“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers
and sisters of mine, you did for me.’” Matthew 25:40
In this issue we see how we are serving the
Lord by teaching children and going on
serve trips. We then meet the “Let’s
Remember” scrapbooking group, look at the
album “Rise,” and finally see how to be less
busy. There’s a lot to cover as we continue
to serve.

In the 3yrs – Pre-Kindergarten class we have
been having tons of fun listening to stories,
playing with play dough, coloring and
playing games. We are a large and very
active group. We average 10-12 children
each week. Matt Walker and Lisa Vos are
the teachers with Martha Uitermarkt and
Judy Van Zee helping each week.
Some of our stories have included
Creation… how God made the world, Adam
-1-
and Eve disobeying God in the Garden and
how we sometimes disobey too. We talked
about how Abraham and Sarah obeyed God
and how that is important. God took care of
Moses – from his time as a baby to the
exodus and to providing for the Israelites
with manna in the dessert. The manna in our
story came when our heads were down
“sleeping” and popcorn appeared before us
when we “woke up”. The kids were thrilled
with that! One of the other stories we
enjoyed was when we talked about David
and Goliath. We had a special visitor come
(Brian Van Kooten) who was our Goliath
and told our story.
After sitting through church or C4C, we like
to move about and play games. If you ever
hear a lot of thumping on the floor it
probably means we are playing our version
of “Red Light, Green Light” (that has a
yellow in the middle sometimes too). The
kids would play this every week if possible.
Ask one of the kids and they will happily
tell you how we play. “Head and Shoulders,
Knees and Toes” is another kid favorite.
We love our time together each week. Thank
you for loving us and watching us grow!

We also have time to either play a game or
do a craft after each class that pertains to the
lesson for the day.
There is so much energy in the room you
can feel it. Energy to talk, play and learn
about our God!

This year has been a fun year so far for our
K-1 class. We have been learning about
God's plan for us and even though we may
not be the smartest or strongest, He finds
ways to use us to fulfill His ultimate plan.
Students: Claire Braafhart, Dane Geetings,
Carson Tukker, Caleb Van Arendonk,
Alexis Vos, Kennedy Hartson, Emily
Vander Molen, Haley Van Houweling,
Kaden Van Wyngarden
We started off the year learning about His
plan for us by listening to the stories of
Noah, Elijah, and Jonah to name a few. Each
person was not perfect but God used them to
carry out His perfect plan!
Nick Braafhart and I have the privilege of
teaching 2nd and 3rd grades again this year.
We are continuing on in the Wonder series
of lesson plans. At the beginning of the year
we had lessons on the final part of Christ’s
ministry on earth and the ministry of the
apostles. We have learned some big Bible
words like Ascension and Pentecost. Then
we switched back to the beginning of the
Bible, learning about Creation and moving
on through Adam and Eve and Noah and the
ark.
We are now studying David. We just heard
the stories about how David was a shepherd
and took care of his sheep and how Jesus is
our shepherd and takes care of us. Last
week, we heard the story about David and
Goliath. It’s a familiar story by now, so we
had fun listening to it by having the students
act out parts when they heard the words
“David, Goliath, Philistines, and Israelites.”

Many of our lessons include components
consisting of lots of physical action and
letting the kids use their imagination. The
March-April
Pella II Newsletter
young kids enjoy getting a chance to use
their energy toward acting out Bible stories.
I really think it also helps to reinforce the
lesson and concepts in their young minds.
We get a chance to act out the stories, often
with the kids getting to wonder about how
people would have reacted in these
situations and what their facial expression
might have looked like.
This allows the kids to enter the story. They
wonder what they would have done if they
had seen Jesus ascending into heaven or
washing their feet. They get to imagine what
it would have been like in the Garden of
Eden when God banished Adam and Eve. It
is a joy for us to have the chance to witness
the kids seeing the stories come to life.
March 2, 2014
Currently we are finishing up lessons
centered on David. We have always thought
of David as a “man after God’s own heart” –
which he was. He was respectful of Saul as
King, a good friend to Jonathan, and caring
of Jonathan’s lame son, Mephibosheth. He
led the people well as King of Israel. But we
also saw the other side of David. He was
prideful, lustful, even planned out the
perfect murder. He needed God’s
forgiveness just like we do. We learned that
when we sin, we need to confess our sin to
God, and he will forgive us.
Finally, our last lessons will revolve around
Solomon. We look forward to what we can
learn from Solomon’s life and how this
impacts how we live.
We asked the kids what they enjoy about our
time together and here’s what they said –
Playing “hangman”, candy, and talking.
They are very good at discussing the
lessons. The favorite lesson theme is David.

