Counter-Intuitive
Everyone is busy. I get that. Everyone’s budget is stressed. I
get that. Caregiving responsibilities abound. I get that, too. So
how should we deal with it? Add some things to your life.
“What?!?!” you might say – I get that. But it’s the truth, as
counter-intuitive as it might seem.
When I was a kid, as happens in most families, at the dinner
table you had to eat your vegetables before you could have dessert.
Now we know that veggies are good for you, and dessert less so. But
here’s the thing: as a child, we remember it as a different lesson:
you need to power through the bad, in order to earn the good.
That’s a bad lesson.
When you are overwhelmed, you need to take a break. When your
scheduled is jammed far too tightly, you need to schedule rest.
When you feel broke, find ways to be generous. Far too often we
think that we can secure margin for our lives – a margin of leisure
time, financial security – by working harder. This is
intuitive.
God taught the Israelites a counter-intuitive lesson when they
were wandering in the wilderness. God provided manna for the people
to eat, and of course the people wanted to gather as much as they
could. After all, if there is manna to be had, why just gather
enough for today? Why not gather more for tomorrow? Next week? Next
month?
But God told them to only gather enough for the day. On the day
before the Sabbath, they were permitted to gather enough for the
Sabbath, so they didn’t have to work on the Sabbath. That was the
only exception. The story is recounted in the book of Exodus:
“This is what the LORD has commanded: ‘Gather as much of it as
each of you needs, an omer to a person according to the number of
persons, all providing for those in their own tents.’” The
Israelites did so, some gathering more, some less. But when they
measured it with an omer, those who gathered much had nothing over,
and those who gathered little had no shortage; they gathered as
much as each of them needed. And Moses said to them, “Let no one
leave any of it over until morning.” But they did not listen to
Moses; some left part of it until morning, and it bred worms and
became foul. And Moses was angry with them.” – Exodus 16:16-20

Presbyterian Church of Englewood, NJ
From the Pastor
-
There’s a metaphor there for all of us. Sometimes I think
portions of our lives have “bred words and became foul” because we
tried to “over-gather,” so to speak. Because this makes sense to us
– why just gather for today when we can gather for the days, weeks,
and even years ahead?
But the reality is counter-intuitive: over-gathering doesn’t
work. We generally cannot (at least not in the long run) work our
way out of the stress-inducing, negative aspects of our lives – we
have to just go ahead and add the good things we claim to have
wanted in the first place.
Add the leisure time to your schedule. Let it bump something
else – because it’s more important. Add generosity to your budget.
Unless you are in a position where every expense is a necessity (an
actual necessity, not just something you want), let generosity bump
something you don’t really need out of your budget. Add healthy
friendships, and let a healthy friendship bump an unhealthy
friendship (most of us have some of those) out of your life.
The example I gave earlier of vegetables before dinner should
actually be a metaphor for our lives from a nutritional
perspective: it is only when we are taking in enough of the good,
that we can afford to absorb some of the bad.
Put the good things first. Prayer, family time, healthy
relationships, generosity – these are the priorities for your life.
And just as the Israelites had to learn to trust that more manna
would come when they needed it, trust that living a life that is
focused on the good things will be enough.
Peace and blessings,

CHRISTMAS CD It’s not to early to buy a copy of the Christmas CD
recorded by our choirs. Christmas Carols and songs are performed by
the Chancel Choir and Sunday School singers. CDs are complimentary
with a minimum $20 donation to the Music Fund. These will make
excellent Christmas gifts and
are a great way to share your pride in our community with your
friends, family and neighbors. They are available in the office or
from any choir member.
CHRISTMAS CANDLELIGHT CHOIR The Chancel Choir will begin
rehearsing music for the Candlelight Carol Service after worship on
November 8. If you would like to sing in the choir for this event
on December 13, come to rehearsals on Sundays at 12:15 p.m. in the
choir room.
90 SECOND SERMON Check out the 90 Second Sermon – a brief,
engaging version of the sermon being produced each week by Rich and
Kellie. Well-suited for sharing with friends via email or Facebook,
we hope you’ll find it interesting not just for yourself but as a
way to start faith conversations
with friends and family. Access the videos from our preliminary
website at www.90secondsermon.com.
CROSSROADS Come and check out the Crossroads contemporary
worship that meets every Sunday evening at 5:30 p.m. in the Chapel.
It’s casual, lively, and fun, with a great band (led by Jane Kelly
Williams) and the same basic sermon as Sunday morning (with
multimedia enhancements). It’s a great alternative – give it a try
and invite your friends!
CHRISTMAS MUSIC DONATIONS The beautiful Christmas programs are
made possible through the music fund of our church. The fund no
longer has a sufficient balance to cover the expense of our
magnificent brass quartet and other instruments for the
Christmas programs. Donations are desperately needed so that our
tradition of having the most beautiful music in the county can
continue
uninterrupted. Donations may be left at the office, designated
in the Sunday offering, or see David Macfarlane about sponsoring
individual instruments for one of our Christmas Programs.
HISTORIC CHURCHES OF BERGEN COUNTY Frank Greenagle, author of
“New Jersey Churchscape” will present a program on historic
churches of Bergen County, sponsored by the Northern NJ American
Guild of Organists, in the East Room on Monday, November 16 at 7:30
p.m. This informative program is free and open to the public.

