November 2015 Edition www.grandrapidsfumc.org

November is a month of celebration at First Church and what a month it will be!

I was walking down Fulton Street the

other day and the cornerstone near the front door caught my attention. The cornerstone reads 1915 First M.E. Church (which stands for Methodist Episcopal the name of our denomi-nation until 1939 when we became the Methodist Church, healing the separa-tion created by the Civil War. The name changed again in 1968 when we became the United Methodist Church.)

The cornerstone-laying ceremonies took place on April 26, 1915. The first services were held in the new building in January 1916, with dedication ceremo-nies of the new modified 14th century Gothic style building occurring the week of April 9, 1916. The people were con-tinuing to build the pipe organ as well as installing the Tiffany window in the center of the chancel area. Everything was complete for a final dedication on Christmas Eve, 1916.

1915-16 was an incredibly creative time in the life of this congregation. Our an-cestors invested $212,300 in the church building and our insurance evaluation one hundred years later is nearly 25 mil-lion dollars. We have been given a legacy. The prayer-ful creativity that is needed in 2015-16 that will take us boldly into our 3rd cen-tury of ministry is crucial in the life and ministry of this congregation. We are in our 180th year of min-istry in the heart of Grand Rapids. November kicks off a season of celebration on the theme Creating

Tomorrows Legacy Today, which is our Stewardship theme!

November 1 All Saints Day hon-oring those who have passed from this life to the next during the past year. We will continue our focus on Discovering and Utilizing Your Spiritual Gift with the morn-ing message Ask Seek and Knock!

November 8 The morning services will blend a stewardship emphasis with the message Developing a Servants Attitude. THEN at 4:00 pm, an outstanding concert by The Sons of Serendip. Dont procras-tinate getting your tickets because they are going fast. You dont want to miss this opportunity of celebrat-ing our Methodist Connection with

extraordinary music by an extraordinary group of young musicians.

November 15 Bishop Deborah Kiesey, resident Bishop of the Michigan Area of the United Meth-odist Church, will be our pulpit guest as we rededi-cate our building (after the tower project) and cele-brate our 100th anniversary of worship in this sanctu-ary. New members will be received, Bishop Kiesey

will be with us for an Adult Forum during the 9:15 hour, and a celebra-tion meal will be enjoyed after the second service.

November 22 Consecration Sunday when we dedicate ourselves and our financial partnership in ministry for 2016. The morning message is titled Called Gifted and Em-powered. In addition we will have our traditional Thanksgiving In-gathering of food for Westminster Food Pantry and A Different Kind of Christmas Fair in Wesley Hall.

November 29 Advent begins!

What an incredible month that is in store for the good people of First Unit-ed Methodist Church. Come and join us in the festivities be inspired and invest yourself as together, we create tomorrows legacy TODAY!

May God bless you in your journey!

2Intentional Faith DevelopmentA Different Kind of ChristmasIn the United States it is hard to sepa-rate our spiritual journey from how we spend our money. Our false idol of choice seems to be consumerism. I struggle mightily when I hear Jesus say to the rich young ruler, Theres one more thing. Sell everything you own and distribute the money to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me. Luke 18:22 Surely you arent speaking to me, right, Jesus?

On October 8, 2015 the National Re-tail Federation announced it expects sales in November and December to increase 3.7% to $630.5 billion. Ap-proximately 75% of these sales will be for holiday gifts and goodies, totalling about $700 for the average American. As I move into the holiday season, I continue to look for balance. Do I need to spend $700 (or more) to enjoy this Christmas? How can some of my treasure be used to help others? How can I celebrate a Different Kind of Christmas?

First Church will offer many oppor-tunities during Advent to celebrate a Different Kind of Christmas: Explore giving alternative gifts

through A Different Kind of Christmas Fair on Sunday, No-vember 22 in Wesley Hall

Give food or monetary support to Westminster Food Bank on

Ingathering Sunday, also on No-vember 22.

Provide gifts for parents to give to their children through the MLK Gift of Giving Program or pro-vide gifts to be used at the school via the Giving Tree in the north lobby

Attend one of the Advent Church School Classes beginning on No-vember 29.

Attend worship services every Sunday during Advent.

Use the Advent Devotional to spend time in prayer and contem-plation each day.