Our lessons have centered around 3 different
themes. First - we studied Paul and his
missionary journeys. We learned that being
a missionary can be very difficult, but we
are all called to be missionaries no matter
where God places us in our lives.

Ten Commandments and our relationship to
God. Recently, we’ve been working on
memorizing Psalm 23. We conclude with
prayer and dismiss at 11:35.

This group meets in the Council Room. We
begin wandering in before 10:50, which
gives us a chance to discuss general tropics
such as family, school and sports. One of the
rewards of teaching is becoming acquainted
with these youth as unique individuals.
Sometimes the lesson provides an opening
activity for us to have fun together or burn
off some excess energy.
We have a prayer to get us focused on
studying a Bible story, followed by
questions and discussion. We are using the
DIVE material from Faith Alive Christian
Resources. It includes a magazine to follow
every lesson with appropriate questions and
answers from the Heidelberg Catechism. In
addition, each young person receives a
devotion book with three devotionals related
to each lesson and connected by a story
symbol.

This year in the high school class, our goal
was to evangelize to others. We visited our
elderly church members and one Sunday we
even made cookies for all the residents of
the manor (with help from Thressa
Nieuwsma and Cathryn Van Ee). We
delivered them to the residents and wished
them a Merry Christmas and a Happy New
Year. We have gotten to know each other
and our other church members better.
Together, we have grown in our faith.
Educational Ministries Report
The four unit titles this season are “Who Is
the Holy Spirit?”, “Who is the Church?”,
“What is being a Christian all about?” and
“What’s with all the Rules?”. The topics
include the Holy Trinity, the church

The church school season at Pella II has
been a great one! We are blessed in our

church to serve 65 children and young
people. This year our 3-year olds-8th graders
are participating in the DWELL curriculum.
This curriculum focuses on thinking deeper
about the Bible stories and wondering about
different aspects of each story told. Students
are encouraged to dwell in God’s Word. The
3-year old-5th grade lessons focus on various
stories in the Old and New Testaments. The
6th-8th lessons use the Heidelberg
Catechism and the Belgic
Confession as their focus of study.
Teachers and students alike really
seem to enjoy using this
curriculum and we think it is a
good fit for the younger members
of our congregation. Our high
school class has been busy
visiting members of our
congregation. A big thank you to all of
the teachers and helpers for your efforts and
your time!
In addition to our church school classes, the
children are involved in singing each week
and learning new songs. Sharesa has brought
in some fresh music to teach the kids as well
as incorporate those beloved, familiar
Sunday School songs. The children also
worked hard this year preparing for the
Christmas program. Thank you to the
Christmas Program Committee, Jeanetta
Nieuwsma, Melissa Tukker, Wendy Hartson
and Susan Vander Molen for all of their
work!
C4C (Children for Christ) is another group
in which our youngest children can
participate. The three-year-olds through PreKindergarten children leave the morning
service about twice a month for a short Bible
lesson, craft and songs. Many volunteers
from the congregation make this time
possible for these children. We have always
asked for parents with children in C4C to
take a turn either leading or helping with a

