“Worshiping God together, Growing in Christ-like maturity, Reaching those unconnected to Jesus Christ and Impacting our community and the world.”

Dear Church Family,

We are in the midst of a sermon series in which we are focusing on growing closer to God. My hope is we are giving you good practical steps straight from the Bible. Essentially, in order to draw closer to God, you must be more like Christ. I believe we can do this through vigorous training. The Bible offers a variety of ways in which we can train. Over the last several Sunday mornings, we have highlighted some of these as we have talked about reading Scripture, worshiping God in our everyday lives, and serving God and the church through the gifts He gives to us.

One area in which we truly struggle is the area of money. I know there are some that would be very happy if we never mentioned finances in the life of the church. Did you know, however, that Jesus talked of money more than any other subject except the Kingdom of God? In these uncertain economic times, it is easy to feel overwhelmed or uneasy. It’s easy to fall into the trap of worshiping the almighty dollar. That’s why it is so important we do talk about money.

Back in high school, I had a friend whose parents were very active in our Presbyterian Church. Once, I remember them sharing with me their philosophy on giving. They believed that since they gave so much of their time (one was an Elder and the other was very active in the choir), they didn’t need to give monetarily. Essentially, they compartmentalized their giving. Their reasoning made sense at the time. Some folks, after all, do give more of their time than others. Before too long I began to wonder what happens in the months when the time you give is limited. Because their giving was proportionate to different aspects of their lives, how did they balance it? Did they make up for those “inactive” months by cutting a check or did they make up for it by doubling the time they spent at church the next month? We make things so complicated, don’t we?

Richard Foster in “The Challenge of the Disciplined Life” argues that the call to discipleship in money is not one of complexity, but one of simplicity:

“The issue of money would be much easier to deal with if it were all bad. Our task then would be to denounce it and withdraw from it. That, however, is the one thing we cannot do if we want to be faithful to the biblical witness. Though the Bible gives repeated warnings about the dark side of money, it also contains a stream of teaching on the light side of money. In this tradition, money is seen as a blessing from God and, even more startling, as a means of enhancing our relationship with God” -Richard Foster, p.37.

Giving is not something you can compartmentalize, but rather something that encompasses every aspect of your being. We give, not because we feel we must put in the necessary hours required, but because we have joy and gratitude for the gift of Christ in our lives.

The Session and I want you to know that we know our church family is feeling the economic crunch of the country. As a result, we are doing our best to be good stewards of what God is providing to the Church through your giving. We have made commitments to cut our administrative costs through the rest of 2009. Some of what is done through paid staff could and is being accomplished through volunteer service. If we continue to strive to become a missional church, we need to recognize that every person has gifts they can utilize to further the mission and ministry of this church!

We do not want to hinder the mission of the First Presbyterian Church, but at the same time, we know families are suffering. As we continue in 2009, let me encourage you to think of ways in which you can give of, not just your finances, but also your gifts, time, and energy. Two questions to ponder as you seek to give back to God: For what are you thankful to God in your life? How can you respond to Him, who blesses us so abundantly?

In the grip of grace,

Pastor Jack

“Building Relationships that change lives by connecting the community to Christ”

Group Life

Experiencing group life away from

daily interruptions… On a whim, my small group decided to go to the Oregon Coast over

Memorial weekend. What a time we had! We laughed, cried, ate, played on the beach, walked and walked,

shared lots of stories, sang, prayed and just thoroughly enjoyed each other! This time together was such a bless-ing – time to get to know each other better, time to pray for one another, time to just be goofy. How awesome that God gives us exactly what we need when we need it. The

weekend away was hope for rest and time to focus on Christ.

Matthew 18:20 says, “For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”

God met us right where we were. He showered us in the beauty of the Oregon Coast.

Thank you, Jesus!

This is who God has called us to be…

People who create environments where authentic community can take place. Building relational, transforming communi-ties where people are experiencing oneness with God and oneness with one another. Communities that are so satisfying, so unique, and so compelling that they create thirst in a watching world.

“Are you interested in forming a couples small group focused on serving others?” Call Judy or Shan to get something going.

