FLEAZAAR
The 2016 Fleazaar is off to a great start! Saturday, April 16th was the first Saturday the Barns were open. The day was warm and sunny with volunteers to process and sort donations while Manny and Eric went out to pick up a donation. It was wonderful to see the eagerness and enthusiasm of the volunteers and it was wonderful to see the regulars back making donations.
We will continue to have The Barns open for donations, Saturdays from 9-12 am through July 9th. We welcome and need volunteers on Saturdays to take in donations, sort donations and make pickups of donations. Trucks or trailers are helpful but not necessary. No experience is necessary, but if you have experience or special skills - let us know. We do have a need for someone with knowledge of small engine maintenance. If that sounds like you, please let us know.
Dan and Nan Bloch
The barns are open to receive donations from 9:00am-noon every Saturday.
Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciate
The Art Tent
One of the fun things about Fleazaar is that we are all looking to find treasures. Many years ago, I was living in Mississippi and coming to Manitowish Waters every summer with my children to visit my mom and their grandmother, Betty Christensen. One of the highlights of that trip was the annual Fleazaar. We would all rise at 6 am and go to the Community Church and wait in that long line to enter promptly at 7 a.m. Each of us always found a treasure, but I also saw the tremendous dedication and fun members of the church were having while raising money for the work of the church. I began to volunteer and when Jeff and I retired we joined this wonderful church. Art and fine crafts really had no home, so it was decided to create an art tent. Sherlene and Bob Schmidt, Barb and Bill Kaufman, and Jeff and I began the Art Tent in a shared space with Christmas Items. Soon, we were able to get our own tent. The fun has been to create it in the form of a mini art gallery and the men have been resourceful in obtaining old doors to put together to hang our work. Through the years we have had some valuable pieces that have been donated. A donated oil painting that looked special was sent it to an auction company and it sold at auction for $5,000. That was quite a profit and adventure. It had to be taken to Milwaukee and appraised and then crated and sent to Utah for auction. Sotheby’s and Christie’s wanted to auction it but the appraiser felt we should sell it out West because of the theme of the art.
We love to get prints and originals of a northwoods theme because they fit so well into cottages. The modern art seems to attract lots of college age people, and old prints are in demand by the antique enthusiasts. Artists scan the tent for frames and kids look for great posters. We are looking for great art and crafts and volunteers to work our tent this season!

MISSIONS
TAMALE NIGHT[pic]
Fundraiser for Pura Vida
Guatemala Missions
Thursday, May 5th
6:00pm
MWCC Fellowship Hall
Join us for our Guatemala Fundraiser
Bill Williams will be preparing his renowned tamales served with a Guatemalan flare, and Janie will give a recap of her recent construction trip.
All funds raised will support our church's continued mission work in Guatemala. The next trip will focus on education. Any extra monies collected will be used for either a scholarship for an area young person to participate in a Pura Vida mission trip, or a donation to Pera Vida’s “Unsponsored Student Fund.”
Remember to sign up - a sign-up list is posted on the bulletin board near the Fellowship hall, or call Janie at 218-969-4433.
Thank you for your continued support!
Spring has finally arrived in the
North Woods…what a blessing!
Our Loose Change Offering of $234.88 was sent to the Lakeland Food Pantry for the months of January, February and March. The next three months will be allocated to the Mercer Food Pantry. The pantry is a non-profit organization, and services 138 families in the mercer area. Each month, the head of the household is allowed 30 lbs. of food, with each additional member of the family receiving 15 lbs. each. In addition, each household receives 10 lbs. of meat per
month, along with weekly allotments of dairy products and bread.
Traveling to New Richmond, WI, every 6 to 8 weeks, Dave and Louise Minisan purchase 48 banana boxes full of food, costing $13.00 a box. The money to purchase these boxes comes from private individuals, bequests, lions and Lioness groups. Trigs Village Market also contributes items three times weekly.
Three times yearly, Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter, the families are given food baskets. In addition, at Christmas, toys are given to the children, plus a new coat, snow pants, boots, Christmas and regular outfit. This does not interfere with our “Christmas for Kids” program, as all names are checked for any duplicate requests.
Summer brings a garden plot in Mercer’s Community Garden. Fresh vegetables, such as squash, peppers, and tomatoes are grown and are a big help to the families.
If you’ve been wondering what the “loose change” benefits are, and the grocery cart, in the fellowship hall does, this is a small snapshot of what all food pantries do.
Dig deep in your pockets. It is such a worthwhile cause, and every little bit does wonders.

