The Extra Mile Start Here THE EXTRA MILE START HERE. START NOW. Share this pack Contents It’s that time of year again when you sit down as a group or committee to 2 Share this pack plan the Guild session. There are many forms that a Guild meeting can take, so take a look the 3 Introduction list below to find some inspiration and some new ways of planning and organising your meetings? 4 The Extra Mile Maybe you could think about: 5 Bible readings • how we work with the projects in terms of having them along to speak, but also in terms of thinking about the issues they are dealing 6 Hymn suggestions with and, where possible, how you might get directly involved with that work? 7 Prayers • an aspect of the Church’s wider work that you have perhaps not looked at before - Why not contact one of the new church forums? 16 Worship • how the Guild might be involved in discussions about and responses to the Church of Scotland’s Radical Action Plan and the changes that 22 Bible Studies will bring about at local, regional and national level. • holding a joint meeting with other church organisations. 25 Drama • encouraging friends from other local denominations to join you. • asking your Guilds Together Convener or National Council, the 26 Extra Ideas resource co-ordinator or ecumenical representative to visit. • finding speakers involved with organisations whose business is 27 Discussion topic appropriate to the theme. To increase awareness of the Guild, you could: • launch your Guild year with a dedication service or a promotional slot during Sunday worship. • publicise your meetings - posters are available and Guild Week is an ideal opportunity for outreach. • invite people along - a personal invitation can mean a lot to someone and is very effective. Last year we recruited hundreds of new members. • include your Guilds Together events into your schedule and try to avoid a clash with your own Guild meeting. • have some fun built into your programme - time for parties, visits, celebrations... it’s good to have fun together. • share that sense of ‘family’ the Guild is known for by caring for those who can no longer attend. 2 THE EXTRA MILE INTRODUCTION “One Journey, Many Roads” As we head into the last year of our three-year strategy, ‘One Journey, Many Roads’ and its theme ‘The Extra Mile’, it’s hard to believe how fast the time has gone. It is even harder to believe that I am in this position! But it is a real privilege to be able to serve the Guild in this new and exciting way. Jesus, whose we are and whom we serve, wants us to go the extra mile; The Bible talks about this extra mile... The phrase is an adaptation of a commandment of Jesus in the Sermon of the Mount when in Matthew 5: 41 he says: “And if someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.” It goes on to say “give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.” As we begin our year going ‘The Extra Mile’, we need to listen intently for what is being asked of us, and be ready to act by sharing with others the good gifts that we are privileged to have been given. There is so much injustice in the world and God wants us to be aware of where help is needed, and calls us to put our faith into action. And if someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. There are real practical examples of how that can be done: • Befriend someone who is lonely or isolated. • Help those who are homeless perhaps by giving financially or by volunteering in a local shelter. • Feed those who are hungry by offering a special meal for vulnerable people in your community. • Speak out wherever you see injustice and give a voice to the voiceless. These are just a few examples of how we as Guild members can go ‘The Extra Mile’, but I know there are so many other good examples in Guilds all over Scotland. Jesus wants us to be giving, loving, forgiving, gentle, going the extra mile. Do something above and beyond, something unexpected… in a good way. Jesus said “whatever you did for the least of these you did for me.” Mabel Wallace National Vice Convener with responsibility for Resources 3 THE EXTRA MILE “THE EXTRA MILE” What does the Bible tell us about going the extra mile? In the Old Testament Psalm 91:9-10 If you say “the Lord is my refuge” and you make the Most High your dwelling, no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. Deuteronomy 15:4-5 However, there need be no poor people among you, for in the land the Lord your God is giving you to possess as your inheritance, he will richly bless you, if only you fully obey the Lord your God and are careful to follow all these commands I am giving you today. Exodus 17:12 When Moses’ hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up - one on one side, one on the other - so that his hands remained steady until sunset. In the New Testament James 2:5 Listen, my dear brothers and sisters: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the Kingdom he promised those who love him? Romans 15:1 We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. 1 John 4:19-20 We love because he first loved us. Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. Old Testament: Journeys which went the ‘Extra Mile’: • Deuteronomy 31: 1-8 Joshua succeeds Moses • Ruth 1:15-18 Ruth is faithful to Naomi New Testament: • Matthew 5:38-48 The call to go the extra mile • Hebrews 6:1-12 Walking alongside God 4 THE EXTRA MILE BIBLE READINGS Passages from a different translation Ephesians 6: 10-20 (Refresh for Life Bible) This is the last thing I want to say: be strong with the Lord’s strength. Put on the things that God gives you to fight with. Then you will not fall into the traps of the devil. Our fight is not with people. It is against the leaders and the powers and the spirits of darkness in this world. It is against the demon world that works in the heavens. Because of this, put on all the things God gives you to fight with. Then you will be able to stand in that sinful day. When it is all over, you will be still standing. So stand up and do not be moved. Wear a belt of truth around your body. Wear a piece of iron over your chest which is being right with God. Wear shoes on your feet which are the Good News of peace. Most important of all, you need a covering of faith in front of you. This is to put out the fire-arrows of the devil. The covering for your head is that you have been saved from the punishment of sin. Take the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God. You must pray at all times as the Holy Spirit leads you to pray. Pray for the things that are needed. You must watch and keep on praying. Remember to pray for all Christians. Pray for me also. Pray that I might open without fear. Pray that I will use the right words to preach that which is hard to understand in the Good News. This is the reason I was sent out. But now I am in chains for preaching the Good News. I want to keep on speaking for Christ without fear the way I should. 1 Peter 2: 4-16 (The Message) Welcome to the living stone, the source of life. The workmen took one look and threw it out: God set it in the place of honour. Present yourselves as building stones for the construction of a sanctuary vibrant with life, in which you’ll serve as holy priests offering Christ approved lives up to God.

Whether it was adapting quickly to challenging new schedules and work environments, working longer or harder to abide by new protocols, or taking on extra duties to allow the more vulnerable among us to stay at home, I commend the entire AOC family for your outstanding performance. Under the most trying circumstances, you took ownership and showed leader- ship in fulfilling our mission to serve, preserve and inspire even as Washington, D.C., and the entire country, began to shut down.

Without their stories, this dissertation would not have been possible. Witnessing the daily struggles they undertook to improve their own lives and the lives of their children, I was left with a sense of deep admiration and renewed desire to help others understand the unique challenges that low- income, young mothers face. I am equally grateful for the dedicated service providers who assisted me in locating mothers to interview. In particular, Suzanne, Melissa, and Peggy went the extra mile taking time from their busy schedules to facilitate access, introductions, and insights with the mothers. I was fortunate to have had a committee of five accomplished women scholars who supplied the necessary balance of support and challenge to keep me motivated through the long, sometimes lonely, process of completing a dissertation.
