Grossnickle Church of the Brethren
November 2015
LOVE FEAST AND COMMUNION
Let us begin now to prepare for Love Feast, which will be observed Sunday evening, November 8 at
6:00 pm in the Parish Hall. We can begin by opening our hearts to the Lord, by seeking forgiveness
from God and others, and by inviting others to share in the wonderful
blessings that come from being obedient to Jesus’ commands and accepting
His invitation to the Table.
The evening will start with a time of reflection and repentance. Then we will
follow the example of Jesus by washing one another’s feet. As an option, we
also offer a hand-washing table. And, we share a simple meal of beef and
broth and bread (with a vegetarian option available also). The service
concludes with the celebration of Bread and Cup communion.
Child care will be available for the youngest of our church family, and
interested children of any age are welcome to come and participate in the meal and observe the feetwashing and communion. If you need a ride to Love Feast, please call the Deacons of the Month,
Wayne and Karen Grossnickle, 301-293-2293.
Our church practices open communion, so baptized Christians of any tradition are welcome to join us
and participate fully, regardless of where you hold your church membership.
“… Do this in remembrance of me.” (Luke 22:19)
FOOD AND FELLOWSHIP
The Deacons invite you and your family to a Fellowship Meal/Nite Out at the Barbara Fritchie
restaurant on Rt. 40 in Frederick at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 14. This is a new event and
we hope many of our new members and guests, as well as our “usual” church family members will
attend. The evening will provide a time of fellowship and getting to know one
another better. We are planning to do a couple “get to know each other better”
activities, but for the most part it will be an evening of eating and fellowship.
Children are welcome; a children's table with goodie bags is being planned,
however FREE babysitting will also be available at the Church as well. The
cost for the meal will be $14.95 per adult plus tax and tip, which includes your
choice of 1 of 3 meat options, sides, a salad and a dessert. A vegetarian
option and a children’s menu will be available. A sign-up sheet is located in the
Narthex, or you may contact Cathie Clemson at 301-293-3637 and let her
know you would like to attend. A head count is needed by Sunday, November 1. We are looking
forward to this event and hope that MANY will come.

CELEBRATION CORNER
Celebration Corner is a monthly column highlighting, with joy, events
of the past month. This month we celebrate October events.
John 12:26 says, “Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I
am, there will my servant be also. Whoever serves me, the Father will
honor.” We seek to ground our service in our discipleship. We serve because we follow Jesus who
served so many in so many ways.
October has been a busy month of serving in Jesus’ name. Though it happened in late September
we want to celebrate the dedication, hard work and commitment of the Disaster Response Team
that served in Loveland, Colorado the last week of September. Much was accomplished to beautiful
songs of gratitude in response. Help offered to those who cannot afford it and who have been so
devastated by flood, is help offered generously and in the Spirit of Christ. Diane Moser shares a
personal statement –
“Thank you to all of the people at Grossnickle who support the Brethren Disaster Ministries. It was a very meaningful
experience for me this year and I am so glad I was able to go. Our group was divided up into 3 teams and were
assigned to different houses. The project that I worked on was a log house that was being built by a couple who had
been burned out of their mobile home in 2012 from forest fires and then flooded out a year later from severe flooding
caused by a long period of rain. In addition, they operate an excavation and logging business on their property and
lost all of the logs for four log houses in the fire and lost their house, more logs and some excavating equipment in the
flood. Because they lived in a double-wide house trailer they did not have any insurance so they have had very little
economic assistance. In addition to other adversities, they had a bad experience with some earlier volunteer groups.
So they were reluctant to give BDM a chance to help them. On our first day we got quite a lot done chinking (caulking
the logs) and laying tile. When we came back the next day the wife told us that they had sat in the house the night
before and prayed to God to thank him for answering their earlier prayer that he would send them some good people
to help them finish building their house. They were so very happy. We worked that day and when we came back the
next morning they told us jokingly that they felt like they wanted to lock the doors at the end of the week and not let us
go home. Each morning she would stop by and tell us that her and her husband sat in the house after we left each
night and thanked God with such full hearts for the work that we had been able to do for them. Our group really felt
God's call to help this couple because they had been through so much and their love of God was so very strong. They
have been on my mind since I have returned and I have been asking God how we can continue to help them. I would
like to ask you to pray for them and possibly send them some cards to help them keep their spirits up.” (The mailing
address is posted on the hallway bulletin board.)
“Field of Hope” Growing Project also held its annual Harvest Celebration Festival during the month.
This year is the 10th anniversary of the project. It is also Foods Resource Bank (FRB)’s 15th
anniversary. FRB is celebrating help given to 1,000,000 people across the 15 years and has
established the goal of helping the next million folks in half that time, the next 8 years. The
commitment and dedication of folks in 9 different Churches including our own, makes this project
possible.
October has also been a month of several treasured moments in worship. The first Sunday of the
month we shared in World Communion Sunday, breaking bread and sharing the cup with Christians
all over the world. Moving through the aisles to receive the bread and cup always reminds us of the
relationships we so cherish in the faith, brother and sister, and our relationship to our loving God.
Also in October the Senior High Youth lead us in worship. We are always grateful for the leadership
of youth in worship, for creativity, willingness, and dedication expressed through this annual
experience. And we are grateful our Church offers that opportunity to young folks to experience
leading others in worship, being in front of people, speaking in public. Thanks so much to advisors
Elvin Stottlemyer and Cathie Clemson for guiding and mentoring in this task.

