THE OPEN DOOR Issue 4 Volume 12
January 22, 2012
______________________________________________________________________________________
Pastor’s Message
This past weekend eight youth, two leaders,
and I went to Pilgrim Center for the annual
Wisconsin Conference UCC high school youth
retreat. Sixty-one people from all over the
state gathered for a weekend of worship, mu-
sic, relationship building, and intentional de-
votion. The theme was “Gathering Waters”; a
reminder of how our baptism unites and calls
us to be a community gathering in the name
of Christ. There were a lot of conversations,
some deep questions, and a major dose of fun.
This retreat got me to thinking about all the
retreat experiences that have helped solidify
my faith over the years. I have attended
enough lock-ins, weekend ski trips, mission
trips, fall and spring weekends to make a
pretty long list. Consequently, a lot of my
strongest memories of “church” were not ac-
tually at “church.” In fact my church memo-
ries include musty camp cabins, gymnasium
floors, distant hotels, sleeping under the stars,
strangers becoming friends, conversations in
the back of a fifteen-passenger car. While I
wasn’t at church, the Church was all around
me. The Church was growing without a
building.
In my mind (especially working with youth)
the relational and spiritual growth that takes
place on a well-planned retreat is hard to
match. When we uproot ourselves and travel
together something happens that cannot be
measured. We journey to a new place, to in-
vite God into our lives in a new way, and
learn to see one another as new creations. This
immersion is often second to none as we jour-
ney along the road of faith. But traveling to-
gether requires true commitment. It means
not only clearing the blackberry schedule and
taking those first steps together; but it also
means journeying with an open heart. An
open heart experiences God in the different
faces, places, and new ways God meets us. An
open heart is non anxious, non judgmental,
and flexible. An open heart seeks to under-
stand and be receptive, not to be served and
chronically disappointed by unmet expecta-
tions. Yet sometimes we sign up for a retreat
(or church program) like we sign up for a new
service contract with our cable company.
With all the discriminating expectations of the
finest consumer (something we Americans
pride ourselves upon) the retreat experience is
understood as a product and thoroughly in-
spected for flaws. Relationships become objec-
tified, faith becomes a commodity, and we are
off to the next product to feed our appetites.
And our hearts become closed to the move-
ment of God in the Church without a build-
ing. I call this the “consumers heart.” I know
my consumers heart can get the best of me
during normal life, let alone a full immersion
experience where everything tends to be am-
plified.
7
When was the last time that you participated
in a retreat experience? When have you par-
ticipated in a mission trip? When have you
cleared the calendar for an immersion in
Christ? And if you have, did you have an
open heart or did your consumers heart get
the best of you? This summer from July 15-22
thirty six high school youth and adults will
travel to Marvell, Arkansas for a week of wor-
ship and service on our summer mission trip.
It promises to be a wonderful experience; one
of many that our church provides for all ages.
If you are in high school, or have a child in
high school, spaces are filling fast and I chal-
lenge you to take the first step and commit.
Commit with a willingness to serve and the
joy of an open heart, and expect to meet God
in a new way!
Give me a call if you have any questions.

Congregational Life
Monday Morning Prayer Moments in
the Chapel: (Beginning Feb. 6) A new opportunity will be available to First
Congo and any of its member friends to meet
for one hour from 10:15 am to 11:15 am Mon-
day mornings to lift up those listed in the bul-
letin/newsletter in extended moments of
prayer in the Chapel. We shall also include
any others of family and community that are
mentioned by those attending. After an open-
ing greeting and word, the leader will read
the name and there will be moments for each
to silently give their own prayers. When we
have prayed for everyone on the list, we shall
close the prayer moments with the Lord’s
Prayer. If there is time left in the hour, we
shall do a shared study of either the texts used
on the Sundays of worship or a particular Bib-
lical passage. There will be time for discus-
sion. We shall end with a benediction. Rev.
Harvey Kandler and Rev. Maynard Beemer
will lead these moments which are intended
to be available throughout the year. There
will be a sign-up in the back of church for
those interested. Anyone is welcome.
CHRYSALIS Join us for our next book discussion! The
Chrysalis group will be reading Bad Girls of
the Bible by Liz Curtis Higgs. We meet the
first and third Tuesdays of each month from
5:30-6:45 p.m. Our newest book discussion
will begin Tuesday, February 7th . Call
Sheryl De Hart, 731-2620, or Trish Brehm, 739-
8522, for more information.
Mental Illness Support Group If you're looking for information and support
to cope with a relative's mental illness, First
Congregational and NAMI offer a monthly
family sharing group based on the NAMI
model and led by NAMI-trained facilitators
who are part of our congregation. Participants
need not attend First Congregational.
The purposes of the group are to:
Provide a safe place for sharing our expe-
riences and concerns with each other
Offer constructive suggestions for dealing
with day-to-day and long-term challenges
Be a source of spiritual nurture and hope
at a time when hope is hard to find.
8
Please note that this group is intended for
people currently in an active care-giving rela-
tionship with a loved one suffering from a
mental illness, not for those struggling with
mental illnesses themselves. New participants
are welcome at any session.

