I came down from heaven and I danced on the earth, at Bethlehem I had my birth. ( I danced for the scribes and the Pharisees, but they wouldn’t dance, they wouldn’t follow Me. I danced for the fishermen James and John. They came with me so the dance went on. I danced on the Sabbath and I cured the lame. The holy people said it was a shame. They ripped, they stripped, they hung Me high, and left Me there on the cross to die. I danced on a Friday, when sky turned black. It’s hard to dance with the devil on your back. They buried my body, they thought I was gone. But! I am the dance, and I go on. They cut me down and I leapt up high.I am the life that will never, never die. I’ll live in you if you’ll live in me. I am the Lord of the dance, said He. Doxology: (Hymn No. 694)...............................................tune: Praise God, from whom all blessing flow. Praise Him, all creatures here below.

Postlude: from “Enigma Variations” Edward Elgar..................Jerry Taylor, organ Worship Notes: Participants: Dr. Karl Haffner, our senior pastor, presents today’s sermon from Luke 2:41-52. Dan Stevens, our pastor for administration, hosts today’s worship and tells the Children’s Story. Lorraine Beaven presents the Prayers of the People. Lorraine and Winton Beaven (who died in 2003), joined our congregation in 1970. Jerry Taylor, our minister of worship and music, is the organist/choir director for today’s service. Music Notes: As we gather for worship today Grant Wareham, one of our youth, will play two movements of Mendelssohn's “Piano Concerto No. 1 in G minor” (Op. 25), which was written in 1831. The two movements are in E major and in G major. Grant Wareham is a home school senior, who studies piano with Barbara Wasson. is a short call to worship composed by Bryan Jeffrey Leach who grew up in England. At age 33, after a stint in the navy, he came to America where he studied theology, pastored two significant churches and edited hymnals. is the original title of this great hymn that sold 6 million copies in 27 years. It was first published in “Sabbath School Book” of Scotland. The tune, probably originated as a folk song from 1825, also known as Spanish Hymn. It came to America and was copied with these words by Benjamin Carr. will be sung in responsorial sequence. Madelyn Callender, one of our elders and a choir member, sings the text and we respond with a well-known musical phrase that is from Hymn No. 334. is a Shaker hymn that tells of the life of Jesus, as though Jesus were a “kid” telling his own story. It is heard today in an arrangement for choir by John Ferguson who is at St. Olaf’s in Minnesota. is one of the most popular songs in recent hymnals. The text feels like Christ is comparing our lives to His own. He was always there and will always be. It was composed in 1985 by John Ylvisaker, a pastor in Minnesota. (Hymn No. 567) was inspired by an elderly woman's prayer in 1900. Adelaide Pollard, an itinerant Bible teacher and African missionary, took these words and developed them into this hymn. Her friend, George Stebbins, who was part of the Moody-Shankey evangelistic team, composed the tune for these words in 1907. is from Edward Elgar’s “Enigma Variations,” composed for orchestra in 1899, a set of pieces that described his friends. The ninth variation was given the name 'Nimrod' after the biblical reference to Noah's great-grandson of the same name, who was a gifted hunter. It pays tribute to Elgar's great friend Augustus J. Jaeger, (whose surname in German translates to 'Hunter') who managed to keep Sir Edward's hopes up while he was still trying to make his mark in the world of music. Elgar attempted to capture Jaeger's nobility in the slowness of the piece and (allegedly) tried to make a musical reproduction of a conversation they once had late at night concerning the slow movements of Beethoven's slow pieces. Indeed, the first few bars closely resemble the very start of the second movement of Beethoven's Eighth Piano Sonata (also called ). Having said that, the piece also borrows from Mendelssohn at one point, as well. Confessions, Turtles, & Kingdoms Part 7 in Series: I. Considering Kingdoms (Luke 2:1-7) And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. (Micah 5:2, 5) "But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel … and he will be the man of peace.” “God is in charge. He uses all the cacophony of human frenzy. He laughs at our plans. Silently, unobtrusively, unseen, unheard, He works out purposes that shake and rattle and roll and turn our world upside down and inside out. We build our little kingdoms and call other people to come and look at them and see them and go “Wow!” And then, they crumble into dust, and God uses the rubble of human disaster to build a Kingdom of redeemed beauty and unimagined splendor. God is in charge. He is so in charge that He can use evil kings, even without their knowing it. And the foundation on which He is building His redeemed world is lying in a manger in Bethlehem. It is not about me. It is not about you. It’s about Jesus.” ~ II. Comparing Kingdoms (Luke 2:1-7) 1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. 2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) 3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) 5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. 6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

