United Methodist Church of the Dunes November 2014
Dunes Digest Dunes Digest Dunes Digest Dunes Digest The recent controversy about the raising of a cross on the summit of Dewey Hill has prompted much public discussion and recent questions of me, “Pastor, what are your opinions on the subject?”
The cross on Dewey Hill, like the Coast Guard Memorial in Escanaba Park, is part of the DNA of this community. Grand Haven history books inform that one of the first settlers was a Presbyterian minister, Rev. William Ferry, and that the first public building erected was a church/school. From the beginning, honoring Christ has been an integral part of the plan. Rev. Ferry is memorialized in local names such as Ferrysburg, and Ferry Street in Grand Haven. Churches have been erected on important locations and play a significant role in area life. As a newcomer, I have been impressed with the tri-cities. God has kissed the shoreline with exceptional natural, spiritual, economic, and human resources. The extraordinary level of civic cooperation, pride, innovation, and optimism are contagious. This area is blessed with an active clergy association representing a broad theological spectrum but united in concern for community and in prayer for each other. The tri-cities have benefited from an extended history of great civic leadership. If you don’t believe this area is special, I invite you to become a United Methodist Pastor and let the Bishop give you a life of itineracy in order to experience other locales first hand so you can compare with greater wisdom.
The success this area has experienced is no accident. We are beneficiaries of seeds planted in fertile soil which have come to fruition with the assistance of strong religious communities. I once heard a missionary to Africa relate the changes that occurred in the locale where he had been raised after his grandfather introduced Jesus to the populace. “In just two generations in the village where I was raised, cannibalism was banned, slavery discontinued, illiteracy eradicated, a school was opened, cultic prostitution ended, child-sacrifice eliminated, women were given greater equality, a school was begun, a hospital was started, life expectancy increased, peace was established between previously warring tribes, wells were dug to make clean water more readily available, witch doctors were replaced by educated physicians.”
By contrast, author James Michener, in his novel, Mexico, describes the character of Aztec culture which made the worship of an idolatrous war-bird central to life. That idol fueled a nation where continuous conquest and blood sacrifice resulted in a community dominated by fear, grief, and suspicion.
What we choose to venerate is important. Show me a person who has given the high place of their life to worshipping (pick one) a) cannabis, b) alcohol, c) maximizing personal pleasure, d) greed, e) sexual expression, f) self-indulgence, h) amassing power, i) atheism etc. and you will be able to discern consequences of that worship that lead to far different personal and corporate outcomes than those that follow from loving God, hoping in eternity, practicing forgiveness and exercising grace with a servant’s heart. Similarly, I know from first-hand experience in living in other places like Beirut, Lebanon and Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and travel in Europe, Asia, South America, and Africa, that when the summit of the collective hill is given over to different religious expressions like Buddhism, Islam, Voodoo or Animism that these religions also influence the shape of the culture where they have taken root. I respect other religious expressions but know without a doubt that what we choose to honor has discernable consequence and I personally prefer the consequences of Christianity.
I know too, after climbing Mount Sinai, that the Ten Commandments which were given on that summit, and embraced by the ancient Israelites, enabled that group of migrants to survive and thrive in an otherwise inhospitable wilderness (Exodus 20:1-
17). Voluntarily choosing to bind ourselves to these divinely inspired laws makes community possible for us all.
More important than stated goals, or mission statements, visual symbols remind us who we are, and where we have come from, and provide inspiration that influences future decisions.
The cross of Christ, which for Christians has long been a symbol of hope, grace, and testament to the depth of God’s great love for the world, has also been for non-believers a source of offense. The apostle Paul noted this in the first chapter of his letter to the cosmopolitan port city of Corinth, “but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles.”

