Reflections from ‘The Rev’

Just for Today The month of August is in the thick of summer. And August seems to be a ripe month for “projects.” Friends in my life, folks in my neighborhood and members in the church seem to be in the thick of “projects.” Their projects are vast and varied: erecting a playground set for children, refurbishing a bathroom, reclaiming a vegetable garden, down-sizing from one house and moving into another (and smaller) house. All these “projects” are about change and about improving life. During this summer, I have made myself my “project.” I have external and internal “projects” that need my time, my energy and my attention. My personal “project” is also about change and about improving life. One of my self-chosen “project” requirements this summer is reading a book or books that have the poten-tial to change and improve my heart, my mind, my body and my spirit. One book that I consult regularly, Holy Scripture, has the potential to change and improve our hearts, our minds, our bodies and our spirits. The apostle Paul, in his second letter to the Corinthians, declares:

All of us, with unveiled faces,

seeing the glory of the Lord

as though reflected in a mirror,

are being changed into the same image of God

from one degree of glory to another;

for this comes from the Lord, the Spirit.

[Emphasis mine] 2 Corinthians 3:18 Reading Holy Scripture allows for the possibility of the Spirit to change and improve our hearts, our minds, our bodies and our spirits. Through the weekly exercise of preparing a sermon, I habitually “work” with Holy Scripture. Habitually, Holy Scripture “works on” me…and changes me.

Reflections from The Rev’ (Continued from Page 1) Recently, another book, How to Stop Worrying and Start Living, written by Dale Carnegie, presented me a smorgasbord of possible life changes that have led to some significant life improvements. I am convinced that the Spirit speaks through other texts--even self-help texts--to enable change to happen within our lives and to transform our lives. One of the more provocative lists of life changes and, thus, of life improvements that Carnegie cites in his book is a prose piece, entitled “Just for Today.” The words were first written in 1916 by a Catholic nun, whose birth name was Sibyl F. Partridge. Serving in a religious order of nuns in England, Sibyl requested that authorship of her poem be listed as “Anonymous” until her death in 1920.

“Just for Today”

1. Just for today I will be happy. This assumes that what Abraham Lincoln said is true, that “most folks are

about as happy as they make up their minds to be.” Happiness is from within; it is not a matter of externals.

2. Just for today I will try to adjust myself to what is, and not try to adjust everything to my own desires. I

will take my family, my business, and my luck as they come and fit myself to them.

3. Just for today I will take care of my body. I will exercise it, care for it, nourish it, not abuse it nor neglect

it, so that it will be a perfect machine for my bidding.

4. Just for today I will try to strengthen my mind. I will learn something useful. I will not be a mental loafer.

I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration.

5. Just for today I will exercise my soul in three ways: I will do somebody a good turn and not get found out.

I will do at least two things I don’t want to do, as William James suggests, “just for exercise.”

6. Just for today I will be agreeable. I will look as well as I can, dress as becomingly as possible, talk low,

act courteously, be liberal with praise, criticize not at all, nor find fault with anything and not try to regulate

nor improve anyone.

7. Just for today I will try to live through this day only, not to tackle my whole life problem at once. I can do

things for twelve hours that would appall me if I had to keep them up for a lifetime.

8. Just for today I will have a program. I will write down what I expect to do every hour. I may not follow it

exactly, but I will have it. It will eliminate two pests: hurry and indecision.

9. Just for today I will have a quiet half hour all by myself and relax. In this half hour, I will think of God, so

as to get a little more perspective into my life.

10. Just for today I will be unafraid, especially I will not be afraid to be happy, to enjoy what is beautiful, to

love, and to believe that those I love, love me. Sybil Partridge’s list has become a daily “project” for me. May Sybil’s words change and improve your life, if only…just for today. Beside you in the journey of faith, Rev. BarbaraRev. BarbaraRev. BarbaraRev. Barbara

Summer Worship with a Difference…at The United Church of Warsaw

Summer is a season when “different” is the theme. Different sleep patterns for students not in school: staying up late and sleeping in late. Different sports for outside participation: swimming, kayaking and motor crossing. Different clothing for sunshiny temperatures: tank tops, shorts and flip-flops. Summer is also a season for “different” themes and choices for the Sundays of summer. Consider our “different” worship offerings during August at The United Church of Warsaw: Continuation of Sermon Series on the Beatitudes On the five Sundays in August, just as with three Sundays in July, the Sunday morning sermon will highlight the Beatitudes found within “The Sermon on the Mount.” The following is the schedule of Sunday sermons and the Beatitude of the morning-- August 3 - Blessed are those who hunger and thirst

