Orientation After Sunday Service In December

If you’re new to First Christian, drop in after Sunday service for a 15 minute Orientation

session. We hold them every Sunday after each service in the North Building Conference

Room – it’s your chance to personally meet Lead Pastor Tony Nelson and other church

leaders. You’ll hear about our vision, get an idea of what ministries we offer, and start

connecting with people here at FCC. Drop by the Information Window in the Lobby for

directions.

WORSHIP FULLY SPEND LESS GIVE MORE LOVE ALL

Are you tired of how consumerism has stolen the soul

of Christmas? This year, take a stand! Join the ground-

swell of Christ-followers who are choosing to make

Christmas what it should be — a joyous celebration of

Jesus’ birth that enriches our hearts and the world

around us, not a retail circus that depletes our pocket-

books and defeats our spirits.

Advent Conspiracy shows you how to substitute con-

sumption with compassion by practicing four simple,

but powerful, countercultural concepts:

WORSHIP FULLY ~ because Christmas begins and ends with Jesus!

SPEND LESS ~ and free your resources for things that truly matter.

GIVE MORE ~ of your presence: your hands, your words, your time, your heart

LOVE ALL ~ the poor, the forgotten, the marginalized, the sick, in ways that make a

difference.

Sometimes as churches grow, time goes on, and needs and circumstances change, a part of a ministry that was once needed may not be necessary any-more and other needs may need to be met. The women of First Christian Church are eager, ready, and more than willing to do God’s work. We do not know what the future will hold, but we do know that with God on our side there is no obstacle too big for us to conquer. Stay tuned!! Teri Smith 610-1003

If you are not already making Women's Ministry a matter of prayer, start now. It will make a huge difference not only in the outcome of particular events but also in our attitude as we go about working with Women's Ministry.

• Pray specifics, such as for projects, certain goals to be met, and particular events.

• Pray for choices as to what spiritual direction we need to focus on.

• Pray for an impact on the church and community from your Women's Ministry.

December 2009

one speaks to you or tells you what to do. You're alone, unsure of yourself, and more than anx-ious. You feel like an unwanted intruder in a club to which you don't belong. Visitors coming back depends on connecting with the church (from a human point of view anyway.) Greeters help people con-nect! Being a church Greeter is not difficult and it's one way for everyone to participate in the greater ministry of the church. It couldn’t be easier. All you have to do is call Rick and say, "I want to be a greeter.”

The Welcome Ministry is looking for greeters to serve at Christmas Services. Imagine that you are going some-place for the first time. You're probably not sure where you're go-ing or who to talk to when you get there. Somehow you manage to get to the right place and even find the front door. There are a lot of people standing around talking to one an-other, obviously friends or at least acquaintances. As you walk in, sev-eral people glance at you then re-turn to their conversations, but no

Here’s how it works…. • Arrive at church 20 minutes

before the service at which you're scheduled to greet.

• Meet Rick Smith at the table

next to the main office door. • Maintain your assigned greet-

ing position. • Be awake, friendly, welcom-

ing and assist everyone who needs help.

Tree of Sharing—Deadline Dec. 13

With Christmas fast approaching, Alongside Ministries will be

continuing the tradition of the helping families within our church.

Tree of Sharing is a time to help our church families with gifts and

food baskets. This is a great opportunity as a church family to come

together and help those who may be less fortunate than yourself. If

your small group or family is looking for a way to serve this Christmas

please contact Kim.

The Tree with tags and food list will be in the foyer thru De-

cember 13. Food, gifts and monetary donations can be dropped off at the church office

until December 13. Gifts and food baskets will be ready for pick up on December 17. To

make this possible we are asking that all gifts, food and donations be turned in by the due

date of December 13. Please be sure to attach the tag to the gifts.

If you know a family in the church that could use some help or are a family that

needs help please contact Kim Brackett no later than December 3rd in order for us to

get tags on the tree. All families are kept confidential. No names will be taken after the

December 3rd deadline.

