Pastor’s Message

“Blessed is the king who

comes in the name of the

Lord! Peace in heaven,

and glory in the highest

heaven!”

Luke 19:38

“Christ the Lord is risen today, Alleluia!”

Charles Wesley hymn

Palm Sunday at many churches begins with a

joyous procession of children and youth waving palm

branches and singing “Hosanna!” It is an exciting

event as even the people in the pews are encouraged

to wave their palms and join in the exuberance of the

day. A week later, on Easter Sunday, we are again in

a celebratory mood, excitedly proclaiming the

resurrection of Jesus Christ. But in-between there is

a valley of pain and suffering to be traversed. When

we jump from one mountain top to another, the

experience of Easter loses some its power. We can’t

fully comprehend what Easter means to us until we

have shared, at least vicariously, in the despair and

grief of Good Friday.

Too often, Holy Week is just a school

vacation or a time to buy Easter clothes. I invite you

to make it more meaningful this year by committing

to a discipline of discipleship. Make a commitment

to be in worship at one or more of the mid-week

services – Maundy Thursday communion, Good

Friday Noon or evening Tenebrae, and Saturday’s

Jazz Vigil. Bring greater meaning to your celebration

of Easter by experiencing the valley between the

mountaintop experiences of Palm Sunday and Easter.

Perhaps you will want to join me in an act of sacrifice

by fasting from midnight Thursday night until the

Easter vigil. If medical issues prevent you from

giving up food for those 40 hours, consider what

else you might sacrifice: TV, coffee, electronic

devices. It is through our identification with the

suffering of Christ and the grief of the disciples that

we better understand the extraordinary joy and

wonder of Easter morning. And time spent in prayer

always brings us closer to God. Maybe you will

want to set a schedule of regular prayer during these

three days.

I hope you will take advantage of the many

ways Grove offers to remember the enormous

sacrifice of Jesus for us, and to celebrate what God

has done through Jesus Christ. Happy Easter. United Methodist Men

Upcoming Events

Prayer Shawl Information

Mark your calendars! ALL volunteers and staff

members who work with our children and youth at

Grove are required to attend a one hour Safe

Sanctuary "Re-training" on Saturday morning, April

18th at 10:00 am in Asbury Hall. The session will be

conducted by John Lafferty, the Vice Chairman of the

EPA Conference Safe Sanctuary Committee, and will

cover the new PA law changes concerning

individuals who work with children and youth. Please

plan on attending this important meeting.

Safe Sanctuary Re-Training

Because of Holy Week, our Prayer Shawl Meeting will be changed to Wednesday, April 8 from 1:00 to 2:30

p.m. in Z Lounge.

The Prayer Shawl Ministry is a vital part of our church. Many shawls have been sent to people in the

community. They are a comfort to those who receive them. We have a small dedicated group of knitters and

are willing to help you learn to knit or crochet. Prayer shawl ministry needs your help. Even if you do not knit

or crochet, you could be a part of this ministry.

We could use your help in many ways. COULD YOU?

make the tags that go on the finished shawls and squares

write articles for the newsletters, website, or Facebook

organize the yarn closet

make copies of the directions for making prayer shawls, prayer squares, and baptismal shawls

set up the sign up area such as who needs shawls, with ways to request them, who wants to make them

or who would like to be part of the group

take yarn to people who would like to work at home, but might not be able to come to get it

pick up those shawls or that person who would like to attend a prayer shawl meeting

write a brochure that explains the ministry

deliver prayer shawls to those who need them

make an inventory of the shawls with pictures

set up a directory of where the shawls go

These are non-knitting needs that a co-chair could help with. This would free up time to help others learn. If

you could help in any of these ways, leave a note at the sign-up table.

Visitors to Grove are invited to a Pastor's Coffee on

Sunday, April 26, at 4 PM in Z Lounge. Come learn

about Grove, its mission, it's ministries and

opportunities for living out your faith at Grove

Church.

