When God created the earth, God put all things under our stewardship. God provided the bountiful earth for our nourishment and placed it in our care. Leading Israel from Egypt into the Promised Land was like a new creation. God brought the Israelites into this good land, providing all they needed for food, shelter and industry. For this, God asked for the people’s praise and reverence and that they would recognize God as the provider of all good things. In Israel, barley was harvested around the time of the Passover, and wheat was harvested in May. Wheat was the most important harvest of the year. Bread was the primary food of the people of Israel, providing more than 50 percent of their nutritional needs. At Pentecost, 50 days after the Passover, Israel celebrated the spring harvest of barley and wheat. The Israelites set aside this day in praise to God for his benevolence in providing and blessing their crops. Three times each year, the Israelites gathered to celebrate the harvest. The first celebration, the Feast of Unleavened Bread, was held the day after the Passover and celebrated with the first fruits of the barley grain. The end-of-year celebration, the Feast of Ingathering, celebrated all the year’s harvests. This celebration was similar to our own Thanksgiving. In between at Pentecost, the most important crop of the year, the wheat crop, was celebrated at the Feast of the Harvest. Pentecost, which this year falls on May 20th, is the day the church was born with the appearance of the Holy Spirit to Christ’s disciples. At Pentecost, we celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit descending in a mighty rush of wind and flame to inspire the church’s proclamation of Christ’s rising and to empower its mission and ministry to the world. This day is significant. The reason Jerusalem was filled with so many people on that day, people from all around the world speaking in different languages, was because this was the day of the celebration of the harvest. This was the harvest festival. It was a day that people from all around the world gathered in Jerusalem to give praise to God, to celebrate and give thanks for all God had provided to them, to give thanks for the harvest. Within this gathering appeared the Spirit, working through the lives of the apostles, those sent by Jesus, to spread the good news of the gospel. Here on this one day, the gospel could be spread to the whole world, without even leaving the city of Jerusalem. Pentecost, the celebration of the harvest, was the beginning of the church, the beginning of the harvest of lives, those who give thanks for both the wheat bread and the living bread, gifts of God’s love and grace. When we gather to celebrate Pentecost, we also celebrate the importance of wheat and the harvest – something near and dear to the farmers of Kansas. We ask for God’s blessings on the harvest and the farmers who sow the seed and reap the annual harvest, as well as the eternal harvest of God’s abiding love and grace. FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH PG. 3 Keith’s Corner...Doing Church Intergenerationally Last month, I began a series of newsletter articles inviting you to think with me through the ways people of different generations live together and communicate – especially here at First Presbyterian Church. Last month’s article will give a bit of background on generation theory and how our different generations have been growing apart. This month, we’ll take a look at some reasons in Scripture why we might try to be intentional about doing church intergenerationally. Next month, we will look at other reasons why we might try to be intentional about doing church intergenerationally. As always, I’d love to talk with you about it, so chat with me, call me, email me, or stop by! I strongly believe that our individual and collective journeys of faith will be strengthened if we are intentional about being intergenerational in our church. In the last 15-20 years as the effects of age segregation have become more pronounced, a relative abundance of research has been published on intergenerational church life, and, thankfully, more and more communities of faith are getting on board the “intergenerational train.” If you aren’t sure about boarding the train, let me offer you some biblical reasons in support of intergenerational church life. In the Bible, intergenerationality is the norm – not the exception. In the Old Testament, we learn about the image of the family of Israel experiencing the Exodus, entering the Promised Land, and the exile together. I invite you to look at these passages for just a few insights on intergenerationality from our ancestors in the faith: Deuteronomy 29:10-12 – Moses assembles the Israelites and addresses them before they enter the Promised Land Joshua 8:34-35 – Joshua assembles the Israelites and reads the Torah after a military conquest Think about some of the important intergenerational relationships in scripture, such as Ruth and Naomi (the book of Ruth), Eli and Samuel (1 Samuel 1-4), Elijah and Elisha (1 Kings 19:19-21, 2 Kings 2), and Esther and Mordecai (the book of Esther). In the New Testament, we see explicit words and actions, along with implicit nods, towards intergenerationality. We read about: Matthew 19:34-35 - Jesus welcoming the children Entire households worshiping together in Acts (2:46-47, 4:32-35, 16:31-34) Plus, think about how difficult it would be to be the Body of Christ without the gifts of members of all generations (see Romans 12, 1 Corinthians 12, and Ephesians 4). I hope this has been some food for thought in our series. I look forward to continuing our discussion together with your input, and with our third article in the series in June.

  • Title: the Distribution of an Illustrated Timeline Wall Chart and Teacher's Guide of 20Fh Century Physics
    REPORT NSF GRANT #PHY-98143318 Title: The Distribution of an Illustrated Timeline Wall Chart and Teacher’s Guide of 20fhCentury Physics DOE Patent Clearance Granted December 26,2000 Principal Investigator, Brian Schwartz, The American Physical Society 1 Physics Ellipse College Park, MD 20740 301-209-3223 [email protected] BACKGROUND The American Physi a1 Society s part of its centennial celebration in March of 1999 decided to develop a timeline wall chart on the history of 20thcentury physics. This resulted in eleven consecutive posters, which when mounted side by side, create a %foot mural. The timeline exhibits and describes the millstones of physics in images and words. The timeline functions as a chronology, a work of art, a permanent open textbook, and a gigantic photo album covering a hundred years in the life of the community of physicists and the existence of the American Physical Society . Each of the eleven posters begins with a brief essay that places a major scientific achievement of the decade in its historical context. Large portraits of the essays’ subjects include youthful photographs of Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, and Richard Feynman among others, to help put a face on science. Below the essays, a total of over 130 individual discoveries and inventions, explained in dated text boxes with accompanying images, form the backbone of the timeline. For ease of comprehension, this wealth of material is organized into five color- coded story lines the stretch horizontally across the hundred years of the 20th century. The five story lines are: Cosmic Scale, relate the story of astrophysics and cosmology; Human Scale, refers to the physics of the more familiar distances from the global to the microscopic; Atomic Scale, focuses on the submicroscopic This report was prepared as an account of work sponsored by an agency of the United States Government.
