Simple Answers - NOT!

con�nued next page

I am suspicious of simple answers. Frequently politicians, commenta-tors, and sales people tell us “If you do “X” then the problem is solved.” Life is rarely that easy. Life is not a game executed in a specified play-ing area for a given amount time or events - and then you go home. Only occasionally are the ques-tions and challenges we face in life straight forward and solved by a single simple action.

If “the problem” is that the car won’t run and the gas gauge needle is sitting on “E”, then there is most likely a one-step solution - put some gas in the tank. Virtually every other aspect of life is far more compli-cated, largely due to the interconnection of the varia-bles at play, and our poor understanding of the inter-related interactions of those variables.

In the above car problem, in most instances some gas will fix the issue. But, it could also be that the battery is dead, or that the battery is charged but a fuse is blown. The car could be low on fuel (but not “out”) and the real culprit is an ignition or fuel-injection system problem. Question simple solutions.

Simple solutions: ● You probably heard promises in 2008 and 2009 that we can fix the economy if we just do this or that. The economy has made a signifi-cant recovery since then (because a lot of different things were done; granted, one or two of the plethora of actions might have been “this” or “that”, but without the other actions “this” or “that” would have failed). ● Is the severity of recent hurricanes a result of global warming? Global warming probably has a part in this - as does other atmospher-ic and oceanic factors. ● Will purchasing an annuity guarantee you a safe and comfortable retirement?

So, my urging is that when you hear simple solutions being proclaimed, particularly to big problems, approach the proposal with a healthy skep-ticism. And that includes simple solutions from religious leaders - like me.

Rev. Scott Wipperman

con�nued from page 1

Christianity doesn’t offer simple solutions. For starters, we have Ten Commandments; not one. “But, wait a second. Jesus gave us the New Commandment: You should/must love one another as I have loved you!” OK, that is a single commandment or prescription or solution to being Christian - but since when is “loving one another” a simple ac-tion.

In “loving another” do I give them what they want? In some instances yes, and in other instances a big NO! Do I respect the other? Most definitely, for they too are one of God’s children. But “respecting” is not automatic response. When someone is vehemently disagreeing with us our first instinct is likely “defense” or “overcome”; it takes work and discipline for “respect” to be in the pole position. And so on, with the many other facets of “loving one another.”

We shouldn’t expect simple answers that require little work or sacrifice from Christ, God, or Christianity. We should engage in Christianity from a desire to form a closer relationship with God, not because it is going to be easy street, not because learning from Christ is going to confirm I am doing all things (or at least, most things) right.

Christ calls us to redraw our “maps” of how the world works according to his reality. “Redraw”, because we’ve fashioned our maps from our poor comprehension of what is real based to some extent upon what society tries to sell us as real. Our maps are faulty, leading us to the wrong destination time and time again. Christ wants us to have maps that lead us to life!

Erasing chunks of our maps is uncomfortable (we’ve grown attached to our map and don’t want to admit it contains misrepresentations). On top of that, drawing the new portion of the map takes work, it’s not a “cut and paste” type of operation. But, we buckle down, acknowledge our map’s fallibility, and redraw a part of our “how the world works” map improving upon what was there based on Christ’s revelations. We are proud of our improved map. And then we hear Jesus say some-thing else we hadn’t heard before, and we realize we have to redraw the redraw. I can assure you this will happen repeatedly. Sometimes to little pieces of the map, sometimes to major sections.

My map isn’t “right” either, it remains a work in progress. Also, I can’t redraw your map. What I try to do as your pastor is to lead us (you and me) to places that facilitate redrawing. To lead us to places of safety and support making it easier to recognize and acknowledge the falla-cies in our maps. To lead us to fertile grounds for comprehending what our map should be redrawn as. Places of support; places steeped in the wisdom of others’ understandings and insights; a safe place to

3

express doubts, confusion, frustration, and hurt; places of the light, love, grace and mercy of God.

So, don’t get comfortable with where we are. For we are always on a journey seeking out that next fertile place for growth in our relationship with God. Sometimes that place will be a nice glen, sometimes a hard climb up jagged rocks, at times walking across a hot desert with the sand blowing in our face, and other times every valley shall be filled in, every mountain and hill made low, the crooked roads shall become straight, and the rough ways smooth.

Peace, Pastor Scott

Gentle, low-impact exercise that’s easy, free and availa-ble to everyone - here’s why walking rocks.

Each Tuesday & Thursday, at 10:00 am in Centennial Park by the flag-pole next to the YMCA, a group from our church family ventures out into the fresh open air (now that there’s no forest fire smoke) to enjoy a time of exercise and fellowship as they walk along the park walking path. Come and join them if you’re looking for walking partnersNor even if you’re not, because EVERYONE is welcome to join and it’s FREE!!