Many Ministries to Celebrate

We continue to have this column to notice and celebrate the many ways people within our congregation are in

ministry:

The team that initiated, researched and now implement the Community Dinners.....Carol Moore, Jill Baldwin,

Judy Wadsworth and Brenda Lewis.

Jim Barcio, who came over to Grove at 6AM on an icy Sunday morning in February to check whether we had

electricity and to help determine whether worship should be cancelled (that was the Sunday that the 8:00 AM

service was cancelled).

Shawn Bergman and Jon Baker, who hung banners on our building during the cold winter!

The youth ministry team, consisting of amazing, devoted and creative volunteers who pour their time and love

into our student ministry at Grove. When you see them, be sure to thank Becky Aaker, Mike Hardie, Jeff Pop-

yack, Jim Barcio, and Lori Plunkett for all they have done and continue to do to make Grove's youth know

they have a second home.

Syd Raihall, and her helper Teri Goslin, who faithfully coordinate the Grove Prayer Chain, and distribute

prayer requests to those on the prayer chain email list.

Linda Schneider and Cindy George, who coordinate the Stop Hunger Now event, and who organize fundrais-

ers year round to support this event.

Penny Arndt and Joan Cross, who take care of the Paraments in the Sanctuary. That is, they change the altar

cloths with the season, and polish the brass.

Linda Seybold and Carol Moore, who coordinate the Home Communion program. When we celebrate com-

munion at Grove during worship, Linda organizes the team who goes out to our home bound members to take

communion to them. Carol prepares the kits with the bread and grape juice in travel containers. Look for those

kits on the altar next time we have communion - they are blessed along with the bread and wine we use during

the service.

Sandy Murray and Joan Cross, who are our church Treasurer and Assistant Treasurer, handling all our reim-

bursement checks and paying the bills for Grove.

Brenda Lewis, who recruits and schedules our Greeters for all of our worship services.

Congratulations to Matt Popyack on making Regional Chorus!

Congratulations to Scott Byerly and Michael Shoremount and the students of Rustin for a great production of

“Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.”

Congratulations to Matthew Hontz who will participate in the Region Orchestra On March 14 as well as the

All State Wind Ensemble in Hershey on March 28 and All Eastern Band in Rhode Island on April 9-12.

Congratulations to Bron Yocum on receiving her Doctorate of Ministry degree from Drew University.

Laundromat League

Where do you Launder Your Clothes?

If you use a Laundromat, please contact Syd

Raihall or Arlene Rengert to let them know its

location and specific address. Even better, can you

learn the name and phone number or email of the

manager or owner? Grove participates in the

Laundromat Library League that places "Library

boxes" of children's books in Laundromats.

Presently 8-10 Laundromats between Phoenixville

and Oxford are covered. We want to help this project

grow by saturating the entire region! Thanks for

what you can do!

with: Syd ([email protected];484-947-5536) or

Arlene ([email protected]; 610-696-2282).

This month let’s look at the East Belfast Mission

where our Grove missionary, Alison Gilmore

ministers. This mission has worked in the area since

1985 through a local Methodist church. The

purpose of the mission is to bridge the divide

between Catholics and Protestants. Economic

development has been a central part of the

mission. The Skainos Center (a community

regeneration project, was opened in 2012.) This

center shelters a wide variety of programs and

services including worship, child care, elder care,

classrooms for art and a café. The counseling center

in which Alison ministers is one of the center’s

newest services. The center seeks to offer emotional

healing resulting from years of conflict in the

area. Alison says, ‘There is nothing joy-filled in

their circumstances. The picture I hold is beauty

and possibility. I don’t push it right away. In many

cases, it is very hard work and years of a journey

together, but as their counselor and as the church,

surely we should try to be known by our hope, love

and even joy in impossible situations. Please pray

for the work that Alison is doing and for more

volunteers counselors to lighten the load.

