Message from Pastor Deanna followed by Shepherd’s Weekly Email
Dear Ones,
As we approach the coming election, I want to share an article written by the Rev. Carolyn J. Davis, who serves as
deputy director at the Center for Public Theology at Wesley Theological Seminary, where she develops new programs and
partnerships about the interplay of faith, ethics, values and public discourse. I found her article helpful as I prepare to cast my
ballot next week; I hope it will be helpful to you, as well. I also want to share that our Chapel will be open for prayer and Holy
Communion on Election Day. We will be one of many churches across the nation offering the sacraments on Election
Day. So, come and pray, be fed at the Lord’s Table, and then go and cast your ballot (if you haven’t already.) Let God be a
part of your Election Day through prayer and the sacraments; and may this intentional time out bring you peace and clarity in
this highly charged election season.
Rev. Deanna Self-Price

Voting as Christian Discipleship: Let compassion, care shape participation
Carolyn J. Davis
November-December 2016
Televised presidential debates are a relatively new phenomenon in American politics. The practice originated with the
1960 presidential debate between Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy. Kennedy appeared looking rested, youthful and tan.
Nixon, in contrast, resisted wearing makeup or being styled for television despite showing the wear of a recent hospital stay.
He looked pale, tired and increasingly sweaty as the night wore on. Tellingly, those who watched the debate on TV
overwhelmingly saw Kennedy to be the clear winner, while those listening on the radio judged the evening for Nixon.
In our modern era, our approach to presidential debates carries the legacy of the Nixon-Kennedy debate to new
extremes. Politics has become subject to the need for "good television." Like any good reality TV, this means conflict over
kindness.
Viewers of the presidential debates are frequently admonished to pay attention less to the content of candidates'
positions on policies. Instead, pundits pick apart candidates' body language, tone and ability to parry and pivot through the
attacks of their opponents. Exhaustive post-debate coverage makes much of determining which candidate appeared more
"presidential" despite rarely giving any real attention to the substance of their presentations. Observing and judging the debates
has become far more of an exercise in vivisection than any real project in strengthening a voter's comprehensive understanding
of the issues at hand.
Watching the Sept. 26 debate between candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, with its dramatic matchup of
political calculus and sheer will to power, it was easy to get lost in the gamesmanship if not utterly dejected by the current state
of American electoral politics.
As one candidate attempted to get in yet another almost profanely low blow against the other, a thought struck me:
"How would the tone and form of this debate change if each candidate approached their task from a position of concern for the
other?" If Clinton or Trump started first with an intentional moment of genuine, truly altruistic preoccupation with the wellbeing of the other, it could very well change how they addressed one another. Perhaps that low blow might be reconsidered, a
contentious policy point better understood. Could it also change how they considered their task as presidential candidates,
public servants and citizens?
To ask one another "how is it with your soul" has long been a central practice in the lives of faithful Christians. The
question echoes habits formed in a variety of Christian orders and spiritual traditions. When engaged in the context of a
community of faith, the question can carry with it a dual meaning. Friends ought to be concerned with the well-being of others.
At the same time, the very practice of cultivating concern for the other carries with it an investment in the overall well-being
of the community. When we share our burden together, we are better able to attend to the needs of the communities we inhabit.
The cultivation of such a habit of concern for the other bears spiritual fruit. We become, over time, more inherently
compassionate. Spiritual discipline eventually gives way to spiritual formation.
While we await, with hope that is perhaps eschatological, for our candidates to discover a renewed sense of compassion
for their opponents, we can nonetheless consider what a similar principle could mean for our own participation as citizens in
the electorate.
What if Christians were to count voting as an expression of the spiritual discipline of compassion?
Voting is, in itself, a practiced discipline. Studies show that voting habits are formed over time — we must register,
maintain our voting records, become attuned to the rhythms of electoral cycles, vote on appointed days. In our current
American system, the burden to register and vote is placed on the individual. There is no direct, tangible penalty for refusing to
vote. And voter disenfranchisement continues to be a tempting strategy for political forces looking to manipulate the system in
their favor.
Within this frame, it is especially easy for the unengaged voter to simply sit out an election if the candidate or the issue
does not feel especially compelling.
However, when we discard our votes into the dustbins of cynicism, apathy or sheer frustration with the system at large,
we miss an opportunity to participate in acts of care and compassion as a spiritual discipline. Assessing the needs of our
communities — considering how is it with our neighbor — can and should be paired with participation in the structures that
might help bring greater justice and mercy to bear in the world. In an electoral democracy, this means voting (and running for
office).
Suffragettes and civil rights activists alike did not march for simple self-empowerment. Immigrants seeking citizenship
do not work (to achieve that status) just so they can go out and manifest their ideological opinion in the ballot box. These
groups and all who seek a more robust democracy know that voting is critical to improving the lives of their communities.
Christians who take their practices of care and compassion seriously should be committed to doing the same. (It has often been
people of faith driving these social movements toward enfranchisement.)
Voting forms us into citizens mobilized to action. Voting strengthens our bonds to our civic and social structures. Let
us pray that our Christian discipline of compassion might shape as well the ways in which we attend to the care of our
neighbor with our vote.