Give the gift of time to others by Christmas caroling with the Meth-odist Connection on December 5 and to our church homebound members on December 13.

Welcome homeless families to a safe and warm home during our December 20 26 Family Promise rotation.

Provide Christmas socks and fel-lowship with our Heartside neigh-bors for our annual Caseys Christ-mas Eve Breakfast.

Give generously to our Christmas Eve Mission Offering.

Watch for additional information in our Weekly Pulse newsletter, church bulletin, and church website, or contact me at laurem@grandrapidsfumc.org.

Join me in celebrating a Different Kind of Christmas this year!

Faith Development and Mission

3Practicing Imperfection In the ChurchI recently ran across an interesting new book titled How To Be An Im-perfectionist by Stephen Guise. Its a book about our attitudes, expectations, and how to approach problems. Its full of positive and practical suggestions for how to approach setting goals and mak-ing progress toward those goals. I found several ideas that could apply to how we are approaching the im-plementation of our Vision for the church.

Perfectionism is a problemThe problems with being a perfec-tionist are numerous. In psychologi-cal terms, perfectionists view life as an endless report card, often leading to a negative orientation of avoiding failure at all costs. In the worst-case scenario, perfectionists view love as being conditional on performance, rather than freely accepting the un-conditional love of God that is always present.

Floor and CeilingThere is a wonderful analogy in the book having to do with floors and ceilings. According to Guise, the floor should be our absolute minimal acceptable standard, and the ceiling should represent the perfect outcome, situation, or condition. The problem comes when we make the floor into the ceiling; that is, expecting every-thing we do to be perfect, and reach the ceiling. In addition to making the sanctuary a very cramped space, mak-ing the floor the ceiling paralyzes our initial efforts and prevents us from fo-cusing on progress.

Progress, not perfectionBy contrast, when we make the floor and ceiling far apart, it has the effect of focusing our attention somewhere

in the middle: on progress, not perfec-tion. (Perhaps this is why church ceil-ings tend to be really high.) If we can

start to see the smallest of steps as progress, then, I believe we can make great strides to-ward our vision for the church.

Showing upOne of the goals in the vision statement has to do with worship at-tendance. Recent na-tionwide studies among mainline Protestants are pointing to a disturbing trend in worship atten-dance. It seems that the

average member of a church attends worship 1.2 Sundays a month. We could go a long way toward achiev-ing our vision if we worked at op-posing this trend. We need to set as our floor, showing up for worship. Showing up is being there. Show-ing up is being present. Showing up at church is a victory for the faithful community.

Take small stepsLets take evangelism as another ex-ample. What if we made as a floor, just mentioning our church every day to another person who is not a mem-ber? Tell someone about an upcom-ing concert at our church; about our work with the homeless and the work program; about housing homeless families; about the work with refu-gees. You get the idea. If you did this every day in a year, you have told someone about our church 365 times in a year. You didnt have to be an

expert at evangelism, and you didnt have to have a perfect speech. You simply mentioned our church, and something positive about what it is doing.

Dont care about results. Care about putting in the work.

Dont care about problems. Care about making progress despite them. Or if you must fix some-thing, focus on the solution.

Dont care what other people think. Care about who you want to be and what you want to do.

Care less about doing it right. Care more about doing it at all.

Dont care about failure. Care about success.

Dont care about timing. Care about the task.

If we celebrate the small steps that we can make today, we will be celebrating huge progress down the road.

Eric StrandExecutive Director of

Worship, Music, and the Arts

Passionate Worship

Tell someone about an up-coming concert at our church; about our work with the homeless and the work pro-gram; about housing homeless families; about the work with refugees.

4Caseys TraditionCaseys Christmas Eve Breakfast is a First Church tradition. Named for restaurant owner Casey Wybenga who originally hosted the breakfast in a Heartside diner, the annual breakfast now takes place in Wesley Hall. First church volunteers spend Christmas Eve cooking, serving, and spending time with our Heartside neighbors. The morning is filled with good food, fellowship, music, and Caseys Socks.

