in Concert

Friday, March 23, 7:30 PM

Dr. Timothy Howard has prepared an interesting and varied program for our NUMC pipe organ. Not only will he play music by Buxtehude and Bach (very Baroque period), but also by some of the melodi-ous Romantic Period composers (Mendelssohn and How-ells). There will be a light-hearted and cheerful Roulade by Seth Bingham, spectacularly played on the pedals only! The tour de force will be the exciting Final of the 6th Symphony by Vierne.

A multi-talented musician, Timothy teaches at CSUN and is the Organist / Director of Music at Pasadena Presbyterian Church, where he administers a Friends of Music series for the church. He also worked as a composer / arranger /collaborator / performer on Christopher Parkening’s Simple Gift on Angel Records and as arranger for pop / rock singer Brian Reeves on Never Looking Back on Briro Records. He holds a Doctorate of Musical Arts from USC and degrees from Westminster Choir College and Biola University. Dr. Howard has agreed to dedicate this program to NUMC member Wally Kryder, who passed away recently. Wally was dedicated to the music programs and especially to the organ at NUMC. He loved the choir and the handbells, but the Schantz pipe organ was special to him every Sunday. Thank you, Timothy, for allowing us to make this dedica-tion.

The Preacher’s Part I have always had a love for the poetry of E. E.

Cummings. Perhaps it is his disregard for conventional

English. Perhaps it was his spirituality, being the son of a

Presbyterian pastor. His poetry has a strong affirmation of

life, as in “I thank You God”:

i thank You God for most this amazing

day: for the leaping greenly spirits of trees

and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything

which is natural which is infinite which is yes

As a speech major in college, I often turned to

Cummings for my recitations. He lays the words on the

page so that there is a visual delight as well as a cognitive

response to his message.

O sweet spontaneous

earth how often have

the

doting

fingers of

prurient philosophers pinched

and

poked

thee

,has the naughty thumb

of science prodded

thy

beauty

But it is just as likely that it was his sheer exuberance

for life, his love of childhood fun and precociousness,

which caught my attention and bonded me with him for

eternity.

For example, my favorite poem by Cummings is “in

Just-spring”. The poem depicts children running around

gleefully on a spring day, splashing in puddles, inventing

roles, playing children’s games, and always returning to

the balloonman, who calls them to look up and see a world

that is present and expanding, “far and wee”. Just imagine

the wet muddy footprints on the pavement as they dance

around on a spring day:

in Just-

spring

when the world is mud-

luscious the little

lame balloonman

whistles far and wee

and eddieandbill come

running from marbles and

piracies and it's

spring

when the world is puddle-wonderful

the queer

old balloonman whistles

far and wee

and bettyandisbel come dancing

from hop-scotch and jump-rope and

it's

spring

and

the

goat-footed

balloonMan whistles

far

and

wee

Cummings loved spring; the resurgence of life, the

energy of a warming day, the radiant green of a new leaf

on a tender twig, and the joy of love simply given and

held.

Jesus is eternal spring, he who holds hope for us in

each new day, and smiles with child-like wonder at our

failures, and loves us in spite of ourselves.

May spring bring a spiritual rebirth to you this year.

May Christ’s resurrection be a rising of your soul as well.

Joyous Spring to you!

Love,

Thank You

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ!

Greetings of Peace and Solidarity,

On behalf of my congregation (Kaingin UMC) in Jaen

Nueva Ecija, Philippines, we would like to express our

deepest thanksgiving for your unending support to our

church. Members were very glad to have bibles that

you have brought to us. They will really help us a lot.

Because we have our bible studies in the different or-

ganizations every weekday, it is very useful for the con-

tinuous learning for the life and ministry of the Lord.

We also appreciate so much for the choir robes that you

have given us; timely, we use them every Sunday during

our service of the Church.

We hope and pray that the Lord continues to bless

your congregation and your family as well. May the

spirit of love through Jesus Christ be with us all the

time.

Thank you very much, and we are looking forward to

your warm support. God bless!!!

With love,

Rev. Ronalyn S. Valerio Administrative Pastor, Kaingin UMC

LA Phil Live: Gustavo Dudamel and Herbie Hancock Celebrate Gershwin

(in glorious IMAX and Surround-Sound!)

