Giving them and receiving them, large or small, gifts can bring a smile or even a tear of happiness. The perfect gift reflects something about the person that receives it--it answers a deep need or recognizes something about them that very few people know or see in them. The perfect gift--that give has power, the power to bring you closer together. We recognize Jesus Christ as the perfect gift for all of us and we can help others to know and understand that because Jesus loves us, we love them through giving to the Christmas Joy offering. We walk beside them as they seek education or help in an emergency or help with the high cost of care in their senior years. Through your generosity, you change lives. Please prayerfully consider giving to the Christmas Joy offering to help students become leaders and church workers to have security in their lives. Offering envelopes are in the pews or mark your online donation, Joy offering.

Again. Last Thursday morning at the men’s bible study I more or less called myself out. I mentioned to the fellow attendees that the following night (last Friday) I would be doing something in the midst of the Advent season that was contrary to the spirit of Advent — I would be going to the Bobcat football game. It was a rather half-hearted condemnation of myself (and by association anyone else attending the game), as I was actually trying to make a larger point. But still it was out there. I had voiced a thought out loud, and there was no taking it back. This is not the first time Bobcat football has been mentioned in this space, and I am fully cognizant of the fact not everyone is as “down” with this sport as I am. I suspect there are many people reading this that view football as a violent and unnecessary waste of time, energy, and money. And those people are right. One person at church on Sunday confessed they didn’t know much about the sport other than it seems to be a bunch of people chasing after a ball who occa- sionally fall on top of each other. Nevertheless, I invest a fair amount of my own time, energy, and money following the sport. And so it was that my comeuppance occurred the very next night. I was parking my car in the lot adjacent to the stadium. This parking lot is used during business hours by the profes- sionals that occupy the buildings in the development — lawyers, dentists, insurance agents, en- gineers, etc. But on game days the lot is opened up to the footballing public, who pay a modest fee which is actually donated to local charities. It is a noble gesture by these business owners and normally means that for six Saturdays each fall they have limited access to their own offices. Friday night, however, marked the eighth time this has happened this year, because the Bobcats have advanced farther in the playoffs than in many years. It was also a Friday afternoon and technically during business hours. Giving up their parking lot was a definite inconvenience for these business owners, and one of them let me know it as I exited my car. This person used a very condescending tone to express their feelings about me and my ilk, and I was taken aback. I was speechless. I couldn’t think of a single thing to say in reply, so I just kept walking toward the stadium, feeling transparent and, well, guilty. This brief encounter has obviously been on my mind all week (although I must confess that during the game I didn’t pay it much heed.) Later as I reflected, I tried to put this silly form of entertainment into the greater context of the Advent narrative. So I asked myself the timeless question, what would Jesus do? I imagine Jesus would have thanked the professional for allow- ing their parking lot to bring good news to the oppressed, to bind up the brokenhearted, to pro- claim liberty to the captives, and release to the prisoners.

  • Sept 2013 Parish Newsletter
    PARISH Sept 20 13 ISSUEISSUE 38 33 JUNE 2012 This newsletter is distributed to every h ouse in the five parishes to commun icate the activities of the Bishopstone Group Parish Council and other local events Test your stamina, or opt for a gentler challenge, to raise money for the British Red Cross by entering the Hope Valley Run Get into training for the Hope Valley Run, in Herefordshire – a great way to keep fit and raise money for people in need. This year’s event, which takes place on Sunday, 6 October, will feature not only the established, multi-terrain 8 mile route but also a 4 mile fun run. The eight-mile timed race has been a regular feature of the Red Cross fundraising calendar. There are hills to test your stamina, long stretches to build up speed and some beautiful scenery to take in on the way as the route snakes through fields, woodland and along ash paths. This year’s entrants will have the challenge of trying to beat the current record of 52.4 minutes set in 2011. The four mile route takes place on the back of popular demand. Like the longer route it will take in woodland trails and keep road running to a minimum. More suitable for those looking for a less demanding challenge . The race starts and ends at the village hall in the picturesque village of Woolhope, in Herefordshire, (15 minutes off the M50) where parking, toilet and changing facilities will be available to runners. Bags can be left in a supervised store during the race and there will be a kitchen providing hot and cold refreshments The route runs through Haugh Wood, well known for its butterfly walks, and is marked throughout with marshals covering all junctions and turnings.

  • Hans-Peter Plaß Anmerkungen Zu Karl Philipp Moritz „Reisen Eines
    Hans-Peter Plaß Anmerkungen zu Karl Philipp Moritz „Reisen eines Deutschen in England“ im Jahr 1782 Hamburg 2014 Überarbeitet und erweitert am 8.2.2015, 21.2.2015, 15.3.2015, 3.4.2015, 17.6.2015, 17.10.2015, 3.1.2016, 28.2.2016, 27.8.2019 Literarische Werke und schriftliche Quellen erschließt man sich in aller Regel nicht durch bloßes Durchlesen. Wenn man ihren Gehalt erfassen will, muss man sie analysieren, interpretieren und sich Zusatzinformationen beschaffen. Erst dann fangen die Texte an, wirklich zu einem zu sprechen. Die „Reisen eines Deutschen in England“ geben zwar schon beim ersten Lesen eine ganze Menge her, man erfreut sich des leichten Tons, man meint Dinge zu erfahren, die so in keinem Geschichtsbuch stehen, aber wenn man sich anschließend daranmacht, mehr über die im Text erwähnten Personen, Einrichtungen, Wege, Vorgänge, Verhältnisse und Orte zu erfahren, mehr über den geistigen Kontext, in dem Moritz stand, dann wird einem die Beschäftigung mit dem kleinen Werk zu einem komplexen Bildungserlebnis. Sehr hilfreich bei der Recherche ist das Internet, das einem Informationen liefert, an die man früher nicht oder nur unter großen Mühen herangekommen wäre. Hilfreicher noch ist der Augenschein. Man nehme Moritz‘ Bericht zur Hand und suche die Orte auf, die er bereist hat. Erstaunt stellt man fest, dass so manches von dem, was er gesehen hat, noch vorhanden bzw. nicht gänzlich verschwunden ist. Anders als es Willi Winkler meint (1), taugt Moritz‘ Werk sehr wohl als Reiseführer, und vor Ort gewinnt man auch den Eindruck, dass man den „Wahrheitsgehalt“ der „Reisen eines Deutschen in England“ nicht in dem Maße anzweifeln muss, wie es Heide Hollmer tut (2).