The junior high youth of First Church make a very important contribution to the success of Caseys Breakfast. On a Sunday in November, our 7th and 8th grade youth go shopping, sort through the purchases, and stuff up to 200 socks that our Heartside neighbors re-ceive after our Christmas Eve break-fast. It is a huge endeavor that would not be possible without the continued support of our church family. We ask for monetary donations and donations of toiletries to be brought ahead of time to help supplement and minimize our shopping trip (although it does make for an extremely long receipt, as

seen in the photo). We ask for volun-teers who are willing to fix lunch for us. Our mentors and other youth lead-ers participate by herding the groups through the shopping extravaganza. Then the support continues as we en-courage the youth and their families to come back Christmas Eve morn-ing and volunteer at the breakfast. As the holidays quickly approach, please

consider how you can help our youth make a difference in our local commu-nity.

Emily UebbingJr. High Youth Director

We are about to embark on our an-nual First Church Stewardship cam-paign. You will soon be hearing about our exciting campaign which culminates on Sunday, November 22 when we present our annual Es-timates of Giving for 2016. We have chosen the theme Creating To-morrows Legacy Today. In selecting this theme, the Finance Committee discussed the awesome visioning work that was recently communicated and how, in our min-istries and actions today, we are cre-ating the First Church of tomorrow.

We have many ministries to be proud of here at First Church. But often we forget that they were each started because someone had a vi-sion to start them supported by gen-

Extravagant Generosity

Risk-Taking Mission and Service

As the holidays quickly approach, please consider how you can help our youth make a difference in our local community.

5Extravagant Generosityerous gifts of money and time by the congregation.

A few examples regularly, groups approach the Grand Rapids Public Schools about forming partnerships with local neighborhood schools. Without hesitation, GRPS sends these people to visit our tutoring center at Martin Luther King, Jr., Leadership Academy as the example of how well such a partnership can work. This ministry was the result of a vision at First Church over 20 years ago for a tutoring ministry at an under-per-forming school, that has grown into a comprehensive support ministry for the poverty-strapped families in the MLK neighborhood. It all began with a vision and grew with the support of our dollars and time.

Years ago, a few people had a vision to provide a few hours of work for the local Heartside residents in ex-change for a $10 stipend. Over the years, we became known downtown as the Ten Dollar Church. Today this ministry, known as the Work Program, still continues financed by our generous giving.

Many years ago, church members had a vision to create an annual art show that is now known as Celebration of the Arts, and has brought many people to our church and has helped create our legacy as a church known

for generous support of the arts.

What legacies are we creating today? How is your giving today helping to foster how our church will be known to the next generation? What is your vision? How will your 2016 giving im-pact our future? As we enjoy the rich traditions of First Church let us con-sider how our financial support today creates our legacy will inspire future generations to do even more in min-istry for Jesus Christ.

Chris Hawkins, Finance Committee

In selecting this theme, the Finance Committee discussed the awesome visioning work that was recently communicated and how, in our ministries and actions today, we are creating the First Church of tomorrow.

Jesus said Follow me and I will make you fish-ers of men (Matthew 4:19). How often have we heard those words? How many of us have become fishers of men? Maybe most of us have fished or in-vited someone to church once or twice, maybe to a special event. But it is not as easy as it sounds.

We all have our church friends, co-workers, neighbors, and family. But I know my network of friends and associates are mostly churched. We talk about our churches; we can invite them to special events at First Church, but I wouldnt invite them to worship be-cause they have their own church. I may very well talk about the excite-ment I feel at First on Sunday morn-ings.

It feels awk-ward to invite the person ringing up

our groceries or the person we sit next to waiting for an appoint-ment. Even if we are talking with them its hard to direct conversation around to church. It just isnt going to happen.

In another set-ting, Jesus said Go and tell John what you

have seen and heard Matthew 11:4. Now that is a little easier! You can tell your friends that the Sons of Ser-endip are coming to First and they should think about attending. Or tell about our Trunk-or-Treating and say how much fun its going to be. Arrive at church, signed on to Face-

book and check-in and saying that you are at waiting for worship to start; then at the end of the service follow up with the one thing that was the most meaningful to you. Who knows how far that will reach! I checked in at a high school football game Friday night and got 23 likes and 5 com-ments.

Recommending is effective when we tell others what we have personally experienced in the life of the church, how our lives have been impacted and changed by Gods grace and what a blessing it is to be part of a caring community of faith. Think about when you have been to a new restau-rant and had a good experience. You didnt invite friends to go with you, but you did talk about the great ex-perience you had. When that friend is going out to dinner the next time, they may very well decide to try the restau-rant you spoke highly of. Church is no different give it a try.

