Missions
The Mission committee now covers all bases of mission giving by our church. The following is a snapshot of Presbyterian Women giving.
“Presbyterian Women advocate for justice and peace, to nurture our faith through prayer and Bible study, to support the mission of the church worldwide, and to build an inclusive, caring community of women that strengthens the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), and to witness to the promise of God’s kingdom.”
We live out our PW purpose through shared faith and our gifts of time, talent and treasure—these are the building blocks of PW. And it’s Mission Pledge, which supports each and every PW mission and ministry program and project that holds the foundation together. The following listed are just some of our projects; pillowcase dresses for African girls, shorts for the boys, SERRV, selling fair-trade coffee and candy, health and hygiene kits for flood victims, sewing quilts for DOVE (Domestic Violence Escape) and Tri-County Abuse Centers.
Leadership development, antiracism training and scholarships are available because of our gifts. PW has built partnerships with women from S. Dakota, India, Sudan, Ukraine and Appalachia through Global Exchange and U.S.A. Mission Experience trips.
Besides the Mission Pledge additional offerings through the year are the Birthday Offering in February/March, which will fund 1-5 mission projects. This year’s offering funded the Blue Corn Mothers Alliance in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The Alliance provides a range of services for Albuquerque’s Native American women who experience domestic violence. This multifaceted program offers advocacy; crisis intervention; health, counseling and education services; and referrals for legal and shelter services to Native American women and children who have suffered domestic violence.
The 2013 Thank Offering taken in
September for funding in 2014: 17 of
the projects are ministries serving people
in need in the United States and 13 are
international projects. More than 40% of the projects funded are health ministries. Look for the listing on our church bulletin board.
The Fellowship of the Least Coin links prayer and “least coins” in a very significant way, as the least coin becomes the symbol of prayer for peace and reconciliation. Fellowship of the Least Coin, an ecumenical prayer movement, was begun in 1956 by Shanti Solomon of India who believed that women anywhere could have a sense of being part of a worldwide family of faith as they prayed for peace and reconciliation and set aside the least coin of their country as a symbol of that prayer. As coins are gathered from around the world, they become a sign of our oneness in the common quest for peace, justice and reconciliation. May Friendship Day is the traditional day for collecting the Least Coin Offering. Grants are made by an international committee for special projects of evangelism, service, ecumenical solidarity, awareness-building among women and relief throughout the world.

Don’t be overwhelmed…take it one day and one prayer at a time.

Sincere, Heartfelt Sympathy

A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you today,
just the way you are.
DEACONS
The Board of Deacons continues our work to fulfill our mission as the “caring arm” of the church, to be the helping liaison between church members, the Pastor,
and the community.
We appreciate your help, and ask that you please let any Deacon know if you are aware of someone who could use some support.
Members of the Board of Deacons are:
Dale Ekdahl, Mark Suckow, Cathy Breitholtz, Ruth Stober, Manny Markham, Janis Schumacher and myself.
**the board of deacons will be meeting the third Sunday in the choir room**
*Did you know?
*There is a Letter Lab in the Fellowship Hall with
cards and a list of people to send cards? Or, send one
to someone you feel could use a hug?
*There is an informational hutch next to the cards with
various information on organizations.
*In the narthex, by the fireside room, there is a
collection of “Care Notes”, booklets designed to help
you thru various journeys in your life.
Below is some information for transportation that you may not know that we have in our area:
Transportation:
Vilas County Commission on Aging-
Mary 715-470-3726 or 800-374-1123
Oneida County Commission on Aging –
Mary 715-369-6170 or 800-379-7499
If you live in Arbor Vitae, Woodruff or Minocqua, call the Senior Center at 715-356-9118, ask for Sharon. The Senior Center will help you get a ride to Rhinelander or outside of Minocqua, Woodruff, and Arbor Vitae. Also, if you are going local and live in these towns, Senior Center has a bus that picks up and takes you locally, and sometimes on errands.
For all of these, you must be able to take care of yourself, and by that I mean that they cannot assist wheelchair ridden people. Most of the volunteers are older themselves and they cannot put away wheelchairs or lift you in and out of them. They require filling out a form or calling and verbally giving information to them, and require 48 hour notice.