Sunday, but it is truly a blessing to have
quite a few older students, grandmas and
others from the congregation volunteer to
help out. We have been using lessons from a
resource book that accompanies the
Beginner’s Bible to guide our C4C lessons.
The offering we are collecting this year is
for two families that live in Pella. We
connected with both of these families
through Crossroads in Pella. The
first family is a single mom with
a six-year-old girl. The second
family is a mom with two kids,
one girl and one boy. We have
been able to give them all they
needed for winter, from coats and
boots to a teapot. We have also
given them food, bathroom items,
clothes and toys for Christmas.
So far this year, the church school children
and generous people in the church have
given over $550.00. THANK YOU! The
families have asked for prayers and
expressed how very thankful they are for the
people at our church. We hope that the
children understand how much they are
really helping these families, in Jesus’ name.
We as an Education Committee have been
grateful for all of the support the
congregation gives to this important
ministry for our children. We are continually
looking for ways to better our educational
programs and we welcome any questions or
concerns. One giant challenge our
committee faces is how to adequately
address the education of our adults through
small groups or a Sunday-School type
group. Please pray for wisdom in this area.
Above all, we pray for God to be glorified as
we share and learn from His Word with each
other.

Cary Trip 2014
By Will Van Wyngarden
12 men from several different churches
loaded up three vehicles at Pella II at 4 a.m.
on January 19. We stopped briefly in
Oskaloosa to pick up three more men and
then we were on our way. It was a cold
morning, and it took a while for it to get
much warmer as we headed south. I think
we had all hoped we were in for a nice,
warm week, but I guess God had other
plans!
The first three houses we did were all
basically within one or two blocks of each
other in Anguilla. That allowed us to spread
out and work apart from each other so we
weren’t in each other’s way. We got two
roofs done the first day as well as having a
third mostly torn off. The weather was
decent that first day, and we all enjoyed it.
We were also treated to a series of flyovers
from a nearby crop duster. And a select
handful of us enjoyed shakes at Chuck’s.
Tuesday, however, was not nearly so nice. I
don’t know if the temperature ever reached
much above 40, and the wind was strong
and gusty. In addition to making it
uncomfortable, it caused bits and pieces of
shingles and tarpaper to blow all over. There
were times where you could barely open
your eyes for fear of debris flying in.
Needless to say, we didn’t feel like stopping
at Chuck’s on our way home! We worked on
two different roofs that day, and some
members of the crew went to hang drywall.
We were also blessed to have two local
young men there to help lend a hand. They
hung in through the tough weather and
hopefully they learned a thing or two about
shingling.
Wednesday was definitely nicer than
Tuesday. It was a bit warmer, but there was
-6-
March 2, 2014
no wind, which made it quite pleasant. The
homeowner treated us to fried chicken for
lunch that day. Unfortunately, we had
already eaten the lunch we had brought with
us! But being the polite men we are, we
went ahead and ate again. It is safe to say we
didn’t move very fast the rest of the day, and
strangely no one was too hungry for supper
when we got back!
We completed that house and then went
back to Cary, where we spent the rest of the
day (and part of the night) working on the
roof of the dorm. Several of us left for home
on Thursday, while the rest of the crew
stayed behind to unload a truck at the thrift
store and to finish the section of roof we had
started the day before. I wasn’t there to
witness it, but apparently the men finished
that section of the roof in a sleet-storm. You
just never know what to expect when you go
down to Mississippi.
“Let’s Remember” Enjoys 10
Years of Scrapbooking
Together
by Kim Hoekstra
Adhesive, cardstock, embellishments,
Cricuts – these are words that may sound
foreign to many of you. But they are
commonly heard in the church basement two
Thursday nights a month when the Let’s
Remember Scrapbooking group is together.
March-April
Pella II Newsletter
Ten years ago, Julie Vander Molen had a
desire to share her passion for recording her
memories in scrapbooks and started a small
group. Since then, somewhere between 6 to
10 women meet a couple of times a month
to scrap. We also have a few Saturday all
day “crops” per year.
Since we each work on our own projects,
some people might wonder, “Why bother to
meet at church together? Why not just stay
home and work on your photos?” There are
a lot of answers to that. First, as a group of
women who share a common interest, we
have a bond and enjoy just being together.
We scrap a little, laugh a lot, and sometimes
shed tears together. Second, each evening
includes a time of shared prayer requests,
devotions, and snack (of course). Third,
sometimes we actually get some scrapbook
pages or cards completed. Fourth, having a
specific time to work on our projects is very
valuable due to the busy schedules we all
maintain. And fifth, we are able to get new
ideas and share supplies/tools with each
other.
Here’s a translation of the “scrapbook-ese”
language that we use:
• Adhesive = sticky stuff such as glue or
tape.
• Cardstock = thick paper. Available in
lots of colors!
• Embellishments = stickers or flowers or
ribbon or anything to make the page
special. In other words, bling.
• Cricuts = not bugs (we do not like bugs
or bats in the basement). This is a
machine that will cut out letters and
shapes in various sizes.
• Crop = when a group of people get
together to scrapbook.
Sound interesting to you? Our season is
nearing an end, but watch the bulletin for
-7-
March 2, 2014
meeting times and dates for Saturday crops
and join us sometime. Sound crazy to you?
No problem. God has given each person
different talents, whether that be quilting, or
cooking, or organizing, or leading, or
roofing, or music, or….you get the idea.
Whatever talent you have, just remember to
use it. God didn’t bless you with that talent
so you could waste it!
Skillet – “Rise”
“3, 2, 1 for all and all for 1”
“Times will be bad, times will be good
Things I wish I hadn’t done and some I wish