August 10 - Blessed are the merciful

August 17 - Blessed are the pure of heart August 24 - Blessed are the peacemakers

August 31 - Blessed are those who are persecuted

Allow your hearts to be nurtured and your spirits to be challenged by the Beatitudes! Continued Study of the Twelve Disciples during the Children’s Message On non-Communion Sundays, Rev. Barbara will continue to focus on and teach about the twelve Disciples of Jesus as she and the younger members of the congregation study the portraits of the Disciples that hang on the walls of the sanctuary. Learn what the word “disciple” means. And learn how the followers of Jesus sometimes helped Jesus and sometimes harmed Jesus. Continuation of Favorite Hymns During the month of August, the hymns to be sung during Sunday morning worship will be the favorite hymns that were voted upon by church friends and members. Join in singing your favorite hymns throughout the month of August!

Our acolytes for August 2014 are listed below. We thank these young people for bringing the light into our Sunday Worship time. August 3 Jyssica Fisher August 10 Lauren Howard August 17 Grace Kunze August 24 Mason Johnson August 31 Katie Fisher

Sign-up Sheets for Sunday Ministry for Au-gust are on the tables in the East Room. Following Worship and during Fellowship Time, please add your name to the lists for Greeters, Scripture Readers, Ushers, Communion Servers and Refreshment Providers.

There is no exercise better for the heart than

reaching down and lifting people up.

“Melt the Snowman” Campaign: Goal Achieved!

We have done it! Together, as a family of faith at The United Church of Warsaw, we have “melted” our $7500 “Snowman” of debt! And it seems fitting that the $7500 Snowman was melted in the heat of summer.

* * * * * Currently, the month of August is wrapped around us. Summer is in our faces. Yet, we still recall the face of winter--the long, snow-packed face of winter--that broke records and made history. Beginning in the April edition of our newsletter, you have read that actual heating costs for The United Church of Warsaw substantially exceeded our budgeted estimates. November and December in 2013 and January, February and March in 2014 were significantly colder than usual. As a consequence, our church’s heating expenses surpassed our heating budget by $7500. One could say that our church accrued a $7500 “Snowman” of a heating bill. This climate-induced circumstance inspired a faith-sharing mission: Our “Melt the $7500 Snowman” Campaign. Members and friends of The United Church of Warsaw were given the opportunity to “melt” this unforeseen expense. With great joy and deep gratitude, I can report the success of our “Melt the Snowman” Campaign. After four months of the campaign--

The United Church received nearly 60 contributions, totaling $7500.

The $7500 Snowman is 100% “melted.”

To those who contributed to the “Melt the Snowman” Campaign, thank you for your generous participation. Please know that your giving spirit has strengthened the overall spirit of our faith community. Bless you for the gifts from your lives and your livelihood that helped to achieve our goal within four months. May God’s Spirit continue to grace your own spirit. Faithfully and gratefully beside you in the journey, Rev. Barbara Rev. Barbara Rev. Barbara Rev. Barbara

New Leaves on

the Tree of Our Church Life On July 13, during Sunday worship, the family of faith at The United Church of Warsaw joyfully celebrated the Baptism of three individuals and, in tandem, welcomed four individuals into the membership of our faith community. Those who received Baptism were: Gabrielle Elise Henry, Lisa Ann Johnson and Mason Michael Johnson. Those who joined the membership of The United Church were: Gabrielle Elise Henry, Lisa Ann Johnson, Gregory Paul Myers and Rev. Dr. Barbara Therese. Gabrielle is the teenage daughter of Robert Henry, Sr., and Lisa Johnson. Lisa received adult Baptism. Twelve-year old Mason is the son of Daniel Johnson and Lisa Johnson. Gabrielle and Lisa both joined the church by Confession of Faith. Greg joined the church by Reaffirmation of Faith. Barbara Therese joined by Transfer of Membership. Gabrielle will be a senior at Warsaw Central School. She enjoys music, theater, athletics and academics. Gabrielle has already shared her gifts of cooking, baking and music at The United Church of Warsaw. She looks forward to sharing more of those same gifts as well as sharing in Mission, Education, Fellowship and upkeep of our church. Lisa enjoys decorating, sewing, cooking, gardening, yoga and meditation. She has shared her skills in cooking and baking at The United Church and wants to offer Graphic Design. Lisa seeks to become more involved in Mission and Fellowship events. Greg names weight-lifting as a hobby. Greg has already done significant “weight-lifting” at The United Church with work on the Memorial Garden as well as in setting up and taking down chairs, tables, tents and canopies for the Strawberry Social. Greg seeks to do specialized Mission work within The United Church. Barbara Therese is a Minister of Word and Sacrament, ordained by the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and fully credentialed in the United Church of Christ. She lists her joys as story-writing, storytelling, distance running and good theater. Barbara has served as Permanent Pastor at The United Church since March 1, 2012. The United Church of Warsaw enthusiastically welcomes these new members into the life and mission of The United Church of Warsaw. Then, on July 27, during Sunday worship, our faith community celebrated the infant Baptism of Lucas Shawn Eley. Lucas is the son of Shawn and Jessica (Flint) Eley, the younger brother of James Eley and the grandson of Douglas and Cindy Flint. During morning worship and the sacrament of Baptism, Lucas and his immediate family were warmly surrounded by a sizable gathering of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. With tremendous joy, we welcome Lucas Eley into the universal family of God!