Creating Tomorrow's Legacy...Today!

6Meet Your CongregationalCare Assistants!I am so very excited to introduce our seven Congregational Care Assistants (CCA) to you! Each one has a passion for caring for people as well as unique gifts and experiences which will make our congregational care even stronger.

Bob Jones and his wife Carol have three children and five grandchildren. Bob is a retired pastor and was our associate pastor from 1978 to 1983 before serving other congregations in Michigan. Bob is currently one of our Stephen Ministers. He enjoys family ge-nealogy and visiting Presidential Muse-ums (all the presidents since Hoover). Bob shares that he is joining the Con-gregational Care Team because he en-joys visiting people. He is especially pas-sionate about visiting visitors and those with mental health challenges.

Nel Kastner has three sons and three grand-children, and was blessed with a wonderful hus-band for 49 years. She is a retired RN who worked for Spectrum Health in the Emergency/Trauma Department for 25 years. A member of First Church for over 50 years, she has been a Stephen Minister and has already been visiting members at Porter Hills for 15 years! In addition to engaging with people, Nel enjoys hik-ing, flower arranging, and being with family. Nel visits our Porter Hills and Covenant Village members.

Dick Mieskowski and his wife Laure have three adult children and three grandkids. Dick works in Human Resources at Spectrum Health. He has attended First Church for 23 years, com-ing here when Laure came on staff. He has been very involved in the life of the congregation through Family Promise, Youth Group, Worship Support, and Stephen Ministry. Dick loves being a

grandpa! He also enjoys camping, MSU sports, working out, and time with family and friends. Dick says, My social work and Human Resource experience have taught me that we need to take care of ourselves in order to care for others. I believe we need a community of faith to support us, to provide growth and nur-turing, so we can go out into the world to do what we are called to do. I would consider it both an honor and a bless-ing if our congregation would allow me to represent them via this ministry when members and friends of FUMC need our care and support.

Barbara Moser is mar-ried to Richard and they have a daughter, Aman-da, who is attending MSU. Barb is the Mar-keting Design Manager at HarperCollins Christian Publishing and is responsible for the design and production of all catalogs, direct mail pieces, email and web marketing. She has been attending First Church since she was 15 years old. She met Richard in our handbell choir in 1986 and the rest is history! She enjoys golfing, bicycling, and traveling. Barb says, I have been a Respite Care volunteer for Helen De-Vos Childrens Hospital for over 6 years, spending time with kids who are battling cancer. I thought with that experience I could help with congregational care. I am excited to get our team going and look forward to being a part of such an important ministry. Barb will be help-ing with hospital and homebound visits.

Marlene Terpstra has been married to Dan for 44 years. They have three adult children and three grandchildren. She is a re-tired RN who worked for Spectrum Health for 42 years. Marlene attended FUMC throughout her child-hood until she and Dan moved to Cedar Springs. She returned to First Church about 12 years ago with her daughter, Jen. She enjoys reading, walking, and spending time with her grandchildren. Marlene says, I became a part of the Congregational Care Team to continue

to help others as I have done my whole career. I want to be able to give support to those in our congregation as the need arises. Marlene will primarily be making hospital visits.

Peggy Thompson is married to Dave and they have two daughters, Sarah and Stephanie. Peggy is a physician and the Associate Dean at the MSU College of Human Medicine. She has been attending First Church for 19 years and in her free time enjoys golf-ing, reading, and walking. Peggy says she volunteered to be a CCA as she enjoys building relationships with people and families at church. I think the church is there to be the support structure for its members. Peggy will be making home-bound and hospital visits.

Lois Walker is married to Steve. They have a son, Sean, and two daughters, Jenna and Darcy. Lois has been attending First Church for 26 years and is one of our Stephen Leaders and Ste-phen Ministers. She is a physical thera-pist for Spectrum Health. Lois enjoys camping, music, and theatre. She says,I am joining the team because I am called to one-on-one ministry and helping people through difficult times. Lois will primarily be making rehab and Clark Re-tirement Community visits.

I encourage you to hold our new Con-gregational Care Team in your prayers as they train and begin this ministry.

Peace and joy!
