October 2013 The Best Definition of Christianity From Fr. Christopher G iving is therapy for the soul. It keeps the heart open to others and sensitive to their needs. Giving is also the secret of a mentally and emotionally healthy life. Dr. Adler, a famous psychiatrist, said, “I suppose all the ills of the human personality can be traced back to one thing, namely, not understanding the meaning of the statement (of Jesus): ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’” A famous theologian said once, “People are sick not only because they have not received love, but also because they are not able to give love.” Dr. Karl Menninger said to a person who had suffered a breakdown, “Go find the neediest person and help him.” For our mental and physical health we need to give. “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” A child becomes an adult when he stops taking and starts giving. In fact, one of the best signs of maturity is the ability to give.

During a stewardship campaign a parishioner complained that Christianity is one continual give, give, give. The pastor replied, “Thank you for the finest definition of Christianity I have ever heard.” Christianity is one continual give…. That’s the way it all began. God gave (John 3:16). He gave His only Son. His Son gave. He gave His life on the Cross that we may have life. His disciples gave. They left their homes and businesses to devote themselves full time to Christ as spreaders of His Good News. Most of the twelve apostles died a martyr’s death. They gave their lives for Christ. Through the ages the work of Christ has prospered to the extent that Christians have been willing to give, give, give. from “Daily Vitamins for Spiritual Growth” – Fr.

We had a wonderful show of students both returning and new on September 15th. If you have not registered your child(ren) yet for Sunday school, please remember to fill out the form and send it to the church office, or slide it under the office door if it’s locked. Forms can be found on the Sunday school bulletin board downstairs or you can get it from the September “The Word” newsletter online at our church site. This year we plan to have a monthly spotlight on a bible story and character from the Old Testament. We pray that parents will also read these stories out of the bible each month with their children to share our faith and biblical history. We have planned a fun-filled year of outings and church meetings for the JOY children ages 7–9 and The Middlers, children ages 10–12 (5th and 6th graders) this year. Our first JOY and Middlers meeting successfully took place on Sunday, September 29th following Sunday school. Our next church meeting will be held on Sunday, November 10th. All meetings at the church will be held immediately after Sunday school from 12:00 – 1:15 pm in the large lower-level room of the church. Our first fellowship outing for the year will be held at Crescent Farms in Haverhill, MA on Saturday, October 12th at 3:00 pm. Please join us for our annual hayride to the pumpkin patch to pick our own pumpkins. After the perfect pumpkin has been picked we will navigate through the giant corn maze and end our day with delicious Richardson’s ice cream. Parents and siblings are welcome to attend this outing. Sunday School Calendar Ahead: December 1 – No School (Thanksgiving weekend) October Bible Spotlight: King David October’s Old Testament focus is on King David. One of the most famous stories of the Old Testament is of David and Goliath. This story shows how David loved and put all his faith in God to overcome a giant. Psalm 147:11 says “The Lord delights in those who fear Him, who put their hope in His unfailing love.” Some questions for you to find answers to are: 1) How many stones did David have and how many did he use to defeat Goliath? 2) Was David a man or a young boy when he defeated Goliath? 3) What work did David do for his family and how did that prepare him to face a giant? 4) Why was David able to defeat Goliath and who did he give the glory for his victory to? Draw a picture and we will hang it on the Sunday school bulletin board! The cost for this event is: · $10.00 per child – this includes the hayride, a pumpkin, the corn maze, and ice cream · $5.00 per adult – adult price only includes the giant corn maze and hayride to the pumpkin patch If your child would like to attend, please RSVP to [email protected] by Friday, October 4th. I look forward to seeing everyone at Crescent Farms! In Christ, Patty Trant Jesus Loves You!
