From the Pastor

Leviticus 25: 8-13, 23, 35-43 (selections)

8 You shall count off seven weeks of years, seven times seven years, so that the period of seven

weeks of years gives forty-nine years. 9 Then you shall have the trumpet sounded loud; on the

tenth day of the seventh month—on the day of atonement—you shall have the trumpet sounded

throughout all your land. 10 And you shall hallow the fiftieth year and you shall proclaim liberty

throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you: you shall return, every one

of you, to your property and every one of you to your family. 11 That fiftieth year shall be a

jubilee for you: you shall not sow, or reap the aftergrowth, or harvest the unpruned vines.

12 For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy to you: you shall eat only what the field itself produces.

13 In this year of jubilee you shall return, every one of you, to your property.

23 The land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for the land is mine; with me you are but aliens and

tenants. 24 Throughout the land that you hold, you shall provide for the redemption of the land.

35 If any of your kin fall into difficulty and become dependent on you, you shall support them;

they shall live with you as though resident aliens. 36 Do not take interest in advance or

otherwise make a profit from them, but fear your God; let them live with you. 37 You shall not

lend them your money at interest taken in advance, or provide them food at a profit. 38 I am the

Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, to be

your God.

We don’t usually look into Leviticus very closely, but there is definitely some good stuff in

there. If our Constitution is something like the Hebrews’ Ten Commandments, then Leviticus is

something like our Bill of Rights. It is the way that the Hebrews learned from God that they were

to live out the Ten Commandments, and create a whole society as God’s people. They

extrapolate, expand, amend, and borrow from neighboring cultures, just as any society does.

Amazingly, there are still things in Leviticus that are challenging to us now, more than 2,500

years later.

For example, there is the understanding that the land does not belong to us at all. All of

our “property” is borrowed from God, and none of us are to accumulate too much of it. That is

why it is returned every 50 years to its original owners - so that no one would gather up so much

as to make others poor. Meanwhile, all over the world, 82% of new wealth is going to the top

1%, while the 3.7 Billion people in the bottom half of our economies have gained absolutely

nothing. This is true in the United States and elsewhere - worker productivity increases, and

efficiency increases, but the improvements only benefit a few who are able to accumulate

almost all of the wealth. And unlike in the Jubilee, that wealth is never returned.

Simply the idea that we do not own the world, that the land is not ours, remains a radical

one that most Americans are certainly far from accepting. But there it is, in a Bronze Age text

written by a “nation” of a few hundred thousand people who were perpetually at the mercy of

more powerful empires next door. It often strikes me how we, in 2019, have yet to attempt some

of the things that scripture describes. We are not so advanced as we might think.

We are not to profit off of the poor and those who are in need, according to Leviticus.

And yet payday loan centers, almost invariably in low-income neighborhoods, can charge

hundreds of percentage points on their loans, compounded weekly.

2. continued……

And if you have ever tried to find groceries in a poor neighborhood, you know that they are

often ‘food deserts’, where the closest thing to a local grocery store is a corner convenience

store where the prices are all higher than elsewhere. We exploit the poor as a matter of course,

and hardly bat an eye at it. It is an accepted part of our way of life, and we don’t correct it every

50 years, or at all.

Yes, I do want you to take time to reflect on how we exploit the land and the poor, in

contrast to what our ancestors in faith had figured out over two thousand years ago; I also invite

you into a personal reflection. Those of you who were there for my sermon series might recall

me talking about the Jubilee, described in Leviticus 25:8-13 above, is like a ‘hard reboot’ of the

whole economy. It is like turning our way of life off and back on again, the way tech support

often tells us to try with our technological devices. I wonder what it would look like for us to take

this as a personal challenge - what if we turned our everyday life off and then on again? What if

we rebooted?

What would we let go of and what would we keep? If we took a moment to drop

everything, and then made a conscious decision of what to pick up again, are there things we

would let go of? Imagine that, say, on January 1st we emptied out our life. Put everything down,

crossed everything off in our calendar, deleted our phone contacts and social media accounts,

etc. Now, what would we truly want back? What would we truly miss?

