A SPIRITUAL PERSPECTIVE ~ By: Pastor Todd Shipley
Since God Knows Everything, Why Should We Pray?
By Adrian Rogers (reprinted with permission from oneplace.com)
"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests
be made known unto God." Philippians 4:6
Prayer is our greatest Christian privilege but — we may as well admit — our greatest Christian failure. All
of us need to learn to pray more and to pray better. But one of the reasons we don't pray better than we
do, or any more than we do, is that we have questions about prayer. These questions cause us uncertainty.
Then our uncertainty sometimes neutralizes us and we become hesitant about prayer. As we begin this
new year, what more important commitment could we make than to commit ourselves more to prayer? If
we're going to impact our families, our nation, and our world in these critical days, prayer is where it
begins.
What was the first thing the Early Church did after Jesus' ascension? "They returned to Jerusalem … to an
upper room" and "continued with one accord in prayer and supplication ..." (Acts 1:12-14).
Even a casual reading of the book of Acts confirms how totally the disciples depended upon prayer — how
they dared not make a move without committing to prayer, seeking God for His guidance and deliverance
through prayer.
"And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in
prayers" (Acts 2:42).
"Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer ..." (Acts 3:1).
"But we will give ourselves continually to prayer ..." (Acts 6:4). "... prayer was made without ceasing of the
church unto God ..." (Acts 12:5).
If those who walked alongside our Lord for three years were dependent upon prayer, how much more so
are we? What a grave mistake we make if we are casual about our prayer life.
One of the questions most often asked about prayer is: Why should we pray when God already knows our
needs? Why tell God what He already knows or ask Him to do what He already wants to do?
Thank God we don't have to understand prayer in order to pray. Yet, there are some consistent valid
questions people have concerning prayer, but these must not hinder us from relying upon it.
First, here are two reasons we don't pray: • We don't pray to impress God. We're not heard for our
"much-speaking." You don't have to use poetic language or be an amateur Shakespeare. If an earthly
child can speak to an earthly father, you can speak to your Heavenly Father. We're told to cry out to Him
as our "Abba" Father — literally translated, "Daddy." (Romans 8:15, Galatians 4:6). We're not praying to impress Him. • We don't pray to inform God. You can't tell God anything He doesn't know.
So if we don't pray to impress or inform God, why then do we pray?
We Pray to Invite God. It's very important to understand this: we are inviting God into our lives when we
pray.
When we pray, we experience: • Fellowship. We become "workers together with Him" (2 Corinthians
6:1). When we pray, God gives us the joy and privilege of administrating His kingdom, His affairs —
working together with Him. He could do it without us. We could not do it without Him. But what a glory that God allows us the privilege of doing it with Him! • Development. When we pray, God is growing us.
Have you ever prayed and didn't receive immediately what you asked for? What did you do? You kept on
praying, but you also began to search your heart and life to see if something was hindering God's answer. Many times there is. God uses prayer to grow us. • Dependency. God never wants us to live lives

independent of Him. If God just did everything for us and we never had to pray, soon we would begin to
take things for granted. We would cease to depend upon God.
Prayer Binds Us to God
That's why we tell God what He already knows. He knows what we have need of before we ask, but we're
definitely, specifically, unqualifiedly told to pray and to ask — not to impress or inform God, but to invite
God, so that we might have that fellowship with Him, so that we might grow, and we would learn to depend
upon Him.
Blessings,
Todd