NEW SMALL GROUP FORMINGThe Fellowship Ministry Team is looking for folks who have special in-

terests in activities (i.e. fishing, jogging, quilting, golf, etc.) that they are willing to share with others. One person who stepped forward is Rondi

Downs who is launching a “Book Club” for women. If you are interested in joining, please call her at 453-2263.

Tyler Van HornDirector of Student Ministries

Young people are naturally hungry for real life, and our culture feeds them the lie that real life is found in instant self-gratification. In Student Ministry we are feeding young people with the life, teachings, and ways of Jesus, trusting that real life is found in sacrificial love.

Think about a place where children would have so much fun learning about how awesome God is that they wouldn’t want to miss a single week. That is the kind of place we want this church to be for children.

Within Children’s Ministries we are dedicated to making sure each and every child knows that they matter to God.

Karin SkoneAssistant Director of Student Ministries

Kathy EatonDirector of Children’s Ministries

Student Ministries is a place for young people to grow in their relationship with God, other students and adult leaders. We strive to create environments where students can discover their identity in Christ and what it means to live that out in their world.

Celebrating 25 years of Preschool Here at First Presbyterian Christian Preschool

This fall as begin our 2009-10 school year we will be celebrating 25 years of serving this church and community as an outreach ministry. This missional program reaches many in our community, many who attend other churches and many with no church home at all. We have seen many families who come to this preschool coming and joining our family here at First Presbyterian.How can you help us with our mission of Spreading God’s Word by reach-ing, promoting, supporting and influencing children, their families and the community? Our scholarship program needs your help now more than ever. We estimate that we will need at least $5000 in our scholarship budget to meet the needs of the families this next year. Our desire is to never turn down anyone who cannot come to this preschool because of the cost. We ask families to pay a portion of the tuition and to give volunteer hours in response to receiving this gift. Please prayer-fully consider giving to this scholarship fund. If you have any questions please contact Rhonda Cardona at 248-7940, ext. 119. Thank you and God Bless You!

As I was working outside the other day, I heard my four year old neighbor girl playing to an imaginary audience. As the Master of Ceremony, she was thoroughly enjoying introducing her audience to spectacular entertainment and fearless feats of wonder. I was drawn into her tiny voice and the confidence she maintained. That is how I want to proclaim the healing power of Jesus Christ, with confidence and boldness. In Philippians 4:12, Peter declares the painful truth.“I know what it is to be in need.” We have all been in need, are in need or will be in need at some point in this life, right beside those around us. Those needs may include physical, emotional, spiritual, or mental pain. Death, job loss, addictions, divorce, depression, abuse, anxiety, broken relationships cause so much pain! Peter goes on to declare the hope and courage knowing that we do not have to figure it out ourselves or rely on our own power, and declares the joyous truth that “I can do everything through him who gives me strength.” Jesus Christ wants to give us strength, hope and healing! Peter also thanks the Philippians for ‘sharing in his troubles’. How many of us think we are alone when we are in pain? That there is no one to talk to or who would understand? Jesus wants to hear from you. He understands your pain. He wants us to have a support system. We were not created to live this life alone.Careforce Lifekeys is celebrating six years helping people under-stand themselves and others, experience living life better, build healthy relationships with others and most importantly grow in their relationship with Jesus. If you are in need of support and would like more information on available programs and schedule, please check out the brochures on the kiosk next to the connection center or con-tact Kandy Ingersoll. Would you like to share your heart for others, Careforce Lifekeys is a powerful ministry sharing Christ’s love.

I long to see Hispanic people worshiping God, feasting with Him through growth in Christ, reaching out to those who are lost in the Latino community and discovering with them a fore-taste of heaven.

Cristo Vive Women’s Small Group & RetreatKnow any Hispanic women who could benefit from inner healing and intimacy with God? Talk to Cande Álvarez, who is putting together a retreat to be held later this summer. In the mean time, they can join Cande in a women’s small group to build

relationships and get to know more about God’s beauty brush stroke present in every woman. Want to help Cande in one of her small group meetings? She could translate your teachings

and insights? No Spanish? ¡No hay problema!

Celebrating with Ana Lucas-GarcíaWe rejoice with Ana as she finished her CLP training at

Whitworth University back in June. This nine month Commission Lay Pastor program has equipped Ana to serve Christ better in Cristo Vive and here at First Pres. This is one step in her on going desire to learn more about God and to be prepared to

guide others in their Christian journey. Way to go Ana!