I think that our lives pick up debris over time that we end up carrying around for no good

reason. It can be very hard to get rid of the debris because it all just gets lumped together - we

think of it all as equally part of our life, just as the Hebrews thought of cultivating the land and

owning slaves and accumulating property and holding onto debts as part of their way of life.

Jubilee commanded them to put all of that down and start over.

If we started over, what would our life look like?

Because we can start over, as scary as that sounds. That doesn’t mean giving up

everything and starting again with nothing, but it does mean putting everything down and then

deciding whether we are going to pick it up again. When we all take that post-Christmas deep

breath, after what is often a frenetic holiday, I invite you to consider what it is you would take up

into your life, and what it would be like to put everything else down.

Deacons’ Dialogue

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and happy and safe winter to you all! May you

be blessed with the love of God through the celebration of the miracle of Christ’s

birth this holiday season…and may we all keep this foremost in our hearts as the

craziness of all our preparations seems to take over our lives.

Now on to some memories. Do you recall when our prayer chain began?

Jeanne Blackburn (retiring prayer chain coordinator) and I were reminiscing and we

don’t recall exactly when it began but we both remember it was a phone chain.

Phone chain? Some of you, born and bred into this age of technology, may not even

know what a phone chain is! Just in case: There was a coordinator with 5 or 6

group leaders or captains. Each of these leaders had 5 or 6 people under them.

When a prayer request was called in to the coordinator (no texts or emails!), the

coordinator called each of the leaders who in turn called the folks in their groups.

We were not to leave messages (if people even had answering machines!); the idea

was to pass the request along by speaking to the person, and maybe even offering

a prayer together. And do you know what all this calling promoted?

Conversations and growth of relationships among the people on the prayer chain,

and sometimes even ideas of how to help the folks on the prayer chain!

By today’s standards, it was a unique time of interaction that promoted our faith

journeys and friendships.

If any of you out there have recollections of the phone prayer chain…when it

began, when it switched to email, relationships built, etc., please call or email me

and I will put them in the next Deacon’s Dialogue. (bkepler@aol.com)

In the meantime, we all should take the time to call, email or text Jeanne to

thank her for her many years, serving as the coordinator of the FPCP prayer chain!

It has been a wonderful journey to watch the chain develop and grow over the

years with Jeanne, and others whose names we had trouble remembering, at the

helm. Thanks, Jeanne, and God bless you!

Notes from

Worship and Music

Now is the time that we all have many things going on that take up our

time. Be sure to schedule yourself for several things to take up your

time that are offered by your church. One of the easiest is to schedule

yourself to be in church every Sunday of Advent and Christmas Eve.

The rest of the opportunities provided by your church are as follows:

Saturday, November 30 from 9:30 AM to noon – everyone is invited to help decorate the

sanctuary and the rest of the church. Everyone, no matter what age, can help and even if you can

stay for only a few minutes, it is a help.

Sunday, December 1, the first Sunday of Advent, be sure to come to church to get your Advent

booklet (home grown) that will help you understand the various meanings of Advent and

Christmas. There will be a special treat for everyone who is at church. If you don’t already have

a tree ornament from previous years, feel free to bring a tree ornament with your family name

attached, to add to our sanctuary tree.

Sundays, December 8, 15 and 22 are the other Sundays in Advent, we sure hope to see you there.

Christmas Eve will offer a service at 5 PM for kids and families, and anyone else who wants to

attend. This service will have our Praise Team adding to the service. The traditional Christmas

Eve service, with Communion, will be at 9 PM. Our choir will help lead this service.

Don’t worry, we will not let you down on the following Sunday, December 29 because all those

Sundays in Advent you will have had an opportunity to let us know what carols you would like

to sing at our Carol sing service. So, remember to submit your suggestions and then come out to

sing along and worship.

Sunday, January 5, 2020 will be the first Communion and worship service of the new year.

