David Kienzle came into my office the other day and

asked me to “look over” his Tydings arIcle for September

(found in this newsle@er on page 8). As usual, there was

nothing to add, delete, or correct. In his arIcle he included

a picture of a plaque that hangs on a wall in the Choir Room honoring past Organist

and Choirmasters. The last inscripIon on the plaque reads:

David J. Kienzle

1998 –

Soon enough, the inscripIon will be updated to include David’s reIrement date.

There is a popular poem wri@en by Linda Ellis called “The Dash.” A man,

speaking at a friend’s funeral, refers to his friend’s head stone. The speaker

references the birthday and the date of death found on the stone, but then goes on

to menIon “what ma@ered most of all was the dash between those years.” Why?

“For that dash represents all the Ime they spent alive on earth and now only those

who loved them know what that li@le line is worth.”

Well—thanks be to God—David is not dead, or dying. We’re talking about a

plaque, not a headstone! Yet there, on the plaque, we will find a dash, and that dash

will remind us of how privileged we are to live that dash alongside David. As we

celebrate his reIrement, this we know: the excellence he has brought to our worship

is unparalleled in this region. His worship leadership has allowed each of us to come

through, and own, the fullest range of human emoIon and response. He has used

his God-given talent and brilliance to move us—heart, mind, and spirit—with

wisdom, grace, and understanding, all the while granIng each of us the opportunity

to grieve, rejoice, celebrate, delight, and commemorate life with integrity and

authenIcity. He and his music serve to sIr us to deeper faith and prayer, thus

provoking us to engage the fullness of the Kingdom of God and the life of service

offered us there.

All of this might lead you to believe that David is simply a finely giRed worship

musician. The truth of the ma@er is that God giRed David with music as a means of

ministry. David is every bit a Minister of Word and Sacrament as I am. His

“ordinaIon” is not acknowledged on a piece of paper, but it is surely wri@en on my

heart. For those of us privileged to know him in the everyday of life, we recognize

David to be a man of extraordinary faith, deep prayer, and unfailing commitment.

Within him you will find the compassion of Peter, the teaching ability of Paul, the

wisdom of Solomon, the righteousness of Isaiah, the determinaIon of Moses, and

the passion of John. He lives “as the Lord requires, doing jusIce, loving kindness, and

walking humbly with his God.”

More specifically, David witnesses to each of us what I believe to be the Apostle

Paul’s considerable elaboraIon of Micah’s charge.

Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; love one

another with mutual affec�on; outdo one another in showing honor. Do not

lag in zeal, be ardent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be pa�ent in

suffering, persevere in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints; extend

hospitality to strangers. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not

curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live

in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the

lowly; do not claim to be wiser than you are. Do not repay anyone evil for

evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all. (Romans 12:9-17)

David, it has been my parIcular honor to work beside you these past 17 years.

And I “praise God from whom all blessings flow” for your singular witness of faith and

service. I suspect you learned early on that you have been blessed to be a blessing.

A blessing you have been. A blessing you remain. Peace to you my friend.

James Welch

Organist in Concert

Sunday, 20 October, 2019

4:00 pm

“A Return to Paris”

Our First Event This Fall

In the Christ Church Music Series

Freewill offering received.

Concert Organist James Welch made a memorable impact on our audience when he performed here at Christ Church in April, 2013. When he returns this fall, he’ll bring with him echoes of Paris and an homage to Notre Dame Cathedral. Not long ago this organist from Palo Alto, California was invited to give a recital at Notre Dame. So, when the world’s most iconic remnant of Gothic architecture fell victim to a disastrous fire last April, Jim felt a personal loss like so many others. True, the organ high in the west gallery since 1868—and forever the symbol of French organ culture—was spared, as it was through two world wars. But the 300 ft. spire atop the cathedral collapsed and the rambling roof of lead tiles crumbled and the future of the building was uncertain. Visions of Notre Dame and the city surrounding it will come to life at the 4 o’clock concert when Jim makes his second appearance at our sanctuary organ. Our Gibbs-Preyer Schantz Organ, he claims, is one of the finest he has played in his career. The program opens with “Toccata parisienne,” written for him to premiere at the cathedral. Other masterworks along this theme include pieces by César Franck, George Gershwin (“An American in Paris”), and Louis Vierne. With these three movements from the famous first organ symphony, Jim pays tribute to the blind organist/composer who for 37 years was organist of Notre Dame and died at the console there after completing his 1,750th recital in the cathedral. Adding variety to the program will be a Bach toccata and a Puccini aria arrangement, and a few other surprises. James Welch is organist for Santa Clara University and St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Palo Alto. He received the Doctor of Musical Arts degree in organ performance from Stanford University with further studies in France and Austria. He has concertized internationally from the Far East to the Middle East, and in the U.S. has appeared at venues from the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. to the Mormon Tabernacle in Salt Lake City. As a specialist in Latin American organ music, he has edited three volumes of organ music by Mexican composers. He has released numerous CD’s on a variety of pipe organs. For the last four years Jim has been a volunteer bishop in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, pastoring around 200 university students and millennials employed by Google, Apple or various other Silicon Valley pursuits.

