Food-Allergy-Friendly Communion Bread For some time, gluten-free bread has been offered in a separate dish in the center of the communion tray. The gluten-free bread is now free of the eight major food allergens (milk, wheat, soy, egg, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish)* as well. Please note, however, that the bread is made in a facility that uses eggs. The bread is also being cut using a clean knife and cutting board that do not come in contact with the regular communion bread. If you require gluten-free or allergen-free bread, please take from the center dish. If you do not need this special bread, please continue to take the regular bread, and kindly refrain from touching the center dish, as your fingers may spread gluten or allergens. Thank you!

Star words: A spiritual practice for Epiphany (https://pres-outlook.org/2016/01/star-words-a-spiritual-practice-for-epiphany/) January 6, 2016 by Kristin Stroble

On the Sunday we celebrate Epiphany at the church I serve, it has become a tradition to pass out “star words.” Perhaps you’ve heard of them. This practice of passing out star words has grown in popularity recently. On the day that we remember the star that led the magi to Jesus, we pass out pieces of paper cut into star shapes with a printed word. I first heard of this practice from a fellow Presbyterian minister Marci Glass on her blog. What I didn’t realize three years ago when we first passed out these stars was the impact they would have on my life and my church.

My first word was RESTRAINT. I wanted to throw it back. What was that supposed to mean? RESTRAINT made me think about being held back or being bound. These words were supposed to be a gift, but this did not feel like one to me. And yet, over time the word continued to work on my heart and mind. I started practicing RESTRAINT at church coffee hours and forgoing doughnuts. I used RESTRAINT to stop myself from getting second helpings at potlucks. RESTRAINT gave me permission to look at how unhealthy I had become and do something about it. When I began to see RESTRAINT as a gift instead of a curse, it freed me to change my eating habits without apology, to leave work earlier to exercise and to focus not just on my spiritual health but my physical health.

In my year of RESTRAINT I lost 90 pounds and, for the first time I could remember, achieved a healthy weight. I’m not one for New Year’s resolutions because – let’s be honest -– they always seem to fail. Instead, these star words have become my practice for the New Year. Instead of making a resolution that I’ll feel guilty about a week later, I take a star word as a gift and keep my eyes open. The stars have allowed me to see God in unexpected ways and places. They’ve been challenging, life-giving and transformative.

One woman in my congregation received JOY last year. Her middle name is JOY. She admits, though, that she had lost her JOY, forgotten how to live with JOY. The star word reminded her throughout the year about the gift of JOY in all circumstances of life; a JOY that comes from the simple affirmation that we belong to God. Another member received COURAGE. She was in the midst of cancer treatments when this word was given to her. She took that paper star with her to every doctor appointment. She kept the word by her side as she entered hospice care and as she passed from this life to the next. (continued next page…)

Star words: A spiritual practice for Epiphany, continued

After worship this Epiphany Sunday, we had coffee hour. I stood in the corner and listened to some of the conversations. Almost every table was talking about the star words – how their word influenced their previous year and what new word they had just received. I stood there and marveled at God’s spirit working through paper stars. Like the magi, these words allow us all to go home by another road, our eyes opened to God’s presence in and around us.

And as for this year, my new word is PATIENCE. God only knows what’s in store for me with this one!

Update: Stewardship 2019 – Faith, Hope, and Love: Causes for Giving Once again, the FPCP family has demonstrated commitment and generosity through financial commitments for 2019. We praise God for the faith and support of this congregation, which continues to grow with new members and new programs. While we have seen growth and new membership, pledge growth has not fully offset reductions due to moves, deaths, and other life changes. The accompanying thermometer chart shows the current status of 2019 pledges along with our goal, which would support our church’s many ministries and activities. If you have submitted your pledge for 2019, THANK YOU. We

appreciate the timely commitment. If you feel called to increase your estimated giving, a revised estimate of giving card is always welcome.

If you are still considering your commitment, we thank you for your prayerful consideration. To help with our program planning, we would be grateful if you could provide an estimate to express your best intentions at your earliest convenience.

If you give regularly, but have not submitted an estimate of giving, we’d be grateful to know your intentions to regularly contribute, no matter the amount. Can you make the first step and simply submit the amount that you already commit on an estimate of giving form?

Estimate of giving forms and the optional credit card authorizations are available in the pews and at the back of the Upper Room, and can be left with Stu Dodge in the church business office. Thank you for demonstrating faith, hope, and love through your giving! Doug Heasley, Orlean Heidel, Jack Farrow, Tina Creguer Stewardship Committee