SAVE THE DATE of:
July 15th for Fleazaar 2015!
We had a busy Fall with several major contributions. After closing for good, The Cottage at Cardinal's gave us their remaining stock for Fleazaar. The Fall drop off day, September 20th went extremely well with many contributions from Church and community members. This was the only scheduled opening of the Barns this Fall. If you have contributions for Fleazaar, arrange with us for a mutually convenient time for drop off by calling us at 714.356.9410. We ask that you not leave things outside as it looks unsightly and may get wet.
Again, thanks for a wonderful season.

WESTMINSTER GUILD
Westminster Guild met on September 4 for our first Bible Study of the year. Entitled "Reconciling Paul: A Contemporary Study of 2 Corinthians," our first lesson was led by Kay Suffron in the absence of our beloved study leader, Father Bill Radant, who is recovering from surgery. This year's study seeks to answer the question, "Can a letter written by Paul to a particular congregation in the first century help Christians today wrestle with what it means to be faithful followers of Christ in the twenty-first century?" It promises to be a most interesting study, as Paul is a very complex man of many contradictions, and the term "reconciliation" can be thought of in several contexts.
Our second September meeting, on the 18th, included both a business meeting and work bee (for which we are famous!), followed by dessert (for which we are also famous!) -- this time Tiramisu.
In October we will meet on the 2nd (for Lesson 2 of our Bible Study) and the 16th. Westminster Guild is open to all women of the church, and we hope you will consider joining us -- we meet at 9:30 AM.
Remember the wonderful spaghetti pie, which was served for lunch on Monday of Fleazaar week? Well, here is that great recipe from Bobbie Behnke.

Kay Suffron, Moderator

The thin edge of the seven ounce blade slices forward
beneath the surface, sweeping at the apex into a figure
eight before powerfully pulling backward. The pattern
repeats again and again in a steady rhythmic cadence.
The smooth ash rails frame the thin shell as it is
propelled forward. The fiery amber, glowing orange,
and irredescent green patches of living tapestry both rise
above and sweep beneath the flawless mirror. The soft
billows float by in the arching azure expanse overhead, and are reflected back in the sapphire surface below. Filmy whisps dance lateraly and then dissolve into the blaze arising from the east. The hull of the canoe parts the caleidscopic palet of autumn colors and moves forward as if it is suspended between two worlds. The giant White Pines hang downward on the glass from their terrestrial counterparts, connected and supported by some unseen power. The craft slides forward with the comptrail of ripples spreading behind as the panarama unfolds in front. The past slips back and the future opens ahead. The summer gives way to the autumn, and we slide forward toward the new seasonal horizon.
The writer of Ecclesiastes tells us in the famous passage in the third chapter that “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to … God has made everything suitable for its time; moreover God has put a sense of past and future into their minds …” and as we read the passage (and I encourage you to read all of it) we’re transported into the passage of our own lives, and the times within our own lives. There are times when we try to do something, and it doesn’t work-out, and all that’s wrong, is that it is the wrong time. Then there are times when things just come together, and it all just fits, simply because it’s just the right time. What is your own sense of your past, and your future? Where is your sense of where you’ve come from, and where you’re heading now? Is there a sense of futility for you in the words of Ecclesiastes, or is it a sense of hope that your time will indeed come? We are all on spiritual journey, and as I write, in two days the church will have a celebration of my twenty years with you. For me, all of that is wrapped up in relationships and with people. Gazing upon the congregation, faces have changed. Many are gone, leaving behind their own legacies of love, and laughter, and labor and tears. Many new faces fill our sanctuary, and with them is a sense of a hope and a future. The images of the ones above the glassy calm, and the images of the others beneath. And yet, both are connected, and by God’s graces held together with us in the great congregation of all the saints, both here, and those beyond at rest.
Eternal God, you call us to ventures of which we cannot see the ending, by paths as yet untrodden, through perils unknown. Give us faith to go out with courage, not know where we go, but only that your hand is leading us and your love supporting us; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Gratefully yours,
Chips