OTHER YOUTH GROUP NEWS Middle Schoolers are promoting UNICEF
collection to benefit the world’s children with adequate food,
medical care, and shelter. They also did amazing work with their
parents feeding over 100 homeless guests at the Jan Haus
Presbyterian Church in NYC.
FPC HIGH SCHOOL MEETUP FPC high schoolers, join Pastor Rich and
Pastor Kellie as we gather upstairs in the youth lounge for food,
conversation, a mission project (you’ll get service points!) and
videos to talk about…well, anything that comes up. We’ll go right
from the youth lounge upstairs into 5:30pm Crossroads. Save
the Date: Sunday November 15 | 3 - 5:30 p.m.
PUMPKIN PATCH! The Youth Group of Middle and High School
students are actively engaged in mission and service projects. The
Pumpkin Patch is doing well after 45 volunteers unloaded 635
pumpkins with sales so far of about $4500, thanks to 32 who have
staffed the Patch, according to Project Managers, Josh and Emily
Kahn, and their advisors, Karen and Bob Kahn. Each year the Youth
Group as part of their mission to local community agencies offers
to Bergen Family Center FREE pumpkins for the seniors to paint and
to Center for Food Action for their Emergency Food packages.
On Sunday, November 1, the Youth Group will sponsor Everything
Pumpkin Coffee & Conversation to thank all who have helped to
make this mission a success again to benefit the Navajo Native
Americans in New Mexico who grow and harvest the pumpkins and
Heifer International. Dan West started Heifer more than 70 years
ago after he was giving out a cup of milk to a needy child, “they
don’t need a cup of milk, they need a cow”, he said.
PUMPKIN FEST The Pumpkin Fest was a huge success again thanks to
Debbie Alvarez and Charlene Niland. Debbie has posted some
wonderful pictures across from the church office.

BIBLE 101: THE LORD’S PRAYER: DEBTS, TRESPASSES AND OTHER
QUESTIONS Tuesday, November 10 at 6:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. * On
this night the 1-hour Bible 101 leads directly into the FPC
Leadership Series.
It’s the prayer that Jesus taught the disciples and one of the
most memorized prayers across the world. But why do some churches
say ‘debts’ while others say ‘trespasses’ – these are just a few of
the questions we’ll answer as dive deep into this simple but not
easy prayer that touches our hearts and challenges us to live
boldly.

FPC LEADERSHIP ACADEMY Tuesdays, November 3, November 10 7:30 -
9:00 p.m. in the East Room
Are you interested in becoming a better leader, a better
manager, a better employee? One of the interesting experi-ences
Rev. Hong had this summer was attending the Willow Creek Global
Leadership Summit. Their focus is on sharpening the skills of
leaders, believing that the Church has the most important mission
in the world, and there-fore the Church needs all of us to be best
leaders we can be. Led by Rich and Kellie, this is an opportunity
for you to watch some of the best presentations and we will discuss
them. The sessions are independent of one another – there is still
time for you to join in!
Nov 3: “Thanks for the Feedback” Sheila Heen, Harvard
Negotiation Project Feedback is how we find out how others perceive
us. Becoming better at being a feedback giver – and a feedback
receiver – is important for the life of your organization.
Nov 10: “Rising Strong” Prof. Brené Brown, University of Houston
Brené Brown ignited a conversation on courage, vulnerability,
shame, and worthiness. Leaders nurturing creativity recognize the
power of emotion and are not afraid to lean in to discomfort.