From the Pastor’s Pen
(continued from front page)
Our ancestors who argued for the separation of church and state in the founding articles of our nation did so to keep government from meddling in the affairs of the church. This doctrine came from Scottish opposition to the efforts of the English crown to assume the power of clergy appointments. The Scots argued persuasively that the greatest check against tyranny in government is a free and independent pulpit. Our founders sought to create a place where we are free to worship as we choose but never intended for government to be freed from the influence of faithful people. My earliest known ancestor, George Maris came to America with William Penn to find religious freedom after serving a sentence in an English prison for worshiping God in his house which was against the law at the time.
Followers of Christ have influenced in America, the abolition of slavery, suffrage for women, a welcome for immigrants, the establishment of public education, more democratic forms of government, advances in health care, concern for the environment, feeding programs for the hungry, and a culture of generous philanthropy. Following disasters like Hurricane Katrina and 9/11 Godly people have taken the lead in the ministries of relief and restoration. Christians do not always agree on every issue. I have passionate friends of faith on both sides of the ongoing debates about gender equality, reproductive rights, and the definition of marriage. We can debate these issues passionately and still love each other. I respect the rights of others to object to the presence of the cross but I will not apologize for its presence.
The decision about what symbols to allow on the summit of Dewey Hill will be decided by others. I am not thrilled by the prospect of the hill becoming cluttered as an open forum for everybody with a cause. But I pray that on the mountain top of my personal devotion I never forget, nor diminish my gratitude for what God does for all of us through the cross.
I admire the efforts of our city government to craft a solution that allows the cross to remain on the hill for Sunday night worship. Should courts order a different
arrangement I would invite the city to sell the summit of the hill to the tri-cities clergy
association with the understanding that the current use of the hill for religious and civic observance be maintained. I believe that if the issue were put to a vote the vast
majority of our residents and visitors would choose to leave the current arrangement in place.
Love, Glenn

Abundance
By Laura Burns, Director of Children’s Ministries
We’ve added a new story in Children In Worship: Feeding of the 5,000. It’s the only miracle, besides the resurrection, that appears in all four Gospels. Jesus and his disciples were trying to slip away for some rest when a large crowd followed them. Jesus, tired as he was, looked upon the crowd with compassion and began healing the sick. This lasted late into the evening. The disciples suggested letting the people return to the village to get something to eat because it was getting late. Jesus said, “they need not go away, you give them something to eat.” Understandably, the disciples fretted. They didn’t have enough food to feed a hungry crowd.
How often do we refrain from giving because we don’t think we have enough? Jesus simply asked, “what do you have?” The 5 loaves and 2 fish were enough to feed the crowd and have 12 baskets of pieces leftover! I think that is the most incredible part of the story—they did not just have enough; they had an abundance.
We are called to share what we have, even though we may doubt what good it would do. Sharing our gifts through Christ multiplies them.
Our children have lived this principle out through their missions—
their small hands and big hearts have made a difference locally and globally.
Check out our children’s bulletin board for our ongoing and current mission updates. This fall our children’s offering is dedicated to Kids Food Basket. We are passionate about this organization which helps feed over 6,000 West Michigan children each weekday.
As part of our hands-on mission, a team of our children helped make partner cards for the Crop Walk, and several also participated in the walk.
As Jesus taught us, we are called to bless others, and what we have to give is more than enough. And as John Wesley challenges us “Do all the good you can. By all the means you can. In all the ways you can. In all the places you can. At all the times you can. To all the people you can. As long as you can.” For no act of love is ever wasted, and through Christ our gifts are turned into an abundance of blessings.

Youth Ministry Update
By Ashley Boersma, Director of Youth Ministry
The youth had a great and busy month in October! We started our month out with helping to host the 40th CROP Hunger Walk. The youth serviced in many different capacities. They helped set up, made table displays, served lunch, painted faces, did the photo frame, welcomed walkers, and cheered them on as they left to walk. Thank you all who helped serve to make this big celebration of the CROP Walk very successful this year.
The youth had their Halloween party on the 19th of October. We painted pumpkins for our homebound members, ate deliciously scary snacks, did wheelbarrow races, played musical chairs by strobe light to spooky music, ate donuts off a string hands free, and stuck our hands in five different globe boxes.
Thank you so much for to everyone who came to Panera to support our youth for our Fundraiser night! It was so much fun to have so many church family members gather for dinner together! We appreciate all of your support.
On October 26th, during youth group the youth delivered their pumpkins to the homebound members of the church. It was so nice to connect and visit with them.