Ellie’s and Bella’s Yard Sale Pictures and article by Rev. Dr. Barbara Therese

In early July, colorful flyers bearing the hand-drawn pictures of two little girls’ faces began appearing all around the town and village of Warsaw. The flyers featured these words:

Ellie’s & Bella’s Yard sale!

The Yard sale will be July 12th 2014 at 8:00 in the morning to 3:00 pm. The Yard sale is for the food pantry.

There will be a lot of stuff at the Yard sale like books, bags and lemonade. The yard sale will be at 173 West Buffalo St. in Warsaw. Our goal is to have 20 people at our yard sale. What do you think happened?

On Saturday morning, July 12, the front yard of 173 West Buffalo Street in Warsaw, New York, was adorned with more than a dozen tables that displayed books, bags…and toys, athletic gear, glassware, pottery, jewelry, kitchen utensils, lamps, baby goods, clothes, shoes, fashion accessories, a kitchen stove and even a brand new hot tub. Two tables offered lemonade…and water, granola and cookies. Ellie’s and Bella’s Yard Sale dawned on Saturday, July 12, but reap-peared on Saturday, July 19, in conjunction with Yard Sale Week in the village of Warsaw. An official count of “customers” was not tabulated, but estimates are that more than 200 people came to the Yard Sale over the two-day event.

What were the total proceeds from Ellie’s and Bella’s Yard Sale?

The Yard Sale netted $915 for the Warsaw Food Pantry, housed in The United Church of Warsaw.

Who are “Ellie” and “Bella”?

Ellie Tangeman (age 6) and Bella Noon (age 7) are good friends, classmates and graduates of Starburst Preschool. Both are entering the second grade at Warsaw Elementary School this September. Ellie is the daughter of Jay and Lisa Tangeman and the granddaughter of Barb Conger, all of Warsaw. Bella is the daughter of Michael and Becky Noon, also of Warsaw. In early spring, both girls asked their respective parents, “Can we have a yard sale?” The parents replied, “Sure. And you’re the bosses!” Ellie and Bella are both young performing singers. Originally they thought to fund a tour bus to showcase their singing, but they quickly abandoned that idea. Instead, the two of them chose to support a local area of need: the Food Pantry in Warsaw. After the Yard Sale, Ellie and Bella visited the Food Pantry to see the various food items stocked on the shelves and in the refrigerators. They learned from Mrs. Joyce Neeley, the Food Pantry Director, the types of food that the Pantry either receives from donations or purchases from local markets and Food Link. Ellie and Bella also learned about children, individuals and families who rely on the Food Pantry for their meals each month throughout the year. Ellie and Bella helped to make the promotional flyer. They organized, set up, sold and took down the displays of donated goods and items for the Yard Sale. They purchased some non-perishable food from a local grocery store and delivered it to the Food Pantry. Then they donated the remainder of the Yard Sale proceeds to the Food Pantry directly.

Ellie’s and Bella’s Yard Sale (Continued from Page 6) The Food Pantry and The United Church of Warsaw are profoundly grateful to Ellie, Bella and their supportive families for their far-reaching labor of love. As a faith community, The United Church of Warsaw is both proud of Ellie’s and Bella’s efforts as well as humbled by their young and generous hearts.

Strawberry Social at The United Church of Warsaw Our church’s annual (and famous!) Strawberry Social happened…with a few drops of rain, followed by an abundance of sunshine…on Thursday, June 26, on the church lawn.

What a happening! We had hard-working church members. We had smile-sharing church friends. We had gleeful children. We had cheerful teens. We had joyful adults. We had grateful hot dog fans and strawberry-lovers. We had hot dogs (red and white), condiments galore, shortcake, whipped cream, ice cream and, of course, STRAWBERRIES. Most of all, we had fabulous fellowship…among ourselves and within the community of those who came to celebrate summer in a most delicious and delightful way! Thank you--one and all--for the gifts of your time, your heart and your spirit that contributed to a traditional and seasonal event for which The United Church of Warsaw is known and appreciated. It was a holy happening!

