From Pastor Chris

Wisdom for the New Year—Epiphanies from Star Wars, and from the Bright and Morning Star 1. "Do or do not... there is no try." -- Yoda 15I know your works; you are neither cold nor hot. I wish that you were either cold or hot. Rev. 3:15; 25Jesus said

to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live.” John 11:25

2. "Wars do not make one great." – Yoda 78By the tender mercy of our God, the dawn from on high will break upon us, 79to give light to those who sit in

darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace." Luke 1:78-79

3. "Luminous beings are we. Not this crude matter." -- Yoda

8For once you were darkness, but now in the Lord you are light. Live as children of light — 9for the fruit of

the light is found in all that is good and right and true. Ephesians 5:8

4. "Already know you that which you need." -- Yoda

More than that, I regard everything as loss because of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For

his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and I regard them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ. Phi-

lippians 3:8

5. "Impossible to see, the future is." -- Yoda 36But about that day and hour no one knows, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

Matthew 24:36; 18They are to do good, to be rich in good works, generous, and ready to share, 19thus storing up

for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of the life that really

is life. 1 Timothy 6:18-19

May the Force be with you!

the St Paul Church Office and from Brenda Rettig (419-217-

nations toward that cost are appreciated.

The purpose of the directory is to use it as a commu-

You will find several blank pages in your directory.

Our plan is to use these pages for new members/friends,

changes, corrections, etc. Watch for them in your monthly

newsletter. For now, please contact Brenda Rettig at 419-217

-6205 with any corrections that need to be made.

A special “thank you” to all those who assisted in any

way in creating this directory, especially Louise Saam for

pictures and much needed technical assistance, Karen Car-

penter for pictures, Louise Rogers and Anna Jean PovlicK for

members and friends information and to our husbands Jerry

in gathering information and taking pictures. We hope you

are pleased with the finished product.

Seminary Internship Update

Red Cross Blood Drive

St. Paul, Danbury

January 11th

Sign up online for an appointment.

www.redcross.org/blood

Our internship committee submitted an application to Trinity Seminary in November to be an internship site, beginning in the fall of 2016. Pastor Chris was interviewed online by the Director of Contextual Education on December 8th, and received an invitation on December 17th to be 1 of 21 supervisors at a 3 day retreat with 19 internship candidates, to be held at the end of January. There are 5 one year candidates from the old system, and the rest are 2 year internship candidates. The seminary understands that we would need financial assistance for a 2 year candidate. We should know by the beginning of March if the seminary believes there is a good match for us.

As 2015 draws to a close, so does my time as time as President St. Paul church council. We are truly blessed with the leadership of Pastor Chris as she has demonstrated a passionate and tireless force within our community. However I feel compelled to advise that our Pastor is in need of help – more so she is in need of time to recharge her batteries – physical, spiritual and emotional. Council is attempting to identify tasks which are preventing her from taking off two consecutive days during the week – we see this as a very important first step. But we need to start this process with baby steps – as such please be aware that Fridays are the pastors scheduled day off. And while genuine emergencies know all days of the week, please limit the need to contact her on that day to emergencies. As this time of year is prone to do, I am reflective. When I first joined council more than a decade ago, we were being led by an interim pastor. We were struggling financially. My introduction to the council was being informed by the Council President that we needed to be prepared to close the doors. The finances were not pretty, we had unpaid bills, a general fund balance of around $5,000 and a council trying to not only find direction for the church but resources for the business side of the church. In the years preceding this, we had, on occasion needed to borrow money to meet budget. But, as I am often reminded God presents himself, if you just take the time to stop and listen. I have been afforded this op-portunities during these past years. There are moments that strike you, that speak to the resilience and hope of life. God is truly all around us, especially evidenced for those of us lucky enough to call this place home. It does not take great effort to see how all things are intertwined to create a tapestry of life for us on Earth. It has been my great fortune to lead this church council, the business side of our church. Just twelve or so years later we find ourselves with a stable general fund (about three months of planned expenses in reserve), no outstanding bills, more church em-ployees, more programs and we have been very blessed with the endowment to our church and for its future. The topic of the Heritage fund has been raised this past year. As most of you may recall we established this fund in 2011. We invested the majority of the money and made that fund “restricted”. The remainder was placed into a liquid fund and we have used that money as the need has warranted. As an aside, a request for funds can be made to the church council. But we will be put-ting together a submission form for requests in the near future. This is not a call to spend the cash reserve, but if a need exists and the Council and Congregation agree, we could allocate some monies. A second item regarding the Heritage fund was discussed this past year in council – how much money is enough in the Her-itage fund? This is a topic that lends itself back to the desire to potentially spend some of the money. There are some in the church that believe that money should be spent as needs arise. However the feeling of the Council (and as supported by the Congregation) when the fund was created was to create a rainy day fund for this church. This by definition means you put the money away and use when specific criteria dictates – generally catastrophic events. Coming from my personal history of seeing this church so close to closing its doors, one can understand that my position is to leave the fund alone to grow indefinitely. To me the realism that one day this church has more than a seven figure cash value endowment insures our long term ability to meet this church’s big picture mis-sion, independent of whatever mission goals that may present themselves in the interim. There is a pragmatic different opinion which has been presented and one with which I could support. It was discussed that we could build the fund to a level near $400,000 (as a discussion point) at which point we would split the fund. $200,000 would go to the mission and $200,000 would remain in the Heritage fund. After this split the Heritage fund would be left alone and allowed to grow without interference indefinitely.

During the Middle Ages European towns would contract builders to create great cathedrals. These were generational pro-jects, the initial planners and even most of the builders would never see the finished product. I look at the Heritage fund this way – this is our gift to this future church and insures that St. Paul will exist long after those of us making these decisions are gone.

Our newer members are likely unaware of the problems this church encountered and the wounds that it had to recover from. This congregation was able to come back from the pain, hurt and anger that resulted from betrayed trust. For many years we floundered with a mix of distrust and hurt. We existed but were not growing. We needed to heal and then we needed to stop being sorry for ourselves. We found our new direction with Pastor Chris and the environment and attitude that now fills this place. We again have a Christ filled mission and purpose and a focus on a bright future.

Reflecting on my time as president there is only one conclusion - what can’t we accomplish, if we focus our talents and en-ergies on the problems at hand? This Congregation has empowered the church and council to accomplish all that we have these past few years. I am most appreciative of the support from my fellow council members, Pastor Chris, the congregation, friends and family during my tenure. It has been my honor and privilege to have served you in this capacity and I remain humbled by the kind words offered to me by you. To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:” Now it is the time for another voice to lead the council.

Yours in Christ, Tim Mackey, St. Paul Council President