BeginningsBirthplace: I was born and raised in Eugene, Oregon. My family moved to the Seattle area during my senior year of high school. I was thrilled by the move and I fell in love with Seattle while attending Seattle Pacific University. Seattle is also where I met my husband Bill.

Age you accepted Christ? I asked Jesus into my heart at six years of age, kneeling at the foot of my bed with my mother.

How did you meet Christ? I was a Christian since childhood but Christ become everything to me – when I was about to turn 30. I was a new mother and had left my career behind to be a stay at home mom. It was also at this time that we had moved to Yakima. It was during this major time of transition that I realized my true need for Christ as my savior and redeemer. I was unable to be all that I wanted and needed to be in my own strength – and that is when I truly surrendered my life to Him. The rest of the story is still being written!

What drew you to First Presbyterian? With out a doubt it was Gods direction and leading that brought us to First Pres. I was look-ing for a MOPS group and through a series of perfectly timed God moments, ended up connecting with the women of First Pres who were starting a MOPS group here at First Pres. That is what drew me here, the amazing community and fellowship of this church body is why we have stayed and made it our church home for over 10 years.

What are your hopes for this particular body of Christ? I believe we are on the verge of exploding with the Power of Jesus Christ working in the lives of His people here at First Pres. He is so clearly moving in unbelievable ways all around us. I just feel like I get to be a part of His great purpose being fulfilled right here at First Pres Yakima.

What is God currently teaching you? That His power is in His people. That’s you and me. Wow! He is teaching me that if we as His people access this power we can do miraculous things. Not because of us but because of His power. I have re-cently been thinking about the people who built our beautiful church building dur-ing a similar economic time as we are facing now. These people acted on faith that God would provide a way to use their sacrifices to do something amazing. When you look at the beauty of this magnificent structure you know they weren’t scrimp-ing and holding back doubting that God would provide. They went for it believing God was going to do something amazing! He certainly did and I look forward to seeing what miracles we will see in our day as we give sacrificially of our time and money to see on earth as it is in Heaven!

SUPERHEROAbout Our New LogoFirst Presbyterian Church of Yakima is not defined by our building, but rather by the relationships we have with God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) and one another. As a church we are committed to our missional calling of being Inwardly Strong and Outwardly Focused. We believe this entails growing in our relationships with God (inwardly strong) and others (out-wardly focused). In the words of Jesus, we seek to live out this calling as we love God with all our heart, and with all our soul, and with our mind and love our neighbors as ourselves. (Matt 22:37-39).

We are a family of faith. Like all families, we are a comprised of individu-als, each with unique gifts, questions, and passions brought together by God to learn and experience life together. Every one of us in this family is on a journey. While we believe this journey ultimately leads to a closer relationship with God and one another, each of us is at a different place in the journey.

Our new logo incorporates the cross which is central for Christian faith. The subtle circle symbolizes our rose stained glass windows as they tell the story of God’s eternal love from the Bible. The open door emphasizes the journey we are on and our mission to open that door for others, leading them to the cross of Jesus Christ.

The new logo takes seriously our mission to:

Worship God – Christian faith begins with the understanding that God made, loves, and came to rescue and restore us in Jesus and by the power of the Holy Spirit. Our response to God is to express our thanks for all He has done for us, for who He is, and to worship Him as God.

Grow into Christ-like maturity – Getting to know God is a process. We meet together to study, listen, and learn. As we get to know who Jesus is and what He has done for us, we humbly begin to reflect the heart and priorities of Jesus in our lives and relationships. In growing closer to Him, our desire to learn and follow Him grows as well.

Reach those in our neighborhoods who are unconnected to Jesus – As we worship and grow we will develop a genuine love for others around us. In response to that love, we want to help connect a lost and hurting world to the love and hope of Jesus.

Impact our community and world - Actions are just as important as words. We are called by God to live out what we believe in very tangible ways to our neighbors across the street, the neighborhood surrounding our church, wherever we work or study, throughout the valley, and across the world.

We are on a journey together: loving God through worshiping and growing and loving our neighbors through reaching and impacting.