WESTMINSTE GUILD
Westminster Guild met on Thursday, April 7, for our Bible Study, "Come to the Waters," led by Father Bill Radant. This lesson on "The Hospitality of Living Water -- Compassion" focused on the biblical mandate to show compassion and offer hospitality to everyone. Jesus is the Living Water. The Samaritan woman, AND PEOPLE TODAY, need this water. When we welcome the Living Water into our lives, we learn the importance of hospitality and compassion. True hospitality is more than being friendly to strangers. It involves welcoming people into our hearts and having compassion for them in their situations in life. It also involves being evangelists who share the good news of the Living Water, the Risen Christ.
During the business portion of this meeting and during our April 21 meeting, we worked on plans for Women's Sunday, May 15, and for our participation in the PW Presbytery Annual Meeting in Duluth on April 28. Of course, as always at this time of year, we are ramping up our Fleazaar planning. In this connection we are hopeful that the congregation will seek great finds in their attics, basements, and garages. We are particularly looking for antiques, seasonal items, hand-crafted items, and jewelry. If you are in the process of upgrading your garden, propagating new plants, etc., please consider starting a few extra for our plant portion of the bazaar. And, of course, we make our annual plea for canned pie filling! Last year our "baking ladies" made 50+ pies for the bake sale, and that means a lot of pie filling. So if you happen to see some on sale, buy a few extra cans and bring them to the kitchen anytime. We will pile them up on the baker’s racks in the far corner of the kitchen, and we thank you so much for thinking of us.
Our next meeting will be on May 5 -- 9:30 AM in the Fellowship Hall -- our last Bible Study lesson of the year, "River of Life -- Hope."
Please consider joining us -- we would love to welcome you.

Chit Chat
The month of May in our Gregorian calendar is probably named after a conflation of two goddesses, one Greek and the other Roman, both of which are named, ‘Maia.’ The Greek goddess Maia was one of the Pleiades, the companions of Artemis. This Maia was the mother of Hermes, the messenger of the Gods. The Roman Maia was named for the Latin word for large, maius, and she was associated with growth and the spring. May this May be for each of us a time when God’s message comes to us in new ways, and may our own spiritual lives “grow” deep and “large.”
How might we ensure that spiritual growth this springtime? Simply put, according to George MacDonald, we might say it comes down to two words, “Do,” and “Don’t.” MacDonald writes: “Instead of asking yourself whether you believe or not, ask yourself whether you have this day done one thing because He said, Do it, or once abstained because he said, Do not do it. It is simply absurd”, says MacDonald, “to say you believe or even want to believe, in Him, if you do not do anything He tells you.”
The saving faith “of” Christ, or “in” Christ (that distinction is a very interesting one in its own right) might be viewed as having three general components. In Latin the three are: fides, assensus, and fiducia. Fides is a specific knowledge; something we must know; specific information. No judgment of validity or truthfulness need be made in fides; fides is just information. In our case, it is specific knowledge about Jesus and claims made about him. For instance, we may be given the claim that Jesus saves us from our sins. Fides simply provides this statement about Jesus and what he is said to do for us, nothing more. Assensus, on the other hand, is a value judgment. In assensus one affirms the specific knowledge and information is true. In our case assensus, would say, “I affirm the claim that ‘Jesus is our savior’ is true.” Finally, in fiducia one personally places ones trust in that truth. You take the proverbial, ‘step of faith.’ You appropriate that truth in the way you live. You make an existential commitment.

My favorite example is that of a tight-rope artist. First of all, you are told that Mr. Toni Bombini is a tight-rope artist who can push a wheelbarrow across a wire stretched between two tall buildings. In fact, you are told that he can even push another person in that wheel-barrow across that wire between the two buildings and bring him safely to the other side. At first you are simply given that information. You have knowledge of a man named, Toni Bombini, and his purported ability. You have “Fides.”
Second, you are curious about this information you have received, so you begin looking up both corroborating evidence, as well as evidence to the contrary on Bambini’s high-wire artistry. You check up on him on the internet, and on some credible newspapers; you see a few photographs of him doing this spectacular feat, and you interview a few witnesses of the events as well. After evaluating the evidence you have accrued, and using your best critical abilities, you come to the conclusion that the stories of Bambini’s spectacular tight-rope excursions with wheelbarrows and people on wires between buildings are indeed ‘true’. You now have the conviction those stories about Bambini are accurate. He indeed can cross a tight-rope pushing a wheelbarrow with a person in it from one building to another. You now have “Fides” (i.e. information about Bambini), and “Assensus” (i.e. you are convinced the information about him and his feats are true).
Third, you go to see Bambini perform in New York City. He has a wire stretched between two buildings, he has a wheelbarrow at the ready, and asks you to climb on in, and tells you he will push you safely across. You have “Fiducia” if you climb into the wheel-barrow, and take the ride.
When we speak of believing in a religious sense, and if that belief is real, then it will hold all three components --- Fides (information), Assensus (conviction of truth), and Fiducia (existential commitment). In the context of existential commitment, let me now return to Mr. McDonald’s contention once again: “Instead of asking yourself whether you believe or not, ask yourself whether you have this day done one thing because He said, Do it, or once abstained because he said, Do not do it. It is simply absurd”, says MacDonald, “to say you believe or even want to believe, in Him, if you do not do anything He tells you.”
McDonald has thrown down the gauntlet. Have you heard God’s voice? Do you think what you’re being called upon to do by that voice is true? Then do it, or don’t do it as need dictates. Are you going to fish or cut bait? Will you put your money where your mouth is? Do you believe? Chips
