CHURCH FAMILY MEETING

The Trustees would like to sit down and talk with

our church family after both services on January

14th. They wish to update us on the decisions they

are making that impact all of us.

BEING MORTAL……

Our country is having a debate about health care. When I hear politicians argue about health care, I am easily

confused. Health insurance is valuable. I don’t know how a person without insurance can go to a doctor or hospital

without incurring debt. Let me share some thoughts.

As a middle class person, I received an education. I pay attention to physical fitness and food because I want

to inhabit a body that enables me to be active. So far, this body has been mostly healthy. But that is not the case with

everyone, and that is not a promise for my future.

Here are things I think about. What is my responsibility to the one who suffers through no fault of her own?

What is my responsibility to the person raised poor? The playing field is not level.

My insurance pays for an annual physical. Without you (the church), I would not have this benefit. I recently

learned my cholesterol was high. A prescription resolved that issue. I get a physical because the insurance you

provide enables me to do that. Some must choose between a physical or a car payment; a prescription or rent. Who

am I to judge the parent who pays for diapers before a physical?

As I tend to my faith each day, I also tend to my health. I didn’t like to hear the doctor tell me (as he did!)

that I put on four pounds. But as I know I can control certain habits, I am aware of other issues within me that are

overpowering. Moreover no two human are alike.

As Jesus had compassion, we are called to be compassionate. Some struggle with mental health. I get out of

bed without thinking. That’s not an obvious decision for everyone. Why are some susceptible to colds and others

not? Why does learning come so easy to some, and for others it’s just the opposite?

Humans are mortal. We are prone to a wide array of challenges, sufferings, diseases, insecurities, blemishes,

sins, handicaps, short-comings, limitations, and ailments common to each human being. But we are also people of

faith, blessed with hope, courage and the knowledge this life is not lived in vain.

My reason for writing this is to express my thanks for health insurance. That quarterly bill that comes to

church is huge; I do not take it for granted. People argue whether insurance is a right or a privilege. Insurance for me

is a gift I wish everyone could receive. Health insurance is more than a fringe benefit; it is an expression of respect

and concern.

Years ago, a woman had hemorrhaged for 12 years. How she survived, I don’t know. The story says that she

endured much under many physicians, and had spent all she had. Ugh. She came to Jesus as an anonymous spectator.

She proposed to herself that if she could just touch the fringe of his garment, she would be healed.

And that’s what happened. She touched his garment. And she was healed. No one noticed except Jesus who

said, ‘someone touched me.’ When she acknowledged that it was her, Jesus called her his daughter and he said that

her faith had made her well.

No one charged her for that healing. It was a gift. No one that day debated about who deserves health care.

There was just this beautiful moment when a woman stopped bleeding so she can tend now to the rest of her life. Is

that too much to hope for?

MARCH 2018

AND HOW ARE THE CHILDREN?

Recently I read an article from Rev. Traci Blackmon, who serves one of our denominational officers. Her

position is the Executive Minister of Justice & Local Church Ministries. She speaks both to us, a members of the

United Church of Christ, and to those outside the church - politicians and other leaders in society - taking a stand on

issues that, as people of God, we ought to be concerned about in our world. In the article I read, Rev. Blackmon talks about the Maasai tribe of East Africa. Throughout their history, and

into today, they have been known as both fierce warriors and people of great intelligence. When we greet one another, we typically say “Hello” or “How are you?” But the traditional greeting of the

