THE OPEN DOOR Issue 4 Volume 12

January 22, 2012

______________________________________________________________________________________

Pastor’s Message

This past weekend eight youth, two leaders,

and I went to Pilgrim Center for the annual

Wisconsin Conference UCC high school youth

retreat. Sixty-one people from all over the

state gathered for a weekend of worship, mu-

sic, relationship building, and intentional de-

votion. The theme was “Gathering Waters”; a

reminder of how our baptism unites and calls

us to be a community gathering in the name

of Christ. There were a lot of conversations,

some deep questions, and a major dose of fun.

This retreat got me to thinking about all the

retreat experiences that have helped solidify

my faith over the years. I have attended

enough lock-ins, weekend ski trips, mission

trips, fall and spring weekends to make a

pretty long list. Consequently, a lot of my

strongest memories of “church” were not ac-

tually at “church.” In fact my church memo-

ries include musty camp cabins, gymnasium

floors, distant hotels, sleeping under the stars,

strangers becoming friends, conversations in

the back of a fifteen-passenger car. While I

wasn’t at church, the Church was all around

me. The Church was growing without a

building.

In my mind (especially working with youth)

the relational and spiritual growth that takes

place on a well-planned retreat is hard to

match. When we uproot ourselves and travel

together something happens that cannot be

measured. We journey to a new place, to in-

vite God into our lives in a new way, and

learn to see one another as new creations. This

immersion is often second to none as we jour-

ney along the road of faith. But traveling to-

gether requires true commitment. It means

not only clearing the blackberry schedule and

taking those first steps together; but it also

means journeying with an open heart. An

open heart experiences God in the different

faces, places, and new ways God meets us. An

open heart is non anxious, non judgmental,

and flexible. An open heart seeks to under-

stand and be receptive, not to be served and

chronically disappointed by unmet expecta-

tions. Yet sometimes we sign up for a retreat

(or church program) like we sign up for a new

service contract with our cable company.

With all the discriminating expectations of the

finest consumer (something we Americans

pride ourselves upon) the retreat experience is

understood as a product and thoroughly in-

spected for flaws. Relationships become objec-

tified, faith becomes a commodity, and we are

off to the next product to feed our appetites.

And our hearts become closed to the move-

ment of God in the Church without a build-

ing. I call this the “consumers heart.” I know

my consumers heart can get the best of me

during normal life, let alone a full immersion

experience where everything tends to be am-

plified.

7

When was the last time that you participated

in a retreat experience? When have you par-

ticipated in a mission trip? When have you

cleared the calendar for an immersion in

Christ? And if you have, did you have an

open heart or did your consumers heart get

the best of you? This summer from July 15-22

thirty six high school youth and adults will

travel to Marvell, Arkansas for a week of wor-

ship and service on our summer mission trip.

It promises to be a wonderful experience; one

of many that our church provides for all ages.

If you are in high school, or have a child in

high school, spaces are filling fast and I chal-

lenge you to take the first step and commit.

Commit with a willingness to serve and the

joy of an open heart, and expect to meet God

in a new way!

Give me a call if you have any questions.

Congregational Life

Monday Morning Prayer Moments in

the Chapel: (Beginning Feb. 6) A new opportunity will be available to First

Congo and any of its member friends to meet

for one hour from 10:15 am to 11:15 am Mon-

day mornings to lift up those listed in the bul-

letin/newsletter in extended moments of

prayer in the Chapel. We shall also include

any others of family and community that are

mentioned by those attending. After an open-

ing greeting and word, the leader will read

the name and there will be moments for each

to silently give their own prayers. When we

have prayed for everyone on the list, we shall

close the prayer moments with the Lord’s

Prayer. If there is time left in the hour, we

shall do a shared study of either the texts used

on the Sundays of worship or a particular Bib-

lical passage. There will be time for discus-

sion. We shall end with a benediction. Rev.

Harvey Kandler and Rev. Maynard Beemer

will lead these moments which are intended

to be available throughout the year. There

will be a sign-up in the back of church for

those interested. Anyone is welcome.

CHRYSALIS Join us for our next book discussion! The

Chrysalis group will be reading Bad Girls of

the Bible by Liz Curtis Higgs. We meet the

first and third Tuesdays of each month from

5:30-6:45 p.m. Our newest book discussion

will begin Tuesday, February 7th . Call

Sheryl De Hart, 731-2620, or Trish Brehm, 739-

8522, for more information.