March 18, 7 PM, Edwards IMAX Theatre, Santa Clarita

Dinner at Buca di Beppo Restaurant optional

As part of the LA Phil’s ongoing outreach program, this

IMAX presentation will be broadcast nationwide for one

night only. Pre-recorded from the LA Phil’s 2011-12 sea-

son Opening Night Concert at Walt Disney Concert Hall,

this includes some of the composer’s best-loved works

including the Cuban Overture, An American in Paris and

Rhapsody in Blue, as well as intimate improvisations by

Hancock of Embraceable You and Someone to Watch Over

Me. The event also features exclusive footage of Hancock

– the LA Phil’s Creative Chair for Jazz – in his home,

playing Gershwin and providing insights into his improvi-

sational process.

For those who signed up at Homecoming for “social

events”, this is the first offering of this year, with more to

come!

All are welcome. There will be a sign-up sheet in the

office with directions, or contact Peggy Walters @ 818-

632-5915 or Joann DeSantis @ 818-993-8668.

Tickets are available online through Edwards Cinema or

can be purchased at the door.

From Jazz Vespers…

Jazz Vespers fans are saddened about the passing of

Frank Marocco, one of our most popular Jazz Vesper mu-

sicians. He was always a supporter of what we have been

doing and was a man of faith. Perhaps you had the oppor-

tunity to enjoy his great accordion jazz and classical con-

certs or recordings. He played with Bob Hope, Beach

Boys, Les Brown, Pavarotti and more, and laid down hun-

dreds of movie and TV soundtracks. He was listed as one

of the top three accordion players in the world and one of

the world's most recorded players. But even more than

his music, he was respected as a wonderful friend by

many. We will miss his winning smile.

SUMMER CAMP

Santa Barbara District Junior and Senior High Camp will be held at Camp Arroyo Grande this summer

from July 22 to July 28. (For youth entering 6th grade through 2012 grads).

Cost is $350/student for the week. The church has financial “Camperships” available on request.

Registration is open, and applications are available in the church office and on the web. Pick up an ap-

plication and flier NOW.

The Youth Group has enjoyed increased attend-ance since switching to 4 to 6 PM. We hope every-one will start to plan on some fun times in the YAC as we move into Daylight Savings Time and longer warmer afternoons.

We are already planning some fun summer events which we want to get on everyone’s calendar.

We look forward to welcoming the incoming Middle Schoolers in June with a Pool Party — date and time to be announced — held right after school is out.

We are planning to make Tuesdays Youth Day at NUMC — alternating one week of fun and one week of service throughout the summer — so block off Tuesdays right now and all summer long.

We will not be going to Costa Rica this summer; look for that trip in 2013. But we have a Mini-Mission planned for July 8th to 10th at a fun surprise location.

Those who are in town will want to plan on help-ing out at Vacation Bible School July 23 to 27.

Several of our youth are planning on attending one

or two of the Cal-Pac Youth Camps. Check the

church website for a complete listing of camps for

Middle and Senior High Campers.

The Bike-A-Thon begins at NVCS’s campus,

15453 Rayen Street in North Hills, with registra-

tion / check-in at 8 AM, with their Community Fair

following, from 11 AM to 2 PM. Riders make a

tour of the San Fernando Valley, where they meet

mileage goals, raising money to support the agency

and its services for the community.

A fun event for both experienced and inexperi-

enced riders, NVCS has enjoyed watching the num-

ber of participating riders and supporters increase

each year. Rider information / registration / dona-

tion packets are available in the NUMC church of-

fice. During coffee hour on Sundays, sign up to

support a rider from NUMC.

Join us for the opening ceremonies, to cheer on

port NVCS! And NEW THIS YEAR, the Family

Fair – a Bouncy and a Trike-a-Thon.

Volunteers, please talk to Amybeth Lake for sup-

port at NUMC stop and to Mike Easterly for sup-

port at NVCS.

WISH FOR CHANGE?

People in parks or tourist spots often come across

wishing wells. One can toss in some change, make a

wish, and it might come true – may-

be. It has been estimated that over

$325,000 per year is tossed into

wishing wells and fountains nation-

ally. The mind reels!

Do you wish that the world was a

better place? Have we got a deal for

you! It is a sure thing too! You can

figure out the rest. The jars are in

the Narthex. Your change will help

CHANGE THE WORLD.

Come and See Which Way Home

Church and Society will be screening

Which Way Home on March 26th, at

7 PM in the Kendall Building.

In 2006, Rebecca Cammisa received a

Fulbright Scholar Grant to document the

plight of the children left behind when

their families travel to the United States to find work. This

Oscar-nominated-film is the result of her journey. Cammisa

and her crew follow a trio of children who set out on their own

from their Latin America abodes on a dangerous trek through

Mexico en route to the U.S. border and — they hope — to their

families' embrace.

Running time is 83 minutes. The film is not rated.