Thank you for the warm welcome you gave our children and the great

feedback you shared as they joined us with their families in Worship this

summer. There is no be@er way for children to learn about and appreciate

Worship than watching and learning from their family. With the support of

the Worship Ministry, we are going to conInue to welcome our school age

children into worship through December. Our nursery will remain open,

and our preschoolers will conInue to go to Kids' Church for class following

the Children's Message as they have done in the past. The children’s area

will remain available in the back of the Sanctuary. The Children's, Music,

and Worship Ministries are excited to explore the many ways our children

can parIcipate and lead in our Worship as we move forward. Thank you as

always for the love and support that you give to the children of CPC.

Have you remembered

your church in your will?

We are an acIve and giving

congregaIon. Besides giving to CPC each year,

many of us also give to other chariIes in Stark

County and beyond. When we pass on, however,

many of us do not think to include the church in our

wills. God has indeed been generous to us. Let us

plan to return some of our wealth back to God to

conInue the work of this church. Please consider

making a bequest to Christ Church in your will. You

can amend your will with a call to your a@orney. For

quesIons about making a bequest to CPC, feel free

to contact any member of the Endowment Ministry

(Jack Burnquist, Roger Gray, Teresa Houston, Linda

Norton, or Steve Stocker).

An Intentional Journey

Wakonda Is Sharing History

Through Pictures from Dick Barnard Chad Emerson, a former counselor, has spent the last year scanning and

saving slides of Camp Wakonda. Some of these pictures date back to

1959. They have been on Facebook, but they are now on a special site

that you can reach online without being on Facebook. Simply go to: cpc

-wakonda.smugmug.com. You will find a treasure of special memories!

It is a work in progress. Chad adds some pictures from month to month.

Looking for an extra

volunteer or two to help

assist with running sound

several Imes in December.

If you are interested,

please contact Brian Ohler

at ohlerb@gmail.com or

330-771-4676. You can

join Brian in the balcony on Sunday to see if it would be of interest

and if so he can go into some more in depth training and details.

As we have done in some past years,

we are parIcipaIng in supporIng

the Thanksgiving Baskets Downtown

project. Christ Church has been

asked to collect and donate boxes

of macaroni and cheese throughout September and October to be

included in the 1200 bags of thanksgiving meals they will be giving

out this coming November. DonaIons can be dropped off in the

church office or in the large box marked "Thanksgiving Baskets

Mac-N-Cheese" located near the Lectern side door in the

Sanctuary. Keep your eye out when you’re shopping for when

they're on sale and buy a bunch! Thank you!

Our Christ Church Music Ministry in Transition A Message of Gratitude from the Retiring Director of Music

This article is the last in a five-part series explaining a new phase of Music Ministry in and through Christ Church. In April we introduced Heather Cooper as the Interim Assistant Organist; in May we introduced her husband, Britt Cooper, as the Interim Director of Music; in July we reported on the “grass-roots” process of writing a new Mission Statement for Music Ministry; in August Britt wrote about the continuity that the church can expect from their new leadership; and now it is the appropriate occasion for me, the retiring Organist & Director of Music to attempt expressions of gratitude.

After 21½ years of ministry through Christ Church, a general or broad “thank you” to everyone conveys too little meaning, and yet an exhaustive list of all appropriate “thank-you’s” would require a 20-page edition of our Tydings newsletter. However, all can be summed up in that famous epigraph penned by Bach and other composers: Soli Deo Gloria – “to God alone be the glory.” I have immense gratitude for all that God has done here in Canton through so many people working together in this ministry.

Under the pastoring leadership of Dave deVries, “God has done marvelous things” (hymn no. 26) so that we all sing praises with a new song. Further, we all benefit from the generosity of this community: your extravagant financial support, abundant skills, talents, time commitments, heart, prayer, and most importantly, just plain hard work.

Indeed, I have been inspired by our ministers and lay leaders, our support staff, and especially choir members of all ages, many of whom have gone forward to join the heavenly choirs who forever sing to the glory of God’s name: “Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might . . .” Perhaps one of the most telling influences on my musical, spiritual, and creative development has been from children! As I gradually become more and more of a “grown up” in the faith, alongside a whole generation of young choristers, then teens, and now young adults, I realize how much they have shaped me and formed my hope for the future of the Church and for Christian mission.

Of course I will miss Sunday services in my beloved CPC community, but I am eager to be able to worship in other churches from week to week. I am privileged to be able to continue working with my colleagues on the Spirit & Space team: God-willing, we have less than a year before we all find ourselves in the midst of “holy chaos” to accommodate the construction of several revisions to our building entrances and worship space. Also, as Christ Church has been so generous to me, I hope to give back a tiny portion to my church community by serving on the fringes of some of our non-musical ministries.