Mental Illness Support Group If you're looking for information and support

to cope with a relative's mental illness, First

Congregational and NAMI offer a monthly

family sharing group based on the NAMI

model and led by NAMI-trained facilitators

who are part of our congregation. Participants

need not attend First Congregational.

The purposes of the group are to:

Provide a safe place for sharing our expe-

riences and concerns with each other

Offer constructive suggestions for dealing

with day-to-day and long-term challenges

Be a source of spiritual nurture and hope

at a time when hope is hard to find.

8

Please note that this group is intended for

people currently in an active care-giving rela-

tionship with a loved one suffering from a

mental illness, not for those struggling with

mental illnesses themselves. New participants

are welcome at any session.

Warming Shelter

Thank you to the 60+ members that have

volunteered this week at the warming shel-

ter! Special thanks to Leigh Grube & Mary

Sullivan for coordinating this week.

NOAHH (Neighbors Offering A

Helping Hand) Thank you to everyone that donated items

listed last week! After reading the article,

some people asked “What is NOAHH” and

“How do you get these families situations”?

Project NOAHH is a way that social workers

from Outagamie County Human Services can

meet unmet needs of their clients by connect-

ing those needs with members of churches

who neither have the items and no longer

need them, who offer to purchase new items

or who offer monetary donations for to be

used for the need. In a recent situation a

child needed the fees to participate in ‘brown-

ies’ – allowing her good socialization and

mentoring, in another situation a child has

benefited greatly by participating on a swim

team. Updates on needs will be shared as

we receive them. For anyone wishing to do-

nate funds to this mission ministry, please

indicate NOAHH in the memo area of your

check. Your donations and support have

made a difference for many children, parents

and families!

70 countries through mission partners in or-

phanages, clinics relief centers and schools.

for malnourished children.

The Mission & Service team is seeking people

who are interested in leaing/organizing’ this

project on behalf of First Congregational. We

are considering being a ‘Participating Con-

gregation’ and in order to do that need lead-

ership from our congregation to attend organ-

izational meetings, help determine the meal

count & financial goal, strategize and organ-

ize fund raising and promote the project

ESTHER CORE Team Presents…

Sunday, January 29, at 9:50 a.m. in the Chapel,

our church ESTHER CORE Team will present

the TIP “11x15” Campaign. The statewide

interfaith organization of WISDOM believes

that the prison population in the state can and

should be reduced by half – to 11,000 by the

end of 2015 throught alternative treatment.

We pay a huge human price for our overuse

of incarceration. Families and communities

have been destroyed. Costs have risen dra-

matically. The cost of Corrections in Wiscon-

sin has risen from under $200 million per year

in 1990 to more than $1.3 billion in 2011. This

cannot be sustained.

The vast majority of inmates in our prisons

have no history of violence. Many suffer from

mental illness and/or addictions. Most are

people of color, and an inordinate number

come from backgrounds of poverty.

The good news is that alternatives to incarcer-

ation that are being proven effective every

day in our state. Counties have extablished

numberous programs: drug treatment courts,

mental health courts, day report centers, uni-

versal screening, mental health courts, and

more. We are learning, decisively and over-

whelmingly, that alternatives to incarceration

are effective. They are effective by most any

measure:

Alternatives to incarceration nearly

all result in markedly lower recidi-

vism rates. That is, offernders in al-

ternative programs tend to be rehabil-

itated and not to re-offend, while in-

carcerated offenders are more likely

to commit another offense.

Alternatives to incarceration are more

likely to result in restoring the of-

fender to health, expecially those suf-

fering frm mental illness and/or ad-

dictions.

Alternatives to incarceration save

taxpayers a great deal of money.

Most save at least $2 for every dollar

spent.

Please join us on the 29th and sign on to this

campaign.

Addendum to the First Congregational U.C.C. Bulletin/Newsletter

January 22, 2012

Notice of a Call for Ratification of Prior Council Decision

On February 5, 2012, the congregation will be asked to vote on the following recommended revi-

sion:

At the March 2011 meeting, Church Council recommended that Article 10, Section 1 of the By-

laws be revised as follows, “The Annual Meeting of the church shall be held in January no

later than the second Sunday in February of each year, the exact date to be set by the Church

Council.”

The purpose of changing the meeting date from January to February is to allow more time for the

preparation of year-end reports and the coming-year budget, with the expectation that both will

be available to members for review at least two weeks before the Annual Meeting date. This

change enables more thoughtful preparation of reports since the prior year church financial ac-

counts are not complete until mid-January. This year, the Annual Report was available to the

congregation on January 22, 2012.

Upon ratification of this revision, the By-Laws will be amended accordingly.