Maasai warriors to one another, still used commonly today, is "Kasserian Engeri," which means "And how are the

children?" The traditional response - even for warriors who have no children of their own - is to say, "All the

children are well." For the Maasai people, all the children are well means that peace and safety prevail; the priorities

of protecting the young and the powerless are in place; that the Maasai people have not forgotten their reason for

being and their responsibilities to care for the youngest and most vulnerable among them. As a church, here at Grace Congregational United Church of Christ we too strive to look out for the well-

being of the youngest among us. How are the children, here at Grace? Are they valued as ones who are created in

love by God, and welcomed by Jesus? Are they being educated? Are their needs being met? Are they included as

part of our community? But we know it is not enough just to look after the children within our walls. What about at home? What

about at the schools? What about up in Green Bay or down in Milwaukee? And how are the children? Rev. Blackmon reminds us of this question especially in light of the school shooting in Florida, just a few

days ago at the time of my writing. In the wake of yet another act of horrible violence within the walls of a public

school, we must continue asking, How are the children? As I listened to the news this morning, there were reports of children and youth in Florida, Washington DC,

and other places across the country, taking action. Participating in student walkouts to protest the violence, and

speaking to congressional and other government leaders at both the state and national level, urging them to take

action against this violence. I know that looking for solutions to these problems are complicated. There is no easy

answer. And yet, our children - the ones being personally affected by violence in our schools, or “practice” drills of

how to respond to future violence, or anxiety over what might happen in a place where they are supposed to be safe -

our children who are daily being affected by this, are speaking out. Are we ready to listen?

CONFIRMATION UPDATES

Our LOCK-IN is at church on Friday March 2, 6pm to Saturday March 3, 7:30am. Youth should have supper before

March 21: Worship at St. Peter the Fisherman Catholic Church, preacher Rev. Dan Borchers

Each year your Mission and Outreach Board presents a second-mile, Lenten

offering for you to contribute to. Do you feel blessed? We hope we have discerned

two agencies worthy of your generosity. Do you recognize a need to contribute to

the needs of others? We feel we have two causes that will inspire your generosity.

A mission close to home is the Haven. A mission further away is the Morija

Theological School.

The close at home mission is The Haven. The Haven is a shelter for men located

in Manitowoc. (Hope House serves Women and Families-----and for obvious reasons cannot accommodate single men.)

The Haven provides transitional housing and education to men who have fallen on hard times. The entire twenty-four

hour staff at the Haven is paid. Though benevolent individuals and service clubs made regular donations to The Haven; it

is heavily dependent upon the churches of Manitowoc County for support. Why churches? Church members recognize

that Jesus came among us as a Stranger; that he came among us to serve; and that he inspired his followers to care for the

least of his children. Christians, by our very nature, feel called, inspired and even obligated to rise to causes like The

Haven.

The further away mission is Morija Theological School. The Morija Theological School is located about two blocks

from the residence of Mark Behle, a missionary of our church who has twice visited Two Rivers. The Morija Theological

School trains men and women to become pastors and evangelists for the Lesotho Evangelical Church. The training lasts

two years. Upon graduation, they will serve churches though-out the reaches of Lesotho----places where Internet, phone,

and electricity have not yet reached. Pastors in the more remote areas are paid an extra stipend. The salary of a pastor

serving the Lesotho Evangelical Church is $75 a month. Last year your endowment board purchased 50 copies of

“Unlocking the Bible”, a biblical commentary that was given to each of their students.

HABITAT SUPPORTER

First Lutheran Church, located at 521 N. Eighth St. in Manitowoc, will host the Fourteenth Annual Spring Chili

Warm-up & Bake Sale on Saturday, March 3, 2018 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. All proceeds will benefit Manitowoc

County Habitat for Humanity.

This year, the menu will include chili, dessert and a beverage. Hot dogs will be available as a substitute for chili

dinners. The price for tickets is $6.00 for an adult and $3.00 for children under 12. A one quart jar of chili for takeout

will be available throughout the event and will sell for $7.00.

Habitat, in partnership with First Lutheran Church, is also

soliciting baked goods for this event. We are looking for sheet cakes,

cookies and bars of all kinds to accompany dinner orders. Any other

baked goods - bread, fruit pies, cupcakes, etc. (no cream desserts) --

will be sold in the Fireside Hall. If you can get a group of your

members to provide baked goods it would be deeply appreciated.

Baked goods can be dropped off at First Lutheran on Friday, March 2

between Noon and 3:00 p.m. or Saturday, March 3 after 8:30 a.m.