What a wonderful way to start the year.

Sunday, January 12, your help would be appreciated after the service so we can un-decorate.

What goes up must come down. Many hands make light work. Shall I go on…..?

See you in church

Opportunities

Alternative Gift Cards and Pins

An Alternative Gift Card shows someone you are thinking of them and you are also contributing

to organizations who provide much needed help in times of need. The cards/ pins make the

perfect Christmas greeting with a message, stocking stuffer, gift tag, teaching about caring, and a

meaningful gift that makes a big difference in a life. Think of relatives, friends, teachers, clients,

and others you wish to remember during the holiday season. This year the cards/ pins will

benefit:

-The Clinic, Phoenixville (gift tags/ pins also available)

-Orion Communities, Phoenixville

-Church World Service Blankets

-Living Waters for the World

-The Donkey Mobile Library for Ethiopian Children (Alternative Gifts International).

The cards and pins are $5 each and can be purchased in the narthex after church services or in

the office during the week. Thank you for thinking of others. This is a great way to honor those

who are important to you and those who have everything they need.

Christmas Dinner Baskets and Star Tree Once again, this year we will be helping those in need celebrate Christmas. Two ways to help

are: Christmas Dinner Baskets - fixings for Christmas Dinner - and Star Tree Gifts for children

who otherwise may not have much under their tree. Suggested item lists for family baskets and

stars available in the narthex. Unwrapped gifts, with the star attached, and food baskets are due

back by Sunday, December 8, 2019. Thank you for helping make Christmas Merry for these

families! Jewell Baker & Becky Sinapius for the MAC Committee

In Appreciation

Fall/ Winter Clothing and Coat Distribution

On Saturday, October 26, 2019, 128 Phoenixville friends and neighbors visited to choose coats,

gloves, hats, boots and other warm gear for themselves and family members.

Many thanks to the 12 volunteers who gave countless hours during set-up and on the day of the

event, making this endeavor possible. Thanks also to all who sorted and washed items, and all

who provided donations.

A note of thanks was conveyed by a woman who took the time to call the church office

following the coat and clothing distribution. She found a winter coat and better clothing. She

had been seeking employment for 2 years and attributed her landing a job to the nice clothing she

found at the giveaway!

Toiletries for Shelters FPC's Children & Families group met on Saturday November 16, 2019 to assemble hygiene kits

for the homeless. Over 100 hygiene kits that included shampoo, soap, toothbrushes and

toothpaste, razors, washcloths, socks, and miscellaneous available items were assembled.

6. continued……

Most of the items were donated to People to People. The children wrote and decorated notes of

support and encouragement for the recipients. Thank you to Sandy Heidel for coordinating this

program, to the families that assembled the kits, and to the congregation for donations to People

to People.

Notes from Near and Far

Kuwadzana Presbyterian Church

FPC has for many years supported the Kuwadzana Presbyterian Church in Zimbabwe. Our

contribution is used to purchase food for a feeding program. Included in this ministry is a pre-

school, and our gift also provides food for the pre-school children. Zimbabwe is currently facing

many shortages and economic hardships. The pastor of the Kuwadzana Presbyterian Church

reports that ordinary people cannot afford to get basic food items such as maize meal, bread and

cooking oil. Travel to South Africa or Mozambique is required in order to get affordable goods.

Recently, we learned also of a critical need for a solar installation due to electrical power only

being available 2 or 3 hours every day (often in the middle of the night). The well that supplies

water to the church complex, including the pre-school, requires electricity to pump the water.

The church decided to work towards installing a solar power system, a reliable source of energy

in Zimbabwe.

On behalf of the congregation, MAC elected to send $1000 to the pastor at Kuwadzana

Presbyterian Church to support the solar installation.