Thank you, everyone, for teaching me that God will “take me as I am, will summon out what I shall be, and that God’s seal is set upon my heart to live in me.” (paraphrase, hymn no. 698). Excellence has always been the tradition of glorifying God through music and the arts in Christ Church. I have been so privileged to serve in the long lineage of esteemed musicians; and so many successes in my work here have been by riding on the backs of my predecessors who have served even more ably than I. And thanks to the wise leadership of several dedicated lovers of CPC, we now have this new vision for ministry, succinct and all-inclusive:

The Music Ministry of Christ Presbyterian Church welcomes the community, inspires worship, and nurtures spiritual growth as we celebrate and glorify Creator God, Redeeming Savior, and Holy Spirit. Grace and peace, through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, God’s humble servant, David J. Kienzle

Is there a point to ecological stewardship with the New Earth? While the Redeeming RevelaIon sermon series has ended, I find myself wishing that I could have had the Ime to cover just

one more topic. In my last sermon, I focused on the new heaven and the new earth, talking about our ulImate hope and how

heaven and earth will mysIcally be united together forever. Obviously, those are important topics, but we also need to relate the

new heaven and the new earth to our faith and life in the here and now. If we’re not careful, we could put so much hope in the

future that we devalue our present and parIcularly our present earth. If we do not firmly ground our theology of the end with a

solid theology of God’s good creaIon, then we might be tempted to throw it all away. Some ChrisIans on the fringes, in reading

RevelaIon, put forth an argument that, if God is going to fix everything at the end anyhow, what’s the point of ecological

stewardship today? They would argue that we should use up all the resources of the earth because it’s going away soon.

These folks may forget that way back in Genesis, God called upon humanity to be stewards of the earth. That means that it is

our conInuing responsibility to take care of the earth by such things as limiIng how many resources we use and how much we

contribute to polluIon. I’m reminded of the song by Shirley Erena Murray, which says, “Touch the earth lightly, use the earth

gently, nourish the life of the world in our care: giR of great wonder, ours to surrender, trust for the children tomorrow will

bear.” (Hymn No. 713 in Glory to God)

Even while we might proclaim that Christ is coming soon, like the early church, even living into that truth, we have to struggle

to figure out how to live in the everyday. What if Christ does not come in this generaIon or in the next? How do we best answer

God’s call to be stewards of creaIon, while loving God and neighbor? Touch the earth lightly! Care for the earth so that our

brothers and sisters and even our children who come aRer us might be able to enjoy the earth as we do! As it relates to the new

earth, one pastor writes that, “It is the job of the church to lead the world in affirming and, more important, enjoying the

goodness of creaIon. We are not going somewhere else at the end of Ime, because this world is our home. And our home is

good” (Bell, Velvet Elvis).

While RevelaIon says that God will be making all things new, we must stand firm that this does not mean that God is

throwing away the old. Instead, God is redeeming and perfecIng the old. We must affirm that there is a certain conInuity

between the old earth and the new earth and there is also a disconInuity. This is just like the resurrecIon of Jesus and our

resurrecIon, too! The Scots’ Confession reminds us that Jesus lived, died, and rose again into the “selfsame body” (3.11). We

affirm that there is conInuity here, but there is also a sense of newness to Jesus’ resurrected body, thus disconInuity—something

has changed, but not everything. The same is for us. We believe that God will give new life to these bodies in the resurrecIon at

the last day. In the same way, we must affirm that God in Christ will bring about the new heaven and the new earth by redeeming

the old. That means that God sIll values this earth and we must value it, too! MarIn Luther supposedly once said, “If I knew the

world would end tomorrow, I would plant a tree.” So then, let us both look forward to Christ’s return and plant a tree, invesIng in

this present world that God will perfect.

Pastor Michael

September 15 at 4:00 PM RevelaDon Epic Tell “Blessed is the one who reads aloud

the words of the prophecy,

and blessed are those who hear

and who keep what is wri>en in it;

for the �me is near.”

These are the first few verses of RevelaIon and the only Ime in Scripture that we are told that those who read

the words aloud are blessed. With the desire to receive that blessing and to dig deeper into the Bible, we will

present a musical adaptaIon and recitaIon of the whole book of RevelaIon on Sunday, September 15 at 4:00

PM. Featuring the Chancel Choir, under the direcIon of Dr. Bri@ Cooper, and Heather Cooper at the organ, this

worship service will present a reader’s theater-style recitaIon of John’s visions. We hope that you come to

receive a blessing and that you are encouraged in your faith!

Dear Christ Presbyterian,

Thank you for the Scholarship! When I went to

China, I felt I did not need to overstress about money. I

also got the opportunity to fund one of my USAC friends

on a trip. That was very fun. Anyways, I hope you all

have a great day.

P.S. Now I can be able to get a minor in Chinese!

Thank you and God bless you, with love,
