PerspectivesDear High Streeters:

Having attended the Ball State vs. Indiana

football game on September 10, I was

fascinated by our local paper’s take on that

game. The headlines and much of the

article pertained to Ball State’s “self-inflicted

wounds.” Ball State did lose two fumbles

and did throw an interception.

I decided I would get on an Indiana website

to see what IU’s perspective was on those

three turnovers. That website celebrated

three “take-aways” by the Indiana defense.

On that website you could read who

tackled the ball carrier to cause the first

fumble, who poked the ball out of the

runner’s hands for the second fumble, and

who intercepted the pass.

Self-inflicted wounds or take-aways, which

were they? Well, they were both. From Ball

State’s perspective, they have to know they

will face other opponents who will tackle,

who will try to poke the ball away, and who

will attempt interceptions. If you are the Ball

State offense, you need to do all you can to

prevent those things happening in future

games. From the Indiana perspective, you

want your defense to continue to tackle,

poke at the ball, and intercept passes. It’s

all a matter of perspective and the mindset

one needs to have.

Neither perspective is unfaithful to the facts.

There were two fumbles lost by Ball State to

Indiana. There was an interception of a Ball

State pass by an IU defender.

Especially during this election season, we

are very aware of differences in

perspective. What I lament are the

distortions and the lies that are

promulgated. It’s a sad commentary when

we keep fact-checkers busy during an

election season. But then, there are people

in ordinary life who are more than happy to

spread rumors that could not stand up to a

sound fact-checking. I guess it’s an

unfortunate part of life.

But we who follow Jesus Christ are called to

a higher standard. Paul tells us to “let the

same mind be in you that was in Christ

Jesus. [Phil. 2:5] Later in that same letter

Paul writes: “. . . beloved, whatever is true,

whatever is humble, whatever is just,

whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing,

whatever is commendable, if there is any

excellence and if there is anything worthy of

praise, think about these things. [4:8] People

of this mindset do not require being fact-

checked. People of this mindset filter what

they say, what they write, and even what

they post on Facebook.

They may well offer different perspectives.

Christ has called a variety of people with a

diversity of life experiences. It’s because of

those different perspectives that we can

learn from each other and grow together in

Christ.

Yours in Christ,

Pastor Dale

Angels on High Preschool

Angels on High Preschool and PDO is off to a

great start! We are all thankful for a successful

transition to this new school year!

Enrollment and Changes

We are thrilled to start off the new school year in

both the preschool and PDO. It is going to a full

house each day and we couldn’t be more

excited! This is a testimony to the type of

ministry we have at Angels on High Preschool.

September Recap

This last month, our students transitioned in to

their classes and learned all of the new routines.

We have come so far in just one month! Some

of our students ventured on fun field trips. Our 4-

5 Year Old Class ventured to Minnnetrista

Cultural Center to learn about Johnny

Appleseed. Our 3-4 Year Old Class went to

Jacobs’ Orchard and enjoyed apple donuts and

slushies. We also enjoyed our very first chapel

service. It is always a blessing to listen to the

preschool children as they praise God with their

songs, and to witness their learning about

Jesus. A special thank you to Pastor Sherrie for

providing the bible story during the chapel. The

HSUMC congregation and preschool families

are always invited to our chapels, so please feel

free to join us!

October News

We have much to look forward to in October! We

will celebrate the fall season with our fall parties,

along with fall related field trips. The 4 Year Old

Classes were able to learn all about pumpkins

and will visit a pumpkin patch to grab a pumpkin

of their very own, do a corn maze and a few

other fun activities. Our 3 Year Old Classes get

to explore the library and also read a fun story

about pumpkins. The Transition Class will also

make a trip to Jacobs’ Orchard, which is always

a great time!

Our annual Preschool Sunday, and Open House

will be on Sunday, October 23. We hope the

congregation will join us on this special day! We

are also doing and fundraising dinner at Chili’s in

Muncie starting that day through November 23.

Fall Fundraiser

Another big part of our preschool this month is

our fall fundraisers. The proceeds form our fall

fundraisers benefit the scholarship account and

offset costs of new supplies, etc. During

October, our preschool will be taking orders for

flavor coated pretzels from Concannon’s.

Concannon’s flavor-coated pretzels and popcorn

are manufactured and packaged fresh in plastic

domes.

These delicious treats are great for upcoming

holiday gatherings, as well as gifts! Each

package is sold for $6.00. The order form for

these delicious treats is available in the church

office. You can place an order by completing the

order form and returning it to Lindsay Dodd

(mailbox in the front office) or you can email

your order to Lindsay Dodd at

[email protected] . Orders for

the Concannon pretzels and popcorn taken until

Monday, October 31. We hope you will consider

purchasing some goodies while supporting a

great cause! Thanks in advance.

Angels on High Preschool is YOUR ministry!

As our preschool and PDO continues to grow,

so do our needs of consumable supplies. Please

look in the Helping Hands baskets to see what

items are needed. Right now, our biggest needs

are packaged snacks and copy paper. We thank

you in advance for your donations.