Sunday Morning Adult Forum

We have no class on Easter Sunday, April 5 but on the 12th we will begin our month with a re-scheduled topic

that had to be cancelled because of a February snow. Harriet Silver Lacy and Stuart Lacy will

photographically share their time in Qatar in 2012. You might remember that last year they shared their time

in Egypt, and then Stuart was re-assigned to Qatar when Egypt erupted. We're eagerly awaiting hearing about

Qatar, a country most of us know little about other than that it is home to Al Jazerra, a station familiar to many

that seek alternative TV news.

Later in April we will probably return to domestic issues, but plans are still tentative as of the newsletter

deadline. Anticipate one or more very provocative sessions on "the Prison Industrial Complex."

We meet from 11-12 Sunday mornings, upstairs in Z Lounge, with many of us gathering by 10:45 for coffee/

tea and casual conversation. Everyone is always welcome, regardless of whether you have been before or ever

intend to come back. And, as always, we welcome your questions and ideas. Be in touch with any of the class

coordinators: Carol Jewitt ([email protected]; 610/458-0207); Susan Parno ([email protected];

610/363-6897); and Arlene Rengert ([email protected]; 610/696-2282).

In early May the Grove AIDS Work Team

will be collecting these items for this summer's

campers at Camp Dreamcatcher, a camp experience

for local children (age 6 and up) that are affected by

HIV/AIDS. As you shop this April might you

purchase items to contribute? There are 130 campers

so there is need for lots!!! (And, checks toward

purchase are also welcome.) The collection is for

new items only: SINGLE BED SHEET SETS,

SOCKS, AND SUNSCREEN.

Questions? Please contact Arlene Rengert(610/696

-2282; [email protected]) or Pam Rollins (610)

873-9736 or [email protected].

Sheets, Socks, and Sun Screen

It's that time of year again to take a swing!!! Come

to Grove on Saturday, April 25th to play a 9-hole

round of MINI GOLF! The entire course will once

again be hand-made by our YOUTH and will benefit

summer missions (ASP & Mission Blitz). Doors will

be open between 4:00 - 8:00 PM and this year we'll

be partnering with the Community Dinner team in

order to offer both dinner and golf.

Costs:

Round of golf: $8 per person or $25 for family/

group of 4

Round of golf PLUS dinner:

$20

Tickets will be available for

purchase Sunday mornings

in April or at the door.

Please come out for this

United Methodist Men

On Monday, April 13, we will have a Men’s Night Out at the P. J. Whelihan's Pub in Downingtown, 853 Lan-

caster Ave. Spirits at 5:30 PM followed by dinner at 6:00 PM. You will order from an extensive menu and pay

by separate check. There is no program, just the opportunity for our men to socialize and get to know one an-

other and share our favorite stories. A sign-up sheet is posted on the men’s board in the church hallway. Please

direct any questions to Bill McKinney (610-420-1399).

Join us for worship during this most special week of the Christian year. We begin the week on Palm

Sunday, March 29th in morning worship. All three worship services will include distribution of palms. The

two traditional services will be preaching services, but at the 11:00 am Arise service, the sermon be replaced

by a series of dramatic vignettes featuring people Jesus met Along the Way to the Cross. Their reflections

remind us of the ways our sin puts us in need of a Savior.

The Maundy Thursday service at 7:30 pm commemorates the institution of the Lord’s Supper on Jesus’

last night before his crucifixion. After a homily exploring who were the original disciples gathered that night ,

we will take our place at the Lord’s Table.

On Friday, there are two opportunities for worship. The Noon hour will be observed by a traditional

service with preaching, hymns and prayers. At 7:30, we will gather for a Choral Tenebrae, a service retelling

the story of Christ’s passion through word and song and the extinguishing of the lights. Our Tenebrae holder

was made by Carl Bangert from wood of one of the oak trees in the original grove. As the candles are

extinguished, we are reminded of the ways the world tried to extinguish the light of Christ.

Saturday afternoon, the Jazz Vigil invites us to assemble in the cemetery west of the church at 4 pm

and process behind the band into the sanctuary where we will hear the story of salvation proclaimed, from

creation to the fall and our need for a savior, to our redemption in Jesus Christ. Dixieland jazz distinguishes

this service from the rest of the weekend.