CITRUS GLEANING-YEAR 2 - Again this year SHUMC is sponsoring citrus gleaning that benefits the St. Mary’s Food
Bank. Gleaning will occur on Wednesday mornings at 9am-11:30am beginning on January 11, 2017. We will glean citrus
through Wednesday, March 29, 2017. In addition to all the citrus picked, the owners of the trees picked will donate $20/tree to
St. Mary’s Food Bank. Last year we picked 28,172 pounds of citrus from 94 trees; and volunteers put in 371 hours of time.
During the first three weeks of November we are encouraging members of SHUMC who want to have citrus picked
and donated to St. Mary’s Food Bank to sign up. Members who wish to volunteer to do the gleaning can also sign up over this
period of time. We ask the volunteers to be in good health and able to reach over their heads to pick the citrus. A sign up table
will be in the courtyard after worship the first three Sundays of November. You can also call or e-mail John or Judy Riddle at
623-547-5041 or [email protected] before November 23rd. We will open the invitation to residents of Sun City West and
Sun City Grand after this time.
We will also be selling citrus pickers that Mike Hicklin has made for us. The price will be $15 for a 5-foot picker and
$20 for a 10-foot picker. The proceeds will go to the mission program at SHUMC. A signup sheet will be available on the
three Sundays of November.
The congregation’s support of this Mission Committee project is appreciated.
FIVE WISHES Program – You are invited to attend a presentation on Wednesday Nov 16 2:00-3:15 PM in the Fellowship
Hall Meeting Room. Pastor Jim Bonsell and Parish Nurse, Esther Vallet, will walk through the five categories of wishes
concerning how a person desires to be cared for if seriously ill, and who will carry out these wishes. The FIVE WISHES booklet
will be available for each person. Sign up at the church office or call 623.584.2280.
In November the Fellowship Hall display case will feature my collection of elephants and has no connection to a political
party. Beginning in the 1970’s, we made many frequent trips from Oklahoma City to the Denver area, Santa Fe and Phoenix to
visit family - which, of course, included a little shopping. At the Santa Fe Indian Market in the downtown plaza, a handcrafted elephant in caught my eye and on the spot, I decided I would start collecting elephants. Thanks to family and friends, I
now have about 70 of them and am pleased to share them with you. Barbara Harrison
Mini Series of Tai Chi - Nov 22, 29, Dec 6, 13 - Here’s an opportunity to learn some basics of the ancient beneficial art of Tai
Chi in four classes offered at $20. Slow gentle movements are suitable for all ages. Beginners 11 AM-12 PM, intermediate
12:15-1:15 PM. Sign up at the Church Office.
A Christmas Story at the Arizona Broadway Theatre Matinee
Tickets for the noon matinee production of A Christmas Story at the Arizona Broadway Theatre on Thursday, Dec 15, 2016
are on sale in the church office. The ticket cost is $65.00 per ticket and includes a bread basket, lunch, soup or salad, coffee or
tea, gratuity and the classic holiday musical-comedy. If you want dessert or something else to drink, you are responsible for the
extra cost and gratuity. I have twenty-six tickets and the seats are in the area just before the steps. If steps are a problem for
you, these reservations will solve your problem.
This holiday story follows the escapades of nine-year-old Ralphie Parker who wants one thing for Christmas, an Official
Red Ryder Range Model Carbine Action BB Gun. There’s only one problem. Everyone else is convinced he’ll shoot out his
eye. Filled with quirky and lovable characters, this heartfelt and nostalgic Christmas musical is a delight for young and old.
If you need a suggestion for a Christmas gift, buy a ticket now and enjoy the fun. Thirty-eight SHUMC friends dined and
laughed at the “Church Basement Ladies” comedy in October, and you are invited to join the fun at this Christmas Classic, A
Christmas Story.
We are to arrive at the theatre, 7701 Paradise Lane, Peoria, by noon on Thursday, Dec 15, and the production will end at
approximately 4:30. I hope to see you there. Mary Jane Banfield
An American Christmas Presented by West Valley Chorale
Come share the joy of the Christmas season with director Ken Goodenberger and the West Valley Chorale as they present “An
American Christmas,” with music composed by some of America's greatest composers, including William Billings (a personal
friend of Paul Revere), Randall Thompson, Charles Ives, Robert Shaw, Andre Thomas, Eric Whitacre and Morten Lauridsen.
The program spotlights a wide variety of music including a carol sung by early Native Americans as well as Irving Berlin’s
delightful score from the movie White Christmas. For a little comic relief, the chorale will sing three pieces by P.D.Q. Bach,
hilarious spoofs of famous carols--one renamed “O, Little Town of Hackensack.” In the spirit of the season the program also
includes several serious, contemporary selections that focus on the need for peace in our troubled world. This concert is an
eclectic collection of the holiday music of America that will surely provide a joyous start to the season and carry a wish for
peace on earth.
The Chorale will present one concert on Tuesday, Dec 6, at Faith Presbyterian Church, 16000 N. Del Webb Blvd., Sun City
and another on Thursday, Dec 8, at Shepherd of the Hills United Methodist Church, 13658 W. Meeker Blvd., Sun City
West. The concerts will begin at 7:00 PM. Tickets can be purchased from chorale members for $10 or are available at the door
for $15. For more information call 623-214-0761 or go to www.westvalleychoraleaz.org.
Thanks to all of you who attended and helped out with the October Family Life Dinner. There were 4 Friendship Groups in