Have you ever watched a child try to walk in his/her parents’ or grandparents’ shoes? What fun! Even more laughable is watching a child walk in adult boots. “Walking in another’s shoes” is empathy. Alfred Adler describes empathy as “seeing with the eyes of another, listening with the ears of another and feeling with heart of another.” In today’s world, it seems too often that we think only of “I” or our own tight circle. Empathizing with our spouse, our child, our parent or our relative is considerably easier than empathizing with others whom we do not understand or with whom we fundamentally disagree. Are you willing to “walk in the shoes” of someone of a different race or ethnicity, a different Christian denomination or another religion, or a different political persuasion? How about walking in the shoes of a handicapped individual or a refugee or an undocumented migrant worker or someone you don’t like? In a project called “Touching Strangers,” photographer Richard Renaldi asks complete strangers to physically interact while posing together for a portrait. The goal is to unite strangers who would not normally cross paths in order to break down barriers and to push people out of their comfort zones. Within minutes, there is a surprising acceptance and intimacy between those strangers. It is obvious in the photographs. It is possible to care about someone whom you do not know. Jesus is a role model, guide and inspiration in dealing with “others.” In Matthew 25:40, we read the words of Jesus: “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” We may find another version of human concerns and love in John 4:19-21. Empathy and compassion are two recurring themes of the New Testament. Perhaps we should listen rather than trying to talk to another. Ask someone how they are feeling if some-thing seems to be wrong. Learn about people from different backgrounds and cultures. Show concern and care for others. Pay attention to the needs of others. Get to know someone better rather than judging them. Claiming to be a Christian is easier than living out the Word of Jesus Christ. Rather than merely claim the Word, let’s live the Word!

* * * * * Thank you to all who participated in our annual Strawberry Social! This community event is a wonderful example of working together to promote fellowship among different people within the Warsaw community. Please keep these individuals in your prayers: Residents of The Cloisters, 171 North Maple Street, Warsaw: Betty Mayle, Flora Parmelee, Hope Rase Residents of Eastside Nursing Home, 62 Prospect Street, Warsaw: Lucille Carlson, Jane Ferguson, Doris Montgomery, Judy Plowe Residents of WCCH Skilled Nursing Facility, 400 North Main Street, Warsaw: Jack Kibler, Verna Schneckenburger Resident of the Batavia Nursing Home, 257 State Street, Batavia 14020: Jack Spencer Prayers of comfort, healing, peace and strength: Jeannette and Willis Allen (parents of Cyndi Nugent); Arlene Baker; Jan Clark; Eloise Colter; Bill Heubusch; Debbie Kaufman and family; Andy Murray (grandson of Ellen Chandler); Judy Plowe; Rich Saxton and his parents Austin and Laura Saxton; Lexi Sonricker and her family; Norma Spencer; Larry Spohr (brother of Betty James and Marilyn Kibler); Ruth Stevenson (mother of Ellen Chandler); and, Aileen Tuttle.

Thank you to everyone for your notes, letters and cards that were sent. They really meant a lot. Love, Bev Putney

Dear Rev. Barbara, Congregational Care Ministries and Friends, I want to thank all of you for your care for me during my recent surgery and recovery with your cards, prayers and calls as well as visits.

To the congregation of The United Church of Warsaw:

A big “thank you” to all of you who have supported the Snack Pack for Kids program in Warsaw this year. We served 12 families with a total of 37 children. Each Friday of the school year, beginning in early October, selected

families received enough food and snack items to help relieve the shortages of food experienced over the weekend when school meals are not available. Thanks to your generous donations of food and cash, we were able to carry on the worthwhile mission. We are fortunate to have the participation of other churches, businesses and individuals in our community. Trinity Episcopal Church, our “storehouse” base and support, is so valuable to the program. A special “thanks” to Janis Chalmers, our shopper and Nyla Wilkerson for all that they have done. Thanks to the packers who so willingly gave of your time: Merry Lou Holley, Clarabelle Eccleston, Barb and Dick Myers, Betty Finch, Maureen Felix, Edie Conable and Marilyn Glosser. Thanks to Emily Herman from the Warsaw Central School staff for her help and concern for the chil-dren and the program. Thanks to Richard Neeley and Gary Towner for food deliveries and Angel Action for the backpacks. We expect this program to start up again in the fall. If you are interested in joining the crew, you may contact Janis Chalmers at 585-786-3532 or Marilyn Glosser at 585-786-5753. Sincerely, Marilyn Glosser, co-coordinator