THE TRIAL OF JESS GOODNUFF ~ (A DRAMATIC READING)
The "Unity Hill Players", under the direction of Bob Krakovich, will debut their reading/acting skills when
they bring to life a contemporary Lenten drama focusing on Christ's sacrifice. This dramatic reading will
take place in our sanctuary, which will be transformed into a courtroom scene for the trial.
The story centers on an all-around "Average Joe" type of a guy, whose name is Jess Goodnuff. Jess
is shocked when he is arrested, in church no less, for continually falling short of God's desire for his life.
The drama then cuts to a courtroom where Jess, acting as his own attorney, calls forward a parade of
witnesses: a co-worker, his wife, his pastor and his mother. Through their sometimes humorous
testimonies, along with the intense questioning by the prosecuting attorney, Jess's major character flaws
emerge, suggesting that perhaps he isn't "just good enough" after all. Enter the Public Defender who
advises Jess to change his plea to "guilty." The final verdict is sure to make people look deeply into their
own lives to see if they too are "jus' good 'nuff".
Look for more information as to the date and time for this production in March's Outlook. Bob will be
looking for actors/actresses willing to be a part of this dramatic reading. Rehearsals will begin in early
February.
MUSIC MINISTRY ~ By: Carole Fanslow, Minister of Music
The children’s choir will start up again in the new year – first rehearsal is set for right after
church on Sunday, January 25. See Carole Fanslow for details.
CHRISTMAS CARD WISHES
Wishing You a Blessed and Peaceful Christmas! Instead of sending out individual Christmas cards these members of Unity Hill UCC chose to sign
the “Blanket Fund of Church World Service” card, and send their Christmas Blessings to everyone.
Their $5 will be donated to the CWS Blanket Fund, which helps people in times of disaster.

CHURCH COUNCIL
Church Council Meetings will be on Monday, JANUARY 12 and FEBRUARY 9 at 7:00 pm
Committee reports to Council are due in church office by the Monday before the meeting,
JANUARY 5 and FEBRUARY 2.
CHRISTIAN EDUCATION COMMITTEE ~ By: Mabel Buttress
Thank you everyone for coming to our Dinner Theater Pot Luck! What a terrific success – we had over 60
people in attendance, and the kids performed “The True Christmas Story.” A special thanks goes to those
who financially supported the program, those involved in the hours of practice, and those who contributed
their handy skills to setting the stage and decorating the hall. It took many hands, all led by the lovely and
talented Paulette Shipley, who worked tirelessly to offer such a wonderful fellowship event for the church.
We are already looking forward to next year’s production!

We are excited to offer a similar event on a Wednesday evening during Lent. We will be performing “The
Trial of Jess Goodnuff.” Although this time around the actors will be adults, we will follow the same format
– a pot luck followed by the performance. Casting is in the works, and if you’re interested or intrigued,
please see Bob Krakovich for more information.
Our Sunday School Christmas Party was filled with games and goodies, and was made complete by a visit
from Santa and Mrs. Claus! A special thanks to Eddie Yeager and Diane Henderson for volunteering their
time to make this day extra special for the kids.
Sunday School continues to have decent attendance, and we are happy to see our numbers
growing. We are changing the curriculum for the Shepherds (grades 1-5) to All-In-One Bible
Fun. We are hoping this change will help reinforce basic bible lessons and stories for our
elementary school kids. We are currently looking for a couple of additional teachers for this
group and ask you to prayerfully consider if this is something you can do. If you can consider teaching
once or twice a month or every other month (yes, even teaching only 4 to 8 Sundays a year is an incredible
help!), please see Mabel Buttress for more information.
In December, we said goodbye to Ms. Amarilis, our wonderful nursery school teacher. She will be sorely
missed by those young and old! In January, we welcome Nelson Lopez as our new nursery school teacher.
He has years of experience with young ones as he runs a state-licensed daycare out of his home. Please
be sure to stop in and give him a warm Unity Hill welcome!
The Youth Group wreath sale was successful, so a huge thanks to those of you who supported it! We made
approximately $150. The youth voted on what to do with the proceeds, and I’m proud to say they voted to
donate ½ their earnings to ACERO (Assyrian Church of the East Relief Organization.) You might recall
Reverend Smith mentioning this group during a church service; they are a non-profit organization which
donates 100% of all funds raised directly towards helping needy Assyrian refugees that have been driven
out of their homes, simply for being Christian. For more information on this group and to see how you can
help, visit www.theacero.org. We will cut a check as soon as all the wreaths have been paid for. If you
haven’t done so, please send in your check to Unity Hill UCC and write ‘wreaths’ in the memo line. We
will send our check out as soon as possible to help our Christian brothers and sisters in the Middle East.
The Youth Group continues to actively meet and they’re currently working on some outings. Our next
scheduled meetings with Pastor Todd are 1/11, 2/8, 3/8, 4/12 and 5/3, with our final meeting of the year to
be scheduled in June. Other meetings, outings and events will be announced as they are organized.
We will once again be taking part in the 30 Hour Famine in February. We will have a lock-in on February
28, with a breakfast Fundraiser on March 1st. We hope you will support the youth in raising funds for those
who go without food around the world.
Family Sundays are every first Sunday of the month. Children will remain in worship
with their families. There will be no Sunday School offered, although the nursery will
remain open for those who need it. We are looking forward to having our youth
participate in the entire worship service on a regular basis.
As 2014 comes to an end and we welcome 2015 with enthusiasm, we want to thank
everyone who unceasingly supports Christian Education. We are continuously changing to best support
the needs of our children. We also want to make sure the Christian education needs of our adults are met,
too! We love to hear from you – please feel free to let us know how you think we’re doing by sharing your
thoughts, concerns and ideas.