Cutting through the American noise
You’ve got a voice and a song to sing (and a

See what the day will bring”
“La da da da

La da da da
Lift up your voice
Let love cut through the American noise”
The band Skillet was formed in 1996 in
Memphis, TN. While it has had a number of
members over the last 18 or so years, John
Cooper (vocals & bass)—one of the bands
March-April
Pella II Newsletter
founders—and his wife Korey (guitar,
keyboards & backing vocals) are the
cornerstone of today’s version of Skillet.
For the last few years they have been joined
by Jen Ledger (drums & vocals) and Seth
Morrison (lead guitar) to complete the band.
The lyrics above are taken from the song
“American Noise” off of their most recent
album “Rise”, which was released last
summer. “Rise” takes an interesting path as
it is thematic. A consistent thread runs
through the album that focuses on the
struggles and feelings of alienation a young
person might feel in today’s society.
Around those struggles the album repeatedly
speaks of strength, faith, perseverance and
salvation. The frail
nature of the human
condition (man’s fall) is
expressed in clear and at
times weighty
statements. While the
struggles of life may
seem overwhelming
Skillet repeatedly draws
the listener back to the
path towards peace that
can only be found in
God’s grace. Never
give up, never surrender
and never turn away.
With God there is
always HOPE. While their message is not
presented in a “from the pulpit” sermon
format it is repeatedly presented loud and
clear. Our lives begin and end with God.
In the November-December 2013
newsletter, I described Skillet as utilizing
“big drums, powerful guitars and forceful
vocals;” as the band contains “both male and
female vocals” their music “provides a nice
mix and some very complimentary
arrangements.” If you were to look at
reviews of their music you would see terms
-8-
March 2, 2014
like “Christian Rock”, “Christian Metal” and
“Hard Rock” used to describe them. I think
the term I like best is “Symphonic Metal”. I
think that term could also describe a band
like Trans Siberian Orchestra. Both bands
present a very large, hard driving and
powerful sound but not at the expense of
retaining a very melodic and structured
presentation to their audiences. As I dove
more deeply into “Rise” I was really
intrigued by their use of keyboards, strings
and ethereal vocals. As with most long
tenured bands Skillet has shown a lot of
musical progression over their careers.
“Rise” also presents some very beautiful and
artistic ballad-like numbers. “American
Noise”, as quoted above, would fall in that
category. When you
review the whole of
“Rise” it is very clear
that this edition of
Skillet has the
complete musical
package.
The more I listen to
“Rise” the more there
is to like. I’ve always
tried to listen to an
entire album at least
three times before
defining a final
opinion. If you cannot
make it through an album three times that
sends a pretty clear message as well. No
problem here—I’ve been through “Rise”
seven or eight times and am still finding
some neat nuances that I’d missed before.
Skillet is not going to be for everyone. No
music genre is. I do know that it appeals to
this 49-year-old father and to a number of
his children. Just as our musical tastes
change over time (at least a little) it will be
interesting to see where the Coopers (now
parents and 40ish) take Skillet next. They
March-April
Pella II Newsletter
have repeatedly proven they are willing to
smack their listener’s right between the
eyes, or better stated, right between the ears
with their music and their message. They
are doing a great job of reaching an audience
