Brian Cope Dear Friends, Last month I started a series of articles on what the Church is going to look like in the future. I am interrupt- ing the series, however, to discuss something else this month. I promise to return to the series on the future of the Church in January. When they were asked what they would like to do to make an impact during the Christmas season this year, the Teen Faith in Action came up with two plans. One was to raise money for Feed My Starving Children, a program in which they have done a lot of work in the past couple of years. The other plan was to do some- thing with and for the congregation. It is this second idea that I want to focus upon. They call their Christmas program – the Giving Angel Program (Just for fun). It is a program for the congregation (although I am sure that you do not have to be a member of the church to take part). The idea is a variation of the classic Secret Santa program. You turn in your name. There is a random drawing and you are given the name of some- one else participating. You are to give that person a Christmas gift. You are encouraged to make something to give, but if you do spend money, you are asked to limit your ex- pense to $10. Here is the catch: if you do purchase your gift, you are asked, encouraged, urged to purchase your gift from an organization that is improving the world (Feed My Starving Children, Heavenly Attic, Equal Exchange etc.) In other words, what sets this apart from a Secret Santa gift exchange is that you will be giving twice – to your secret Christmas pal and to the people who benefit from your purchase! You will definitely be a Giving Angel! This is not part of the program’s guidelines, but if you do participate in the program, let us know where your gift came from and who was helped by it. Then after Christmas, we can see just how far our giving program went this year. I know that with everything that is going on during the Christmas season it is easy to brush this kind of program aside. Let me try to persuade you to participate, however. The teens came up with this program on their own. They could have chosen a party for themselves. They could have stuck with the traditional sock and mitten tree, which really requires little effort from them. But they thought of the church and its mission with this creative project. As for yourself, how many Christmas presents will you give and get this year which will benefit not only yourself or the person to whom you are giving the gift, but at the same time help someone on the other side of the planet—or a homeless person here? Fill out a form and let’s make this a most successful program. The second Christmas project that the teens came up with is a fund raiser for Feed My Starving Children Again, they have come up with a way to raise money that works two ways: they are offering babysitting so that parents can have time off to shop for Christmas, and all of the money they raise will be given to Feed My Starving Children. They are doing all of the work. So if you know of any parents who need babysitting on Friday, November 30 or Friday, December 7, they are charging $10 per hour (with discounts for more than one child in a family. I am proud of our teens: they are showing us what the true Spirit of Christmas actually is. Rev Cope 2 CLERGY CORNERS Rev. Arn Schaper “ LET THE LITTLE CHILDREN COME UNTO ME” Among many things, Advent is the season that invites “the child within each of us to new expression”. I was recently impressed with the state- ment from a statesman (from the past) that reinforces that invitation. It is a statement from Herbert Hoover (paraphrased): “Every child comes into the world with the message that God is not discouraged with humanity. Children are the most wholesome part of the race, for they are the freshest from the Hand of God. Whimsical, ingenious, mischievous, they fill the world with tenderness and joy. When God wants a great work done in the world, He goes about it in a most unusual way. Instead of earthquakes or thunderbolts, God has a helpless baby born, perhaps in a simple home of some obscure mother. And then God puts the idea of the infant’s potential into the mother’s heart, and she assists in putting into the infant mind and spirit, and then God waits!” The greatest forces in the world are not earthquakes or thunderbolts, but human infants! Jesus was recorded to have said, “Let the little children come unto me, for unto such belongs the Kingdom of Heaven…” Matthew 19:14 Blessings for your Advent journeying… Rev.