MISSIONS COMMITTEE ~ By: Wally Yeager
~ We prepared and delivered 7 Thanksgiving baskets to needy families of Unity Hill UCC. As always,
Missions showed our friends that they are important to us by giving not only food, but some items such as
things to set a pretty table. As we all know, you feast with your eyes first and then the food.
~ Our annual Christmas Card collection for Church World Service Blankets of Hope was $260. This money
will purchase many warm blankets for those in need. Missions expresses their heartfelt thanks to all
contributors.
~ The Christmas Fund: Remembering Our Veterans of the Cross—Those Who Serve Our Church ~
provides financial aid to retired and active ministers and their surviving spouses and children who face
overwhelming financial demands. We collected $140 for this mission during the month of December
ending on Christmas Eve.
~ Missions would like to extend our most sincere “Thank you” for all the help our own church members
extended to us over the year. Without you we would not have been able to prove that “God is still
speaking.” God bless you one and all.
Gratefully, The Missions Committee: Lucille Baver, Dolores Colaiacomo, Marion Gaetano (who now lives in
Canada but still helps us!) and Wally Yeager
BUILDING AND GROUNDS COMMITTEE ~ By: Sharon Brezina
Happy New Year to All !!
We had a very busy and productive 2014 with some additional improvement plans for 2015.
You’ll be seeing some fundraising going on to help with the costs of some projects we would like to
accomplish in the new year. We hope you will come out and support us.
During the winter months we will concentrate on cleanup inside. And minor repairs.
We are going to be making some calls and gathering proposals to remodel the bathrooms in Lynch Hall
and adding a handicap entrance.
At our next meeting, on January 11th after service, we will discuss the B&G 2015 Timetable and get more
specifics on items like: Spring and Fall Cleanup dates, Fundraisers, special events and planned family time
hosted by B&G. We will publish this info as soon as we can to allow time for planning.
Be Safe, Be Warm and Be Blessed in 2015
In Him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the LORD. Ephesians 2:21
A New Year's Plan by Mary Fairchild
I tried to think of a clever new phrase—
A slogan to inspire the next 365 days,
A motto to live by this coming new year,
But the catchy words fell flat to my ear.
And then I heard His still small voice
Saying, "Consider this simple, daily choice:
With each new dawn and close of day
Make new your resolve to trust and obey."
"Don't look back caught in regret
Or dwell on the sorrow of dreams unmet;
Don't stare forward anchored by fear,
No, live in this moment, for I am here."

"I am all you need. Everything. I Am.
You are held secure by My strong hand.
Give Me this one thing—your all in all;
Into My grace, let yourself fall."
So, at last I'm ready; I see the way.
It's to daily follow, trust, and obey.
I enter the new year armed with a plan,
To give Him my everything. All that I am.