Easter Sunday begins with the Sunrise service at 6:30 am as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus

Christ. We’ll continue worship at 8 am with a choir ensemble and 9:30 am with the full Tabernacle Choir

singing the Hallelujah Chorus! We’ll finish the morning with the Arise service taking place in the sanctuary at

11 am.

Come and walk the way of Christ, from the acclamation of Palm Sunday to the grief of Good Friday to

the unexpected joy of Easter Sunday

Church & Society

"Happy are those.....whose hope is in the Lord their God......who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives

food to the hungry." ...Psalm 146: 5, 7

United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) PRAYER: FAIR TRADE God, bless the campesinos, the small-scale coffee farmers who

spend all year working small, family-owned farms, with unpredictable harvests. Renew their

souls so that they might carry on through the next harvest as their coffee fuels me through the

next challenge in my life. Help me remember that when I choose to buy the things that I need

from fair-trade companies, I’m investing in social projects like fresh-water wells, educational

materials and organic agriculture projects. Remind me every day that I do mission work

simply by choosing the coffee that I drink. Amen

Rebekah Forni is a worker-owner at Equal Exchange, a fair-trade coffee cooperative that only purchases from

small-scale farmer co-ops. Learn more at Equalexchage.coop.

Circle of Giving In April, we suggest that you consider donating rice, stuffing, beans (dried and canned). You may place

your contributions in the beautiful wooden box inside the church entrance on Sunday or anytime that you

happen to be at the church. All contributions are delivered to the West Chester Food Cupboard each week

where they help to meet the increasing need. During March 153 pounds of foods were delivered to the

Cupboard. Many thanks to all persons who are faithful providers! You are invited to stop by the Cupboard any

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Saturday morning to see the Cupboard in action. You will be impressed!

Paper for People On Easter Sunday, April 5, we will be accepting your donations of a variety of paper products. Suggested

donations include paper towels, toilet paper, tissues, diapers, napkins, paper cups and plates, etc. Collection

tubs are to be found inside the church entrance on that Sunday. Your contributions will be delivered to the

Friends Association in West Chester, an organization that provides transitional housing for families who are

new to the area. Your donations of paper products are distributed among these families. Additionally, Grove

provides food to each family on "move-in day."

The Environment

Earthjustice is a nonprofit public interest law firm dedicated to protecting the magnificant places, natural

resouces and wildlife of this earth, and to defending the right of all people to a healthy environment. The

following is a recent action by Earthjustice. A million acres of Grand Canyon watershed is less thretened by

uranium poisoning, thanks to a court ordeer upholding a 20-year ban on new uranium mining claims. In 2012,

then Interior Seretary Ken Salazar issued the ban, protecting the area’s springs and creeks, wildlife and vistas

from new toxic uranium-mining polution. The ruling also helped protect Havasu Creek, the sole drinking

water supply of the Havasupai Tribe, whose life and culture are inextricably intertwined with the Grand

Canyon. The judge summarized his ruling dismissing all uranium mining industry claims by stating that the

Secretary of the Interior had the authority to „err on the side of caution in protecting a national teasure.“

Through Church and Society we at Grove support the work of Earthjustice and take the position that the work

of this organization is instrumental in preserving God’s creation. We are most interested in supporting work on

behalf of the environment in our immediate area. Our Adopt-A-Highway event is such an activity. We invite

you to particpate in this event and to suggest other activities that will benefit the environment.

Creation Care for A GREENER FUTURE

A conference that brings together concerned citizens to examine the perils of climate change and how society

can address them will be held on Friday, April 17, from 9 am to 2 pm at Cabrini College (Grace Hall).

Keynote speaker will be U.S. Senator Robert P. Casey along with two other noted speakers. Breakout sessions

will be held on related topics.Admission is free with lunch provided. Please register at www.cabrini.edu/

Climate . A list of speakers and topics is posted on the Church and Society board in the hallway.