Warming Shelter
Thank you to the 60+ members that have
volunteered this week at the warming shel-
ter! Special thanks to Leigh Grube & Mary
Sullivan for coordinating this week.
NOAHH (Neighbors Offering A
Helping Hand) Thank you to everyone that donated items
listed last week! After reading the article,
some people asked “What is NOAHH” and
“How do you get these families situations”?
Project NOAHH is a way that social workers
from Outagamie County Human Services can
meet unmet needs of their clients by connect-
ing those needs with members of churches
who neither have the items and no longer
need them, who offer to purchase new items
or who offer monetary donations for to be
used for the need. In a recent situation a
child needed the fees to participate in ‘brown-
ies’ – allowing her good socialization and
mentoring, in another situation a child has
benefited greatly by participating on a swim
team. Updates on needs will be shared as
we receive them. For anyone wishing to do-
nate funds to this mission ministry, please
indicate NOAHH in the memo area of your
check. Your donations and support have
made a difference for many children, parents
and families!

Feed My Starving Children
Several area churches will once again be
sponsoring a Feed My Starving Children Mo-
bile Pack, scheduled for July 16-18, 2012. Dur-

70 countries through mission partners in or-
phanages, clinics relief centers and schools.

for malnourished children.
The Mission & Service team is seeking people
who are interested in leaing/organizing’ this
project on behalf of First Congregational. We
are considering being a ‘Participating Con-
gregation’ and in order to do that need lead-
ership from our congregation to attend organ-

count & financial goal, strategize and organ-
ize fund raising and promote the project
within our church.

ESTHER CORE Team Presents…
Sunday, January 29, at 9:50 a.m. in the Chapel,
our church ESTHER CORE Team will present
the TIP “11x15” Campaign. The statewide
interfaith organization of WISDOM believes
that the prison population in the state can and
should be reduced by half – to 11,000 by the
end of 2015 throught alternative treatment.
We pay a huge human price for our overuse
of incarceration. Families and communities
have been destroyed. Costs have risen dra-
matically. The cost of Corrections in Wiscon-
sin has risen from under $200 million per year
in 1990 to more than $1.3 billion in 2011. This
cannot be sustained.
The vast majority of inmates in our prisons
have no history of violence. Many suffer from
mental illness and/or addictions. Most are
people of color, and an inordinate number
come from backgrounds of poverty.
The good news is that alternatives to incarcer-
ation that are being proven effective every
day in our state. Counties have extablished
numberous programs: drug treatment courts,
mental health courts, day report centers, uni-
versal screening, mental health courts, and
more. We are learning, decisively and over-
whelmingly, that alternatives to incarceration
are effective. They are effective by most any
measure:
Alternatives to incarceration nearly
all result in markedly lower recidi-
vism rates. That is, offernders in al-
ternative programs tend to be rehabil-
itated and not to re-offend, while in-
carcerated offenders are more likely
to commit another offense.
Alternatives to incarceration are more
likely to result in restoring the of-
fender to health, expecially those suf-
fering frm mental illness and/or ad-
dictions.
Alternatives to incarceration save
taxpayers a great deal of money.
Most save at least $2 for every dollar
spent.
Please join us on the 29th and sign on to this
campaign.

Addendum to the First Congregational U.C.C. Bulletin/Newsletter
January 22, 2012
Notice of a Call for Ratification of Prior Council Decision
On February 5, 2012, the congregation will be asked to vote on the following recommended revi-
sion:
At the March 2011 meeting, Church Council recommended that Article 10, Section 1 of the By-
laws be revised as follows, “The Annual Meeting of the church shall be held in January no
later than the second Sunday in February of each year, the exact date to be set by the Church
Council.”
The purpose of changing the meeting date from January to February is to allow more time for the
preparation of year-end reports and the coming-year budget, with the expectation that both will
be available to members for review at least two weeks before the Annual Meeting date. This
change enables more thoughtful preparation of reports since the prior year church financial ac-
counts are not complete until mid-January. This year, the Annual Report was available to the
congregation on January 22, 2012.
Upon ratification of this revision, the By-Laws will be amended accordingly.