1. Walking strengthens your heart

Reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke by walking regularly. It’s great cardio exercise, lowering levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol while in-creasing levels of HDL (good) cholesterol. The Stroke Association says that a brisk walk for 30-minutes every day helps to prevent and control the high blood pressure that causes strokes, reducing the risk by up to 27 percent.

2. Walking lowers disease risk

A regular walking habit slashes the risk of type 2 diabetes by around 60 percent, and you’re 20 percent less likely to develop cancer of the colon, breast or womb with an active hobby such as walking.

6

3. Walking helps you lose weight

You’ll burn around 75 calories simply by walking 2 mph for 30 minutes. Up your speed to 3 mph and it’s 99 calories, while 4 mph is 150 calories (equivalent to three Jaffa cakes and a jam doughnut!). Work that short walk into your routine and you’ll shed the pounds in no time.

4. Walking prevents dementia

Older people who walk six miles or more per week are more likely to avoid brain shrinkage and preserve memory as the years pass. Since dementia affects one in 14 people over 65 and one in six over 80, we reckon that’s a pretty great idea.

5. Walking tones up legs, bums, and tums

Give definition to calves, quads, and hamstrings while lifting your glutes (bum muscles) with a good, regular walk. Add hill walking into the mix and it’s even more effective. Pay attention to your posture and you’ll al-so tone your abs and waist.

6. Walking boosts vitamin D

We all need to get outside more. Many people in the UK are vitamin D deficient, affecting important things like bone health and our immune systems. Walking is the perfect way to enjoy the outdoors while getting your vitamin D fix.

7. Walking gives you energy

You’ll get more done with more energy, and a brisk walk is one of the best natural energizers around. It boosts circulation and increases oxy-gen supply to every cell in your body, helping you to feel more alert and alive. Try walking on your lunch break to achieve more in the afternoon.

8. Walking makes you happy

It’s true - exercise boosts your mood. Studies show that a brisk walk is just as effective as antidepressants in mild to moderate cases of depres-sion, releasing feel-good endorphins while reducing stress and anxiety. So for positive mental health, walking’s an absolute must.

For the Healing of the Nations

On either side of the river is the tree of life... and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. Revelation 22:2b

The Women of the Presbyterian Church, U.S.A. & of First Presby-terian Church, Helena, Montana are “ALL ABOUT MISSIONS”.

In February of 2017, a Committee of Presbyterian Women met to review applications submitted for grants from the 2016 Thank Of-fering. Fifteen of the projects were chosen for grants totaling $382,500. Ten of the projects are ministries that serve people in need in the United States & five of the projects are international. More than half of the funded projects are health ministries.

Presbyterian women have been making grants to creative minis-tries through the Thank Offering since 1888 when Eliza Clokey of Springfield, Ohio, urged each woman to give one dollar more than her usual contribution to the Women's General Missionary Socie-ty of the United Presbyterian Church in North America as a “thank offering to our Lord.” Women gave sacrificially & were credited with saving the worldwide missionary movement of the church at the time. Since then, Presbyterian women have granted support to thousands of ministries worldwide, & raised millions of dollars for mission. In addition to this mission work, Presbyterian women are part of the Fellowship of the Least Coin.

The Fellowship of the Least Coin (FLC) is a worldwide ecumeni-cal movement for peace & reconciliation. Through this movement, Christian women around the world meet & pray with each other & are reminded to live a reconciling & forgiving life with others. Though “least coins” are given with each prayer, it is not a fund-

raising project, but a movement of prayer, peace & reconciliation.

The idea for the Fellowship of the Least Coin came out of the ex-perience of Dr. Shanti Soloman of India when she, as a part of a Pacific Mission Team, was denied entry into Korea because Ko-rea had no diplomatic relations with India. Dr. Shannon suggest-ed that prayer could transcend every national boundary & chal-lenged the Christian women of Asia & of the Presbyterian Church

Women who love to sing are invited to rehearse and per-form with Helena's Xpress Singers for the holiday sea-

Presbyterian. Call Barb Leland, 431-5854, for more information.

of the U.S. to launch a project of Christian prayer & positive ac-tion in which every woman could participate, no matter her eco-nomic position. Every time she prayed she was to set aside a “least coin” of her currency. It was an encouragement to the women of the team to demonstrate their unity, in Christian faith regardless of their country or economic circumstances. They ac-cepted this challenge as a way to express their solidarity with suf-fering humanity & with women of every nation.

Sunday, October 8, 2017, is Mission Sunday. We will celebrate during the church service at First Presbyterian Church, Helena with the “Blessing of Missionary Sewing” which includes chil-dren's clothing & layettes. These

items have been made during the past year by women of the church. Children's clothing will be sent to “Nancy's Notions” in Michigan & the layettes to a church warehouse in Maryland. From there they will be sent to wherever they are most needed. Some of these items will be on display following the service dur-ing coffee time.