‘HELPING HANDS’
Financial Folks
This segment focuses on the many groups in the life of the Church who contribute a great deal to our
life together. This space is an opportunity to learn more about these groups and a chance to see who
participates in them. This month we feature the ‘helping hands’ of our Financial Folks.
This month we highlight the dedicated work of three wonderfully willing folks who carry out the many
and varied details of our financial life. Charles Delauter (photo not
available) serves as our Treasurer and has for many, many years. Jeff
Hurwitz serves as Financial Secretary picking up those responsibilities
two years ago from Ray Hinkle. And, Trina Delauter serves as the
Financial Administrator.
Jeff handles the income side of the equation for our Church family. He
cares for making deposits, tracking offerings, and carrying those heavy
bags of change to the bank on the first Sunday of the month (when we
give our “My 2¢ for Hunger” offerings). Jeff reports to the Finance
Commission and the Church Board as well as the annual Church
Business Meeting. Usually after the service on Sunday morning Jeff can
be found in the “Old Kitchen” working with the commission to count the
morning offering and see that it is deposited at the bank. We’re deeply
grateful to Jeff for the dedicated hours it takes to do the work of Financial
Secretary and for the faithful reporting that he does. He truly lends helping hands to our life together.
Charles and Trina care for the expense side of our
financial life together. Writing payroll checks, paying
bills, completing extensive monthly reporting to the
Church Board, accounting for the many special funds
that exist and tracking special offerings are only a few
of the things Charles and Trina do on behalf of all of us.
Caring for our financial life is no small commitment and
it requires many hours of dedicated service as bills
come due monthly, individuals await reimbursement,
and employees count on payroll checks. Assisting the
Finance Commission and the Church Board with good
information requires a reliable system of tracking expenses
and regular comparison of those needs with income.
Truly without the helping hands of these financial
officers and staff, we would be at a loss. Please, when you have opportunity, extend your thanks to
these willing servants who so regularly and faithfully assist us all through their steadfast efforts.
KIDS KLUB BEGINS IN NOVEMBER
KIDS KLUB, for children in Grades K through 5, will kick-off soon. The 2015-16 session
begins Wednesday, November 4. Lois Ann Glessner will again direct this program by
presenting exciting Bible lessons designed to help the children learn about God and the
life of Jesus Christ. She supplements the lessons with fun-filled activities to illustrate
the stories. The group meets weekly on Wednesday evenings in the Parish Hall from 6:30
to 8:00 p.m. Snacks are provided by parents according to a pre-arranged schedule.