Also, we have seen a much greater need for

scholarships from the families in our community.

It is hard for many families and we want to be

able to continue our ministry to all families.

Would you consider donating to our scholarship

account? Here are some ways your financial

donations could specifically help our preschool

• Donation of $10.00 would cover the cost of a

preschool bag and shirt.

would cover 1 months tuition for a 4-5 Year

Volunteers are always welcome in our

preschool! There are many ways you can help!

Angels on High is YOUR ministry! We hope

your prayerfully consider helping Angels on

High Preschool through monetary donations,

donation of supplies, or donating your time.

Thank you for all of your support!

Children Ministries

At the beginning of September, our Promiseland Sunday School (grades K-5th) was able to provide a new way for our kids to learn the bible story through various experiential lessons and hands-on-learning. This was a request made by our High Street families during our Fruit Congregation Journey. To make this happen, there have been many moving parts and lots of Grace! The first step was forming a task group within the Children's Area Work Team, which worked to review curriculum for two small classes during Sunday School. The C.A.W.T then began ideaing for this type of division in our children's Sunday School. We were busy at work in the first few months of 2016 ideaing, reviewing, and praying for God to guide our hearts, ideas, and how to best help our children grow in Christ. Over the summer, our curriculum provider published a new types of lessons called "Rotation Stations" which include breaks-out lessons that vary from their original lessons. Our team began continued to pray and began asking God about who could help with these new lessons! Seven servant leaders stepped forward with a heart to be around our children and help them grow as disciples through lessons that explore Science, Bible Story/

Drama, and Jr. Discipleship (learning spiritual disciples). These new teachers will be teaching once a month with their lesson topics. Our faithful Promiseland teachers will continue to teach about God’s love and grace as well!

Our current children's Sunday School class meets from 9:45AM-10:45 AM on Sunday morning. Children into K-2nd and 3rd-5th grade will be divided for more age appropriate learning. The schedule on a Sunday morning looks like this:

9:45-9:50: Meet in Room 306/307 (Current

Promiseland Room)

9:55-10:15: K-2nd would visit a "Rotation

Station" in Room 302 (Current 8:30 AM

Children's Church room) while the 3rd-5th

Graders would stay in the other room to learn

the lesson of the day.

10:15-10:35: Classes switch

10:40-10:45: We would all gather back in the

main room (Promiseland Room) to discuss what

we learned and pray our way into our day.

On months with a 5th Sunday in 2016-2017, we

will be trying an inter-generational type of

mission project during our Youth and Children

Sunday Schools. Our last project in June, we

decorated Garden Stones for Habitat for

Humanity to give to families. Our next project

with children and youth is planned for October

30th. We will be working on a TOP SECRET

mission project for Children's Sabbath!

God is so good!! After 9 months of ideaing,

working, planning and praying- God has

provided.

**If you are interested in leading a rotation

station (cooking, games, missions, or anything

you can think of!), working in our Promiseland

room, or helping with our 5th Sunday Missions,

see Kasey Needham. We want our HSUMC

community to be able to share your life with our

Youth Ministries Books of the Bible

Youth Sunday School

Every Sunday, 9:45-10:45AM

Did you know that the Bible is a compilation

of Books and writers? Did you know there

are 66 chapters in the Bible?

Our youth Sunday School is getting ready to

tackle what the Bible is… why do we study

the Bible, what is each chapter about.

Sometimes the Bible itself can be rather

intimidating as it’s the size of a Harry Potter

or Hunger Games book! What’s inside is

special and a way God lights up our hearts

with his Word!

Our youth are passionate about serving

others in our church and in our community.

In fact, our Youth Council took the

opportunity to understand why we take part

in service and mission opportunities. Our

youth believe Jesus is calling us into mission!

Being in mission bring the Bible to life,

preach the Gospel through actions, and

open our eyes to the world around us!

Missions also allow us to grow together as a

community and build teamwork.

Over the next 3-4 months, we have different

ways we will be working in the church and in

the Muncie Community.

Attention Women of High Street!

Do you love helping others? Do you desire to be

the hands and feet of Christ while helping to

make a local family's dream of home ownership

come true? If the answer to these questions are

yes, I would love for you to join our Habitat for

Humanity Women Build team with me!

The date for our High Street group is Saturday,

October 22nd from 9am to 3pm, with lunch

included. Our team will consist of 15 members,

and each member is tasked with the goal of

helping to raise $3000 for the team build. We

are already halfway to that goal with funds from

our bucket offering earlier this year! Praise God!

Having personally experienced two Women

Build's in the past few years, I can tell you it is a

blessing to be a part of such an amazing,

tangible, Christ-based change for a local family.

No special construction talents are needed to

join the team, and no previous experience is

needed either. On site will be the local Habitat

construction director, and he will be more than

happy to guide us through each task of the day.

Only a giving heart, a willing spirit, and a desire

to make a difference are required.

Please contact me at home at 288-6812 or via

email at [email protected] if you would

like to join our team. I look forward to hearing

from you!