Many people have been involved in FUNdraising activities throughout the past year. Stewardship committee wants to thank all those who have participated in the Dine Around Phoenixville eating events, those who bought Scrip cards for purchases of groceries, hardware (Lowe’s & HD), gas, air travel, restaurants, etc. If you spent several hours on a Friday night or Saturday collecting money and meeting people while attending our parking lot during borough activities, then this THANK YOU goes out to you too! These activities have resulted in thousands of dollars that the committee can contribute to our church for expenses. If you did not participate, please think about joining 1 or all of these events in 2020. A special thank you needs to be extended to Sandy and Chuck Heidel for their extraordinary efforts with the parking lot coordination and to Lynne Williams and Doug Walker for all their work

with the Scrip cards.

Let us help you with your Christmas Shopping

Orders for gift cards will be received through December 15

to have them in time for Christmas gifting or shopping.

There are lists of retailers (over 700 retailers) and order

forms available in the narthex and in the office.

Orders may be dropped off in the office anytime.

Know that a percentage of what you spend will benefit our church. If you have questions, please

contact Lynne Williams (610-415-1581 H) or (610-955-4749 C).

We look forward to sharing these special times with you!

The Parish Life Committee meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 7PM in the

Parlor…Please join us!

COMING SOON - ‘Dinner for 8’ gatherings in January, February and March. These mini-dinner

parties give us an opportunity to get to know new congregants, and reconnect with old friends.

Look for the sign-up sheets in the narthex and the church office.

What exactly is Dinner for Eight?

Dinner for Eight is a social gathering of approx. 8 people (sometimes 6 or 10) from the

congregation. Some folks you may know quite well and some you may have just met. The

dinners will take place on the second Saturday night of the months of January, February and

March. This year that will be 1/11, 2/8, and 3/14. If for some reason there is a conflict with the

date your small group should feel free to switch nights.

We are looking for people to volunteer to host. You might be asking what does it mean to host.

If you host you provide the house, a plate with silverware, and chair for each person as well as

the main course. The other members of the dinner party each provide a salad, a dessert, an

appetizer or bread to complete the meal. Another option would be for your group of 8 to meet

at a local restaurant, with each person picking up their own tab.

You might be asking “Can I bring my kids?” Yes, just check with your host. In the past we have

had groups which are specifically children friendly so a group might consist of 6 adults and 4

children. Or use this as an excuse to get a babysitter and have a night out.

There is a sign-up sheet in the narthex as well as the office, so sign up by Sunday, December

22nd. Once we have the list we will organize the groups with the goal of you being with different

people each month.

If you can't make all three months indicate on the sign up that you want to be an alternate for the

other months. You will get plugged in if there is an opening or last min cancellation.

Any Question can be answered by members of the Parish Life Comm.

“Kaleidoscope of FPC”

2020 Pledge Campaign It is not too late to turn in your Pledge card for the coming year.

Completed cards may be placed in the offering plate on Sunday

mornings, dropped off in the office, or returned by mail.

There are pledge cards available in the pew racks and in the office.

The pledge of your financial support will enable the Finance

Committee to plan for 2020.

Did you know that recycled plastic bags can be turned

into colorful woven mats for homeless individuals? If

you are homeless and forced to sleep outdoors, bedtime

can mean the wet cement or damp earth. The sleeping

mat can provide a way to stay drier and have a cushioning

impact.

The Wednesday Night Women’s Fellowship, in

collaboration with “Integrate for Good” is about to

embark on a new project --- making sleeping mats.

We need your help as each mat requires 700 bags. Please bring your plastic bags to church and

place them in the bin in the narthex. We’ll take it from there. Thank you!

Sunday Liturgist? How would you like to be a part of the Sunday worship service?

Now is the time to sign up to be one of the liturgists. There are usually 12 liturgists on the roster

so you would be scheduled four, possibly five times a year to be the liturgist. If you are

interested, please contact Sue Smith in the office at secretaryfpc145@gmail.com .

Prayer Chain & Prayer Requests

You can fill out a card in the worship service, drop a note or email us

at secretaryfpc145@gmail.com and we will be lifting you up in

prayer.

You can also call Sue Smith in the church office at (610) 933-8816.
