāt which is Charity. The Islamic principal is the practice of charitable giving based on accumulated wealth. The word zakāt can be defined as purification and growth because it allows an individual to achieve balance and encourages new growth. It is the personal responsibility of each Muslim to ease the economic hardship of others and to strive toward eliminating inequality.

Dear Members of the Brookville Church Family, For the pat several years we have asked each member of the church to consider paying his or her share of the item in our budget called “Classis Assessment.” This is a per capita levy made annually, upon each church in the Reformed Church in America, which is used to carry out the administrative work of the denomination. This includes the administrative work of the General Synod (Our denominational annual meeting), The Regional Synod of New York that oversees the region’s churches, as well as our Classis of Nassau/Suffolk, which includes all the Reformed Churches on Long Island. This assessment is based on the figure that the church reports as it’s “Active Members.” The total assessment for Brookville Church for 2016 is $5,866.85. The amount per church member is $106.67. We are 9 months into the year and have only received 6 donations totaling $645.75. This leaves the church with a balance of $5,221.10 left to pay for the year. So, WE NEED YOUR HELP, in covering this cost for our church. Please prayerfully consider sending in a donation for each member of your household that is active in the life of our church. You can print and cut out the form below and mail it to the church along with your check made out to Brookville Reformed Church OR, you can Give Online by clicking the Online Giving link at the bottom of the page. You will need to select the Classis Assessment Fund when you give online, so we know to use your gift for the right purpose. God loves a cheerful giver! Thank you, Rev. Vicky L. Eastland, on behalf of the Consistory/Board of Brookville Church

THIS IS NOT~ A CLEVER VERSE ~ I TRIED ~ AND TRIED ~ BUT JUST ~ GOT WORSE
ReflectionsReflections
Branch WorshamEND WORD: “Trust and faith bring joy to life and help relationships grow to their maximum potential.” ~ Joyce Meyer, A charismatic TV speaker “Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.” ~ Corrie Ten Boom, A member of the Dutch Reformed Church who saved Jews in WW2
My parents had just entered their twenties and the Great Depression was only five years past when they got married. I know what kind of education Mom had because I knew of her teachers in the same school I attended just twelve years later. My Dad did not finish high school in a nearby town and walked ten miles to visit Mom. Despite their simple beginning at that difficult time they, and many others, got married and raised my generation. There surely were books about raising a family, but few had money enough for that. Every day they lived the phrase by the seat of their pants. My brother and I were brought up learning that what our parents said was right and we had better do as they say. It became clear as we grew that our parents and their friends were good people who did what they said and had confidence in us youngsters that we were on the right track. Without saying the words we were beginning to understand that there was a layer of trust being built both ways. Our behavior when out and about was expected to ‘be good’—it fulfilled their trust in us. All of our friends were being raised the same way. Yes, there were others, not friends, who were trouble makers and we recognized that they were not like us; we were uncomfortable with them and learned we could know them but should not trust them. Then, and now, most young people live in good homes with parents who raise their children as best they can, sometimes with results way beyond their expectations. The system was parceled out amongst the homes, schools, and churches; the adults all accepted their responsibility to lead the young people on the right path. We learned to trust others with phrases like: I promise you and I give you my word. Those words were the underlying principles that formed our ability to trust others. When I was accepted for West Point, I truly had no idea what was coming; I was not an athlete, didn’t know I was smart enough and had never been on a visit to the Academy. When I walked through the stone gates the layers of trust were ratcheted way up. In the first weeks we learned the motto, Duty, Honor, Country, with a heavy dose of the trust cornerstone that we would not lie, cheat or steal. What my parents had put into me made the transition from schoolboy to cadet pretty easy. Their simple traits were folded into the guiding principles expected of cadets by cadets. During the four years at the Academy these principles became awesome influences. We had developed trust in everyone at the Academy and later everyone who ever had a connection with West Point. After graduation and in the active Army, other officers, and other military personnel of all ranks were also accepted as trustworthy, and most did not disappoint. Along the way time followed its course carrying events with it. I left the Army and found most people around me were trustworthy, however, some tried to pretend they were and others were below the bottom layer of trustworthy. With maturity it became easier to recognize those who were and were not. It often was not what I saw or what I heard, but what I felt. I still continue to go forward with trust because I have Faith. You know the temptations of the world are powerfully enticing. It is easier to succumb to them than to ‘be good’ as our parents taught. It is so simple to destroy trust. The Cadet Prayer has an admonishment “to choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong,” which we said often enough to make it a part of our decision making process. That phrase became a principle close to my heart. Now, sixty years later, when I have observed our children and grandchildren struggle with ‘being good’ I recognize the nascent trust that is the goal of honorable people, parents and leaders. I trust myself and have learned the most important lesson in life: trust God in all things. That leads to knowing each day will come out right. It took me a long time to really live that kind of trust every day, but oh, the amazing life it provides. Now we are in a still young multifaith community. So many new people, people who would NEVER have even been acquaintances much less trusted friends, are a joy to know and share love with. Everyone I have met has been an instant trusted friend and that is something I might not have considered except for this column. The love and trust that emanates from everyone proves to me that what we are doing is on the road to success. It seems to be a slow process, but we must trust God that in His time we will see more evidence that we are on the right path. Last night I finished reading The Count of Monte Cristo for the third time and was stunned by the final words. “…all human wisdom is contained in the words Wait and hope.”
A Cadet will not lie, cheat, steal or tolerate those who do. ~ Honor Code, United States Military Academy
The High Holy Days
~Rabbi Stuart A. Paris, HaKohen
The festival of Rosh HaShanah is observed on the 1st day of the Hebrew month of Tishrei (this year corresponding to October 3rd). In Hebrew, Rosh HaShanah means, literally, "Head of the Year," and, as its name indicates, it is the beginning of the new Jewish year, 5777. Rosh HaShanah is not just a Jewish holiday. Rosh HaShanah is the birthday of humankind, the anniversary of the creation of Adam and Eve, highlighting the special relationship between God and humanity. In the beginning, before we were here, creation could be in only one direction. God spoke and the world came to be. When we were created, God said, “Let us create man/woman in our own image.” And from that day forward, our Divine mission is to be co-creators with God in the continuing act of creation. Every year, that act of creation replays on the awesome day of Rosh HaShanah, when our fate stands in the balance as God reviews our past year and decides
whether or not to renew our lease on His planet. In the Bible, Rosh HaShanah is called “The Day of the Shofar Blast.” That’s the mitzvah (commandment) of the day: to hear the blasts of the shofar. The blasts of the shofar are wake-up calls. Rosh HaShanah is the time to shake out of our spiritual slumber, reconnect to our source, and recommit to our divine mission in this world. The period between Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur is called the Ten Days of Repentance, or in Hebrew the Asseret Yimei Teshuva. During this time Jews contemplate repentance and ask for forgiveness from anyone we may have wronged. The Ten Days allow each person to mend his/her ways to balance the scale of good and bad deeds in life. One of the ongoing themes of the Ten Days is the concept that God has a “Book” that He writes our names in, thus deciding our fate for the next year. “The Book” is opened on Rosh HaShanah and our actions during the Ten Days can alter God’s decree. The actions that change the decree are "teshuvah, tefilah and tzedakah," repentance, prayer, good deeds (usually, charity). “The Book” is sealed on Yom Kippur for another year. Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish year, is observed on the 10th day of the Hebrew month of Tishrei (this year corresponding to October 12th). Yom Kippur commemorates the day when God forgave us for the sin of the Golden Calf. Forty days after hearing God say at Mount Sinai, “You shall not have the gods of others in My presence; you shall not make for yourself a graven image,” we committed the sin of idolatry. Moses spent nearly three months on top of the mountain pleading with God for forgiveness, and on the tenth of Tishrei it was finally granted: “Sawlachti” (“I have pardoned, as you have requested.”) From that moment on, this day, known as the Day of Atonement—a day of fasting and prayer, is annually observed as a commemoration of our special relationship with God, a relationship that is strong enough to survive any rocky bumps it might encounter. This is a day when we connect with the very essence of our being, which remains faithful to God regardless of our outward behavior. We fast from sundown to sundown. We conclude this day with one final blast of the shofar and we “break fast” with family and friends. Yom Kippur is the one day of the year when we are able to tap into the deepest level of our soul, which is truly one with God. Our connection with God is like the bond between parent and child—so deep, so essential, that it can never be severed. On Yom Kippur, God looks at us and sees part of Himself, the pure soul that can never, ever be damaged or blemished. In the face of such a strong revelation of our essence, not only are we forgiven, but any negative actions we have done become completely irrelevant. In that moment, the board is wiped clean. We are given the chance to start anew.
On Rosh HaShanah we say, “Shanah Tovah” — Happy New Year On Yom Kippur we say, “G’mar Chatimah Tovah” — May you be inscribed and sealed for a good year