Again, thank you for all your cooperation and the efforts you

will be putting forth. If you would like to help at the event or have any

questions or suggestions, please call.

FAITH CONNECTIONS ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL

Our new Adult Sunday School class, Faith Connections, will be meeting on the first Sunday of the Month

(March 4). Our conversations will make connections between our faith and the things that are happening in our

everyday lives and the wider world.

We will meet between services, at 9:30am in the Youth Room (off the Fellowship Hall, next to the

Kitchen). We will have coffee, tea, and donuts! If there is something faith-related that you have always had questions about, or an issue from the “real world”

that you wish the church would talk more about, this might be a good topic for future conversations! Please talk to

Pastor Colie.

FROM THE DIACONATE…

The Diaconate is pleased to welcome new members in service: Shelby Bohman, Zak Peterson, Colton Rabida, Mary

Wallace, and Joshua Willis. The purpose of the Diaconate is to assist our pastors in the worship life of our church. In that

capacity the diaconate members prepare and serve communion, and recruit ushers, TAC servers, liturgists, and greeters.

The Diaconate also promotes the spiritual life and fellowship of our members. On February 18th the Diaconate served a

brunch between services to the visiting Pine Haven Men’s Choir. The Diaconate served TAC after the community Lenten

service at Grace Congregational Church on February 21st . Diaconate members volunteered to accompany Pastor Kim in

delivering communion to shut-ins in late February and early March, and assist in monthly worship services at Atrium

Acute Care and Meadowview Assisted Living

.NEWS FROM THE CHURCH CABINET

Our Financial Secretary and Treasurer have informed us that 19 “giving units” have responded so far to the appeal

made by our Stewardship committee to close the projected 2018 budget shortfall. Together, these gifts and new or

increased pledges total $5746. This reduces the projected shortfall by about ¼ to $17,601. We thank these generous

givers. It is not too late to join the effort to balance the budget.

The Cabinet approved the nomination of Katie VerHaagh to fill the vacant 3 year term on the Board of Christian

Education. We are grateful for her willingness to serve, along with those who were elected to positions at the Annual

Meeting. We will dedicate and formally install these new leaders at both worship services on February 25. Doug Charles

will be the new chairperson for the Board of Mission and Outreach, Brian Van Ells will lead the Diaconate, and Jim

Miller will chair the Associate Pastor-Parish committee. Kelly Ruhbusch will continue to chair the Board of Christian

Education and Mickey Veleke the Trustees.

The Cabinet also voted to select 3 to 5 members to review and possibly revise the church constitution, to better align

with current practice in a couple of areas. If you wish to help with this process, contact Moderator Don DeBruyn. Any

suggested changes will be subject to approval by the membership at a future congregational meeting.

GENERATION G

Wednesday evenings from 7-8pm the high school youth group meets in the youth room off the fellowship hall.

During the season of Lent, our high school youth will be studying the epistle of Galatians. Every Wednesday night for six

weeks we will break down a chapter at a time discussing the historical context of how the early church navigated the

promises from Abraham, the laws from Moses and the grace that comes through our faith in Christ Jesus. We will hear the

struggles felt by Paul, the apostles, and the early church as they struggled to balance different roots and the freedom of

faith in Jesus.

We will be selling Seroogy Chocolate's just in time for Easter! Orders will be turned in by March 11th so that we

can have the chocolate here at church by Palm Sunday (March 25).

Easter Sunday from 9am-10:15am we will be hosting our annual Easter Breakfast! Allow our high school youth to

make pancakes, scrambled eggs, breakfast sausages, juice, coffee and milk-- we'll even do the dishes! The cost is $8 for

adults and $5 for children 10 and under.

*Money raised by our high school youth group goes into the Generation G account. This money supports retreats,

sends mail to college and military personnel, and our youth donate a portion to Relay for life.

Generation G will be taking April 4th off for Spring break but we will be back to our regularly scheduled youth

group April 11th from 7-8.