Human roots are things like family, friends, jobs, hobbies, and support groups. Church is a wonderful place to set down roots that matter. In this community opportunities are offered to grow in knowledge, service, and faith. Relationships are cultivated and the Holy Spirit is given opportunity to work in us and through us. Make a decision to honor Christ by investing yourself in growing roots through the church. Come to church on Sunday and invite a friend to join you!

Christmas Cookie Walk and Boutique to be Held on Saturday, December 6, 2014
The United Methodist Women are planning a Christmas Cookie Walk and Boutique to help you with your holiday baking, decorating and gift giving. The event will take place on Saturday, December 6 from 9:30 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. in the Wiltse Center. We suggest you shop early because cookie supplies have been known to disappear early.
Since the main focus of this event is selling cookies we need help baking cookies, and donating cookies. If you are not a baker, you can contribute some money to help buy supplies. Our goal is to have dozens and dozens of festive, holiday cookies for sale. If you have a special Christmas treat that you traditionally bake, or you would like to come to church and help at a cookie baking bee, you can sign up on the UMW bulletin board across from the church library.
Candy and other holiday surprises will also be available. There will be an opportunity to put together treats to give as hostess and teacher’s gifts too. Put this date on your calendar and plan to help support missions either by baking or buying.
As well as wonderful, decorated Christmas cookies, the Boutique will have on hand some nice gift items (knitted items, jewelry, home décor, etc.) for those special people on your list.
If you would like to donate items for the Boutique call Marion Fitch at 616-
296-0844. If you would like to help with the cookies you may contact Tracee Cole.

Fall is in the air and that means one thing for sure and that is we are nearing the annual event of Thanksgiving. For some it merely means a long weekend, frantic shopping, and football. Well, for those here at Church of the Dunes Thanksgiving has much more meaning.

The United Methodist Men will be hosting a Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday, November 23 at 5:30 p.m. which will include turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, rolls and a variety of beverages. If you are able we ask that you bring a dish to pass. There are no tickets to purchase or RSVP; however there will be a free will offering. We provide “To Go” meals if you wish to take dinner home to a loved one. This year there will be Advent crafts for kids to partake in. More details will follow from Laura Burns.
Please accept our invitation and prepare to enjoy a delicious dinner and a great opportunity to share quality time with one another. If you have any questions, please call Dick Tanis at 616-502-1672, or email [email protected].
Journey To Bethlehem
The Church of the Dunes is excited to partner again with the Journey To Bethlehem event. It is an outdoor, interactive presentation of the story depicting Joseph and Mary's mandated journey to participate in the Roman census. The event is scheduled for Thursday, December 11; Friday, December 12; and Saturday, December 13. Tickets go on sale Saturday, November 15 from 9:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m., at St. John's Lutheran Church. This event was very popular last year with tickets being sold out very quickly. Journey To Bethlehem is a great experience for all ages and received high reviews from many last year. Participants will encounter many costumed actors and actresses along their walk as they proceed through many set stages. The walk culminates with a stroll through Bethlehem and a visit to the manger where you'll see the proud parents and newborn baby Jesus. The Church of the Dunes will again be the start and finish of the Journey to Bethlehem. Participants will receive their biblical passports, new names, be placed in groups, and driven to Duncan Woods to start their "journey". At the end they will be returned by bus/van to the Church of the Dunes for refreshments. Many of our members volunteered as actors and guides, helped with refreshments, assisted with parking cars, etc. It was truly a marvelous and spiritual experience. If you would like to volunteer, please contact www.journey2bethlehem.com. You may also follow the link on the United Methodist Church of the Dunes Facebook page. Please take time to make your holiday plans around this wonderful event.