  • Chronology of Seventh-Day Adventist Education: 1872-1972
    CII818L8tl or SIYIITI·Ill IIYIITIST IIUCITIGI CENTURY OF ADVENTIST EDUCATION 1872 - 1972 ·,; Compiled by Walton J. Brown, Ph.D. Department of Education, General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists ·t. 6840 Eastern Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20012 i/ .I Foreword In anticipation of the education centennial in 1972 and the publication of a Seventh-day Adventist chronology of education, the General Conference Department of Education started to make inquiries of the world field for historical facts and statistics regarding the various facets of the church program in education. The information started to come in about a year ago. Whlle some of the responses were quite detalled, there were others that were rather general and indefinite. There were gaps and omissions and in several instances conflicting statements on certain events. In view of the limited time and the apparent cessation of incoming materials from the field, a small committee was named with Doctor Walton J. Brown as chairman. It was this committee's responsibility to execute the project in spite of the lack of substantiation of certain information. We believe that this is the first project of its kind in the denomination's history. It is hoped that when the various educators and administrators re­ view the data about their own organizations, they will notify the Department of Education concerning any corrections and additions. They should please include supporting evidence from as many sources as possible. It is hoped that within the next five to ten years a revised edition may replace this first one. It would contain not only necessary changes, but also would be brought up to date.

The agenda for the meeting had in- cluded exploring methods and ideas for attracting and retaining more youth and young adults to become active in church. After a lively discussion, which included ideas and opinions on why the Church no longer seemed relevant to today’s youth, as well as few compelling options on how to change that reality, the rhetorical question was expressed: “What DO we do about the youth?” No one in the circle around the church board table had an answer, perhaps none was expected, and the board agenda moved on to the next topic. Has this scenario happened in your church board meeting? As I travel throughout my Conference, and as I interact with my presidential peers in the North American Division, it seems that both denominational and local church leaders share a common concern for our youth. This concern could best be summarized as an- Steve Haley, President of the Kentucky-Tennessee other question: “Where are they?” The reality is that, in many of our congregations, there Conference is a noticeable absence of youth and young adults participating in the life and ministry of the Church.

  • Union College During My First Year of Teaching Here
    IAMA Online Notes Spring 2015/ music vacancies summary IAMA Online Notes Spring 2015 President's Message The IAMA Online Notes continues to be a wonderful vehicle for us musicians to keep informed about what is happening musically in our denomination. Once again Dan Shultz has pulled together a very informative newsletter that keeps us from feeling isolated in our own limited spheres of influence. Harold Lickey, who died earlier this week, came to Walla Walla University my senior year there. It was with sadness that I learned of his passing a few days ago after several years of illness. My sympathies go out to his family and friends. It was a surprise to hear that Mount Vernon Academy is being closed at the end of this school year. It was one of the main feeder schools to what is now Washington Adventist University when I was teaching there in the 1960s. Congratulations to Linda Neel upon her retirement from Portland Adventist Academy. She was completing her master’s degree in music at Pacific Union College during my first year of teaching here. She has become a legend in the Portland area, and we are proud of her as one of our PUC alumni. It was great to see that Marvin Robertson is still so active in music at age 80. I really miss getting to see him and the other SDA music department chairs from across the nation at the National Association of Schools of Music annual meetings. It would be fun to get together this November in St. Louis again.