Goodenberger. Don't miss this special night. See you there?

WHAT IS SIDEWALK SUNDAY SCHOOL?
The Sidewalk Ministry focuses on teaching urban children and their families the basic fundamentals of Christianity, teaching
empowerment through Christ to turn away from the negative community influences that face them, and to turn their hearts,
minds and actions toward a lifestyle that contains promise and hope for the future. Their mission is to help the unchurched
children, youth, gang members, homeless people, family members and anyone else, hear that there is Someone who loves
them, who wants a personal relationship with them, and Someone who considers them God’s most precious child. This street
ministry is for those who have heard and those who need to hear again, the Name and Love of Jesus Christ. Children and
families are visited each week by their personal visitation team. Please remember these needy people during this holiday
season as we celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas together.
SIDEWALK SUNDAY SCHOOL BRINGS CHRISTMAS HAPPINESS
The Missions Committee invites you to fill a bag with gifts for the children of Sidewalk Sunday School. The gift bags will be
distributed at Sidewalk sites throughout the valley this December. In many cases, these will be the only Christmas gifts the
children receive.
To make this enjoyable job a little easier, the Mission Committee will supply the bags, and all you have to do is have fun
shopping for gifts a child would love.
Christmas bags will be passed out at church services November 5-6. You may pick up as many bags as you want, along
with an attached gift tag and a sheet of instructions and suggestions. Ages you will shop for are 3-4, 5-7, or 8-10 and either for
a boy or girl. The deadline for returning the filled bags is Nov 21. Thanks for making a child happy this Christmas! Mary
Jane Banfield, Mission Chair

STEPHEN MINISTRY
But I call to God, and the Lord saves me. Psalm 55:16
Recently, we asked you to consider becoming a Stephen Ministers. We told you a Stephen Minister is a child of God
who walks beside a hurting person, a caring Christian friend who really listens, and a lay person who has received 50 hours of
training in how to provide distinctively Christian care.
This may sound a little scary to many. Now let me tell you what a Stephen Minister is NOT. We are not a counselor or
therapist, a problem-solver, a casual visitor. We have often been referred to as the eyes and ears of the church. We work
closely with Esther, our parish nurse, and our Ministers on order to add another layer of comfort and care to those in need.
You now have the opportunity to serve your church community as a Stephen Minister. Our training of new Stephen
Ministers will begin mid-January, 2017. If you want to learn more about becoming a Stephen Minister stop someone wearing
our blue name badge. You can also call Joe Rega, 623.561.5790.

50th Anniversary 2017 - If you will celebrate your 50th wedding anniversary in 2017, and/or have not been recognized
previously for this milestone at SHUMC, you are invited to participate in the Golden Anniversary Celebration on February 12,
2017. Winter visitors, when you return for the 2016-2017 season, bring along a wedding picture to be displayed between
services when the Family Life Committee will be taking your picture and will serve cake in honor of your special day. If you
plan to take part in this event, please call Joyce Webster at 546-6419 and leave a message.