2nd Annual Kids for Kids Coffeehouse October 29th at 4pm plus
Camp Warwick Sunday October 30th at 10am
Last year, Carol Goglia, our Minister of Music, came up with a brilliant idea! After working with so many of our children twice a year for the plays she directs for our campus, she saw the raw talent of our children. Carol thought a great way for the kids to give back and help kids less fortunate would be to use their gifts to host an entire coffeehouse ALL KID RUN: talent, food, raffles, etc. On September 26, 2015 our kids raised money for kids to go to summer sleep away camp. It was a HUGE success! There was everything from magic tricks, break dancing and music videos to singing, gymnastics and playing of various instruments. Those with culinary talents baked for the snack bar and raffle table. AND (drum roll please!) our kids raised 750 dollars, more than enough money to send one underserved camper to Camp Warwick for a week this past summer.
It was such a great success that we are DOING IT AGAIN! So mark your calendars for October 29, 2016 @ 4:00 p.m. for our 2nd annual Kids for Kids Coffeehouse. Our goal this year is to raise enough money to send TWO kids to camp for the summer of 2017! Help us reach our goal by getting your children involved. Carol will be in touch with you regarding all the details.
AND, THE VERY NEXT DAY, October 30, 2016 will be our First Annual Camp Warwick Day during the 10 AM Worship Celebration. Emily, the camper our kids sponsored, will be here along with her family and representatives from her church: El Refugio Iglesias De Jesucristo in Levittown. Emily will be sharing about her camp experience and wants to say, “Thank you!” to the kids who sponsored her.
So MARK YOUR CALENDARS for BOTH of these exciting events!
Kids Coffee House 2015
Both the youth and adult choirs are preparing for the many musical presentations we will have beginning in October. Saturday, October 29 at 4:00 pm is the 2nd annual Kids for Kids Coffee House Concert (see page 3M for more). This is such a wonderful event! Already, the kids are hard at work preparing to entertain, cook, serve and sell raffles in order to raise money to send kids to camp this summer. I hope you will all come to the fellowship hall on October 29. It will be amazing! The Adult Choir will begin rehearsing for the Christmas Concert on October 19 at 7:30 pm in the fellowship hall. Anyone interested in singing with us, please contact me at
[email protected]. All are welcome! The kids will begin play rehearsal on October 15. We are performing a new play called: A Play In A Manger. The town of Centerville is preparing their annual Christmas Extravaganza—but this year it’s going to be bigger and better than ever, a real over-the-top display! Anyone interested in being part of this fun event, contact me at the email address below. Happy Fall!