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD ON NOVEMBER 1ST On November 1st the
Mission Committee would like to invite the entire congregation to
participate in Operation Christmas Child by Samaritan's Purse. They
send shoeboxes filled with small gifts to churches to distribute to
children in areas affected by natural disasters like hurricanes,
earthquakes, wars, disease and famine, supporting the ministries of
those who care for the poor and
suffering. Examples are areas struck by the Ebola epidemic,
homeowners affected by the California fires, ISIS refugees,
children from Honduras, northern Iraq, Uganda, etc. They also
invite the children to enroll in "The Greatest Journey", a
12-lesson program to learn about following Christ and sharing their
faith with others. There were over 10 million shoe boxes collected
worldwide in 2014, including almost 8 million in the US. Operation
Christmas Child is a non-denominational Christian organization led
by Franklin Graham since 1979. We are very excited to help this
ministry. During Coffee and Conversation you will have a chance to
bring your items to fill a shoe box according to the appropriate
age and gender. Please bring items for a boy or girl. The age
categories will be 2-4, 5-9 and 10-14 years of age. We will provide
suggestions for items to purchase to fill your box soon. What a
wonderful way to share our love for Christ and an opportunity to
start the Holiday Season by bringing joy to a child in need. Be on
the lookout for further information!

FAITH AND FINANCE - GIVE WHAT YOU CAN As we enter the time of
year when we ask for your commitment to giving a certain amount of
money to the church in 2016, I ask each of you to consider
contributing not just your money but your gifts. In Romans 12:8 we
read "If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is
giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership
ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a
gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly". What are your
gifts?
If you have sufficient money to live a comfortable life, please
consider GIVING generously to the church. If you have other gifts
please consider contributing those as well. As Paul says in the
above passage from Romans, give according to your gifts.
The church can certainly use your LEADERSHIP skills as it
continues to grow. ENCOURAGE others to lead a faithful life and
show KINDNESS to people you know and don't know.
You can do the latter by warmly greeting visitors to the church
and making them feel welcome to our church family. This series is
called Faith and Finance, but I don't want you to think that we are
only interested in your money. I firmly believe in the saying, the
more you give the more you get; however, this pertains to monetary
giving as well as giving in many other ways. As we read in 2
Corinthians 9:6-8 "Whoever, sows sparingly will also reap
sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously".
I believe this passage pertains to giving of our money as well as
giving of ourselves. So please search and pray as to how you can
support the church. We need people to lead, encourage and to show
kindness. And yes, we can use your money as well. -Paul Platek,
Stewardship Chair

article to Bergen County AUTUMN YEARS, a new magazine dedicated to
celebrating life over sixty, and it was published in the summer
edition. Her first article was in her words, Coming Out as a
Senior”, and her second article, “Just Friends, Lovers No More?” is
published in the Fall edition.
CONGRATULATIONS TO: Margot Bennett and her friend, Sam, who
packed up their guitars and violin to shoot their first,
professionally-produced music video in Milwaukee of their song,
Burn it Down” which premiered at The Milwaukee Film Festival and
has received an amazing response from TV affiliates, websites and
press outlets.
LOVE AND SYMPATHY TO: the family of Walter R. Stillman, former
long-time member of the church known as “Bob”, died on October 17,
2015 at his home in Peabody, Mass.
WELCOME TO NEW MEMBERS: Joan Barker, Glenn and Muriel Brantley,
Sheila Chen and Hung-En Sung, J.B. Holderness, Dennis Lo and Fang
Yi, Alan Monroe, Bill and Kelley Roesch and daughter, Saylor, and
Jean Rohloff.
GRATITUDE TO: Golnaz Golriz, “Goli” who used her gifts of
creativity to decorate the Circus Room Nursery for a very colorful
fall season, helped children make beautiful pictures, and wrote the
following article about, “Creativity in Children” using the verse
in Genesis 1:27, “So God created humankind in his image”.
“God, the greatest of all creators, made men, women and children
of his image. So, all of us are creative. When we are doing what we
love to do, we can nourish our imagination and achieve our most
creative abilities. As we grow up, due to the society pressure that
pursues us only to do the practical things which are mostly
“creativity killers”, it is very likely that we put a damper on
what we were passionate about and detach from what we loved.
Children look with a sense of wonder to the world around them; even
small things like bugs or fallen leaves appear so exciting to them.
They can gaze upon a butterfly or jump over a puddle more than ten
times. This sense of curiosity improves their creativity which is a
key element to their survival and resilience later on. The best way
to develop the creativity in children is not just by telling them
but by showing them how to be creative. Let’s start thinking about
our childhood and try to remember the most joyful things we’ve done
and proceed to do them again. If we truly value creativity as a
life skill, we must develop it in our children’s life by donating
our time to help them explore, dream, express their ideas, learn
from their mistakes and look around with their childlike wonder.”
(Psalm 127:3 - "Children are a gift from the Lord, they are a real
blessing.") These attitudes are far beyond the measurement of
common academic standards and will certainly equip our kids with
necessary skills for tomorrow to help make the world a better place
for everyone to live in.” - Golnaz Golriz