that perhaps more traditional evangelical
methods are missing.
Like their music or not, their message
cannot be disputed. As a result it has value
in the work of God’s Kingdom, and that
reminder is good for us all.
Jesus Can Help Us Avoid OverBusyness
By Pastor Dan
Festo Kivengere, an outstanding African
Christian leader, told of his conversion
experience:
“My life was like a spinning top. You know
the problem of a spinning top – it has a very
big head and a very thin base. It can’t stand
up unless it’s spinning. And a top just spins
around itself – that’s all. My
life was exactly like that. I was
just running faster and faster,
thinking that the faster I ran the
better life would become. How
wrong!”
Then a friend who was a new
Christian told Festo the story of
salvation and how he could
truly live when he took the time
and made the effort to “dwell in
Christ.” As Festo describes
what happened when God
showed him these things, “God
smashed my heart open and
introduced me to the living reality of Jesus
-9-
March 2, 2014
Christ, who entered in. My top stopped
spinning, and He gave me direction that lasts
through eternity.”
We can learn something from Festo’s
experience. One of my favorite old Country
and Western hits includes the following
lyrics: “I’m in a hurry to get things done. I
rush and rush until life’s no fun.” I think
these words capture the frustration that
many in our world feel – including many
Christians who know (or at least they ought
to know) that the alternative to numbing
busyness is being “filled with the Spirit.”
Making the switch from numbing busyness
to invigorating engagement with God in
Christ is a lifelong task. Our congregation as
a whole seems to be longing to tackle it
more effectively. That’s a good thing, and I
am thankful for it.
We need to begin by making room in our
busy lives for what really matters. We need
to recognize the reality that our chronic
busyness is holding us back. The spiritual
consequences of being too busy can be
disastrous. They include burn-out, despair,
and the need to escape into activities that
bring some relief in the short
run, but devastating personal
disintegration in the long run.
When we try to cram more into
our days than our limited time
and energy allows, we are not
only crowding out the things
that will feed our spirits, we are
also showing signs that our
spirits are seriously out of
alignment with the way of
Christ. People who don’t have
time to “abide in Christ” show
that they believe too much in
themselves and not enough in
God. On the other hand, people who trust in
God do not need to run around like Chicken

Pella II Newsletter
Little with their heads cut off, worrying
about how to hold up the sky.
As our tops begin to wobble and topple, we
need to resist the temptation to find a way to
wind them up again. We need to remember
that God has the whole world in His hands,
and that “underneath are the everlasting
arms.”
A spinning tire gets no traction until it stops
spinning. If nothing is added to the mix after
the tire stops, the tire will only spin as
before when the power is reapplied. If we
want any real traction in our spiritual lives,
March 2, 2014
we not only need to stop the busyness, we
also need to apply the living presence of
Christ to our daily living. Our spiritual lives
will get no traction until we “abide in
Christ.”
We need to follow Jesus’ example. I have
never read that Jesus was in a hurry. He was
on track and at peace because he was in
constant fellowship with his Heavenly
Father. Through him, as we take the time
every day to “abide in him,” we can grow
deeper in our own fellowship with God, and
bear the real and lasting fruit in our lives
which results.