THANK YOU!

FCC Worship Choir and Actors rehearse for a Christmas Production entitled:

“THAT’S THE GOOD NEWS!”

This December, we invite you to put the world on hold and join us on an imaginary trip to the little town of Pinck-ney, Nebraska. For years, Will Masterson a friendly down-home newscaster, has kept his community informed through “Wheat Radio.” But now, after losing his beloved wife of 40 years, Will’s world has fallen apart leaving him unable to cope with the news, a daily barrage of senseless murders, destruction and crime. Songs about joy and peace on earth seem contrived and meaningless until through the sweet, enduring , love of his granddaugh-ter Annie, her parents Lynn & Aaron and Will’s studio engineer Tucker, Will is reminded that a Savior has been born, bringing hope into our fallen world, and that ,well...That’s the Good News! This Musical will be just over an hour in length and brings together the talents of several soloists, 13 actors and a choir of about 50 voices! You will hear a song performed by a brand new male quartet and solos from Jane Henry, Olivia Long, Kelly Johnson, Carla Johnson, Abby Johnson, Kristine Oliver, Sam Richardson and more. There will be a total of six performances offered of this Christmas Musical. They are: Friday, December 11th at 7pm Saturday, December 12th at 3pm (Matinee)

Saturday, December 12th at 7pm Friday, December 18th at 7pm Saturday, December 19th at 3pm (Matinee) Saturday, December 19th at 7pm.

Be sure to get your tickets from one of the Cast, Choir or Crew, or from the FCC front office!!

Christmas. Just the word conjures up all kinds of im-ages and emotions for each of us. Most of us have be-come so familiar with the story of Joseph and Mary and baby Jesus that there isn’t much mystery left in it for us. You and I both know that almost everyone in America knows the Christmas story. We know it so well that most of us probably yawn through the re-telling… angels, shepherds, wise men… blah, blah, blah. Do something different this year. Smell the barn. I’m serious. Hear the cow chew-ing its cud. No kidding. Get right in the place where Je-sus was born. Put yourself in the story [this is actually an ancient Benedictine practice of scripture study]. Close your eyes and walk the streets of Bethlehem filled with families coming from near and far for the census. Smell the dust, sense the heat of the crowds, listen to

the shouts of the vendors as they try to earn another dol-lar. And look out where you’re stepping, ‘cause there’s donkey “apples” all over the place! As you walk the narrow crowded streets, look for the key players. There’s the inn keeper who just booked his last room and turns away a pregnant teen and her lanky boyfriend. He probably did-n’t want them in his estab-lishment anyway. Notice her swollen belly as she dis-mounts and tries to find a comfortable position. Maybe she grimaces in pain as the first set of labor pains begin. Follow these two chosen ones to the cave where Jo-seph tried to make do. Watch him grab some clean straw for Mary to sit on while he tidied up as best he could. Notice how he’s try-ing to fake being strong and in charge but the sweat beads on his forehead give away his anxiety about deliv-

ering a child… after-all he’s not a midwife. As you take in all the odious-ness of the scene, think to yourself, what was God up to then? Then take one more moment and ask, “What is God up to now?” You might find a new mystery in the answer that will bring new life into an old story. I know it did for me. Blessed to Be a Blessing, Pastor Tony P.S. Disa and I would like to wish each and every one of you a Merry Christmas.

Smell the Barn Pastor Tony Nelson

the odiousness of the

scene, think to

God up to then?’”

NEW

Treasurer’s Report

If I make a contribution in

early January 2019, can I

claim it on my 2009 taxes?

No, charitable contributions

must be claimed inn the year in

which they are delivered.

Example: Mary writes a check

to her church on December 31,

2009, and deposits it in the

church offering on January 1,

2010. Her check is not deducti-

ble on her 2010 tax return.

If I mail my contribution in

December 2009, but it does-

n’t reach my church until

January, 2010, for which

year should I claim it? On

your 2009 tax return. A check

that is mailed to a charity is

deductible in the year the check

is mailed (and postmarked),

even if it is received early in the

year.