Our Mission Celebration will continue with a Mission Luncheon hosted by PW on Tuesday, October 10, at 12:00 in Richardson Hall. YOU ALL ARE INVITED TO JOIN US! Please call Rena Bumgardner at 468-8341 or Marie Fuhrmann at 495-9154 to make a reservation. Cost for the luncheon is $5.00. There will al-so be opportunities to contribute to our Thank Offering & Least Coin.

SUNDAY FUN DAYS! SEPTEMBER HIGHLIGHTS:

Sunday school kicked off again on Septem-ber 10th! We had a great 3 weeks. The first week we painted rocks to hide around the

downtown Helena area. There is a Facebook group called “Helena, MT Rocks.” It is a na-

tionwide activity that is meant to spread joy to everyone who finds a painted rock. They are supposed to re-hide the rocks, so they can travel nation and even worldwide! On Sep-tember 17th, we went on a walk downtown,

and hid our rocks for people to find. On Sep-tember 24th, we did a children’s Bible story

“popcorn” game, where the children got to flip to a page in the Bible, and we read whatever story they landed on! They enjoyed this activi-

ty very much!

OCTOBER FORESHADOW:

We have a VERY exciting month planned for the month of October. We will be diving into our new curriculum. It is based the same as last year’s curriculum, and I believe the chil-dren will enjoy this year’s lessons very much. We have an exciting month of pumpkin patch ahead, and plan on continuing our Trunk-Or-Treat on October 31st. God’s Blessings Upon You, Lexsey Carpenter Director of Christian Education

ACTS 29: We Are the Next Chapter!

WE LAUNCHED A NEW YOUTH GROUP PROGRAM!

Acts 29 Youth Ministry at First Presbyterian Church is inviting all middle and high school aged youth to join us for youth group

Thursdays from 6:30 – 8:00 PM.

Our youth group will be blended with grades 6-12. We will be dis-cussing relevant topics, and diving into different books of the Bi-ble. We will be following a non-denominational curriculum. For

certain discussions, we will split up middle school and high school kids.

Until October 5th we will be finishing a 4-week series called

“Better Than One,” a youth study on friendship taught by Atlanta, Georgia pastor Dhati Lewis. It teaches youth what kinds of friend-

ships are leading them down the right path if the friends they have are holding them accountable, and how to be a good friend

themselves.

On October 12th, we will be starting a new 4 week series called “Shaken,” a youth study taught by Tim Tebow. In this series, Te-

bow will talk about what he's learned along the way, building con-fidence in his identity in God, and not in the world. This series features practical wisdom from Scripture and insights gained

from others who have impacted Tebow in life-changing ways. I believe this 4-week series is one that the youth will absolutely

love! It will challenge the way they view themselves, and others.

Heaven l y Har vest Bazaar

Our annual “Heavenly Harvest Bazaar” will be held on Friday and Saturday, Oc-tober 20th and 21st. Thanks to all of you who have been so generous in contrib-uting to the bazaars in the past. As you know it takes the entire church to make a successful bazaar. We need your help and donated items.

Wednesday Willing Workers spend much of their time throughout the year work-ing on a variety of Mission sewing projects which include sewing baby layettes, making stuffed dolls, knitting prayer shawls and lap robes for nursing home oc-cupants and making quilts, just to name a few. We would greatly welcome any sewing or crafts that you might have been working on at home.

Be thinking about what you could contribute to the Bakery. (Bestsellers are: pies, candy, bread, rolls and LOTS of cookies)! We need at least 50 pies for lunch to go along with the homemade soups that the kitchen crew will be preparing. Ex-tra pies will be sold in the bakery.

If you have been making jams, jellies, pickles, etc., in your own home, they would certainly be welcome.

Thanks to all for your help!

Lucille Letcher Bazaar Chair _______________________________________________________________

Heavenly Harvest Bazaar!

If anyone has or knows anyone who has, a dress form or mannequin and would be willing to loan it to the Presbyterian Women (P.W.) for the Bazaar, please call Lucille Letcher at 465-0467 or Rena Bumgardner at 468-8341. Thank you.

LOST SOLES

We’ll close out the fall hiking season (unless November turns out to be unusual-

ly warm and dry) with a hike and a picnic in the Elk Horn mountains on Satur-

day, October 7. We will meet at the church at 9 am and car pool to the trail

head. We will hike into Elk Horns about 3 miles, 1.5 miles gradual uphill and 1.5

miles gradual downhill, to Willard creek. There are some picnic tables there

(“naturally occurring” picnic tables I’m sure). We will enjoy a picnic of cheese,

bread, fruit and anything else you want to pack in. ADer enjoying the picnic

and the creek, we will hike back out to the trail head encountering the reverse

up 1.5 miles and down 1.5 miles. The trail is well maintained, and there is a

very good chance of spoEng wildlife. Bring your own water or drink. This is a

scenic hike and you are guaranteed of geEng in your 10k steps for the day

(along with fantas8c fellowship)! Come enjoy and be awed by God’s crea8on.
