WHAT IS THIS FAITH JOURNEY ALL ABOUT?
DOES IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
IT DOES!
There always seems to be questions and answers when thinking about God, faith and the very meaning
of life. I write today to people who have embarked on the faith journey. We have been doing it together as a
group we call the congregation. Some of us gather every Sunday at worship. Some of us are there less often.
Some almost never make it into the building but all of us, together, we are the church. We are those who God
has spoken to in one way or another.
We have been privileged to stand in the presence of the Sacred and the Holy. We have had the
opportunity to have the Creator look at our broken lives and tell us that He loves us no matter what. Faith is
about a process that restores the soul, renews the spirit and gives the breath of life to us every day no matter
what is going on. The Lord is not one who has come to bring fear into our lives but to throw it out. He
forgives us rather than judges us, He sets us free to be authentic people through the actions of His son Jesus.
The psalmist describes how this feels in the Message version of Psalm 19:
20-24
God made my life complete
when I placed all the pieces before Him.
When I got my act together,
He gave me a fresh start.
Now I’m alert to God’s ways;
I don’t take God for granted.
Every day I review the ways He works;
I try not to miss a trick.
I feel put back together,
and I’m watching my step.
God rewrote the text of my life
when I opened the book of my heart to His eyes.
People on the journey of faith are on a different path. We are restored to the beings that God wants
us to be. We are certainly flawed but having God in our lives does make a difference. We experience the
journey with God by our side. If we are looking for something to do, we can take the first verse seriously and
“place all the pieces before Him.” This reminds me of the TV show, “Rick’s Restorations”. He takes all the
broken pieces of worn out objects, cleans them us, refinishes them and makes them better than new. So it is
with God who restores you and me and makes us His own. The difference this journey makes is that “I feel put
back together”.
Thanks for sharing the journey with me.
Along the Way,
Pastor Niel
PASTOR’S BIBLE STUDY ~ Beginning on Monday, September 15th.
Pastor’s Bible Study will meet in the Conference Room by the Church Office every 1 st and 3rd
Monday of the month. Sign up on the bulletin board if you are interested in attending. Everyone is
welcome.
Pantry Ponderings –
It is nearing the fall season. The days are getting shorter, kids are headed back to school and people are asking
about the Day of Giving. I don’t know about you, but where did the summer go? I know it has been warm and sunny
because I can tell by the amount of times I’ve needed to water my garden, which has truly been abundant this summer as
compared to years past. I think it is because we finally took the time to tend to it early and prepare for the growing
season. My husband put a lovely fence around to keep the deer out and tilled it several times to prepare the soil. We now
have enjoyed many green beans, snap peas, tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers.
I am reminded of the song “Prepare the Way of the Lord” by Jeremy Riddle. It says: “Make straight paths for His
feet, Clear a way in the streets, Prepare your hearts to meet the One who is coming. Every valley shall be raised, the rough
places become plains, His salvation comes today, to those who would receive Him, yeah. Prepare ye the way of the Lord”
I think of that now as I prepare for my first time with the Day of Giving. It takes much time to get everything just right
for the Day. Volunteers are needed to help fill and distribute the bags. Donations of food, coats and more are needed. I
am sure there is more to do to prepare for the day and I will learn that as I go along.
I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to all the food pantry volunteers. It has been wonderful
working with all of you. Your dedication is inspiring. A special thank you to Lou Wentzler for his unwavering spirit. He
is always ready to lend a hand even when we had a delivery of 100 bags of 10lbs of potatoes. He was quick with a joke
and always smiling. He made sure that each client or visitor went out the door with a bag or two or more. You are an
inspiration to me and others and I thank God for you everyday.
I pray that God will continue to guide us as we prepare the way for our Day of Giving. I pray for His strength to
not only to lift the bags but to lift the spirits of those we help. I thank God for the people he has placed in my life.
I am Living in Faith,
Barbara

NURSERY SCHOOL NEWS
We are looking forward to another year of fun at Nursery School. Welcome to all our new students, and welcome
back to our friends from last year. This year’s staff is as follows:
4 Year Olds . . . . Miss Dawn & Miss Margo
3 Year Olds . . . . Miss Lori & Miss Julie
Miss Jean will be working in the office alongside Miss Andrea this year to keep you informed on all our activities
and snack list schedules for the year. Be sure to post them on your refrigerator so you know what is coming up in Nursery
School! Miss Caroline is our wonderful school helper and assists us wherever needed.
We have lots planned to make learning fun and interesting. In September we will be learning about all the colors.
One good way to learn colors is to dress in the “Color of the Week” which is listed on the Nursery School bulletin board
for everyone to see. We will also begin learning our A-B-C’s.
Also in September is our Parent Orientation Night on Thursday, September 11th at 7:00 PM. Parents will have
the opportunity to meet with the staff, ask questions, and view slides of the activities planned for the children throughout
the year. The children will be making a gift for you in class which will be given out when you visit the classroom, so
please make every effort to attend. (Parents only please.)
Moms and Dads are invited to attend Chapel on Monday, September 15th at 9:15 AM. Pastor Niel & his guitar
will lead the children in songs and teach an object lesson.
On September 18th we will celebrate the letter “B” with Beach Day. Children may bring in something that they
would use at the beach. On September 25th we will take a “hike”to our “campsite” in the fellowship hall and pretend as
we sit around a “campfire” & roast marshmallows for Camp Day for the letter “C”. The month of September will end
with our Teddy Bear Picnic on September 30th as we all bring in our Teddy Bears to celebrate the color Brown.
As you can see, September will be a busy month for us. Each month one of the staff will write an article in the
“CALL” newsletter about the month’s activities, so be sure to read all about what we have done at Nursery School.