Example: Mary mails (and

postmarks) her check in Decem-

ber 2009. Her church doesn’t

receive the check until January

2010. The check is deductible

on Mary’s 2009 tax return.

I designated my contribu-

tion to the church benevo-

lence fund. Is it deductible?

That depends. “Designated

contributions” are those made to

a church for a specified purpose.

If the purpose is an approved

project or program of the

church, you can deduct the con-

tribution.

Example: Your $100 gift des-

ignation the church benevolence

fund is deductible. However, if

you designated that your contri-

bution be spent on an individual,

then no deduction is allowed—

unless the church exercises full

control over the donated funds.

Example: You donated $200 to

the church and instruct the

church treasurer to give the

$200 to a specified needy family

in the church. The contribution

is not tax deductible.

Contributions to a church mis-

sions agency that designate a

particular missionary may be

tax-deductible if the church or

missions agency exercises full

administrative and accounting

control over the contribution and

ensures they are spent in fur-

therance of the church’s mis-

sion.

Example: You donate $75 to a

denominational missions agency

and specify a particular mis-

sionary as the recipient. This

contribution is tax-deductible,

even though it names a mission-

ary, so long as the missions

agency has full administrative

and accounting control over the

funds.

What kind of records do I

need to prove I made a con-

tribution?

For individual cash contribu-

tions of $250 or more:

Cancelled checks cannot be

used to substantiate your gift.

You must receive a written re-

ceipt from your church that indi-

cates whether you received

goods or services for your con-

tributions (and if so, the value of

the goods or services received).

If you received no goods or

services for the contributions,

than the receipt must say so or

indicate that only “intangible

religious benefits” were re-

ceived. If you’ve made individual

contributions of $250 or more,

don’t file your federal income

tax return until you receive a

contribution statement from

your church that satisfies these

requirements. Otherwise, your

contributions may not be de-

ductible.

NOTE:

Church contribtuition tax

receipts will be mailed out

by January 15, 2010.

If you don’t you are precluded from deducting

the loss on your income tax return. In that

case, selling the stock first and donating the

proceeds is a better tax save.

Source: The Kipling Tax Letter

Donate appreciated stock the correct way:

If you have owned the shares for over a

year, you can deduct the full value without

paying tax on the appreciation. That’s a

win-win situation. But, don’t donate any

stock that has fallen in value.

PeaceMeal: Food for Thought on Biblical Peacemaking

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

IF, IF, IF...

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other... Ephesians 4:32

The best way to ruin a confession is to use words that shift the blame to others or that

appear to minimize or excuse your guilt. The most common way to do this is to say,

"I'm sorry if I've done something to upset you." The word if ruins this confession, be-

cause it implies that you do not know whether or not you did wrong. The message you

are communicating is this: "Obviously you're upset about something. I don't know that I

have done anything wrong, but just to get you off my back I'll give you a token apol-

ogy."

Adapted from The Peacemaker: A Biblical Guide to Resolving Personal Conflict

(http://www.kintera.org/TR.asp?a=kkI0KaPOLfKPKhL&s=8gLLK0NDKiLSLWNzEqH&m=ke

KJIQNuHdIVG)

by Ken Sande, Updated Edition (Grand Rapids, Baker Books, 2003) p. 127.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

How often does if show up in your confessions?

A great way to ruin your engine on your car? Never, ever change the oil. A sure-fire way

to ruin your credit rating? Never, ever pay your bills on time. What about ruining your

reputation at work? Never, ever keep your appointments. And the best way to ruin a

confession? Each and every time, use the word "if."

Ken reminds us of the power of this little two-letter word. Too many times, it leads to

an empty confession. All the words may be right and proper (I'm sorry), but the heart is

missing. And anything without a heart is usually dead, good for nothing. The word

"confess" means "to agree with" -- you're agreeing that you've done something wrong. If

you're not ready to agree, then don't confess. Because that ruins everything.