Living for Jesus, Changing Lives

In an effort to provide the Grove congregation with examples of "life-changing experiences." Soon, Church

and Society will be soliciting stories from the congregation that are often overlooked, but that have brought joy

to those affected. Much more concerning this will be forthcoming. Meanwhile, be thinking of experiences that

you or others have had that have brought about profound changes in one’s life.

Adopt-A-Highway Again this year Grove volunteers will be gleaning all the trash found along Grove and Whitford Roads

(starting at Sunset Hollow Road. ending at Rt. 30). Our first pick-up is scheduled for Sunday, April 19. We

will meet at the church at 1:00 PM to receive materials (vests, gloves and bags) and assignments. We try to

work in teams of two, leaving our filled trash bags at appropriate spots along the way for pick-up by

PennDOT. A team can accomplish its work in about an hour and a half. Of course, the more volunteers we

have the shorter the entire job. This is not a closed group of volunteers, we need all the help we can get. There

is no sign-up for this event, just show-up at the appointed time. Know that you will improving the environment

in the neighborhood of our church. Questions? Call Bill (610-696-3699).

April 22 is Earth Day, a day we’re invited to

remember our responsibility to future generations to

care for the earth and serve as stewards of creation.

On the three Sundays following Easter, we’ll explore

God’s call to stewardship of the earth in sermons and

in discussion classes. We’ll use a curriculum created

by the Dr. Rev. Owen Owens, a participant in the life

of Grove Church and former denominational officer

of the American Baptist Convention with

responsibilities including the faith response in eco-

justice. Sign up for this special Sunday School class,

offered at 9:30 and 11 am, and join us Sunday

mornings as we consider God’s call to Adam to “fill

the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over…

every living thing.”

Creation Care Series

Grove Church will host the annual District

Conference of the Southeast District of the Eastern

Pa. Annual Conference on Sunday afternoon, April

Finance

Regular Operations – Our financial results year to date through February are as follows:

2015 2014

ACTUAL RECEIPTS $ 85,676 $100,219

ACTUAL EXPENSES $116,497 $ 97,671

OPERATING SURPLUS / (DEFICIT) $ (30,821) $ 2,548

Expenses increased over prior year due to the timing of certain bills that have been incurred sooner than last

year or higher: an annual HVAC service contract of $4,000, snow removal of $1,100 higher than last year

(while no one substantial snow – we’ve had many small snow/ice events this year), and an unplanned elevator

repair of $2,565. Giving is behind last year’s total to date, despite attendance being steady on normal-weather

Sundays….of course normal weather in January/February has been difficult to find. While only one early

worship service was cancelled due to potentially hazardous road conditions, several Sundays’ attendance

numbers were unfavorably impacted by the winter weather. If you were away or unable to attend, please

consider catching up on your pledge if you are behind. Your faithful support is vital to meeting the on-going

needs of the many ministries which are underway at Grove.

Check request form authorizations – Several individuals leading various Grove programs or committees have

asked for guidance as to what signatures are needed on the check request form for authorizing the issuance of

check payment. In general:

Payments up to $250 – Committee chairperson may approve (except if payable directly to themselves – then

requires the same as next instance);

Payments $251 - $1,000 – Committee chairperson or one of the committee members; and one of the following:

either of the Pastors, Chair of Steering Team or Finance; and

Payments over $1,000 – Committee chairperson and two of the following: either of the Pastors, Chair of

Steering Team or Finance.

In addition, authorization signatures can be applied electronically by email (for example, recently I received by

email a check request and supporting invoice in an adobe “pdf” format…printed and then re-scanned and

emailed back to requestor once I reviewed and signed).

Finally, recently a new Fundraising Policy and Fundraising Form was adopted effective for all fundraising

activities at Grove after April 1. The purpose is to provide guidelines and procedures for those involved in

fundraising. Ask the office for a copy by email or visit the new Grove Church web site (once launched).

Thank you for your faithful support,

Bob Rubin for the Finance Committee