FINANCIAL UPDATE - 2015
As everyone is aware, the current economy is impacting everyone at many levels and this includes
Grossnickle COB. We are extremely appreciative of everyone continuing to support the church and its
many activities, and we are very fortunate to have such an outstanding congregation!
Through the first eight months of 2015, we are currently behind our budget by approximately $24,000.
This deficit is about 10 percent more than at this time last year. All commissions are working to keep
expenditures as low as possible and we have been successful reducing in many areas. However, the
budgeted giving continues to be behind. The Finance commission is in process of finalizing our 2016
budget and we want to continue to offer the same quality service to all church activities.
We all recognize these are tough economic times and the church appreciates the great support our
members continue to give to all of our regular and special projects. We certainly will appreciate any
extra effort that can be made through the remaining year. Thank you and God bless!
T.J. Houck, Finance Chair
CONGREGATIONAL BUSINESS MEETING
Our Annual Congregational Business Meeting will be held Thursday evening,
November 5, at 7:00 p.m. in the sanctuary. Lester Boleyn will serve as moderator.
The items of business will be to approve the slate of officers and to adopt a
budget for 2016. These items will determine our priorities for ministry in the
coming year. All members of the congregation have a voice in this meeting. We
hope for good attendance and good discussion.
Another task of the Congregational Business Meeting is to call Deacons. Deacons serve as
caregivers of our congregation and as those who prepare for communion and baptism. Please
consider individuals or couples who could serve faithfully and well as deacons.
We will be calling four deacon couples. Those persons whose terms are expiring this year are: Gene
and Marilyn Gaver, Marion and Sharon Leatherman, Jeff and Patty Hurwitz, Randy and Kathy Gaver.
All are eligible to be called again. We thank them for their faithful service!
SENIOR HIGH HUNGER MEAL
Invite your family and friends – all are welcome – to the Senior High Hunger
Meal after church on Food Pantry Sunday, November 22, 2015. The meal in
the Parish Hall will consist of soup and sandwiches.
Attendees are invited to provide cake for dessert, and to donate the money
they would have spent on a regular meal to help families in need in our
communities.
All proceeds will be used to benefit needy families at Christmas. For details, please speak with Elvin

NOTES OF THANKS
THANK YOU to all who brought clothing for the Fall Clothes Drive, Sunday, October 18. All
were delivered to the Hagerstown Rescue Mission for distribution. Your generosity made
this gift possible. Thanks so much!
THANK YOU! I would like to offer you my heartfelt thanks for all that you have done for

God. The summer staff really enjoyed the letters, packages, and spiritual guidance. I appreciate all that you do
for Shepherd’s Spring. Sincerely, Geneva, Camp Coordinator
THANK YOU for your generosity and gift to Heifer International. The end of extreme poverty is within our grasp,
and your help matters. Your commitment to helping others gives hope to families who once struggled with

GLANCING AHEAD TO THE CHRISTMAS SEASON
Seasonal Events and Activities
CHRISTMAS GIVING TREE . . . Our 2015 Christmas Giving Tree will be displayed on the hallway
bulletin board in mid-to-late November. With the help of the Middletown Valley “People Helping
People” we will “adopt” a family in need. Because the family has not yet been assigned to us, we do
not know what their specific needs are at this time. However, by the time the
Giving Tree is displayed, the gift items will be listed on the tree’s tags. (When
you take a tag remember to sign your name on the sheet next to the
corresponding tag number.)
You may also have the option of providing a monetary donation. Please make
your check payable to “Grossnickle COB” and note “for Giving Tree.” A
donations box will be in the hallway, or you may give the card or check directly to Pepper Delauter.
Please watch November bulletin announcements and the December issue of The Dunker for when
cards and donations will be due to Pepper.
“People Helping People” appreciates your continued generous assistance in helping the economically
challenged families of our local area enjoy a merry Christmas! If you have questions or wish more
information, please contact Pepper at 301-293-1307. Thank you!
